Asian natural gas market Page 13

The Asian Pacific natural gas market is complex and fragmented The region has three separate markets which have their distinct dynamics. First, the mature, well established markets of Japan, Korea and Chinese Taipei, which are isolated, mainly supplied by LNG and have limited scope for further growth. Second, the emerging giants, China and India, which will develop considerable natural gas demand supplied through both pipeline and LNG. Third, the area of South East Asia, which consists of several large LNG producers (Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei) and rapidly growing economies interconnected to a limited extent by pipelines. Page 14

Gas-fired power demand will remain strong until early 2015 Natural gas demand in Asia, 1990 2017 Natural gas consumption has grown by more than 250% since 1990 until 2010. Japanese consumption represented the mainstay of Asian natural gas demand, especially in LNG, until 2010, when China surpassed Japan as the largest natural gas market in Asia. Overall demand in the Asia Pacific region is expected to follow global demand trends, growing at around 3% per annum to reach 875 bcm in 2017. Note: Other Asia Pacific in this graph consists of: Brunei Darussalam, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, New Zealand, Korea, the Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and other. Source: IEA Page 15

Regasification terminals are crucial for the LNG infrastructure, not only for the access, but also as suppliers of downstream flexibility. Regasification operational, under construction and planned in Asia Pacific, 2000 17 The yearly capacity utilization in Asia Pacific is estimated to have been 34% in 2000, slowly rising to around 50% in 2011 and projected to stabilize around this level as new and planned capacity comes on stream. Source: IEA databases; various company websites Page 19

Singapore could become a LNG hub With moderately growing demand, increasing infrastructure capacity and supply secured from various sources, Singapore s natural gas market can increasingly be considered a mature market located in the centre of a fast growing demand region. Note: + = currently contributing towards a competitive natural gas market; = currently not contributing towards a competitive natural gas market; +/ = currently unclear. To develop a Singaporean natural gas trading hub and increase confidence among market parties will likely require the regulator to revise current import limitations on PNG. It is crucial that these issues be resolved in a timely manner in order to allow for a reliable pricing signal to develop in this market. Singapore has certainly positioned itself (both through geography and infrastructure) to expand the effect of a Singaporean natural gas price beyond its borders. Page 20

The impact of government policies on market structure The rigidity of the LNG supply chain has traditionally provided considerable impetus to governments to secure long term security of supply through state owned natural gas companies. These organizations can match supply and demand for LNG through the vertical integration of their activities along the value chain. Regasification terminals are generally developed to accommodate long term supply contracts concluded by state owned enterprises and, without unbiased third party access, further limit LNG supply flexibility to consumers. The natural gas market structure in most Asian economies limits competition as a result of strong national organizations, which are generally regulated monopolies. Objective: to maximize revenues on their long term, oil indexed LNG contracts in their respective home markets. Nearly 79% of the terminals in operation, under construction or planned until 2017 are owned and operated by vertically integrated, government owned entities. Page 21

Development of Natural gas and shale gas in China The NOCs lead the natural gas development of China. Similar to oil E&P, these companies partner with international companies to develop projects requiring more technical expertise. The shifting landscape of China's natural gas supply sources towards greater imports and the need to bolster investment were sufficient grounds for China open its first natural gas spot trading market in July 2012 as part of its gas price liberalization. Shale Gas China held its first shale gas licensing round in 2011 in the Sichuan Basin and awarded the tenders to two Chinese companies (Sinopec and Henan Coal). Tendering is available not only to NOCs but also to private and local companies, and foreign investors may participate indirectly if they hold a PSC contract with a participating Chinese firm.

Russian natural gas market Page 23

Russia holds the largest natural gas reserves in the world, and is the second-largest producer of dry natural gas Russia's reserves account a quarter of the world's total proven reserves. The majority of these reserves are located in Siberia, with the Yamburg, Urengoy, and Medvezh'ye fields alone accounting for more than 40% of Russia's total reserves, while other significant deposits are located in northern Russia Page 24

The impact of government policies on market structure The state-run Gazprom dominates Russia's upstream, producing about 74% of Russia's total natural gas output. Gazprom's position is further cemented by its legal monopoly on Russian gas exports, although its monopoly on gas exports may be ending soon. Russia's government has announced that it intends to liberalize liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, breaking Gazprom's absolute export monopoly. Russia's natural gas production 2012 Company Bcf/d Gazprom 47.1 Rosneft 1.2 LUKoil 1.6 Surgutneftegaz 1.2 TNK-BP 1.3 Others 1.6 ITERA 1.2 Novatek 5.5 PSA operators 2.6 Total 63.4 Independent gas producers such as Novatek have been increasing their production rates, with non- Gazprom sources expected to increase further in the future. Higher production rates have resulted from a growing number of companies entering the sector, including oil companies looking to develop their gas reserves. Source: Eastern Bloc Energy Page 25

Europe is the principal Russian Natural gas exports Russia sends about 76% of its natural gas exports to customers in Western Europe, with Germany, Turkey, Italy, France, and the United Kingdom receiving the bulk of these volumes. Smaller volumes of natural gas are also shipped via the Gazprom pipeline network to Austria, Finland, and Greece. Page 26

Ukraine, the strategic entrance for the Russian Natural Gas to Europe Five pipelines have a combined capacity of nearly 6 Tcf (trillion cubic feet) per day to Europe. The Yamal-Europe I, Northern Lights, Soyuz, Bratstvo, and Nord Stream pipelines all carry Russian gas to Eastern and Western European markets via Ukraine, Belarus, and across the Baltic Sea. Page 27

Social problems in Ukraine impact in the Natural Gas supply from Russia. Energy in Ukraine depends on the Russia Natural Gas Russia Ukraine relations were established in 1991 immediately upon the dissolution of the Soviet Union of which both were founding constituent republics Ukraine is divided, the population of the east, near the Russian border, is influenced by Russian culture, and tends to be pro-moscow. On the other hand, the population of central and western region original from Ukraine, wants to join the European Union. In June 2014, Ukraine signed a free trade and political cooperation agreement with the European Union Russia, which fears losing power and influence over Ukraine, issued a warning advising that the country of the former Soviet republic could suffer consequences for that decision. Ukraine restructured the military force of the country. Page 28

Social problems in Ukraine impact in the Natural Gas supply from Russia (continue ) Some months ago, Russia cut off supplies of natural gas to Ukraine after a pro-western government have ascended to power. The Europe Union needs to import more than a half of the energy needed and 40% of these imports are from Russia. This measure has increased concerns about supply for Europe, since most of the Russian natural gas stream passes through Ukraine "There is a high risk that the gas supplied by Gazprom to Europe, is illegally used by Ukraine for own use" (Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak). The dispute in prices has led to an accumulation of debt in the amount of 5.3 billion dollars. Moscow already has a history of using the price of gas as a political weapon by turning off the gas supply to Ukraine twice in the past decade, causing interruptions in gas supplies to Europe in 2006 and 2008. Page 29

GNL in Europe, a new perspective for the European Union countries. The EU (Europe Union) LNG regasification capacity has more than doubled in the past five years. In 2012 LNG net imports were 631.3 TWh (terawatt hour), a 28% less than 2011 The 19 LNG terminals in the EU in 2012 provided a total nominal regasification capacity of 191 bcm (or about 2063 TWh) per year of gas LNG Supplies in Europe, 2012 (631.3 TWh) Freighters from Qatar and Algeria bring LNG to Europe via ports, but European buyers usually resell these shipments abroad for higher prices, instead of supplying its domestic market. The EU Commission is considering banning this practice to strengthen reserves. The EU regulation number 994/2010, passed in 2010 to protect the offers gas, which may include banning gas companies sell LNG shipments outside Europe by keeping more gas in the reserves, and order the industry to stop using gas..

Russia seeking for new frontiers for the Natural gas exports Considering the political and geographic troubles between Russia and Europe, new frontiers like China are analyzed as an alternative China and Russia have a long history of relations with signed agreements. Among the agreements signed, the most important relates to energy planning, in which the Russian giant Gazprom would seal a partnership with CNPC (China National Petroleum Corporation). The agreements signed would allow China to build pipelines that would link Russia (Russia's Far East to western China). Source: IBP- OS ACORDOS DE GÁS NATURAL ENTRE RÚSSIA E CHINA: ESTRATÉGIA POLÍTICA E ECONÔMICA Page 31

Russia seeking for new frontiers for the Natural gas exports (continue ) In March 2013, representatives of both countries agreeing to a $400 billion deal to deliver Russian natural gas in China through pipelines east. Supply around 38 bcm of gas per year to the Chinese territory The memorandum signed by CNPC and Gazprom determined by the duration of 30 years, beginning in 2018, with the option to expand the volumes up to 60 bcm China has one of the largest shale gas reserves in the world. However, in the short term this option would not be feasible due to the lack of technology for this type of exploration. The major obstacle that Russia and China encountered on past attempts to make it to the altar was price. Outside analysts are saying that the price agreed is close to what the Chinese have paid for gas from Turkmenistan last year.

Middle East natural gas market Page 33

Middle East had the highest growth in natural gas production in the last decade. Middle East gas production is set for growth, as the region looks to alternative domestic energy sources to release lucrative oil production for export. Middle East increased the Natural Gas production in 7.5% by year pushed by Qatar production.

Middle East Gas Rises, but the consumption does too Countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE are targeting increased gas output as feedstock for power generation. Saudi Aramco recently accelerated its shale gas development plans and announced that a record number of rigs will be deployed to target gas. Qatar spent many years developing its natural gas resources particularly in the North Field and in 2012, Qatar was the second-largest dry natural gas producer in the Middle East and the fourth-largest producer in the world. 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Source: BP Statistical Review 2014 Gas Consumption, Bcm Gas Production, Bcm Page 35

The most reserves of Natural Gas in Iraq are associated with oil In January 2013, Iraq's proven natural gas reserves were the 12th largest in the world (3.6 Tcm). Over 60 percent of these reserves lie in the south of Iraq. Three-fourths of Iraq's natural gas resources are associated with oil. The majority of non-associated reserves are concentrated in several fields in the North. Source: EIA Page 37

The majority of Iraqi natural gas production is flared Some of the natural gas is used as fuel for power generation, while a portion of it is re-injected to enhance oil recovery. However, the majority of Iraqi natural gas production is flared. Flaring losses in some months have exceeded 60 percent of production, due to a lack of sufficient pipelines and other infrastructure to transport it for consumption and export. As a result, Iraq's five natural gas processing plants, which can process over 21.6 Bcm per year, sit mostly idle. Iraq is taking steps to reduce flaring and to use its natural gas resources in power generation and for re-injection to increase oil recovery. To reduce flaring, Iraq signed an agreement with Royal Dutch Shell to create a new joint venture, Basrah Gas Company, to capture flared gas in Basrah Province. The 25-year project costing $17 billion has a planned production capacity of up to 56 Mcm per day. Under the agreement, processed gas would go to the state-owned South Gas company for domestic use. Any gas not bought for use by Iraqi power plants could be exported as LNG. Source: EIA Page 38
