Chinese MTO changing global Methanol demand

Global Methanol End Use Breakdown (2015E and 2020E) (1)

• Shown in figure to the right, Methanol‐to‐

Olefins is expected to grow at a remarkable pace, projected to become the largest end‐ use market for methanol by 2020

• China is the world’s largest producer of

MTO and in 2014, MTO accounted for almost 9 million tons of the country’s methanol demand (roughly 25%) – Since 2010, China has added 7 integrated and 4 non‐integrated projects, with a combined methanol capacity of 14 mtpa – In terms of olefin production cost in China, MTO is at a cost advantage compared to Naphta

• The growing Chinese MTO demand will

increase methanol price volatility and become major price driver in the long‐term

___________________________________ (1) Source: MMSA

• In 2015, China expects to have six more MTO projects come on stream,

with total maximum methanol consumption of 9.25 million tons

2014 Global Production of Methanol by Geography

(million metric tons per year) Total Production: ~72 Mtpa Total Demand

The majority of U.S. methanol demand is currently supplied by imports

• In 2014, the U.S. imported approximately 4.5 million metric tons of methanol to meet its supply deficit (68% of total demand)
• The U.S. sources a majority of its imports from Trinidad, which is currently facing a natural gas supply deficit

– Structural shortages in natural gas reserves have led to government rationing

• U.S. methanol demand is expected to increase at a CAGR of 4.2% between 2012 and 2016

– Open Fuel Standard Act of 2013 (Bill H.R. 2493), if passed in Congress, could represent a fundamental shift in demand for methanol as a fuel blend in the US

Industry Overview

Methanol Prices Have Generally Risen Steadily Over Time While U.S. Natural Gas Prices Have Decreased

Methanol and Natural Gas Pricing (1)

(US$/Mt) (US$/MMBtu)

• Approximately 90% of Chinese methanol producers use higher cost coal as their primary feedstock and 10% use expensive

natural gas – This effectively results in an international price floor of approximately US$ 300 per metric ton (stable floor price at any oil price)

• Since 2009, global methanol prices have generally risen steadily over time while natural gas prices have decreased

A significant portion of current and future U.S. ammonia demand is expected to be supplied by imports

• In 2014, the U.S. imported 5.0 million metric tons of ammonia

– Represents 31% of total consumption

• Ammonia must be imported to the U.S. as approximately 20 ammonia plants were closed between 1999 and 2007, including

OCIP’s Beaumont facility – These plants had total annual capacity of more than 8.0 million metric tons

• The U.S. is expected to remain a net importer for ammonia for the foreseeable future as the majority of new capacity announced

has already been cancelled

U.S. Fertilizer-Crop Price Relationship (1)

(US$ / St) (US$ / Bushel)

• Historically, there has been a meaningful correlation between nitrogen fertilizer prices and crop prices

– High crop prices incentivize farmers to increase fertilizer application in order to maximize crop yields, thereby increasing fertilizer demand and resulting in higher ammonia prices

• Marginal producers in Eastern Europe (particularly the Ukraine), effectively set the price floor, with each region applying its
• wn premium based on a number of factors such as local supply/demand dynamics, transportation, logistics and government

policies

Declining Trinidad Natural Gas Reserves: Supportive of OCI Partners LP Story

Overview

• Trinidad faces fundamental gas deficit issues as

increased natural gas production has not been matched by new reserves, leading to a fall in reserve life to 8.8 years in 2013

• Natural gas production fell in 2011 and 2012 as existing

reserves have been depleted Appropriation

• f Natural Gas

Impact on Nitrogen Fertilizer Production

• Ammonia capacity utilization rates in Trinidad have been consistently declining since 2011 as gas supply

issues limited production

• The nitrogen industry in Trinidad was established when there was a gas cost‐based competitive advantage
• ver the U.S.; however, as U.S. gas costs have fallen, this advantage has eroded
• From 2013 to 2014, gas allocation to the production of ammonia dropped by 12%, and allocation to

methanol dropped by 1.2%.

• Fertilizer exports to the U.S. are expected to continue to fall, creating a more favorable environment for

domestic production

Industry Overview

We Expect Our U.S. Natural Gas Advantage to Continue for the Foreseeable Future

Total U.S. Natural Gas Production and Consumption, 1990 – 2040 (1)

(Trillion Cubic Feet)

• The emergence of a U.S. “shale gas advantage” has led to an increase in natural gas supply
• Production from shale formations increasing to ~50% of total annual natural gas production by 2040 as

compared with 34% in 2011

• According to the Energy Information Association (the “EIA”) forecasts, increases in the supply of U.S. natural gas

are tracking to exceed increases in U.S. natural gas demand by 2019, leading to approximately 5.8 Tcf of net exports by 2040

Increased US natural gas production… …has lead to lower prices

• This abundance of U.S. natural gas has resulted in attractive domestic natural gas prices, often substantially

below natural gas prices in other global markets, such as Europe, Japan and Northeast Asia

• Having a low cost feedstock for the majority of our methanol and ammonia production gives us a significant

competitive advantage

• The EIA expects U.S. Henry Hub natural gas prices to remain low for the foreseeable future; natural gas forward

for 2015 is under US$ 3.00 MMBtu

Methanol Ammonia

• Methanol is a liquid petrochemical utilized in a variety
• f industrial and energy‐related applications
• The primary use of methanol is to make other

chemicals

• ~30% of global methanol demand is converted

to formaldehyde, which is used in various industrial applications

• Methanol is also used in the lumber industry, in paper

and plastic products, and various other paint and textile applications

• Outside of the U.S., methanol is used as a fuel in

several capacities:

• Direct fuel for automobile engines
• Gasoline blended fuel
• Octane booster in reformulated gasoline

Essential Building Blocks for Numerous End-Use Products

• Ammonia constitutes the base feedstock for nearly all of

the world‘s nitrogen chemical production

• Over 95% of global ammonia output is used as a

feedstock to produce other chemical forms of nitrogen, such as:

• Fertilizers
• Blasting/mining compounds
• Fibers and plastics
• NOx emission reducing agents
• Direct application to soil for agricultural purposes
• Ammonia is widely used in industrial applications,
