Former Climate & Energy Minister Martin Lidegaard on the Danish Energy Policy Oil Gas Summit, Oil and Gas Denmark, Copenhagen, Denmark, September 10, 2013... In Denmark we have broad political backing for using the Danish resources of oil and gas to the largest possible extent. Denmark is an oil and gas producing country and we will use that to benefit the Danish society and the green transition we have begun. we will make a strategy for oil and gas. It is still too early to say anything about the content of the strategy, but I can elaborate on my thoughts at the moment. Infrastructure; we need to look at the old facilities with increasing maintenance in a time of decreasing production. We have to look at energy efficiency. We need to make sure that we focus on technology development to increase the recovery factor of oil and gas. 28 May 2014 Offshore Forum 12

Feasibility Study Compression of DUC gas at Egtved Energinet.dk s approach to the project: maximise the Danish North Sea production increase the overall infrastructure energy efficiency reduce overall compressor emissions maintain capacity, the current high level of security of supply and on-spec gas quality in the transmission system 28 May 2014 Offshore Forum 14
Feasibility Study Compression of DUC gas at Egtved When MOG/DUC approached Energinet.dk had 2 options: Calling everybody for a common feasibility study Making a focused study and share it today We look forward to discussing the study with you! 28 May 2014 Offshore Forum 15
DUC - DONG - ENDK Offshore Basis
Mærsk Oil & Gas perspective Normal export pressure @ Tyra is 100-110 barg. Lower export pressure => lower Tyra compression power Can Egtved compression enable lower Tyra export pressure? Lower export pressure reduce offshore compression power Low pressure gas transport to shore is less efficient Overall infrastructure energy efficiency will be a balance of the above 30 July 2015 #17
Feasibility perspective DUC/MOG is evaluating feasibility of: reducing the required pressure ab Tyra and ab Nybro In Q4 2013 MOG has contacted Energinet.dk with an inquiry: can gas from the North Sea be compressed at Energinet.dk s new compressor station in Egtved? Focus: possibility to save energy with current configuration possibility to optimise possible future compressor configurations Dato - Dok.nr. 18

Relevant interfaces/boundary conditions Existing Nybro HC dew point process in Nybro is a HCFC (Freon) driven chilling system commercial use of HCFC is banned from 2015 DONG is currently investigating a suitable replacement Energinet.DK has recently constructed a compressor station in Egtved The Hejre project includes construction of a processing plant in Fredericia, for extraction and fractionation of NGL s from Hejre crude petroleum DUC/MOG is considering future compressor configurations offshore Tyra page 21
Offshore Forum Nybro infrastructure challenges and possibilities 28 May 2014 Peter Schroll Christiansen
Nybro infrastructure challenges and possibilities Danish Upstream Transportation System Harald South-Arne Tyra East Nybro Aerial view of Nybro 23
Nybro infrastructure challenges and possibilities Current Nybro facts 2 gas receiving terminals: Tyra terminal receiving all gas from DUC-fields, Trym-field and Lulita-field South Arne terminal receiving all gas from South Arne field and from 2015/16 also Hejre-field. Tyra terminal: Build in 1982-1984 Current Nybro facts Primary function: Meter and regulator station for up to 25 mcm/day of onspecification gas. Secondary function: back-up to offshore gas treatment with a capacity of ~11 mcm/day of off-specification gas wrt: H2S removal HC dew point adjustment Water dew point adjustment South Arne terminal: Build in 1998-1999 Primary function: Meter and regulator station for up to ~6,5 mcm/day of onspecification gas No separate gas treatment capability 24
Nybro infrastructure challenges and possibilities Current Nybro facts Nybro constraints Nybro additional capabilities: Normal operational mode: Blending of gas from the 2 terminals to mitigate transient off-specification gas situations at one of the terminals. Danish Emergency Situation: Possibility of importing and treating gas from Harald platform in a situation with outtage of the Tyra to Nybro offshore pipeline. Environmental impact: H2S removal emits SO2 to atmosphere HC dew point adjustment cause flaring of NGL's Hence: Authorities have imposed restrictions on the usage of Nybro gas treatment facilities. 25

Nybro infrastructure challenges and possibilities Nybro possibilities (stand alone) Nybro / Tyra possibilities How can Nybro stay efficient (low Opex/CF) and competitive (low Opex/boe)? Answers: 1. Decommission parts of Nybro to lower Opex (and CF) and/or 2. Attract new volumes to Nybro in competition with Norwegian/Dutch/UK alternatives in order to increase throughput (boe) How can Nybro and Tyra together stay efficient (low Opex/CF) and competitive (low Opex/boe)? Answers: 1. By moving processes from the Tyra platform to onshore Nybro, opex can be lowered without increasing CF 2. Attract new volumes via Tyra to Nybro in competition with Norwegian/ Dutch/UK alternatives in order to increase throughput (boe) ad 1) has not so far been successful due to contractual obligations ad 2) has been (partly) successful by attracting Norwegian Trym-field and Danish Hejre-field. Danish Solsortfield is under evaluation ad 1) currently being looked at by Mærsk and DONG. ad 2) has been (partly) successful by attracting Norwegian Trym-field. Danish Solsort-field is under evaluation 27

Operation of the compressor station We have built a compressor station at the crossing of the Danish natural gas transmission system We can raise the pressure from approx. 45 bar to approx. 80 bar depending on the duty point Suction can be made from one or more of 4 separate subsystems in the transmission system and supplied to a joint pool The compressor station must have incorporated redundans in all subsystems so that we always can proceed if something fails + + Dato - Dok.nr. 34
