1 Risk Management Commodities Trading Physical Logistics Regulatory Compliance Business Intelligence We require state-of-the-art technology to support our expanding business and our entry into refined products trading... Allegro s approach to software deployment aligns perfectly with our priorities as we rapidly launch our trading desk later this year. The Allegro system also provides the operational control, trading efficiencies, and the analytical tools we need to optimize our decision making. -- Said A. Al-Hadrami Chief Executive Officer Aramco Trading Allegro for Petroleum Maximizing Opportunity in a Dynamic Marketplace While speculation stirs over whether the price of oil has finally hit rock bottom, there is no question that cheap oil is playing out globally in a drama that will affect every player in the liquid hydrocarbons market. Crude oil prices have plunged roughly by half since mid-2014, signaling hard times for producers and governments, while the general public experiences relief at the pump. The boom in US production, along with increased output in Russia and the recent rise of Africa as a growing supplier, has created a surplus of crude oil, along with a surplus of opportunities and concerns for companies trading in energy commodities worldwide. However, at the same time as a surplus of low-priced crude has flooded the market, the global demand for refined fuel products is expected to continue to grow, spurring a continued increase in the production of various fuel products. The net result is that, despite the cooling off of rapid growth in exploration and related production, the underlying elements of the petroleum liquids lifecycle continues to be robust, as the demand for fuels continues to necessitate the continued growth of production and refining. An additional effect of the rapid production growth and subsequent large increases of crude supply in record numbers has been a scramble to manage those inflated inventories, especially with respect to a company s ability to know where and how much crude they hold. Ultimately, demand for refined products is increasing, and in times of low crude prices and excessive inventories, refiners stand to make gains by operating at a lower cost of business. The smart downstream players are focused on driving capital and operating efficiency to preserve their margins and maintain the reinvestment rates necessary to grow production of their refined products.
2 Consider the following: FACT: Cheap oil has strengthened the US dollar, affecting other nations that price oil and refined products based on the USD. Managing a Nation s Strategic Petroleum Reserve When the DM Petroleum Operations Company (DM), who provides management and operating services to the U.S. Department of Energy for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, needed to replace its manual trading and inventory tracking processes with a more integrated and automated system, they chose Allegro. The scale of the SPR required a secure, flexible software platform capable of providing realtime views of complex petroleum inventory movements. DM also needed software that offers specialized functionality to adapt to a unique set of processes and regulations. DM selected Allegro to deploy a comprehensive crude oil inventory tracking and valuation system to meet its needs. With a single platform, DM users have the ability to view and analyze key inventory data from all points across the complex operations. The Allegro solution allows DM to reduce manual processes and redundant data entry associated with multiple storage locations, and to eliminate errors with a single point of entry and consistent real-time metrics for all users. The SPR s massive inventory volumes and complex storage network demands visibility into current inventory, internal movements, and external drawdowns, when required. Allegro provides the transparency to optimize decision making and maintain drawdown (or crude oil release) readiness for the U.S. Department of Energy. TAKEAWAY: The strength of the USD is making oil and refined products more expensive for buyers who use other currencies, creating a competitive opening for companies that employ smart hedging strategies. FACT: Even with a slowing of rapid production growth, the EIA forecasts that both refined fuels consumption, and the associated production of refined products will continue to grow through 2015 and beyond. TAKEAWAY: Regardless of price volatility, the growth of crude production, refining and all the associated trading and logistics will continue to be significant. FACT: Even as Saudi Aramco and OPEC aggressively maintain their production levels, depressed oil prices have put a damper on oil exporting and global energy production. New oil projects are being put on hold. Many companies are delaying capital expenditures. TAKEAWAY: With low spot and high future delivery prices, a potential market opportunity exists to employ a store and sell later approach. Companies that have full visibility into their positions will be able to leverage this tactic and reduce market risk. FACT: The fall in prices is effectively redistributing income from net-exporting countries to net-importers, generally giving rise to economies in Japan, China, India and across Europe. TAKEAWAY: Energy-related businesses operating in these areas of the world stand to gain from a blend and extend strategy, taking advantage of low prices by extending futures contracts based on a more focused portfolio analysis. FACT: With low oil prices come low transportation and manufacturing costs. Companies that sell products and services stand to gain, but so do refiners, who can expand margins by shrewdly managing their assets and logistics. TAKEAWAY: Depending on your relationship to the price of oil, improved visibility into the movement of assets across your energy supply chain can greatly impact the profitability of your operations. FACT: Energy self-sufficiency vs. import-dependence is affecting geopolitical relationships worldwide. Energy is more than an economic commodity; it is a strategic one. TAKEAWAY: As governments trade oil for security, geopolitical changes affect P&Ls. Energy companies trading in global commodities must therefore keep a tight rein on profits and losses, in order to effectively execute their business strategies.
3 Meeting the Challenges Head On What s Keeping You Up At Night? Am I profitable? Am I accurately managing my P&L? What are my positions? Do I have visibility into trade data and pricing? How do I effectively manage exposure to market, price and operational risks? How can I best manage my inventory, especially in terms of complex logistics management? We have found in the Allegro Platform an innovative, sophisticated and adaptable system to meet our needs in the Trading Market. Operational agility is a top priority for CEPSA Trading and key to sustaining competitive advantage. We are convinced that Allegro s technological innovation will help us to achieve our business goals. -- Charo Cepero Finance, Risk & Operations Manager CEPSA Trading With massive transformation in hydrocarbon markets worldwide, price volatility will continue to dominate market concerns. Energy companies must therefore reduce cost and exposure wherever they can, which generally means improving visibility and control across the full position lifecycle. Clearly, spreadsheets and manual processes will not be up to the task. It will take powerful software to support timely and informed decision-making, particularly in the areas of logistics, accounting, portfolio management and risk abatement. Companies that can find a cheaper way to get product from source to market will reap a competitive advantage. This means scheduling the best route or carrier for the job, considering all options, which requires transportation-specific tools to help visualize movement capture and actualization of assets. As product moves through the cycle, managers must then be able to accurately track and capture costs incurred (and payments due) for services along the way. Event-based fees, gathering fees, pipeline tariffs, trucking and handling costs, quality fees, storage, detention and demurrage costs in multiple currencies all affect the floating price producers pay to get their assets from point A to point B. What s more, effectively tracking these costs is essential to achieving accurate netback and profit and loss calculations. The complexity of data involved in managing these processes cannot be overstated. As pricing, qualities, delivery terms, position constraints and other factors weigh into the equation, the ability to manage positions becomes most challenging. The need for a comprehensive position reporting engine, capable of accurately valuing and disaggregating complex transactions and assets within a portfolio, is essential to success. Only as managers gain insight into positions, with accurate profit and loss reports spanning various timeframes, can they implement and monitor position limits effectively in such a fluid environment. Certainly, the key to real-time position reports is having an accurate, real-time view of the enterprise, so that timely, profitable decisions can be made. As changes in logistics occur, integrity of information across all parties, including buyers, sellers, traders, producers, shippers, regulatory bodies and other business partners is essential. In fact, it could be stated that the only way to manage exposure and minimize risk in such a rapidly changing and unpredictable marketplace is to deploy a reliable, end-to-end, single source solution one that provides a single version of truth. Given the state of the industry and the opportunities and risks at stake, no successful trader will be able to survive without a proven commodity trading and risk management (CTRM) solution offering real-time intelligence and decision-making support.

5 Secure the Future with Allegro for Petroleum No one knows exactly where oil prices are headed, but wherever you stand in the grand scheme, stand strong with Allegro.

Managing one of the largest proven reserves of conventional crude oil, Saudi Aramco also owns and operates an extensive network of refining and distribution facilities, and one of the world s largest fleets of supertankers. In order to optimize its growing global refinery business, Saudi Aramco created Saudi Aramco Product Trading Company (Aramco Trading) to buy and sell refined products. To meet that goal, Aramco Trading required enterprise software to manage its refined products trading, logistics, reporting, and compliance functions. Allegro provided Aramco Trading an integrated solution for front-to-back office trading and operations, which included: Enterprise risk management across the commodity and asset portfolio, including advanced reporting, monitoring and analytics.

7 Managing Growth and Complexity When Ecopetrol, Colombia s largest integrated oil company, began experiencing a significant increase in number of physical trades along with logistics operations that were simultaneously growing in volume and complexity, they turned to Allegro. The growing complexity of the business processes around trade capture and operations planning and management were demanding more time and effort from Ecopetrol s International Trading department, reducing the time available for higher value added tasks such as market analysis, opportunity identification and deal negotiation. Regulatory Compliance: The extreme complexity of energy organizations, markets, transactions, contracts and accounting rules generate special challenges in complying with the regulatory ambiguities of such legislation as Sarbanes-Oxley, Hedge Accounting, Dodd-Frank, EMIT, REMIR, FERC Reporting and others. Without accurate internal audits and proper governance, companies involved in the commodities business can be exposed to significant risk. The key is to embed compliance into every business process across the organization, quickly and cost-effectively. Allegro s comprehensive compliance solutions accomplish this by integrating all business processes into a single platform, eliminating the need for off-system solutions, while enabling the ongoing implementation of intelligent hedging strategies. Automated report preparation for reduced compliance cost and improved efficiency Complete audit trail from wellhead to point-of-sale Fully compliant with Sarbanes-Oxley, Dodd-Frank, EMIT, REMIR, etc. Controls Integrated support of policy controls leading to immediate event notification for better risk management improved transparency Improved team management with pre-defined limits for trade types and other attributes Messaging and alerts for trades outside of limits Improved handling of all types of transactions, including 3rd party inventory for more holistic inventory management The Opportunity Is Now The business of producing, trading, supplying, refining and marketing hydrocarbon commodities is as much an art form as it is a science. Allegro for Petroleum effectively combines the best of both, making it is possible to secure a competitive advantage in today s extremely challenging and ever-evolving marketplace. Reduce risk, improve margins, control cost and create efficiency across the supply chain.
