2 Our approach and heritage: A bottom-up database of ~ upstream oil and gas projects Rystad Energy UCube A microcosmos of the upstream oil and gas industry 2

3 Setting the stage: $100 oil took us into an oversupply of 1-2% and prices plummeted to $30 Global liquid supply Million bbl/d $100 Supply scenarios The $100-scenario triggers positive investment decisions in upstream projects with break-evens below $100 /bbl. The scenario seems to maintain an oversupplied situation Global liquids production IEA demand forecast * Future demand is based on the IEA World Energy outlook 2014 New Policies demand scenario approx. +1% per annum 3 Global liquids demand *

4 2015 saw record E&P capex contraction and 2016 followed suit 2017 still shrinking Change in upstream capex budgets, year-over-year Billion USD real terms % % % 4

5 2017 will see shale budgets expand again, while rest of upstream capex budgets contracts Change in upstream capex budgets, year-over-year Billion USD real terms Non-shale Shale/Tight oil % -9%

6 How supply responds to lower oil prices: Four key forces at work Global liquid supply Million bbl/d 120 Forces at work 100 Nonsanctioned 4. Non sanctioning When yesterdays hangover becomes tomorrows party-starter Tailwinds When yesterdays party becomes todays hangover 60 Producing Global liquids production Real decline Accelerated decline The secondary response from producing fields Overproduction Peeing our pants to keep warm Future sources Source: Rystad Energy UCube 6

7 Supply responding to lower oil prices summarized: Shortfall ahead? Rystad ICE Brent Energy s crude, base historical case oil price front is month contract price and latest five year forward curve the USD forecast per bbl, used nominal the base case scenario in our bottom-up field-by-field upstream 140 database UCube. Rystad 1. + Energy forecasts a higher crude price Overproduction curve than the current futures curve Peeing our pants to keep warm traded in the market as we set our base case 120 prices at the level necessary to prevent significant supply shocks from occurring in the market. Our bottom-up global liquids production profile 100 at the current base case Brent oil price (nominal terms) by year shows: 2015: 94.9 mmbbl/d baseline production 2016: 94.8 mmbbl/d at 47 USD Brent 80 1Q 16: 94.6 mmbbl/d at 35 USD Brent 2Q 16: 95.0 mmbbl/d at 42 USD Brent 3Q 16: 95.2 mmbbl/d at 47 USD Brent 4Q 60 16: 94.6 mmbbl/d at 64 USD Brent 2017: 95.4 mmbbl/d at 67 USD Brent 2018: 97.0 mmbbl/d at 80 USD Brent 2019: 97.9 mmbbl/d at 95 USD Brent 2020: mmbbl/d at 105 USD Brent Accelerated decline The secondary response from producing fields 3.
