  12. MARKETING & RISK MANAGEMENT No exposure to egress issues impacting western Canadian operators Current Bakken differentials narrowed to $nil/bbl to $3.00/bbl, reflecting regional production shut-ins • Commissioning of the Dakota Access Pipeline (“DAPL ”) in 2017 significantly narrowed WTI differentials • Capacity expansion at DAPL from 570mbo/d to 1.1mmbo/d by early 2021 • Phillips 66 / Bridger Pipeline announced the construction of the Liberty Pipeline, estimated to be • additional 350mbo/d of new capacity by 2021 Incremental pipeline capacity with • Clearbrook, MN DAPL and others has reduced need for rail transport and narrowed differentials, with 1.3mmbo/d in current excess rail capacity Patoka, IL Differential outlook is Cushing, OK constructive with potential pipeline projects and significant Nederland, TX rail capacity 12
