June 4, 2020
⚫ AECO: Little changed in the Canadian gas market in the
past month other than the unfortunate development on May
19th with the 2021 NGTL Expansion Project that is suffering
a delay regarding its approval. The project, if approved, will
see 344 km of pipeline laid and the addition of three new
compressor stations along the west path of the NGTL
system. The Canadian Energy Regulator (CER) cited
delaying approval by 150 days due to difficulty in consulting
with stakeholders as a result of COVID-19. AECO basis for
Summer 2021 did not welcome this news with the
April 2021 to October 2021 strip trading down to
US$-0.8575/MMBTU from a recent high of
US$-0.7900/MMBTU
NATURAL GAS

⚫ Prompt WTI rebounded significantly over the course of
May increasing an impressive ~80% to settle at
$35.49/bbl. Crude markets were buoyed by the OPEC+
cuts as well as larger than anticipated production
curtailments across the U.S. and Canada. Lower
production relieved fears that storage would hit tank tops
after U.S. inventories built by almost 11 MMbbl per week
on average across March and April. May saw the balances
shift as production cuts and slight demand improvements
hit the market, resulting in inventories only building by
1.7 MMbbl/d (which included two weeks of draws).
Markets are watching demand closely as it is clear that the
crude market has rebalanced much faster than the product
market and for higher crude prices to be sustainable,
post-COVID-19 lockdown demand for gasoline and
distillates will have to pick up in order to clear the large
refined products glut
⚫ Canadian differentials remained fairly tight, trading inside
pipe economics given the strength of the production cuts
mentioned above. WCS and MSW closed the month
trading at $-5.75 and $-3.50/bbl respectively. Additional
factors we are watching are the response of shale oil to
the price increase and how quickly production is able to
come back, the upcoming OPEC+ meeting and the
potential for extending current cuts, as well as the evolving
relationship between the U.S. and China
Equity Markets
⚫ The Canadian new issue market raised gross proceeds of
approximately C$4.7B in May with no transactions in
energy or PE&I
⚫ The U.S. High Yield primary market saw $9.0B of new
issue supply across twelve issuers (12 tranches) in a
holiday shortened week this past week. U.S. HY volume
for May 2020 is on pace to be among the top three highest
monthly volumes on record
⚫ Following the long weekend, arrangers in the Leveraged
Loan market were looking to wrap up M&A financings and
launch opportunistic issuances. Five issuers allocated five
tranches to raise $1.6B this past week
⚫ PBF Energy, an independent petroleum refiner that
supplies unbranded transportation fuels, heating oil,
petrochemical feedstocks, and other petroleum products
across the U.S. (Ba3 / BB / BB-), priced US$1B five-year
9.250% Senior Secured Notes (Ba2 / BBB- / BB) due 2025
at par, at the tight end of the 9.25% – 9.50% price
guidance. The proceeds will be used for general corporate
purposes
⚫ The U.S. HY Energy Index tightened ~262 bps and the
broader U.S. HY Index tightened ~113 bps in May

CRUDE NATURAL GAS CONTINUED
⚫ NYMEX: Crude prices continue to rally, which leads to
more associated gas into U.S. balances at a time when the
market is already oversupplied, industrial demand has
been weak due to COVID-19, and out-of-the-money LNG
transport spreads are shutting gas into the gulf. These
bearish factors are revealing themselves in both the spot
and forward markets, with Henry Hub cash trading around
US$1.50/MMBTU (low of summer) and NYMEX futures
trading down to US$1.773/MMBTU at the time of writing.
Not all is dire for NYMEX natural gas, however, as gas for
2021 delivery is still holding on to gains enjoyed over the
last couple months, and currently trading around
US$2.64/MMBTU which is good for a US$0.35/MMBTU
rally from early March lows

OIL – THE BEGINNING OF THE RECOVERYCANADIAN OIL RIG COUNT U.S. ONSHORE OIL RIG COUNT
COMMENTARYHISTORICAL WTI PRICES AND OUTLOOKS(5)
⚫ As the U.S. and Canada start opening up the economy from the COVID-
19 pandemic, oil commodities are expected to continue to recover in the
coming months
⚫ Voluntary production shut-ins have supported the pricing recovery; field-
specific challenges may impact which fields/wells can be turned back on
in the near future
⚫ On-shore oil rig activity at all time historic lows in both the U.S. and
Canada implies increasing production declines and therefore, lower
supply into the market
◼ Low rig activity is a leading indicator that oil supply may remain
low/declining for the foreseeable future
⚫ 2020 U.S. refinery throughput is lower than 2019 but utilization has
started increasing in the past month, implying demand recovery;
supported by the increased demand on petroleum products
⚫ Shut-ins, historic low rig activity, and increasing demand indicate further
contango WTI pricing in the near future

For use on pages 11-19, we define the following well classifications:
Location and Drilling wells defined as wells licensed or licensed and spud in the last twelve months (LTM), with no rig release date on record. Standing wells are defined as wells that have not produced but
have a rig release date within the LTM. Producing wells include water injectors that support production All wells with no production and a rig release prior to January 2012 are not shown. All wells with no
production in LTM not shown. As of the August 2018 Market Monitor, thermal production in Saskatchewan is now excluded from the “Other” play category. Production volumes are raw
