4 The Current Picture 140 Brent Brent Spot Spot Price Price FOB (FOB) [$/bbl] 120 Brent Spot Price (FOB) -69.9% in 5 months % in 9 months % in 15 months -49.6% in 8 months -57.4% in 28 months -42.5% in 14 months 20 Source: EIA -66.0% in 18 months The current down cycle is unusually deep and long although this is not unprecedented: Key questions are what to make out of the last decade of high prices (one-off anomaly vs. new norm?) as well as the industry losing out on ca $7billion on a daily basis compared to the period Tuesday, 16 February Slide 4

5 Cost to produce one barrel of oil Supply Source: JBC Energy Marginal Cost of Oil Production [million b/d; $/bbl] Supply 2016 Demand 2016 Supply 2014 Demand 2014 This is a snapshot of volumes supplied / demanded on an annualised basis. Short term outages as well as future developments are not reflected. Production costs (full cycle costs in this case) are only indicative as there are huge variations within each category. Middle East Onshore FSU onshore Additional cheap crude WAF Offshore North Sea Quantity of Oil Supplied / Demanded Oil sands heavy Biodiesel Ethanol Oil sands upgraded US Shale Oil The question is how many of the marginal resources will be required going forward. Lower break-even costs are only one factor in the equation the other is higher supplies from low-cost producers (OPEC & Russia). Equilibrium is also very sensitive to demand movements.

We could also imagine y-o-y declines to reach a level of 1.5 million b/d in H2, with a significant impact on the balance. Generally speaking America hosts a lot of high-cost output.

Also, higher prices (50-60 $/bbl range) could lead to a ramp up. However in longer term growth will become slower and will not compensate future shortfalls of conventional production.

The Middle East has even seen rising retail prices as governments curtail subsidies to counterbalance lower oil income. Tuesday, 16 February Slide 9

11 Refining Actual Spare Capacity in the Global Refining System in 2015 ['000 b'd] Theoretical Spare Capacity Absent due to Maintenance Seasonality Europe FSU Non-Swing/Non-Operable Asia Middle East Africa Available Spare Capacity North America C&S America 0 2,000 4,000 6,000 8,000 10,000 12,000 14,000 16,000 We assess global spare refining capacity to have tightened further in 2015 in line with strong demand, among other factors. We do not expect a reversal of this trend in CDU shutdowns of 6.8 million b/d in have provided key support. Tuesday, 16 February Slide 11

Delays and cancellation of projects have tightened the refining market. Low oil prices lead to further investment cuts, while China and India are in a low-investment cycle.

14 Talking Points Peaking Supply Growth? CAPEX by big six IOCs has peaked in 2013, while production levels fall since 2010 Question of how much costs fall compared to spending cuts Shale oil will not save us from a potential shortfall in traditional supplies in case of persistent underinvestment Peaking Demand Growth? Low oil prices will fail to provide much demand stimulus in the medium to long term Other energy prices are also low Green revolution, substitution & efficiency improvements move ahead besides strong upward revisions for 2015, going forward we don t see oil demand much higher than before exception: gasoline (cumulatively +1.4 mbpd), while gas oil/diesel -0.3 mbpd compared to 2014 Peaking Refining Spare Capacity? Investment cuts do not only affect oil & gas upstream. (National) Oil Companies in cash strains do also cut back investments in refining, petchem, LNG & other mid- and downstream segments Refining sector will maintain reasonably healthy margins Oil market balance is de facto unpredictable for the coming years? Clearly current information favours surplus to continue well into 2017 But geopolitical risk, potential OPEC policy changes and turning supply-side dynamics in high-cost areas can easily change the balance upside down amid historically low spare capacity levels Tuesday, 16 February Slide 14
