Safe Harbor For Forward Looking Statements
2
This presentation may contain “forward-looking statements” as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding future prospects,
plans, objectives, goals, projections, estimates of oil and gas quantities, strategies, future events or performance and underlying assumptions,
capital structure, anticipated capital
expenditures, completion of construction projects, projections for pension and other post-retirement benefit obligations, impacts of the adoption of new accounting rules, and
possible outcomes of litigation or regulatory proceedings,
as well as statements that are identified by the use of the words “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,”
“intends,” “plans,” “predicts,” “projects,” “believes,” “seeks,” “will,” “may,” and similar expressions.  Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which could cause
actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.  The Company’s expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good
faith and are believed by the Company to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs or projections will result or be achieved or
accomplished.
In addition to other factors, the following are important factors that, in the view of the Company, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-
looking statements:  Impairments under the SEC’s full cost ceiling test for natural gas and oil reserves; changes in the price of natural gas or oil; financial and economic conditions,
including the availability of credit, and occurrences affecting the Company’s ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms
for working capital, capital expenditures and other
investments, including any downgrades in the Company’s credit ratings and changes in interest rates and other capital market conditions; delays or changes in costs or plans with
respect to Company projects or related projects of other companies, including difficulties or delays in obtaining necessary governmental approvals, permits or orders or in obtaining
the cooperation of interconnecting facility operators; factors affecting the Company’s ability to successfully identify, drill for and produce economically viable natural gas and oil
reserves, including among others geology, lease availability, title disputes, weather conditions, shortages, delays or unavailability of equipment and services required in drilling
operations, insufficient gathering, processing and transportation capacity, the need to obtain governmental approvals and permits, and compliance with environmental laws and
regulations; changes in laws, regulations or judicial interpretations to which the Company is subject, including those involving derivatives, taxes, safety, employment, climate
change, other environmental matters, real property, and exploration and production activities such as hydraulic fracturing; governmental/regulatory actions, initiatives and
proceedings, including those involving rate cases (which address, among other things, target rates of return, rate design and
retained natural gas), environmental/safety
requirements, affiliate relationships, industry structure, and franchise renewal; changes in price differentials between similar quantities of natural gas or oil at different geographic
locations, and the effect of such changes on commodity production, revenues and demand for pipeline transportation capacity to or from such locations; other changes in price
differentials between similar quantities of natural gas or oil having different quality, heating value, hydrocarbon mix or delivery date; the cost and effects of legal and administrative
claims against the Company or activist shareholder campaigns to effect changes at the Company; uncertainty of oil and gas reserve estimates; significant differences between the
Company’s projected and actual production levels for natural gas or oil; changes in demographic patterns and weather conditions; changes in the availability, price or accounting
treatment of derivative financial instruments; changes in economic conditions, including global, national or regional recessions, and their effect on the demand for, and customers’
ability to pay for, the Company’s products and services; the creditworthiness or performance of the Company’s key suppliers, customers and counterparties; economic disruptions or
uninsured losses resulting from major accidents, fires, severe weather, natural disasters, terrorist activities, acts of war,
cyber attacks or pest infestation; significant differences
between the Company’s projected and actual capital expenditures and operating expenses; changes in laws, actuarial assumptions, the interest rate environment and the return on
plan/trust assets related to the Company’s pension and other post-retirement benefits, which can affect future funding obligations and costs and plan liabilities; increasing health
care costs and the resulting effect on health insurance premiums and on the obligation to provide other post-retirement benefits;
or Increasing costs of insurance, changes in
coverage and the ability to obtain insurance.
Forward-looking statements include estimates of oil and gas quantities.  Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas which, by analysis of geoscience and
engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations. 
Other estimates of oil and gas quantities, including estimates of probable reserves, possible reserves, and resource potential, are by their nature more speculative than estimates of
proved reserves.  Accordingly, estimates other than proved reserves are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized. Investors are urged to consider closely the
disclosure in our Form 10-K available at www.nationalfuelgas.com.
You can also obtain this form on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
For a discussion of the risks set forth above and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from results
referred to in the forward-looking statements, see “Risk
Factors” in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 and the Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016. The Company
disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date thereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Seneca WDA Joint Development Agreement
12
Key Terms
On December 2, 2015, Seneca entered into an asset-level joint development agreement with IOG CRV-Marcellus
Capital, LLC, an affiliate of IOG Capital, LP, and funds managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group, LLC, to
jointly develop Marcellus Shale natural gas assets located in Elk, McKean and Cameron counties in north-central PA.
Assets: 80 current and future Marcellus development wells
in the Clermont/Rich Valley region of Seneca’s WDA.
Partner’s Initial Obligation: 42 wells
Partner Option: Partner has one-time option to participate
in remaining 38 wells on or before July 1, 2016.
Economics:
Partner participates as an 80% working interest
owner until the Partner achieves a 15% IRR hurdle. Seneca
retains a 7.5% royalty and remaining 20% working interest.
Strategic Rationale
Significantly reduced near-term upstream capital spending
Initial 42 wells
-
$200 million
(1)
38 well option -
$180 million
(1)
Validated quality of Seneca’s Tier 1 Marcellus WDA acreage
Seneca maintained activity levels driving additional
Marcellus drilling and completion efficiencies
Solidified NFG’s midstream growth strategy:
Gathering
-
All production from JV wells will flow
through NFG Midstream’s Clermont Gathering System
Pipeline & Storage -
Provides production growth that
will utilize the 660 MDth/d of firm transportation
capacity on NFG’s Northern Access pipeline expansion
projects
Strengthened balance sheet and makes Seneca cash flow
positive in near-term
Marketing: Partner to receive same realized price before
hedging as Seneca on production from the joint
development wells, including firm sales and the cost of firm
transportation.

New York Rate Case

Background
On April 28, 2016, National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation filed a request with the New York
Public Service Commission (NY PSC) to amend its tariff and increase its base rates.  National Fuel’s
base rates have not changed since the last base rate case was litigated in 2007. 
Key Drivers
Anticipated
Timeline
Requesting rate relief that would increase annual revenues by $41.7 million
Key drivers of revenue requirement:
Significant increase in net plant -
$127.5 million -
and related depreciation expense since
9/30/2006, the test year associated with the 2007 rate proceeding
Continued investment in pipeline replacement and system modernization to enhance and
ensure safe, reliable service
Accelerated removal of vintage pipe from current annual target of 95 miles to 110 miles
Commitment to low income customer, conservation and gas expansion initiatives
April 28, 2016
Request filed with NY PSC
for $41.7mm in rate relief
May 31, 2016
Proposed date that revised
rates may become effective
April 1, 2017
Approximate date that revised rates may
become effective

Appalachian peer group includes AR, CNX, COG, EQT,  GPOR, RICE, RRC & SWN. Peer group information obtained or estimated by National Fuel Gas Company from peer
company quarterly public filings (press release & Form 10-K) for the quarter-ended December 31, 2015.  Where applicable and when
information was available, peer company
realizations and margins were adjusted to reflect cash settled hedges and results of  exploration and production operations only.  Accounting methodology for transportation
expense (included in price realizations vs. operating expense) varies between companies. NFG deducts transportation costs from revenues to calculate its price realizations.

Appendix
Comparable GAAP Financial Measure Slides & Reconciliations
58
This
presentation
contains
certain
non-GAAP
financial
measures.
For
pages
that
contain
non-GAAP
financial
measures,
pages
containing
the
most
directly
comparable
GAAP
financial
measures
and
reconciliations
are
provided
in
the
slides
that
follow.
The
Company
believes
that
its
non-GAAP
financial
measures
are
useful
to
investors
because
they
provide
an
alternative
method
for
assessing
the
Company’s
ongoing
operating
results,
for
measuring
the
Company’s
cash
flow
and
liquidity,
and
for
comparing
the
Company’s
financial
performance
to
other
companies.
The
Company’s
management
uses
these
non-GAAP
financial
measures
for
the
same
purpose,
and
for
planning
and
forecasting
purposes.
The
presentation
of
non-GAAP
financial
measures
is
not
meant
to
be
a
substitute
for
financial
measures
prepared
in
accordance
with
GAAP.
The
Company
defines
Adjusted
EBITDA
as
reported
GAAP
earnings
before
the
following
items:
interest
expense,
depreciation,
depletion
and
amortization,
interest
and
other
income,
impairments,
items
impacting
comparability
and
income
taxes.
