 in the level of consumer and industrial demand, including impacts from global or national health events and concerns, such as the COVID-19 pandemic;

•the price and availability of alternative fuels;

•technological advances affecting energy consumption;

•the nature and extent of domestic and international conservation and sustainability initiatives;

•the availability, proximity and capacity of pipelines, other transportation facilities and processing facilities;

•the level and effect of trading in commodity futures markets, including by commodity price speculators and others;

•U.S. exports of natural gas, oil, liquefied natural gas and NGL;

•the price and level of foreign imports;

•the nature and extent of domestic and foreign governmental regulations and taxes;

•the ability of the members of OPEC+ and others to agree to and maintain oil price and production controls;

•increased use of competing energy products, including alternative energy sources;

•political instability or armed conflict in natural gas and oil producing regions, including in connection with the continued armed conflict and instability in Europe and the Middle East;

•acts of terrorism; and

•domestic and global economic and political conditions.

These factors and the volatility of the energy markets make it extremely difficult to predict future natural gas, oil and NGL price movements. In addition, any prolonged period of lower prices could reduce the quantities of reserves that we may economically produce.

Conservation measures and technological advances could reduce demand for natural gas and oil.

Fuel conservation measures, alternative fuel requirements, increasing consumer demand for alternatives to natural gas and oil, technological advances in fuel economy and energy generation devices could reduce demand for natural gas and oil. The impact of the changing demand for natural gas and oil could adversely impact our earnings, cash flows and financial position.

Negative public perception regarding us or our industry could have an adverse effect on our operations. 

Negative public perception regarding us or our industry resulting from, among other things, concerns raised by advocacy groups about hydraulic fracturing, waste disposal, oil spills, seismic activity, climate change, explosions of natural gas transmission lines and the development and operation of pipelines and other midstream facilities may lead to new state and federal safety and environmental laws, regulations, guidelines and enforcement priorities. Additionally, environmental groups, landowners, local groups and other advocates may oppose our operations or those of our midstream transportation providers, encourage capital providers to divest of their interests in us or our industry, intervene in regulatory or administrative proceedings involving our assets or those of our midstream transportation providers, or file lawsuits or other actions designed to prevent, disrupt or
