Total eyes new blocks offshore the Sultanate
(OEPPA Business Development Dept) + NewBase
Energy major Total has pledged to deploy cutting-edge technology solutions to unlock the
hydrocarbon potential of Block 41 offshore Oman's northeastern coast, according to a high-
ranking executive of the French oil and gas group.
François Bichon, CLOV Project Director -- Total E&P Angola, also voiced the energy giant's
keenness to build on its well-established association with the Sultanate's energy sector by
acquiring new offshore acreage. "Since 1937, Total has been a long-standing partner of Oman in
the development of its oil and gas industry. We are now actively looking for additional blocks
where we could apply our expertise and contribute to increasing the reserves and then the
subsequent production in Oman," he stated in exclusive comments to the Observer.
Bichon is due in Muscat this week to showcase Total's ground-breaking CLOV project in Angola at
the 'Offshore Development Oman' set to be held at Al Bustan Palace -- A Ritz Carlton Hotel during
December 9-10, 2014. Organised by well-known event management firm Global Exhibitions and
Conferences LLC (GEC) in collaboration with the Ministry of Oil and Gas, the two-day conference
will spotlight offshore opportunities in the Sultanate.
Last December, the group's local subsidiary Total Exploration and Production Oman Petroleum
BV, signed an Exploration & Production Sharing Agreement (EPSA) with the Omani government
for offshore Block 41. Located northwest of Muscat, the concession covers a large unexplored
area of almost 24,000 square kilometres in water depths ranging from 30 to more than 3,000
metres.
According to Bichon, the company has since made headway in the acquisition of new data from
the ultra-deep waters of this block. "The first steps mainly involved acquiring additional data, to
complement existing data, aimed at derisking the drilling of the well. Seabed coring was carried
out and shallow subsurface geological samples were collected using a weighted corer lowered
from the side of a special-purpose vessel. Geochemical studies were carried out on these cores to
assess the area's potential," he explained.
Given the challenges posed by these water depths, Total's significant experience around the world
in implementing cutting-edge technology solutions without compromising risk management will be
a key factor in the exploration and development of Block 41, he noted.

"In short, Total has the necessary knowledge, experience and expertise to overcome these
technological challenges -- just as it did in offshore Angola. That is why, in 2015, Total's deep
offshore production will represent as much as 10 per cent of all deep-water production in the
world, with around 400 subsea wells."
The principal target set by Total as part of the initial activities targeting Block 41 was to de-risk the
drilling of the well in the block within one year, with seabed coring being the main work carried out
offshore.
This was undertaken with the utmost care and attention in order to take full account of the
extremely delicate ecosystem found in coastal waters around Muscat, said Bichon. In the
Sultanate, Total is a 4 per cent shareholder in Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) from whose
Block 6 concession is produced much of the country's oil and gas output. The Group also has a
5.54 per cent stake in Oman LNG and a 2.04 per cent stake in Qalhat LNG.

Qatar well-positioned to face renewable energy challenges: QSTec chief
Gulf Times Correspondent
Dr Khalid K al-Hajri, chairman & CEO, Qatar Solar Technologies (QSTec), addressed the GCC-
British Economic Forum on the issue of ‘The Emergence of
Sustainable Energy’. He spoke to Gulf Times at the event on how the
shift to renewables can best be managed.
He observed: “In order to make the shift to renewables you have to be
careful and calculate all the risks associated with it. Each industry has
its own challenges; for example, renewables, and the mature
industries. We cannot continue using conventional ways and not think
about the renewables part which we know will impact positively,
helping to resolve the problems of climate change.”
He predicted: “By between 2030 and 2050 we should see around 60%
of renewables replacing conventional energy sources.”
Asked about the fall in oil prices and the impact on Qatar, he said: “I
am sure that the people in Qatar with responsibility for that area know
how to handle that kind of challenge. If we are talking about changing
oil prices — well, welcome to the reality of supply of demand.
“But LNG always goes with long term contracts that have secured good prices. So I don’t see that
challenge in the same way that others see it. I think that Qatar is in a position to overcome those
kind of challenges.”
With regard to relations between the GCC countries, he commented: “We are delighted to see the
recent developments between the countries of the GCC and how the future will look. We are six
countries but we are one family.”
He also highlighted the strong ties with the UK. “We have a great relationship with the UK. As the
secretary-general of the GCC said, ‘We consider London as our second home’.”

UK: Cluff Natural Resources formally awarded five licences in the
UK's 28th Offshore Licensing Round. Source: Cluff Natural Resources
Cluff Natural Resources, the AIM quoted natural resources investing company, has announced
that further to the provisional award of promote licences in theUK's 28th Offshore Licencing
Round on 7 November 2014, it has now been formally awarded the five promote licences
covering a total of eleven blocks by the Department of Energy and Climate Change ('DECC').
The specific licences and blocks awarded, all wholly owned by CLNR, are as follows:
The selected blocks are located in an under-explored, emerging gas province of the Southern
North Sea, with diverse, high-potential play fairways and trap types in the Carboniferous.
Significant interest in the area has recently been rejuvenated by breakthroughs in broadband 3-D
seismic surveying technology, which acquires high resolution images below the Permian
overburden.
Notable developments in the wider area include the completion of a multi-client 3-D survey
(covering CLNR block 42/1 and part of CLNR blocks 41/5 and 41/10), the Pegasus West Gas
Discovery (operated by Centrica, which flowed approximately 90MMscf/day on test from
Namurian reservoirs), first gas production from the Breagh Field (operated by RWE Dea,
estimated to contain nearly 600bcf of recoverable gas reserves) in October 2013 and on-going
development of the Cygnus Gas Field (operated by GDF Suez) where first gas production is due
in 2015.
All of CLNR's newly awarded blocks are located in relatively shallow water where new
conventional gas discoveries can be developed quickly and regional infrastructure is evolving
rapidly.
The five licences are awarded on a 'Promote' basis and accordingly have nominal work
programmes of obtaining and reprocessing 2-D seismic data, as well as a 90% reduction in
annual rentals during the initial two year period. Firm drilling commitments are not required until
the end of the second year of the Licences in December 2016, by which time a full geological
evaluation and resource assessment will have been completed.
Algy Cluff, Chairman and Chief Executive of CLNR, commented: 'I am delighted to report that
DECC has formally awarded our company these new gas licences in this emerging area of the
Southern North Sea. CLNR already has a portfolio of eight offshore Underground Coal
Gasification Licences totalling 613 kmÂČ in the UK and securing eleven North Sea gas blocks over
2,418 kmÂČ is a major achievement for the Company.

'This award further establishes our position as a natural resources investment company and
underlines our commitment to the UK and to the North Sea where we see significant upside
potential for shareholders. CLNR has a strong interest in delivering conventional gas to the UK
as well as a determination to safely and cleanly convert offshore coal to gas using UCG
technology.'

Horizon Oil has advised that the Nama-1exploration well in PPL 259, Western Province, Papua
New Guinea, spudded at 1000 hrs local time on 4 December 2014. The current operation is
running in the 18 5/8" casing following drilling of the 24” conductor hole. The well is being drilled
by Horizon Oil with Parker Rig 226 and is anticipated to take about 36 days to drill to a planned
total depth of 3,434m.
Nama-1 is located 20 km due east of the Stanley Development, in which all wells found
condensate- rich gas in the Late Jurassic Kimu and Early Cretaceous Toro Sandstones. If
successful, the Nama prospect has the potential to be about the same size as the Stanley field
(certified at 399 bcf of gas and 13 mmbbl condensate).

UK: Ineos bets $1 billion upstream in UK shale gas
Introducing itself as “THE WORD FOR CHEMICALS”, the Swiss-based company Ineos is
maneuvering a strategic breakthrough in planning $1 billion capital expenditure in UK shale gas to
feed its petrochemical complex in Grangemouth, Scotland.
Acquired from BP willing to focus on upstream activities, the Ineos Grangemouth refining
and petrochemical complex occupies a sensitive position as it supplies 70% of the transportation
fuels consumed in Scotland.
Fighting for survival among the European refining
over-capacities, this Ineos Grangemouth complex is
now facing the competition from the North American
petrochemical industry taking advantage of the shale
gas lower prices compared with North Sea
conventional gas. With operations on both sides
of Atlantic, Ineos intents to remain a global player and
preserve its European footprint.
In this context, Ineos and Unite union managed to
find a deal to align Grangemouth on US labor costs.
Ineos also decided to invest in a liquefied natural gas
(LNG) import terminal to secure competitive
feedstock from US. After completing ethylene
expansion in Chocolate Bayou in Texas, USA, Ineos
is working on the next step to boost its
Grangemouth refining and petrochemical complex
with the opportunity to develop the shale
gas in UK since this country is willing to take the lead
in Europe in the exploration of this unconventional
resources in the same way that UK has become a
global leader in deep offshore technologies from
its North Sea fortune.
While announcing its intention to invest $1 billion in shale gas fields development, Ineos
submitted additional applications to the UK Department of Energy & Climate Change (DOE) for
new licences.
From the analysis performed by the British Geological Survey, the Midland Valley in Scotland may
hold 80 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas and 6 billion barrels of oil, but there is still uncertainty about
the percentage of recoverable reserves from these unconventional resources.
After recruiting shale gas experts from the US, Ineos started to acquired licenses in different
blocks proposed by the UK Government. In August 2014, Ineos took 51% of the 127 square
mile Petroleum Exploration and Development Licenses (PEDL) 133 including Grangemouth,
Falkirk and Stirling areas. In October 2014, Ineos bought 80% of the 154 square mile PEDL
162 adjacent to the Block 133 on ots east side. Proposing significant incentive to the local
inhabitants, Ineos is willing to share profits in order to speed up the development of
these unconventional resources for which it is planning to drill hundreds wells over the next
five to six years. Due to start first shale gas exploratory operations in 2015, Ineos is then
preparing additional investment for thegas treatment and production in the UK by 2020.

US:oil reserves rising, surpass 36 billion barrels for first time since 1975
Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, U.S. Crude Oil and Natural Gas Proved Reserves
U.S. crude oil and lease condensate proved reserves rose for the fifth consecutive year in 2013,
increasing by 9% from the 2012 level to 36.5 billion barrels, according to the U.S. Crude Oil and
Natural Gas Proved Reserves, 2013report released yesterday by the U.S. Energy Information
Administration (EIA). U.S. crude oil and lease condensate proved reserves surpassed 36 billion
barrels for the first time since 1975.
Proved reserves
Proved reserves are those volumes of oil and natural gas that geological and engineering data
demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs
under existing economic and operating conditions.
North Dakota had the largest
increase (1.9 billion barrels,
51%) in oil reserves among
individual states in 2013,
based on development of the
Bakken/Three Forks formation
in the Williston Basin. With 5.7
billion barrels of proved
reserves, North Dakota has
more reserves than the federal
offshore waters of the Gulf of
Mexico.
Texas remains by far the
leading state in total proved oil
reserves—its reserves
increased from 11.1 billion barrels in 2012 to 12 billion barrels in 2013 (an 8% increase). The

largest decline of 2013 was in Alaska, where proved reserves decreased by 454 million barrels,
due mainly to reduced well performance at large existing oil fields.
Changes in reserves reflect exploration and development activities as well as financial factors.
Increases in crude oil and lease condensate reserves in 2013 were mainly attributable to nearly 5
billion barrels of extensions to existing fields.
Extensions are the result of additional drilling and exploration in previously discovered reservoirs,
and have accounted for the majority of reserves increases over the past three years. Continued
development of the Bakken/Three Forks play in North Dakota accounted for a large portion of the
reserves additions, and overall, tight oil plays accounted for almost 30% of all U.S. crude oil and
lease condensate proved reserves.
EIA's estimates of proved reserves are based on an annual survey of domestic oil and gas well
operators. For more information, read the full U.S. Crude Oil and Natural Gas Proved Reserves,

US:Natural gas reserves 2013 to reach a record 354 Tcf

U.S. total natural gas proved reserves increased 10% (31 trillion cubic feet (Tcf)) in 2013 and
reached a new U.S. record of 354 Tcf, according to newly published data in EIA's U.S. Crude Oil
and Natural Gas Proved Reserves, 2013.
Proved reserves
Proved reserves are those volumes of oil and natural gas that geological and engineering data
demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs
under existing economic and operating conditions.
At the state level, Pennsylvania and West Virginia reported the largest increases in natural gas
proved reserves in 2013, driven by continued development of the Marcellus Shale gas play in the
Appalachian Basin.
Pennsylvania added
13.5 Tcf of proved
natural gas reserves,
an increase of 37%
in 2013. West
Virginia had the
second-largest
increase, an addition
of 8.3 Tcf (56%) of

benefits from having the Barnett and Eagle Ford Shale plays within its borders, had the third-
largest increase in 2013—a 5% gain (4.4 Tcf of proved reserves). Proved reserves of natural gas
in shale gas plays accounted for 45% (159.1 Tcf) of all U.S. natural gas reserves in 2013.
Alaska had the largest decline in natural gas proved reserves in 2013, the result of deteriorating
well performance in certain oil fields. The two fuels are linked because most (87%) of Alaska's
natural gas reserves are within reservoirs that also contain and produce crude oil.
Changes in reserves reflect both geological and financial factors. In 2012, low natural gas prices
led to significant downward revisions to the reserves of existing natural gas fields. As natural gas
prices increased in 2013, a portion of those reserves from existing fields were restored by positive
net revisions. Other increases in natural gas reserves came from extensions of existing natural
gas fields and new discoveries.

operators. For more information, read the full U.S. Crude Oil and Natural Gas Proved Reserves,

Oil Price Drop Special Coverage
‘Buckwheat panic’ grips Russians as economic sanctions, oil fall bite
AFP
A woman looks at packages of buckwheat on the shelves of a supermarket in St Petersburg. With its warm, fluffy
brown grains, buckwheat is the ultimate comfort food for Russians and as sanctions hit home, it is flying off the
shelves in a shopping frenzy dubbed the “buckwheat panic”.
With its warm, fluffy brown grains, buckwheat is the ultimate comfort food for Russians and as
sanctions hit home, it is flying off the shelves in a shopping frenzy dubbed the “buckwheat panic”.
Hard-hit by falling oil prices and Western economic sanctions imposed over the Kremlin’s role in
the Ukrainian crisis, Russia is seeing a catastrophic depreciation of the rouble and steep inflation.
But while Russians grumble about the rising price of chicken, cheese or sausage, it was only
when rumours spread of buckwheat supplies running low that shoppers dashed out to fill their
trolleys.
Buckwheat “is not just a food, it is a national idea,” Russia’s leading business daily, Vedomosti,
wrote recently in an editorial. While in the West buckwheat is more seen as a trendy food for the
health conscious, in Russia it is a traditional staple, predating potatoes.
The cereal, which originates from India and Nepal, was first introduced to the Russians in the 13th
century by the Mongol invaders. It was cultivated by Byzantine monks, leading to its name in
Russian of “grechka,” which sounds like Greek.
Buckwheat can be eaten at any meal in Russia, whether simmered with milk as a porridge for
breakfast, served with chopped liver for lunch, or even stuffed inside a roast piglet at a special

dinner. It is ubiquitous in the cafeterias of Russian schools and kindergartens, hospitals, military
barracks and prisons.
This autumn as Russians began to feel the effects of sanctions and the retaliatory embargo on
most Western foods ordered by President Vladimir Putin, news spread of a low harvest in
Russia’s buckwheat heartland—the Altai region in Siberia.
Due to a drought, Russia’s buckwheat harvest fell this year to just under 600,000 tonnes, against
the usual 700,000 tons. That was hardly a disaster, but media reports were enough to spark panic
demand among consumers with people storming shops across several regions.
“In Moscow, people see a television news report about a buckwheat crisis in Penza”, a city 600
kilometres away, and “in just four days they buy up buckwheat stocks that would normally be
enough for two months,” the Moskovsky Komsomoletsdaily wrote.
One supermarket chain in the northwestern city of Saint Petersburg even introduced a five-pack
limit for buckwheat purchases. Even though buckwheat is homegrown and so little affected by
sanctions or the falling rouble, the price of a packet of buckwheat rose from around 30 roubles to
50 roubles ($0.93) in Moscow and doubled in some regions.
“People store up on buckwheat—which can be kept for a long time—because they do not know
what to expect from the (Western) sanctions,” said Galina, a trader at a Saint Petersburg food
market. There have been “buckwheat crises” in the past, most recently sparked by a 2010
drought, said Alexei Makarkin, a political analyst with the Centre for Political Technologies.
But what is different now is that “there is no question of a real shortage of buckwheat,” said Dmitry
Rylko of the Institute for Agricultural Market Studies. While initially there was no problem with
supplies, “excessive demand sparked” the buckwheat crisis, said Alexey Alexeyenko, a senior
official at Russia’s food safety agency, Rosselkhoznadzor.
Russian media called the phenomenon “hysteria” or even “buckwheat psychosis.” A survey
conducted in late November by the Levada Center pollster found that almost a third of the
Russians had stocked up on buckwheat in recent weeks. Buckwheat stockpiling is more a symbol
of troubled times, Rylko said, calling it “a sacred food for Russians that disappears at the onset of
any signs of crisis.”
The Kremlin’s retaliatory embargo banning Western food imports has hit Russian consumers hard.
Prices have gone up 30 to 40% for basic foods such as eggs, pork, chicken, frozen fish and
sausage since the counter sanctions were imposed.

Iran unveils budget based on lower oil price of $70/barrel
Reuters + AFP
Iranian parliament members arrive before President Hassan Rouhani presented the
budget in Tehran yesterday. Iran unveiled a draft budget yesterday for next year
based on oil prices remaining around $70 per barrel, with President Hassan
Rouhani saying the country would become less dependent on crude.
With international prices at five-year
lows on the back of oversupply worries
and a stronger dollar, major oil
producers are having to juggle their
finances to compensate for lower than
expected revenues. Rouhani admitted
the budget for the fiscal year starting in
March 2015 “would be under pressure”
given the big fall in oil prices in recent
months, from above $100 to less than
$70.
“Such a drop is unprecedented,” he said in a speech to parliament carried live on
state television, noting that the government had been cautious in its forecasts. “In
the short term, we will have a decrease in our revenues. Our economy must move
towards non-oil exports. The oil price drop is a new opportunity to accelerate this.”
Iran has the world’s fourth largest proven oil reserves and currently exports around
1.3 million barrels per day. However, Rouhani said oil revenues earmarked for the
budget would be $24bn next year, down from $27.5bn, meaning less than half the
government’s income would come from exported crude.
Iran had already announced some tax rise plans on the back of the recent oil price
fall, along with increases in non-oil exports. Next year’s non-oil-based revenues will
constitute more than half the government’s total income, rising to 53 percent from
the current 47 percent, according to forecasts. Total spending will rise 8.5 percent.
Rouhani did not state a figure for the price of oil per barrel laid down in the budget,
but the official IRNA news agency said it was fixed at $72 — down from around
$100 in the current budget year.
Other changes have also been necessary. Money from oil sales put into the
National Development Fund used to finance major infrastructure projects will drop
from 31 percent to 20 percent “to avoid too much pressure on the budget”, Rouhani
said.

Defence expenditure to increase by 33.5pc
DUBAI: President Hassan Rouhani will hike military spending by more than a third in the next
fiscal year despite presenting a “cautious, tight” budget in response to falling oil prices and
punishing sanctions. Rouhani proposed a general budget of 8,400 trillion rials.
Defence expenditure will rise 33.5 percent to about 282 trillion rials, most of which will be assigned
to the elite Revolutionary Guards. The Guards’ budget will increase by about half to 174 trillion
rials. Iran is stockpiling rockets, missiles and other conventional weapons.

Page 3 Total eyes new blocks offshore the Sultanate (OEPPA Business Development Dept) + NewBase Energy major Total has pledged to deploy cutting-edge technology solutions to unlock the hydrocarbon potential of Block 41 offshore Oman's northeastern coast, according to a high- ranking executive of the French oil and gas group. François Bichon, CLOV Project Director -- Total E&P Angola, also voiced the energy giant's keenness to build on its well-established association with the Sultanate's energy sector by acquiring new offshore acreage. "Since 1937, Total has been a long-standing partner of Oman in the development of its oil and gas industry. We are now actively looking for additional blocks where we could apply our expertise and contribute to increasing the reserves and then the subsequent production in Oman," he stated in exclusive comments to the Observer. Bichon is due in Muscat this week to showcase Total's ground-breaking CLOV project in Angola at the 'Offshore Development Oman' set to be held at Al Bustan Palace -- A Ritz Carlton Hotel during December 9-10, 2014. Organised by well-known event management firm Global Exhibitions and Conferences LLC (GEC) in collaboration with the Ministry of Oil and Gas, the two-day conference will spotlight offshore opportunities in the Sultanate. Last December, the group's local subsidiary Total Exploration and Production Oman Petroleum BV, signed an Exploration & Production Sharing Agreement (EPSA) with the Omani government for offshore Block 41. Located northwest of Muscat, the concession covers a large unexplored area of almost 24,000 square kilometres in water depths ranging from 30 to more than 3,000 metres. According to Bichon, the company has since made headway in the acquisition of new data from the ultra-deep waters of this block. "The first steps mainly involved acquiring additional data, to complement existing data, aimed at derisking the drilling of the well. Seabed coring was carried out and shallow subsurface geological samples were collected using a weighted corer lowered from the side of a special-purpose vessel. Geochemical studies were carried out on these cores to assess the area's potential," he explained. Given the challenges posed by these water depths, Total's significant experience around the world in implementing cutting-edge technology solutions without compromising risk management will be a key factor in the exploration and development of Block 41, he noted.

Page 4 "In short, Total has the necessary knowledge, experience and expertise to overcome these technological challenges -- just as it did in offshore Angola. That is why, in 2015, Total's deep offshore production will represent as much as 10 per cent of all deep-water production in the world, with around 400 subsea wells." The principal target set by Total as part of the initial activities targeting Block 41 was to de-risk the drilling of the well in the block within one year, with seabed coring being the main work carried out offshore. This was undertaken with the utmost care and attention in order to take full account of the extremely delicate ecosystem found in coastal waters around Muscat, said Bichon. In the Sultanate, Total is a 4 per cent shareholder in Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) from whose Block 6 concession is produced much of the country's oil and gas output. The Group also has a 5.54 per cent stake in Oman LNG and a 2.04 per cent stake in Qalhat LNG.

Page 5 Qatar well-positioned to face renewable energy challenges: QSTec chief Gulf Times Correspondent Dr Khalid K al-Hajri, chairman & CEO, Qatar Solar Technologies (QSTec), addressed the GCC- British Economic Forum on the issue of ‘The Emergence of Sustainable Energy’. He spoke to Gulf Times at the event on how the shift to renewables can best be managed. He observed: “In order to make the shift to renewables you have to be careful and calculate all the risks associated with it. Each industry has its own challenges; for example, renewables, and the mature industries. We cannot continue using conventional ways and not think about the renewables part which we know will impact positively, helping to resolve the problems of climate change.” He predicted: “By between 2030 and 2050 we should see around 60% of renewables replacing conventional energy sources.” Asked about the fall in oil prices and the impact on Qatar, he said: “I am sure that the people in Qatar with responsibility for that area know how to handle that kind of challenge. If we are talking about changing oil prices — well, welcome to the reality of supply of demand. “But LNG always goes with long term contracts that have secured good prices. So I don’t see that challenge in the same way that others see it. I think that Qatar is in a position to overcome those kind of challenges.” With regard to relations between the GCC countries, he commented: “We are delighted to see the recent developments between the countries of the GCC and how the future will look. We are six countries but we are one family.” He also highlighted the strong ties with the UK. “We have a great relationship with the UK. As the secretary-general of the GCC said, ‘We consider London as our second home’.”

Page 7 UK: Cluff Natural Resources formally awarded five licences in the UK's 28th Offshore Licensing Round. Source: Cluff Natural Resources Cluff Natural Resources, the AIM quoted natural resources investing company, has announced that further to the provisional award of promote licences in theUK's 28th Offshore Licencing Round on 7 November 2014, it has now been formally awarded the five promote licences covering a total of eleven blocks by the Department of Energy and Climate Change ('DECC'). The specific licences and blocks awarded, all wholly owned by CLNR, are as follows: The selected blocks are located in an under-explored, emerging gas province of the Southern North Sea, with diverse, high-potential play fairways and trap types in the Carboniferous. Significant interest in the area has recently been rejuvenated by breakthroughs in broadband 3-D seismic surveying technology, which acquires high resolution images below the Permian overburden. Notable developments in the wider area include the completion of a multi-client 3-D survey (covering CLNR block 42/1 and part of CLNR blocks 41/5 and 41/10), the Pegasus West Gas Discovery (operated by Centrica, which flowed approximately 90MMscf/day on test from Namurian reservoirs), first gas production from the Breagh Field (operated by RWE Dea, estimated to contain nearly 600bcf of recoverable gas reserves) in October 2013 and on-going development of the Cygnus Gas Field (operated by GDF Suez) where first gas production is due in 2015. All of CLNR's newly awarded blocks are located in relatively shallow water where new conventional gas discoveries can be developed quickly and regional infrastructure is evolving rapidly. The five licences are awarded on a 'Promote' basis and accordingly have nominal work programmes of obtaining and reprocessing 2-D seismic data, as well as a 90% reduction in annual rentals during the initial two year period. Firm drilling commitments are not required until the end of the second year of the Licences in December 2016, by which time a full geological evaluation and resource assessment will have been completed. Algy Cluff, Chairman and Chief Executive of CLNR, commented: 'I am delighted to report that DECC has formally awarded our company these new gas licences in this emerging area of the Southern North Sea. CLNR already has a portfolio of eight offshore Underground Coal Gasification Licences totalling 613 kmÂČ in the UK and securing eleven North Sea gas blocks over 2,418 kmÂČ is a major achievement for the Company.

Page 10 UK: Ineos bets $1 billion upstream in UK shale gas Introducing itself as “THE WORD FOR CHEMICALS”, the Swiss-based company Ineos is maneuvering a strategic breakthrough in planning $1 billion capital expenditure in UK shale gas to feed its petrochemical complex in Grangemouth, Scotland. Acquired from BP willing to focus on upstream activities, the Ineos Grangemouth refining and petrochemical complex occupies a sensitive position as it supplies 70% of the transportation fuels consumed in Scotland. Fighting for survival among the European refining over-capacities, this Ineos Grangemouth complex is now facing the competition from the North American petrochemical industry taking advantage of the shale gas lower prices compared with North Sea conventional gas. With operations on both sides of Atlantic, Ineos intents to remain a global player and preserve its European footprint. In this context, Ineos and Unite union managed to find a deal to align Grangemouth on US labor costs. Ineos also decided to invest in a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal to secure competitive feedstock from US. After completing ethylene expansion in Chocolate Bayou in Texas, USA, Ineos is working on the next step to boost its Grangemouth refining and petrochemical complex with the opportunity to develop the shale gas in UK since this country is willing to take the lead in Europe in the exploration of this unconventional resources in the same way that UK has become a global leader in deep offshore technologies from its North Sea fortune. While announcing its intention to invest $1 billion in shale gas fields development, Ineos submitted additional applications to the UK Department of Energy & Climate Change (DOE) for new licences. From the analysis performed by the British Geological Survey, the Midland Valley in Scotland may hold 80 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas and 6 billion barrels of oil, but there is still uncertainty about the percentage of recoverable reserves from these unconventional resources. After recruiting shale gas experts from the US, Ineos started to acquired licenses in different blocks proposed by the UK Government. In August 2014, Ineos took 51% of the 127 square mile Petroleum Exploration and Development Licenses (PEDL) 133 including Grangemouth, Falkirk and Stirling areas. In October 2014, Ineos bought 80% of the 154 square mile PEDL 162 adjacent to the Block 133 on ots east side. Proposing significant incentive to the local inhabitants, Ineos is willing to share profits in order to speed up the development of these unconventional resources for which it is planning to drill hundreds wells over the next five to six years. Due to start first shale gas exploratory operations in 2015, Ineos is then preparing additional investment for thegas treatment and production in the UK by 2020.

Page 11 US:oil reserves rising, surpass 36 billion barrels for first time since 1975 Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, U.S. Crude Oil and Natural Gas Proved Reserves U.S. crude oil and lease condensate proved reserves rose for the fifth consecutive year in 2013, increasing by 9% from the 2012 level to 36.5 billion barrels, according to the U.S. Crude Oil and Natural Gas Proved Reserves, 2013report released yesterday by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). U.S. crude oil and lease condensate proved reserves surpassed 36 billion barrels for the first time since 1975. Proved reserves Proved reserves are those volumes of oil and natural gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. North Dakota had the largest increase (1.9 billion barrels, 51%) in oil reserves among individual states in 2013, based on development of the Bakken/Three Forks formation in the Williston Basin. With 5.7 billion barrels of proved reserves, North Dakota has more reserves than the federal offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Texas remains by far the leading state in total proved oil reserves—its reserves increased from 11.1 billion barrels in 2012 to 12 billion barrels in 2013 (an 8% increase). The

Page 12 largest decline of 2013 was in Alaska, where proved reserves decreased by 454 million barrels, due mainly to reduced well performance at large existing oil fields. Changes in reserves reflect exploration and development activities as well as financial factors. Increases in crude oil and lease condensate reserves in 2013 were mainly attributable to nearly 5 billion barrels of extensions to existing fields. Extensions are the result of additional drilling and exploration in previously discovered reservoirs, and have accounted for the majority of reserves increases over the past three years. Continued development of the Bakken/Three Forks play in North Dakota accounted for a large portion of the reserves additions, and overall, tight oil plays accounted for almost 30% of all U.S. crude oil and lease condensate proved reserves. EIA's estimates of proved reserves are based on an annual survey of domestic oil and gas well operators.

Page 13 US:Natural gas reserves 2013 to reach a record 354 Tcf Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, U.S. Crude Oil and Natural Gas Proved Reserves U.S. total natural gas proved reserves increased 10% (31 trillion cubic feet (Tcf)) in 2013 and reached a new U.S. record of 354 Tcf, according to newly published data in EIA's U.S. Crude Oil and Natural Gas Proved Reserves, 2013. Proved reserves Proved reserves are those volumes of oil and natural gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. At the state level, Pennsylvania and West Virginia reported the largest increases in natural gas proved reserves in 2013, driven by continued development of the Marcellus Shale gas play in the Appalachian Basin. Pennsylvania added 13.5 Tcf of proved natural gas reserves, an increase of 37% in 2013. West Virginia had the second-largest increase, an addition of 8.3 Tcf (56%) of natural gas proved reserves. Combined, these two states had 70% of the net increase in U.S. natural gas proved reserves in 2013. Texas, which

Page 14 benefits from having the Barnett and Eagle Ford Shale plays within its borders, had the third- largest increase in 2013—a 5% gain (4.4 Tcf of proved reserves). Proved reserves of natural gas in shale gas plays accounted for 45% (159.1 Tcf) of all U.S. natural gas reserves in 2013. Alaska had the largest decline in natural gas proved reserves in 2013, the result of deteriorating well performance in certain oil fields. The two fuels are linked because most (87%) of Alaska's natural gas reserves are within reservoirs that also contain and produce crude oil. Changes in reserves reflect both geological and financial factors. In 2012, low natural gas prices led to significant downward revisions to the reserves of existing natural gas fields. As natural gas prices increased in 2013, a portion of those reserves from existing fields were restored by positive net revisions. Other increases in natural gas reserves came from extensions of existing natural gas fields and new discoveries. EIA's estimates of proved reserves are based on an annual survey of domestic oil and gas well operators.

Page 15 Oil Price Drop Special Coverage ‘Buckwheat panic’ grips Russians as economic sanctions, oil fall bite AFP A woman looks at packages of buckwheat on the shelves of a supermarket in St Petersburg. With its warm, fluffy brown grains, buckwheat is the ultimate comfort food for Russians and as sanctions hit home, it is flying off the shelves in a shopping frenzy dubbed the “buckwheat panic”. With its warm, fluffy brown grains, buckwheat is the ultimate comfort food for Russians and as sanctions hit home, it is flying off the shelves in a shopping frenzy dubbed the “buckwheat panic”. Hard-hit by falling oil prices and Western economic sanctions imposed over the Kremlin’s role in the Ukrainian crisis, Russia is seeing a catastrophic depreciation of the rouble and steep inflation. But while Russians grumble about the rising price of chicken, cheese or sausage, it was only when rumours spread of buckwheat supplies running low that shoppers dashed out to fill their trolleys. Buckwheat “is not just a food, it is a national idea,” Russia’s leading business daily, Vedomosti, wrote recently in an editorial. While in the West buckwheat is more seen as a trendy food for the health conscious, in Russia it is a traditional staple, predating potatoes. The cereal, which originates from India and Nepal, was first introduced to the Russians in the 13th century by the Mongol invaders. It was cultivated by Byzantine monks, leading to its name in Russian of “grechka,” which sounds like Greek. Buckwheat can be eaten at any meal in Russia, whether simmered with milk as a porridge for breakfast, served with chopped liver for lunch, or even stuffed inside a roast piglet at a special

It is ubiquitous in the cafeterias of Russian schools and kindergartens, hospitals, military barracks and prisons. This autumn as Russians began to feel the effects of sanctions and the retaliatory embargo on most Western foods ordered by President Vladimir Putin, news spread of a low harvest in Russia’s buckwheat heartland—the Altai region in Siberia. Due to a drought, Russia’s buckwheat harvest fell this year to just under 600,000 tonnes, against the usual 700,000 tons. That was hardly a disaster, but media reports were enough to spark panic demand among consumers with people storming shops across several regions. “In Moscow, people see a television news report about a buckwheat crisis in Penza”, a city 600 kilometres away, and “in just four days they buy up buckwheat stocks that would normally be enough for two months,” the Moskovsky Komsomoletsdaily wrote. One supermarket chain in the northwestern city of Saint Petersburg even introduced a five-pack limit for buckwheat purchases. Even though buckwheat is homegrown and so little affected by sanctions or the falling rouble, the price of a packet of buckwheat rose from around 30 roubles to 50 roubles ($0.93) in Moscow and doubled in some regions. “People store up on buckwheat—which can be kept for a long time—because they do not know what to expect from the (Western) sanctions,” said Galina, a trader at a Saint Petersburg food market. There have been “buckwheat crises” in the past, most recently sparked by a 2010 drought, said Alexei Makarkin, a political analyst with the Centre for Political Technologies. But what is different now is that “there is no question of a real shortage of buckwheat,” said Dmitry Rylko of the Institute for Agricultural Market Studies. While initially there was no problem with supplies, “excessive demand sparked” the buckwheat crisis, said Alexey Alexeyenko, a senior official at Russia’s food safety agency, Rosselkhoznadzor. Russian media called the phenomenon “hysteria” or even “buckwheat psychosis.” A survey conducted in late November by the Levada Center pollster found that almost a third of the Russians had stocked up on buckwheat in recent weeks. Buckwheat stockpiling is more a symbol of troubled times, Rylko said, calling it “a sacred food for Russians that disappears at the onset of any signs of crisis.” The Kremlin’s retaliatory embargo banning Western food imports has hit Russian consumers hard. Prices have gone up 30 to 40% for basic foods such as eggs, pork, chicken, frozen fish and sausage since the counter sanctions were imposed.

Page 17 Iran unveils budget based on lower oil price of $70/barrel Reuters + AFP Iranian parliament members arrive before President Hassan Rouhani presented the budget in Tehran yesterday. Iran unveiled a draft budget yesterday for next year based on oil prices remaining around $70 per barrel, with President Hassan Rouhani saying the country would become less dependent on crude. With international prices at five-year lows on the back of oversupply worries and a stronger dollar, major oil producers are having to juggle their finances to compensate for lower than expected revenues. Rouhani admitted the budget for the fiscal year starting in March 2015 “would be under pressure” given the big fall in oil prices in recent months, from above $100 to less than $70. “Such a drop is unprecedented,” he said in a speech to parliament carried live on state television, noting that the government had been cautious in its forecasts. “In the short term, we will have a decrease in our revenues. Our economy must move towards non-oil exports. The oil price drop is a new opportunity to accelerate this.” Iran has the world’s fourth largest proven oil reserves and currently exports around 1.3 million barrels per day. However, Rouhani said oil revenues earmarked for the budget would be $24bn next year, down from $27.5bn, meaning less than half the government’s income would come from exported crude. Iran had already announced some tax rise plans on the back of the recent oil price fall, along with increases in non-oil exports. Next year’s non-oil-based revenues will constitute more than half the government’s total income, rising to 53 percent from the current 47 percent, according to forecasts. Total spending will rise 8.5 percent. Rouhani did not state a figure for the price of oil per barrel laid down in the budget, but the official IRNA news agency said it was fixed at $72 — down from around $100 in the current budget year. Other changes have also been necessary. Money from oil sales put into the National Development Fund used to finance major infrastructure projects will drop from 31 percent to 20 percent “to avoid too much pressure on the budget”, Rouhani said.

Page 18 Defence expenditure to increase by 33.5pc DUBAI: President Hassan Rouhani will hike military spending by more than a third in the next fiscal year despite presenting a “cautious, tight” budget in response to falling oil prices and punishing sanctions. Rouhani proposed a general budget of 8,400 trillion rials. Defence expenditure will rise 33.5 percent to about 282 trillion rials, most of which will be assigned to the elite Revolutionary Guards. The Guards’ budget will increase by about half to 174 trillion rials. Iran is stockpiling rockets, missiles and other conventional weapons.
