KPC ERM Corporate Risk Management Department formed in 2002; essentially an insurance buyer of standard energy policies; Defined an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Strategy in 2005 based upon the principles of COSO and the AZ/NZS 4360: 2004 Risk Management Guidelines; Implemented first phase of strategy through 2006 and 2007 with following features:- ERM Policy created; Subsidiaries implemented policy at subordinate level ERM Framework and procedures introduced; Semi qualitative risk matrix and risk register developed; Integrated processes adapted and deployed; Early risk quantification of some key risks; Resource growth and capability building; ERM Information System from Avanon introduced; Insurance programs continue to be adapted; In 2009 our ERM maturity was deemed to be comprehensive. ERM 2030 Strategy developed in 2010 with implementation beginning September 2011, aims at placing KPC ERM at the Strategic Maturity level.

ERM Policy KPC ERM Process Framework Establish the Context Establish the external, internal, and risk management context in which the rest of the process will take place. Criteria against which risk will be evaluated should be established and the structure of the analysis defined. Identify Risks Identify what, why, and how things can arise as the basis for further analysis. Analyze Risks Determine the existing controls and analyze risks in terms of consequence and likelihood in the context of those controls. Consequence and likelihood may be combined to produce an estimated level of risk. Integrate Risks Aggregate multiple risk types, reflecting correlations and portfolio effects. Evaluate Risks Compare estimated levels of risk against the pre-established to determine rankings and priorities. Treat Risks Identify risk treatment options, perform a cost-benefit analysis to determine the optimal risk treatment strategy, and develop risk treatment plans. Communicate & Consult Assess Risks Monitor & Review Establish the Context Identify Risks Analyze Risks Integrate Risks Evaluate Risks Treat Risks Monitor and review the risk management process and supporting infrastructure. Communicate & Consult Communicate and consult with internal and external stakeholders as appropriate at each stage of the risk management process and concerning the process as a whole.

KPC ERM Objectives: Three key objectives of KPC s risk Achieve high certainty that the oil sector will meet the expectations of the State Ensure the availability of adequate funding to support oil sector capital expenditure Enable the oil sector to make a more fact-based and quantitative assessment of risk vs. return trade-offs in its activities and projects SOURCE: Team analysis 5

Risk Modeling 9
Three quantitative tools were developed to answers the key questions for decision makers What is the chance of meeting Five Year Plan the baseline cash flow? Five Year Planning (CFaR) What are the top risks on the company s portfolio? How much funding will the company require to service all its obligations with a high degree of confidence? Will the company be able to repay its debt commitments? Capital Investment and Appraisal (RAROC) Strategic Direction and Planning Process What is the probability of the project to break-even? What are the top-risks for the project? What is the best strategic option based on risk return profile? 10

Risk Modeling Strategic Projects 16
Old project appraisal approach with a probabilistic risk view From deterministic to probabilistic Frequency of occurrence in simulation 1 High case 2 Base Case 3 Low case 3 2 1 Future value Discrete scenarios with no associated understanding of probability of occurrence Scenarios based on intuitive assessment bias likely in selection Fat tail risks often ignored Fact based assessment of full range of outcomes with associated probabilities Removes bias towards most likely scenario Quantify potential downsides and upsides at appropriate probability 17
