1 European Gas Market in 2017: State and Perspectives Sergei Komlev Head of Contract Structuring and Price Formation Directorate Gazprom Export Oil & Gas Forum, Thompson Reuters Moscow, December 14, 2017

2 Mid-Term Recovery of Gas Demand in Europe Continued in 2017 Extensive growth of demand for natural gas in the EU28 from 430 bcm in 2014 to about 500 bcm in 2017, or by estimated 70 bcm. That growth occurred on a back of a declining indigenous EU production, which was down by 18 bcm over the last three years. Strong demand and declining production has led to an increased supply and demand gap widening to 88bcm. Pipeline gas was the main source to meet the growing demand requirements.

3 Short-Term Gas Supply and Demand Trends in Europe Gas Consumption, Indigenous Production, Imports, Exports and Storages in European Countries In bcm Q Q , bcm, % Demand % Total Supply, Including % Indigenous production* % Imports % Net UGS withdrawals / injections** % Reverse to Ukraine % LNG Re-exports % Net Imports*** % Statistical Difference, %**** 1.7% 3.6% 2.0 pp Demand for natural gas in Europe in Q preliminary increased by 27.0 bcm or 7.3% compared with Q Meanwhile the total supply increased by 19.1 bcm or 5.2%, mainly as a result of imports increase by 19.4 bcm or 9.3%. Indigenous production remains at the same level, having increased by 0.4%. The net UGS injections in Europe by the end of Q amounted to 22.3 bcm (i.e. by 1.6 bcm less compared with the results of 2016). Reverse flows to Ukraine in Q increased up to 11.0 bcm compared with 6.5 bcm in Q LNG re-export volumes declined significantly from 2.3 bcm in Q to 0.5 bcm in Q Combination of the above mentioned factors led to an increase in net imports in Q by 16.7 bcm or 8.4% compared with Q *Indigenous production includes Norway. ** Positive value means that withdrawals exceed injections for the period and vice versa. *** Net Imports = Imports + Reverse + Re-exports. Given values may differ from the calculated ones as they are rounded. **** Statistical difference=(demand Total Supply)/Total Supply, %.

Changes in volumes made on year-on-year a year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter basis. and quarter-on-quarter basis. 3

5 Weather Index in Europe for Q in Relation to Historic Average Value Index is calculated as a sum of degree days for respective month aggregated for European countries HDD heating degree days CDD cooling degree days. The calculation is made by Gazprom Export LLC on the basis of weather conditions data of more than 130 areas of various European countries. In Jan.-Sept European weather index was slightly below historical average (98% of the average value), but higher than in Jan.-Sept That is why its overall impact was positive. Weather index exceeded the historical average levels in several countries of Europe: in Italy, Turkey, Romania, Hungary, Austria, the Czech Republic. Significant negative deviations from average level was observed in the UK. 3

6 Year-over-year Dynamics of Economic Activity in Industrial Production Index in 2017 was higher than in 2016, 2.4% compared to 1.2%. Industrial Confidence Index, which reflects expectations over the growth prospects, follows an upward trend since August 2016, increased to a record high of 6.7% in September In Jan.-July 2017 power generation in Europe showed a modest growth by 1.3% compared to the same period last year.

Gas consumption in other sectors % The major contributor to consumption growth was a boost in natural gas demand in power generation in the European Far Abroad In Q demand for gas in power generation was up by 19%, outrunning the growth of demand in the other sectors, which was up by 7.3% compared to Q The share of power generation in total demand for natural gas grew up to 33.9% in Q (Q %).

8 Gas vs. Coal in Power Generation of Germany and the United Kingdom Gas-Coal Switching Price in Power Generation in Germany and the UK* *Gas-coal switching prices differ to diversity of efficiencies of power plants on German and British markets and due to UK Carbon Price Support as addition to EU ETS. ** Gas price - TTF Day-ahead. *** Coal price - CIF ARA Carbon floor in the UK significantly boosted a competitiveness of gas-fired power plants over coal generators in In German only the most effective gas-fired power plants are competitive. Forward prices with deliveries in 2018 point to a decline in coal prices. That may reduce economical attractiveness of gas in the power sector.

14 Economics of LNG Supplies from USA to Europe Natural Gas Price Trend in Europe and Full Cost* of US LNG Supplies to Europe Full-cycle costs of US LNG significantly exceed forward prices on the European gas hubs. For the off-takers of American gas with deliveries to Europe it is a loss making exercise. However such off-takers are incentivized by tolling agreements to deliver LNG from the US to Europe even at a depressed prices in order to minimize losses. *Calculated on the basis of Henry Hub Futures prices, P = HH * 115% + X, where X costs of liquefaction (might differ for different projects from $2,37 to $3,00), shipping to Europe, regasification.

15 Asian Price Premium Asian Price Premium, TTF Prices and Asian LNG Prices In Q the average LNG import prices in Japan and South Korea were respectively $8.4/MBTU and $8.1/MBTU, that was higher by 24% and 27% compared with Q level. This growth reflected an increase in contract prices with oil-indexation due to recovery of oil prices from the beginning of Asian spot prices in Q were at seasonaly low levels about $6.0/MBTU, reflecting weak demand for spot volumes as long-term contracts fully covering demand. As a result, in Q the "Asian" premium (difference between Asian and European spot prices) dropped to around $0.4/MBTU. Growth of Asian spot prices which began at the end of the quarter and forecasted prices for 2017/2018 winter show significant increase of Asian premium. Such market conditions will support higher attractiveness of Asian market for flexible LNG deliveries versus European market. Increased seasonal volatility is, among other things, influence of growing Chinese market, which use spot LNG to cover peak demand in heating sector because of shortage of UGS capacity.

19 Natural Gas Demand and Production Gap in Europe in Updated: October 2017 According to the consensus forecast, additional demand (base year 2016) for import of gas in Europe will amount to approximately: 47 bcm by bcm by 2035 Natural gas European demand and production gap is calculated as the difference between the demand consensus forecast and the production consensus forecast. Definition of European countries slightly differs from one forecast to another. For better comparability all figures are calculated on the basis of compound annual growth rates (CAGR). 19
