2 Role of Sustainable Mega Projects on the Future of Iraq Economy & Human Capital 1. Introduction 2. Energy Balances and the future of renewables 3. Projected adaptation in the Supply Chains of Oil and Gas to the changing market conditions 4. Deliberation on the role of Iraq s oil & gas in the future petrochemical Industry and its benefits to Domestic SMEs. 5. Concluding remarks
3 Introduction Since the 1950s the dream of using the hydrocarbon resource as a catalyst for development, prosperity of its citizens and a return to the Golden age of relying on human capability and productivity to bridge the gap with the Developed Nation remains a mirage. In fact many regional oil & gas producers found that even their food depends on the revenues of selling the hydrocarbon resource, knowing full well that they have no control on the price or its volatility.

5 This presentation looks at the projections of the Energy profile from respected International sources over the next 20 years. From such data, it may become clear what the common overlap areas of concerns to the regional producers of fossil fuels when considering the scale of investment and the increasing cost of compensating for the depletion rate of resource production and / or supporting the marginal increase in projected demand for the resource. Further, for Iraq in particular, the growth in population and the potential reduction in oil net revenues leading to deteriorating living standards prompt us to focus on new sustainable revenues from both Capital investment and the skilled Human capital.
6 2. Energy Balances and the future of renewables
7 Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) The Economist February 25 th -March 3 rd 2017:-Clean energy s dirty secret :- From being peripheral to the energy system just over a decade ago, they are now growing faster than any other energy source and their falling costs are making them competitive with fossil fuels. There is a $20 trn hitch, though. To get from here to there requires huge amount of investment over the next few decades, to replace old smog belching power plants and to upgrade the pylons and wires that bring electricity to consumers. Yet green energy has a dirty secret. The more it is deployed, the more it lowers the price of power from any source. That makes it hard to manage the transition to a carbon free future, during which generating technologies, clean and dirty, need to remain profitable if the lights are to stay on. Source IEA
8 Recent discussions in the IP Week 2018 held in London, confirmed the commitment of the major ME oil and Gas producers to take the risks of retaining their role as providers of hydrocarbons to the consuming nations over the next 20 years. Such commitment comes even with the challenges to carbon base fossil fuels and their uncertain future in the blend of energy as well as initiatives by major banking institutions to discourage financing projects related to fossil fuels. Capital cost of projects in the region and more specifically the Mega projects carry a higher price tag compared to Developed Countries. Future costs of construction will increase at a higher rate than global A regional cooperation as Iraq re-aligns its relations with neighbours, with a focus on efficiency, cost reduction and strategy for diversification, promises to transform the Middle East to a more attractive region for Foreign Direct Investment.
9 Suggested Scope for Regional Co-operation :- Historical Event to be Re-visited :- Cost Reduction Initiative in the New Era [ CRINE ] In the early 1990s, the North Sea production was unsustainable due to low oil prices and high projects cost. All the stakeholders connected with the initiative knew the following must happen:- 1. Cultural change new way of doing things. Revised relationship between operators, contractors & suppliers with a change in attitudes and practices and breaking down the mistrust by working closely and transparently as a team with an aligned project objectives & targets. 2. aims and objectives- CRINE Targets:- 30% reduction in Capital costs 50% reduction in Operating costs 3. No compromise in Safety, protection of the environment, continue to maximise the remaining recoverable reserve, improve the construction industry s competitiveness in the international market. Results:- survival of the North Sea as an Oil & Gas centre & return to profitability. * Repeat of similar initiative to CRINE in 2014 by an Asian Company to combat similar business environment to that of the 1990s.
10 Remarks Relevant to Iraq Iraq is very conscious of 2 things :- Want to increase oil production to reap higher economic return [ net revenue = volume X price - costs] to catalyse the socio- economic development plan ; with the consequence of increased gas production. Want to minimize the economically wasteful Flaring of gas and comply with the environmental practices. The views of increasing oil [and hence the associated gas ] production while combating the gas Flaring, via absorption capabilities & diversification [ that generates the maximum benefit to Iraq], has been endorsed by energy experts and strategic planners. The associated gas is considered as the backbone for highly competitive petrochemical industries. Gas is the Fuel of choice for the highly developed nations, so with a vision to see Iraq in that category, we need to make sure that the priority for gas is for Iraq. For compliance with the Climate Change transition scenario, the decarbonization from current power stations emitting high quantities of CO2 due to firing coal and/or liquid fuel, gas offers an effective intermediate solution.
11 Typical Supply Chain Crude Oil Retail Markets IHRDC
12 Cost of Imported Products For Iraq, with limited sea access, the importation of deficit products is logistically difficult exercise as well as being expensive. The lack of the productive capacity means the following :- Iraq oil is exported to a refinery [ cost of marketing / logistics / inventory ] ; the Foreign refinery is an economic centre [ profit making ] store the products [ cost of inventory & marketing] ; This refiner may not be using the Iraqi crude. trader buys the product & ship it to Basra port ; storage and distribution from Basra. What is Lost in the cycle?.. Big Money

15 3. Role of Oil & Gas in Petrochemicals
16 Role of Natural gas in supporting oil refining for clean fuels and petrochemicals Oil Refining :- With the changes in products quality, product slate and low demand for fuel oil, the availability of cheap source of hydrogen namely from natural gas became very important parameter in optimizing the investment and profitability of modern refineries. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) - voted to move the implementation of a 0.5% global sulfur cap on marine fuel to 2020 from This decision will give an opportunity for refiners with access to gas to build Hydro conversion & treating process units and improve their competitiveness, while meeting the lower sulfur levels in fuel oil. Petrochemicals:- Associated Gas is a cost effective feed [ price and impact on investment ] for the petrochemical industry. The alternate is using liquids derived from Oil Refining as raw material.

19 Example of Evolving Business Dynamics & Challenges for sustainable performance - Source Shell
20 New Refinery project - Characteristics Location :- Market Features and size of the location Raw material supply Environmental Impact Infrastructure Support facilities, resources and supplies Typical period of time to implement the project [ from concept to commissioning ]:- Best recent record is Reliance Industries Ltd 33 months for the first refinery and 36 months for the second refinery Recent refineries in China, US, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam have taken 5-10 years [ source:- Reliance ]. Basis for project conceptualisation & evaluation :- The Concept phase of a refinery project is based on the knowledge of today & the events of the past and prediction [ and / or vision ] of the future. Prediction accuracy reduces the further the projection. The Asset will be designed for the projected availability of the crude oils & their quantities and the quality of the various products. Often the value of phasing [ dynamics of organic growth ] the investment is overlooked. The accuracy of the project cost is better known [ especially with a lump sum EPC ], than the revenue stream. The project revenue is derived from the operation of the refinery and the sales of products, which is about 4-5 years from the conceptualisation of the project, hence carries relatively high uncertainty. Fortunately there is a trend in refining margins, which is more important for the cash flow than revenue from sales.
21 Harmonisation with the Overall Economic Development Plan [EDP] Multi Industrial projects Integration Concept and its benefits Just in time phasing Development of Skills and Resources Outside the boundary:- Infrastructure and Support Services Remember:- [ EDP] is structured to:- Synergise & integrate projects in all sectors in a multiphase plan; includes ORGANIC growth over time; Guided by long-term Vision; flexible to re-examine progress and alignment with emerging needs.
22 4. Mega Projects with a reach to local SMEs Distribution of benefits The Socio Economic Benefits are :- - Economic Improvement - Participation of the Private Sector - Employment - Skill Development - Security & stability

24 Stages for Capital Projects Development of Project Plan & Scope Funding SWEC
25 Balancing Act for Success
26 Selection of Business Structure Model Once you confirm the need for External Sourcing, you evaluate options for the functionality & sustainability of the project [Stress testing] If securing investor [with the right qualifications] mitigate the concerns, you translate the partnership into a Business Model Relationships & responsibilities are established by negotiated Agreements Note :- Agreements are negotiated. It is often overlooked that : You get what was negotiated & not what your worth is Lessons Learnt:- Enrich your negotiating team with compatible skill to that of the other party to achieve longer lasting relationship
27 Typical Subjects in the Business Plan There is no standard format but most plans include: An executive summary highlighting the main points - Details of key personnel with an organisational chart showing individual responsibilities. Market research - details of competitors and how the project fits into the market - eg who are the potential customers are and why you think they will buy your product or service. Your marketing plan - how you are going to get your products to the potential customers, together with any assumptions made when setting your targets. Financial information eg. key ratios. These can be used to compare your business' performance against industry benchmarks. How you will manage credit, expenditure, stock planning and control, and debtors and creditors. When seeking funding, include: A cash flow forecast indicating the amount of funding you need and why. For a startup, include estimates of how much finance you will need for two to three years or until you start to make a profit. Indicate contingency funds that might be needed for rough patches. Financial forecasts for a three- to five-year period. How a loan will be repaid, how investors can get their money back, and when.
28 Private Sector Decision Tree A) Yes / No :- Security ; safety of employees ; B) C) High Concerns Security and sustainability ; ability to operate without disruptions License & Permits validity [ political stability ] and enforcement [ legal ] Expropriation Corruption & lack of transparency Standard Concern Likely return on investment Future opportunities in country Company s comfort with the type of project, operating environment and skill requirement
29 5. Concluding Remarks From the regional cooperation, as Iraq re-aligns its relations with neighbours, Oil & gas projects & investment co-ordination strategy promises to transform the Middle East. For Iraq, with limited changes to the current revenues from the Oil & Gas sector and the growth in population leading to deteriorating living standards prompt us to focus on new sustainable revenues from both Capital investment and the skilled Human capital. To create the new sources of revenue there must be a vision with a road map for the implementation of the development projects led by Iraqis with Practical experience, competency, integrity, commitment to the vision and ability to strike compromises that will guarantee successful value added results with robust economic growth and is tailored to enhance the prosperity & the social wellbeing of all the Iraqis. There is a need to develop & organise skilled resources to manage sustainable projects acceptable to the providers of Funds and/or investors. Provider of Funds or investors will need the comfort that all the risks and uncertainties are quantified and plans for mitigating such events are in place. There are variety of options for the Engagement of external resource; but the final selection is based on the value addition and the alignment of the business objectives. Make sure you know what you are doing, if you follow Frank Sinatra I DO IT MY WAY.
