Morgan 12:00 Condensate Outlook Will Shale Turn Premiums into Discounts? Up until this point, shale growth has negatively impacted pricing for gas and NGLs, but oil and oil-linked product pricing have remained relatively resilient. Could condensate be the first oily hydrocarbon to suffer pricing discounts as a result of shale-driven oversupply?

How much supply growth will come out of US shale plays? What are the main sources of incremental demand? How could the US create new demand for condensate? Will the petrochemical market play a role in reducing oversupply?
