GPCM Viewpoints^® is a tool that delivers quarterly updated forecasts with extensive reporting and data export capability.  It is designed for companies and individuals who want insight and foresight into gas markets but does not require the full in-house forecasting capabilities of the GPCM® market simulator.  The increasing sophistication of the industry creates more demand on any forecast and the ability to drill down into greater detail.  GPCM Viewpoints provides that level of detail as well as analysis of industry trends and greater transparency in its forecast then has ever been available anywhere else outside of GPCM Users.

Features include:

• Quarterly Updated Forecast
• Detailed Monthly Data
• Access to assumptions in the forecasts
• Graphing (Single or Multiple Data Points)
• Exporting to Excel
• Easy to use design and function.

GPCM Viewpoints consists of forecasts of monthly North American supply, demand, transportation, storage, and price of gas over a time horizon up to twenty-five years into the future.  These forecasts are produced by RBAC’s veteran staff of energy-savvy consultants and researchers using the industry standard GPCM Gas Market Simulation System for North America.  More specifically, the product consists of a quarterly updated forecast as defined by explicit assumptions for future weather, economic growth, world oil prices and energy industry development and demand for LNG from North American sources.

GPCM Viewpoints clients have access to a number of reports containing both summary and detail information for each scenario.

Typical Scenarios:

A mid-range Henry Hub price scenario, based on conservative estimates of economic growth, weather, mid-range world oil prices, recent trends in regional production, and best guess estimates of LNG imports and exports throughout North America.

Other Scenarios:

RBAC will produce from time-to-time alternative scenarios to highlight the potential effects of specific projects, events, or conditions which would be of interest to the industry.

Custom Scenarios:

GPCM Viewpoints licensees may also request customized scenarios based on their own assumptions about economic growth, weather, world oil prices, production capacity, LNG availability, new infrastructure projects which would affect natural gas supply, demand, or deliverability in North America. Such scenarios would be available only to the customer requesting them.
