2 Econ One Research, Inc. In Alaska Three Decades Working in Alaska Advisors to State of Alaska s Departments of Law, Natural Resources and Revenue Consulted with Alaska Legislature Regarding Petroleum Tax and Gas Development Issues Analyzed Competitive Issues Relating to Transportation Services, Refining and Gasoline Pricing Prepared Report on the State of Alaska s Refining Industry for the Department of Natural Resources and Senate Finance Committee Econ One Research, Inc. 2

3 Econ One Research, Inc. Outside Alaska Worked with Major Oil-Producing States, Including Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and California Analyzed Competition in the Refinery Industry on the West Coast for the State of California Consulted with the Federal Trade Commission Regarding the Refinery Industry Worked with Producers and Refiners in the Lower 48 Econ One Research, Inc. 3

6 Alaska and the U.S. West Coast are Part of PADD V * * PADD stands for Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts. Econ One Research, Inc. 6

7 Alaska s Refiners are Part of Broader Market that Includes West Coast and Asian Refineries Alaska (3): 97 MBD Capacity Puget Sound (5): 625 MBD Capacity Alaska Refiners use ANS and Cook Inlet Crude Oil; ANS is also a Significant Feedstock for West Coast Refiners No. California (5): 817 MBD Capacity Alaska Refiners Supply Product to Alaska; West Coast and Asian Refiners also Supply Product to Alaska Hawaii (2): 144 MBD Capacity So. California (7): 1,103 MBD Capacity Alaska Refiners Export Heavy Products to the West Coast Econ One Research, Inc. 7

8 Significant Challenges Facing Alaska s Refiners Small in Scale and Technologically Simple Inability to Upgrade Heavy End of Barrel; By-Product Demand for Largest Volume Product (Jet Fuel) Declining Compete in Broader Market With Declining Demand; Creates Surplus Capacity Among Outside Competitors Distant from Other Potential Markets (Distance Cuts Both Ways) Fuel Costs Significantly Higher Than Outside Competitors Few Supply Alternatives, Particularly for TAPS Refiners Econ One Research, Inc. 8
