Investments are being reduced and this will affect production 2-3 years ahead resulting in a steeper increase in crude prices High cost production will be needed in order to meet global demand growth Crude prices to increase above $100/bbl by

44 Conclusions Many governments will wait a little longer to see what happens to the oil price More favourable terms for producing assets will be rare Tax-dependent governments may trade higher share of revenue at lower prices for a lower share under higher prices Fiscal terms for new licences especially challenging projects will improve Emphasis should be on reducing regressive terms and high marginal tax rates Sovereignty vs stability (concession vs PSC) debate very much alive 44

59 Conclusions We are now in a period of LNG over-supply. Asian LNG demand growth is disappointing which will lead to an increase in LNG supply into the European market. The devaluation of the rouble and a lower outlook for US gas prices signify a structural shift downward in the global gas cost curve Lower cost, smaller LNG projects are better positioned to compete in this environment Buyer fragmentation is strengthening the hand of LNG portfolio players 59
