U.A.E :Adnoc awards Mc Dermott FEED for Fujairah LNG terminal
Uupstreamonline.com/lng/ + NewBase
Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) has awarded a front-end engineering and design contract
to McDermott International of the US for work on a huge liquefied natural gas export terminal in the
United Arab Emirates.
The emirati state-owned giant confirmed the development in a social media post on Wednesday.
“Adnoc’s new, carbon-efficient LNG plant in Fujairah is moving to the design stage, with McDermott
International Ltd appointed as the design contractor,” the company said.
The project — comprising two 4.8 million tonnes per annum LNG trains — is expected to increase
Adnoc’s LNG production capacity by 9.6 million tpa, it noted. Adnoc said the plant is “set to become
one of the world’s lowest carbon intensity LNG production facilities through incorporating new
technologies and running on clean power”.
The FEED award is “expected to be followed by the award of an EPC contract in 2023”, the company
added. Upstream reported last month that up to four leading international engineering giants were
in the frame for the prized FEED contract for the Fujairah LNG project.

McDermott is said to have pipped KBR, Fluor and Technip Energies in the engineering
contest.Adnoc plans to develop the two-train 9.6 million tpa liquefaction facility at Fujairah to cater
to several gas markets around the world.
Strategic move
The UAE’s LNG ambitions are a part of its drive to become a key gas exporter in the long-term and
to reduce its dependence on imported Qatari gas.
Adnoc chief executive Sultan Ahmed al Jaber has earlier highlighted the UAE’s ambitions to emerge
as a key LNG exporter on the back of several gas-focused upstream developments in the emirate,
including the giant Hail & Ghasha sour gas scheme.
The company is separately progressing with a revised FEED study on the Hail & Ghasha project,
which is likely to be worth billions of dollars and would significantly ramp up the emirate’s gas
production capability.
The UAE consumes about 1.8 billion cubic feet per day of Qatari gas via the Dolphin pipeline and
also has LNG purchase agreements with its neighbour.
The Fujairah LNG terminal could catapult UAE forward to becoming a major regional LNG exporter,
thus competing with its neighbour Qatar and reducing its dependence on imports.
Two LNG trains
The Fujairah liquefaction plant will include process facilities, flare and utilities, project watchers
earlier said. LNG storage tanks, an export jetty — with an option for bunkering — and other
associated facilities are also likely to be involved.
The workscope could also include the laying of a new 52-inch gas pipeline from Habshan to
Fujairah, with the capacity to handle up to 2 Bcfd.
Adnoc LNG, a subsidiary of Adnoc, already produces about 6 million tpa of LNG from its facilities
on Das Island off the coast of Abu Dhabi. The company is owned by Adnoc with a 70% stake, with
Mitsui holding 15%, BP 10%, and TotalEnergies 5%.

U.A.E: Masdar, NPCC sign deal to explore clean energy projects
The National + NewBase
Masdar, a global leader in renewable energy projects, has signed an agreement with the UAE-
based National Petroleum Construction Company (NPCC), a leading engineering procurement and
construction company and a subsidiary of National Marine Dredging Company (NMDC), to explore
collaboration in offshore wind, green
hydrogen, and other renewable
energy technologies.
Masdar is a major developer and
investor in wind projects, which has
major stakes in global projects such
as a stake in the London Array, one of
the largest offshore wind farms in the
world, and in Hywind Scotland, the
world’s first floating offshore wind
farm, which became operational in
2017.
This year, Masdar signed an
agreement with Cosmo Energy
Holdings Company, one of Japan’s
largest energy companies, to explore the development of renewable energy initiatives, including
offshore wind projects, in Japan.
The deal was signed by Masdar CEO Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi and NPCC CEO Engineeer
Ahmed Al Dhaheri at an event held in Masdar’s head office in Abu Dhabi. The companies will
initially focus on collaboration in offshore wind and also explore extending their efforts to cover other
sectors, including green hydrogen production and battery storage technologies.
Al Dhaheri said NPCC continually explores new opportunities that align with its resources and
engineering expertise in decarbonization projects in support of the UAE’s climate change action
initiatives and long-term sustainable development vision.
"Partnering with Masdar will undoubtedly contribute towards advancing energy transition in the
country and open new avenues for clean energy integration and adoption," he stated. Al Ramahi
said: "Masdar and NPCC share a common commitment to advancing the UAE’s leadership position
in the energy sector and to driving sustainable growth."
"By leveraging each other’s world-class expertise in our respective fields, our combined efforts could
play a vital role in achieving the UAE’s clean energy objectives and support our nation’s net-zero
commitment," he noted.
Masdar, he stated, was also working in green hydrogen development, in collaboration with a number
of international partners. In December, it formed a strategic alliance with France’s Engie to co-
develop a UAE-based green hydrogen hub, with a planned investment in the region of $5 billion.
Masdar and Hassan Allam Utilities last month co-signed agreements with leading organisations in
Egypt related to development of green hydrogen production plants in the country, targeting an
electrolyzer capacity of 4 gigawatts (GW) by 2030, he added.

S.Africa largest producer and consumer of coal, relying on the
fuel for about 80% of its electricity. Clyde Russell, Reuters News
In South Africa's Johannesburg there is a scourge known as the Parktown Prawn, which is a actually
a giant cricket. Reaching as long as seven centimetres (2.8 inches), the insect comes with a
fearsome reputation of being hard to kill and even if successfully squashed, it leaves a black fecal
matter that causes stains.
Coal in South Africa is rather like the Parktown Prawn - hard to kill, dirty when you do, but also
somewhat useful as it eats pests such as snails.
A Transnet Freight Rail train is seen next to tons of coal mined from the nearby Khanye Colliery mine, at the

So when presidents, miners and lobbyists attending Africa's biggest mining investment conference
earlier this week spoke of a "just energy transition", it was quite clear that the term is largely code
for let's keep coal.
A just energy transition first entered the lexicon with a formal agreement between South Africa, the
United States, Britain, France and Germany last November under which $8.5 billion of financing
would be mobilised to help South Africa decarbonise its economy.
South Africa is the continent's largest producer and consumer of coal, relying on the polluting fuel
for about 80% of its electricity generation. It is also the world's fourth-largest exporter behind
Indonesia, Australia and Russia.

While South Africa's political leaders and mining industry remains committed to decarbonising the
economy, dig a little deeper and the abiding attachment to coal and the jobs it provides becomes
evident.
President Cyril Ramaphosa, a former mining union leader, told the African Mining Indaba in Cape
Town that the continent's resources were vital for energy security, for social and economic
development and for cutting poverty.
That all sounds reasonable, but Ramaphosa also used language that seemed to provide significant
flexibility in how South Africa would meet its climate targets. "It is important as we undertake a just
energy transition, we adhere to the principle contained in the U.N. Framework Convention on
Climate Change of common but differentiated responsibilities and capabilities," he told the event.
What this is likely to mean in practical terms is that countries like South Africa will want to keep coal
for as long as possible and leave the heavy-lifting of getting rid of the fossil fuel to more developed
nations that can afford it.
SCHIZOPHRENIA
The Minerals Council of South Africa also appears to be trying to have its cake and eat it, insofar
as it remains committed to net-zero emissions by 2050 and describes climate change as an
existential issue, but it also wants to keep coal jobs and presumably profits.
Nikisi Lesufi, the council's senior
executive of environment, health and
legacy, started a media briefing at
Mining Indaba with a plea to the
reporters that they "shouldn't look at me
as schizophrenic."
He then outlined a position that may not
meet the medical definition of
schizophrenia but certainly was
contradictory in nature, saying it was
possible to reduce carbon intensity and
protect the coal industry all at the same
time.
Much of what the council and its mining members are proposing is good news for climate concerns,
such as using renewable energy to power mines and switching to clean vehicles, such as hydrogen-
powered dump trucks.
But these largely only address what are termed Scope 1 and 2 emissions, leaving the huge problem
for coal of Scope 3 emissions, which is the pollution created when the fuel is burned.
Talking behind the scenes to miners, officials and investors at the conference and it becomes clear
that most expect coal-fired power to dominate in South Africa for an extended period, even though
the likelihood of new power plants and mines being developed is getting lower.
South Africa's energy dilemma mirrors that for other countries in similar situations. Coal is likely
going to be hard to kill off in countries with vast domestic reserves and rapidly rising energy needs,
such as India, Indonesia and even China.
Countries that can exploit domestic reserves and largely control prices for the local market are likely
to find that coal remains competitive with cleaner alternatives, and has the added benefit of providing
numerous jobs.

Germany to Stop Russian Oil Imports Regardless of EU Sanctions
Bloomberg - Michael Nienaber
Germany plans to stop importing Russian oil by the end of the year even if the European Union fails
to agree on an EU-wide ban in its next set of sanctions, government officials said.
Efforts to seal deals with alternative suppliers are progressing at the chancellery in Berlin and the
government is confident it can solve remaining logistical problems within the next six to seven
months, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
With European Union foreign ministers meeting in Brussels on Monday to discuss the next round of
sanctions, EU diplomats have floated a delay in the phased-in oil ban after Hungary objected, saying
the step would be too damaging to its economy.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government is determined to push ahead with its national plan as
part of Europe’s penalties on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, the officials said. The government
hasn’t said which countries would make up the shortfall.
Russia’s share of German crude consumption has already declined to 12% from about 35% before
the war in Ukraine, according to the Economy Ministry in Berlin.
Remaining challenges include getting enough alternative oil to a key eastern German refinery that
relies heavily on Russian crude through the so-called Druzhba pipeline and is operated by Kremlin-
backed producer Rosneft PJSC.
The oil-processing plant in Schwedt, which is ensures fuel supplies for Berlin’s international airport,
most fuel stations in the capital and the surrounding state of Brandenburg, will need to bring in
alternative deliveries via the German Baltic port of Rostock.
German authorities have established that an old pipeline linking Rostock and Schwedt can be used,
but its relatively small size means it could only cover some 60% of the refinery’s full capacity for
now, the officials said. Authorities are working to increase the pump pressure of the pipeline and

modernize the infrastructure so that more oil can reach Schwedt. Also under consideration is
covering the Berlin airport’s fuel demand from a different refinery, possibly in Bavaria.
Non-Russian oil for Schwedt would initially come from a national reserve near the port of
Wilhelmshaven, from where it would be shipped through the Kiel Canal to Rostock and from there
through the beefed-up pipeline to the refinery.
Since Rosneft is seen as having little incentive to switch suppliers for Schwedt, Germany is
preparing legislation that would wrest control of the refinery from the Russian company as early as
June 1.
Netherlands, Qatar
Oil sanctions and energy security are expected to be high on the agenda next week when Scholz
travels to the Netherlands for talks with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte on Thursday and hosts
Qatar’s emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, in Berlin on Friday.
Shell Plc has suspended the sale of its stake in the Schwedt refinery and is in talks with the German
government over its share after agreeing last year to sell it to Rosneft.
The EU proposal seeks to ban crude oil over the next six months and refined fuels by early January.
Hungary and Slovakia were offered until the end of 2024 and the Czech Republic until June 2024
to comply. All three rely heavily on Russian oil.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has suggested that any oil ban would need to be discussed
by EU leaders at a summit. The next one is scheduled for late May.

TotalEnergies launches worldwide drone-based methane
emissions detection and quantification campaign Source: TotalEnergie
s
As part of its commitment to identify, quantify and reduce methane emissions linked to its
operations, TotalEnergies has launched a worldwide drone-based emissions detection and
quantification campaign across all its upstream Oil & Gas operated sites.
The campaign uses AUSEA technology developed by TotalEnergies, the French National Research
Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and University of Reims Champagne Ardenne.
Since 2017, TotalEnergies has been working with its partners to develop greenhouse gas
quantification technology known as AUSEA (for Airborne Ultralight Spectrometer For Environmental
Applications). AUSEA consists of a miniature dual sensor mounted on a drone, capable of detecting
methane and carbon dioxide emissions, while at the same time identifying their source.
Measurements can be taken at all types of industrial facility, whether onshore or offshore, using this
technology. It supplements measurements taken using traditional techniques such as infrared
cameras, ground sensors and satellite.
After being successfully tested at sites in Nigeria, Italy, the Republic of the Congo and the
Netherlands, AUSEA technology is being rolled out this year at all upstream Oil & Gas sites operated
by TotalEnergies.
The campaign began in early March for African offshore sites, has now been launched in South
America and will reach Europe this summer. The campaign is an important step towards achieving
a reduction of 50% in methane emissions at Company operated sites by 2025 and of 80% by 2030
(targets in relation to 2020).
'TotalEnergies is committed to moving towards Zero Methane. Considered to be currently the most
accurate technology in the world to detect and measure methane emissions, AUSEA will help us to
refine our emissions calculations, and to take stronger measures to reduce our emissions even

further in order to achieve the targets we have set', said Namita Shah, President, OneTech of
TotalEnergies.
The AUSEA technology is also being further developed to move from a manual to an autonomous
mode in order to increase the frequency of methane emission measurements. Its deployment will
also be extended to the Company's other activities, particularly at its refineries.
Reducing methane emissions: a priority for TotalEnergies
The Company already halved its methane emissions at its operated sites between 2010 and 2020
by targeting all sources (reductions in flaring, venting, fugitive emissions, etc.) and introducing
stricter design criteria for new facilities.
In line with the Glasgow agreements, the Company is setting new targets for its operated methane
emissions for the current decade: reduction from 2020 levels of 50% by 2025 and 80% by 2030. The
Company has also undertaken to keep methane intensity below 0.1% across its operated gas
facilities.
The Company is also enhancing its reporting as part of OGMP 2.0, the second phase of the United
Nations Environment Programme’s Oil & Gas Methane Partnership.
OGMP 2.0 outlines a reporting framework that encompasses the entire gas value chain and non-
operated scope, including a breakdown of emissions by source, information on inventory
methodologies and the use of airborne measurement campaigns. In 2021, TotalEnergies was
awarded Gold Standard status. The Company is also a signatory of the Methane Guiding Principles.

Oil Rose to Highest Since March as Fuel Markets Heat Up
Bloomberg -Julia Fanzeres + NewBase
Oil rallied above $114 as a global squeeze on refined products prompted concerns about
summertime supplies and continued to pull fuel prices higher. Oil prices eased on Tuesday as
Hungary resisted a European Union push for a ban on Russian oil imports, a move that would tighten
global supply, and as investors took profits following a recent rally.
Brent crude futures fell 37 cents, or 0.32%, to $113.87 a barrel by 0553 GMT, while U.S. West
Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures slid 50 cents, or 0.43%, to $113.70 a barrel. Both
benchmarks gained more than 2% on Monday, following a 4% jump on Friday.

EU foreign ministers failed on Monday in their effort to pressure Budapest to lift its veto of a proposed
oil embargo on Russia following the country's invasion of Ukraine. An embargo would require
approval from all EU nations.
Still, overall sentiment on prices remained bullish amid optimism about demand recovery in China
as it looks to ease COVID restrictions that have hurt its economy, analysts said.
West Texas Intermediate rose 3.4% to the settle at highest level since late March. US gasoline
futures topped $4 a gallon for the first time ever, while the national average retail price rose to a
fresh record. Rising futures tend to trickle through to the pump quickly, signaling more pain for
drivers when the summer driving season starts at the end of this month.
“The stronger products get, the more optimistic the market gets on crude runs increasing this
summer,” said Scott Shelton, an energy specialist at TP ICAP Group Plc.
Buying in US timespreads -- or the difference between contracts for immediate delivery and those
in the future -- picked up thanks to a decline in stockpiles at Cushing, Oklahoma. Inventories at the
storage hub fell by about 2.629 million barrels in the week to May 13, traders said citing Wood
Mackenzie data. The prompt spread widened to as much as $2.45, the largest gap since March.
The tightness in US inventories put the day’s session on a rallying course. Earlier, futures retreated
as China’s industrial output and consumer spending slumped in April to the worst levels since the
pandemic began, while apparent oil demand and crude processing plunged. Strict lockdowns to halt
the virus have curbed fuel use.
Shanghai has been one of the hardest hit by virus restrictions, but there may be some relief on the
horizon. The city reported a second day of no Covid-19 cases outside quarantine, putting it on the
brink of meeting the three days of zero community transmission required to start easing a punishing
lockdown.

European Union foreign ministers meet in Brussels on Monday to discuss the next round of Russian
sanctions and diplomats have floated the idea of delaying a proposed ban on its oil imports after
objections from Hungary. Germany plans to stop importing Russian crude by the end of the year
even if the EU fails to agree on coordinated action, according to government officials.
Oil Steadies After Four-Day Surge as US Product Markets Run Hot
Oil steadied after closing at the highest level in almost eight weeks as traders weighed strength in
key products markets and data from China that signaled a possible easing of some anti-virus
lockdowns.
West Texas Intermediate traded below $114 a barrel after rallying more than 14% over the previous
four sessions.. With just a couple of weeks to go before the start of the US summer driving season,
gasoline has surged to a record on expanding demand coupled with restrained refining capacity.
In China, meanwhile, Shanghai reported no new Covid-19 infections in the broader community for
a third consecutive day, hitting a crucial milestone that authorities have said will allow them to start
unwinding a punishing lockdown.
Oil has rallied by more than 50% this year in extremely volatile trading as the war in Europe tightened
supplies, while demand outside of virus-hit China picked up. WTI, the US oil benchmark, has been
rising at a faster pace than Brent in recent sessions, eking out a gain last week while the global
marker fell. That’s eroded its usual discount to Brent, with the pair now near parity.
In Europe, a drive by the European Union to ban imports of Russian crude over Moscow’s invasion
of Ukraine has been delayed amid opposition from Hungary. Josep Borrell, the bloc’s foreign policy
chief, said the foreign ministers had decided to pass the deadlock back to ambassadors for more
deliberations.
“The EU’s rising tensions with Russia and the resulting uncertainties over the the bloc’s oil-and-gas
supply remain front-and-center,” said Vandana Hari, founder of Vanda Insights in Singapore.
“Having said that, with a $10 jump since last Tuesday, it’s hard to see much more upside in crude
unless events take a sudden turn for the worse.”
US crude stockpiles at the key storage hub in Cushing, Oklahoma, have contracted by about a
quarter this this year. Holdings at the delivery point for benchmark US futures likely fell by about
2.629 million barrels in the week to May 13, traders said, citing data from Wood Mackenzie Ltd.
Oil markets remain in backwardation, a bullish pattern marked by near-term prices trading above
longer-dated ones. Brent’s prompt spread -- the difference between its two nearest contracts -- was
more than $2 a barrel on Tuesday, up from less than 50 cents in late-April.

Natural gas has the potential to expand significantly: GECF
TradeArabia News Service + NewBase
Natural gas has the potential to expand significantly over the coming decades among G20 nations
and also propel South East Asia’s growth trajectory, said Eng Mohamed Hamel, Secretary General,
Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF).
Natural gas has a crucial role in satisfying growing energy needs, whilst contributing to air quality
improvement and climate change mitigation; its share in the global energy mix is expected to
increase from 23% to 27% by 2050, Eng Hamel said in his keynote at a G20 Webinar Event on
‘Escalating the Role of Gas in Energy Transition’.
“The growing global needs for natural gas can only be met if investments are made in a timely
manner. To this end, the GECF calls for policy support, stability and predictability,” he asserted.
Upstream investments
Citing figures from the GECF Global Gas Outlook 2050, the official said upstream investment
requirements in natural gas amounts to $7.5 trillion, an enormous amount of funding especially since
the GECF expects nearly 75% of global gas output in 2050 to come from new projects.

The upcoming G20 Energy Ministerial under the Presidency of Indonesia signals an opportunity to
emphasise the soaring role of natural gas in satisfying growing energy needs of G20 and recognise
importance of natural gas for the World when “recover together – recover stronger”.
He drew the attention of senior G20 and Southeast Asian energy experts that natural gas offers
the balanced solution that the world seeks to achieve sustainable development goals in line with
the United Nations 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement.
Energy transition
The increasing pace of global energy transitions and advancement of modern technologies, which
unleash great potential of natural gas as a viable fuel, to enhance global energy security, eradicate
energy poverty, and build flexible, resilient and sustainable energy systems, in synergy with other
energy sources.
According to him, technologies that lead to promising energy carriers such as hydrogen or
decarbonise gas such as carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) need a policy push but
also “the transfer of experience and best practices to help the developing world.”
Turning to South East Asia, one of the most populous regions of the world with an increasing
appetite for gas over coal, Hamel noted that gas demand in the region is expected to more than
double to 350 bcm by 2050.
Power generation
Power generation will be the main driver for natural gas, as electricity demand will almost triple,
propelled by urbanisation, rising income and cooling requirements.
“The continuing development of LNG-to-power supply chains and interconnectivity will be key
factors, facilitating the lure of LNG into the region that will bridge the widening gap between gas
production and growing demand.”

The emirati state-owned giant confirmed the development in a social media post on Wednesday. “Adnoc’s new, carbon-efficient LNG plant in Fujairah is moving to the design stage, with McDermott International Ltd appointed as the design contractor,” the company said. The project — comprising two 4.8 million tonnes per annum LNG trains — is expected to increase Adnoc’s LNG production capacity by 9.6 million tpa, it noted. Adnoc said the plant is “set to become one of the world’s lowest carbon intensity LNG production facilities through incorporating new technologies and running on clean power”. The FEED award is “expected to be followed by the award of an EPC contract in 2023”, the company added. Upstream reported last month that up to four leading international engineering giants were in the frame for the prized FEED contract for the Fujairah LNG project.

Page 2 McDermott is said to have pipped KBR, Fluor and Technip Energies in the engineering contest.Adnoc plans to develop the two-train 9.6 million tpa liquefaction facility at Fujairah to cater to several gas markets around the world. Strategic move The UAE’s LNG ambitions are a part of its drive to become a key gas exporter in the long-term and to reduce its dependence on imported Qatari gas. Adnoc chief executive Sultan Ahmed al Jaber has earlier highlighted the UAE’s ambitions to emerge as a key LNG exporter on the back of several gas-focused upstream developments in the emirate, including the giant Hail & Ghasha sour gas scheme. The company is separately progressing with a revised FEED study on the Hail & Ghasha project, which is likely to be worth billions of dollars and would significantly ramp up the emirate’s gas production capability. The UAE consumes about 1.8 billion cubic feet per day of Qatari gas via the Dolphin pipeline and also has LNG purchase agreements with its neighbour. The Fujairah LNG terminal could catapult UAE forward to becoming a major regional LNG exporter, thus competing with its neighbour Qatar and reducing its dependence on imports. Two LNG trains The Fujairah liquefaction plant will include process facilities, flare and utilities, project watchers earlier said. LNG storage tanks, an export jetty — with an option for bunkering — and other associated facilities are also likely to be involved. The workscope could also include the laying of a new 52-inch gas pipeline from Habshan to Fujairah, with the capacity to handle up to 2 Bcfd. Adnoc LNG, a subsidiary of Adnoc, already produces about 6 million tpa of LNG from its facilities on Das Island off the coast of Abu Dhabi. The company is owned by Adnoc with a 70% stake, with Mitsui holding 15%, BP 10%, and TotalEnergies 5%.

Page 3 U.A.E: Masdar, NPCC sign deal to explore clean energy projects The National + NewBase Masdar, a global leader in renewable energy projects, has signed an agreement with the UAE- based National Petroleum Construction Company (NPCC), a leading engineering procurement and construction company and a subsidiary of National Marine Dredging Company (NMDC), to explore collaboration in offshore wind, green hydrogen, and other renewable energy technologies. Masdar is a major developer and investor in wind projects, which has major stakes in global projects such as a stake in the London Array, one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world, and in Hywind Scotland, the world’s first floating offshore wind farm, which became operational in 2017. This year, Masdar signed an agreement with Cosmo Energy Holdings Company, one of Japan’s largest energy companies, to explore the development of renewable energy initiatives, including offshore wind projects, in Japan. The deal was signed by Masdar CEO Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi and NPCC CEO Engineeer Ahmed Al Dhaheri at an event held in Masdar’s head office in Abu Dhabi. The companies will initially focus on collaboration in offshore wind and also explore extending their efforts to cover other sectors, including green hydrogen production and battery storage technologies. Al Dhaheri said NPCC continually explores new opportunities that align with its resources and engineering expertise in decarbonization projects in support of the UAE’s climate change action initiatives and long-term sustainable development vision. "Partnering with Masdar will undoubtedly contribute towards advancing energy transition in the country and open new avenues for clean energy integration and adoption," he stated. Al Ramahi said: "Masdar and NPCC share a common commitment to advancing the UAE’s leadership position in the energy sector and to driving sustainable growth." "By leveraging each other’s world-class expertise in our respective fields, our combined efforts could play a vital role in achieving the UAE’s clean energy objectives and support our nation’s net-zero commitment," he noted. Masdar, he stated, was also working in green hydrogen development, in collaboration with a number of international partners. In December, it formed a strategic alliance with France’s Engie to co- develop a UAE-based green hydrogen hub, with a planned investment in the region of $5 billion. Masdar and Hassan Allam Utilities last month co-signed agreements with leading organisations in Egypt related to development of green hydrogen production plants in the country, targeting an electrolyzer capacity of 4 gigawatts (GW) by 2030, he added.

Page 4 S.Africa largest producer and consumer of coal, relying on the fuel for about 80% of its electricity. Clyde Russell, Reuters News In South Africa's Johannesburg there is a scourge known as the Parktown Prawn, which is a actually a giant cricket. Reaching as long as seven centimetres (2.8 inches), the insect comes with a fearsome reputation of being hard to kill and even if successfully squashed, it leaves a black fecal matter that causes stains. Coal in South Africa is rather like the Parktown Prawn - hard to kill, dirty when you do, but also somewhat useful as it eats pests such as snails. A Transnet Freight Rail train is seen next to tons of coal mined from the nearby Khanye Colliery mine, at the Bronkhorstspruit station, in Bronkhorstspruit, around 90 kilometres north-east of Johannesburg, South Africa, April 26, 2022.Picture taken April 26,2022. REUTERS/Siphiwe Sibeko So when presidents, miners and lobbyists attending Africa's biggest mining investment conference earlier this week spoke of a "just energy transition", it was quite clear that the term is largely code for let's keep coal. A just energy transition first entered the lexicon with a formal agreement between South Africa, the United States, Britain, France and Germany last November under which $8.5 billion of financing would be mobilised to help South Africa decarbonise its economy. South Africa is the continent's largest producer and consumer of coal, relying on the polluting fuel for about 80% of its electricity generation. It is also the world's fourth-largest exporter behind Indonesia, Australia and Russia.

All reasonable endeavors have been used to ensure the accuracy of the information contained in this publication. However, no warranty is given to the accuracy of its content. Page 5 While South Africa's political leaders and mining industry remains committed to decarbonising the economy, dig a little deeper and the abiding attachment to coal and the jobs it provides becomes evident. President Cyril Ramaphosa, a former mining union leader, told the African Mining Indaba in Cape Town that the continent's resources were vital for energy security, for social and economic development and for cutting poverty. That all sounds reasonable, but Ramaphosa also used language that seemed to provide significant flexibility in how South Africa would meet its climate targets. "It is important as we undertake a just energy transition, we adhere to the principle contained in the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change of common but differentiated responsibilities and capabilities," he told the event. What this is likely to mean in practical terms is that countries like South Africa will want to keep coal for as long as possible and leave the heavy-lifting of getting rid of the fossil fuel to more developed nations that can afford it. SCHIZOPHRENIA The Minerals Council of South Africa also appears to be trying to have its cake and eat it, insofar as it remains committed to net-zero emissions by 2050 and describes climate change as an existential issue, but it also wants to keep coal jobs and presumably profits. Nikisi Lesufi, the council's senior executive of environment, health and legacy, started a media briefing at Mining Indaba with a plea to the reporters that they "shouldn't look at me as schizophrenic." He then outlined a position that may not meet the medical definition of schizophrenia but certainly was contradictory in nature, saying it was possible to reduce carbon intensity and protect the coal industry all at the same time. Much of what the council and its mining members are proposing is good news for climate concerns, such as using renewable energy to power mines and switching to clean vehicles, such as hydrogen- powered dump trucks. But these largely only address what are termed Scope 1 and 2 emissions, leaving the huge problem for coal of Scope 3 emissions, which is the pollution created when the fuel is burned. Talking behind the scenes to miners, officials and investors at the conference and it becomes clear that most expect coal-fired power to dominate in South Africa for an extended period, even though the likelihood of new power plants and mines being developed is getting lower. South Africa's energy dilemma mirrors that for other countries in similar situations. Coal is likely going to be hard to kill off in countries with vast domestic reserves and rapidly rising energy needs, such as India, Indonesia and even China. Countries that can exploit domestic reserves and largely control prices for the local market are likely to find that coal remains competitive with cleaner alternatives, and has the added benefit of providing numerous jobs.

Page 6 Germany to Stop Russian Oil Imports Regardless of EU Sanctions Bloomberg - Michael Nienaber Germany plans to stop importing Russian oil by the end of the year even if the European Union fails to agree on an EU-wide ban in its next set of sanctions, government officials said. Efforts to seal deals with alternative suppliers are progressing at the chancellery in Berlin and the government is confident it can solve remaining logistical problems within the next six to seven months, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity. With European Union foreign ministers meeting in Brussels on Monday to discuss the next round of sanctions, EU diplomats have floated a delay in the phased-in oil ban after Hungary objected, saying the step would be too damaging to its economy. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government is determined to push ahead with its national plan as part of Europe’s penalties on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, the officials said. The government hasn’t said which countries would make up the shortfall. Russia’s share of German crude consumption has already declined to 12% from about 35% before the war in Ukraine, according to the Economy Ministry in Berlin. Remaining challenges include getting enough alternative oil to a key eastern German refinery that relies heavily on Russian crude through the so-called Druzhba pipeline and is operated by Kremlin- backed producer Rosneft PJSC. The oil-processing plant in Schwedt, which is ensures fuel supplies for Berlin’s international airport, most fuel stations in the capital and the surrounding state of Brandenburg, will need to bring in alternative deliveries via the German Baltic port of Rostock. German authorities have established that an old pipeline linking Rostock and Schwedt can be used, but its relatively small size means it could only cover some 60% of the refinery’s full capacity for now, the officials said. Authorities are working to increase the pump pressure of the pipeline and

Page 7 modernize the infrastructure so that more oil can reach Schwedt. Also under consideration is covering the Berlin airport’s fuel demand from a different refinery, possibly in Bavaria. Non-Russian oil for Schwedt would initially come from a national reserve near the port of Wilhelmshaven, from where it would be shipped through the Kiel Canal to Rostock and from there through the beefed-up pipeline to the refinery. Since Rosneft is seen as having little incentive to switch suppliers for Schwedt, Germany is preparing legislation that would wrest control of the refinery from the Russian company as early as June 1. Netherlands, Qatar Oil sanctions and energy security are expected to be high on the agenda next week when Scholz travels to the Netherlands for talks with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte on Thursday and hosts Qatar’s emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, in Berlin on Friday. Shell Plc has suspended the sale of its stake in the Schwedt refinery and is in talks with the German government over its share after agreeing last year to sell it to Rosneft. The EU proposal seeks to ban crude oil over the next six months and refined fuels by early January. Hungary and Slovakia were offered until the end of 2024 and the Czech Republic until June 2024 to comply. All three rely heavily on Russian oil. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has suggested that any oil ban would need to be discussed by EU leaders at a summit. The next one is scheduled for late May.

Page 8 TotalEnergies launches worldwide drone-based methane emissions detection and quantification campaign Source: TotalEnergie s As part of its commitment to identify, quantify and reduce methane emissions linked to its operations, TotalEnergies has launched a worldwide drone-based emissions detection and quantification campaign across all its upstream Oil & Gas operated sites. The campaign uses AUSEA technology developed by TotalEnergies, the French National Research Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and University of Reims Champagne Ardenne. Since 2017, TotalEnergies has been working with its partners to develop greenhouse gas quantification technology known as AUSEA (for Airborne Ultralight Spectrometer For Environmental Applications). AUSEA consists of a miniature dual sensor mounted on a drone, capable of detecting methane and carbon dioxide emissions, while at the same time identifying their source. Measurements can be taken at all types of industrial facility, whether onshore or offshore, using this technology. It supplements measurements taken using traditional techniques such as infrared cameras, ground sensors and satellite. After being successfully tested at sites in Nigeria, Italy, the Republic of the Congo and the Netherlands, AUSEA technology is being rolled out this year at all upstream Oil & Gas sites operated by TotalEnergies. The campaign began in early March for African offshore sites, has now been launched in South America and will reach Europe this summer. The campaign is an important step towards achieving a reduction of 50% in methane emissions at Company operated sites by 2025 and of 80% by 2030 (targets in relation to 2020). 'TotalEnergies is committed to moving towards Zero Methane. Considered to be currently the most accurate technology in the world to detect and measure methane emissions, AUSEA will help us to refine our emissions calculations, and to take stronger measures to reduce our emissions even

Page 9 further in order to achieve the targets we have set', said Namita Shah, President, OneTech of TotalEnergies. The AUSEA technology is also being further developed to move from a manual to an autonomous mode in order to increase the frequency of methane emission measurements. Its deployment will also be extended to the Company's other activities, particularly at its refineries. Reducing methane emissions: a priority for TotalEnergies The Company already halved its methane emissions at its operated sites between 2010 and 2020 by targeting all sources (reductions in flaring, venting, fugitive emissions, etc.) and introducing stricter design criteria for new facilities. In line with the Glasgow agreements, the Company is setting new targets for its operated methane emissions for the current decade: reduction from 2020 levels of 50% by 2025 and 80% by 2030. The Company has also undertaken to keep methane intensity below 0.1% across its operated gas facilities. The Company is also enhancing its reporting as part of OGMP 2.0, the second phase of the United Nations Environment Programme’s Oil & Gas Methane Partnership. OGMP 2.0 outlines a reporting framework that encompasses the entire gas value chain and non- operated scope, including a breakdown of emissions by source, information on inventory methodologies and the use of airborne measurement campaigns. In 2021, TotalEnergies was awarded Gold Standard status. The Company is also a signatory of the Methane Guiding Principles.

Oil prices eased on Tuesday as Hungary resisted a European Union push for a ban on Russian oil imports, a move that would tighten global supply, and as investors took profits following a recent rally. Brent crude futures fell 37 cents, or 0.32%, to $113.87 a barrel by 0553 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures slid 50 cents, or 0.43%, to $113.70 a barrel. Both benchmarks gained more than 2% on Monday, following a 4% jump on Friday. Oil price special coverage

Page 11 EU foreign ministers failed on Monday in their effort to pressure Budapest to lift its veto of a proposed oil embargo on Russia following the country's invasion of Ukraine. An embargo would require approval from all EU nations. Still, overall sentiment on prices remained bullish amid optimism about demand recovery in China as it looks to ease COVID restrictions that have hurt its economy, analysts said. West Texas Intermediate rose 3.4% to the settle at highest level since late March. US gasoline futures topped $4 a gallon for the first time ever, while the national average retail price rose to a fresh record. Rising futures tend to trickle through to the pump quickly, signaling more pain for drivers when the summer driving season starts at the end of this month. “The stronger products get, the more optimistic the market gets on crude runs increasing this summer,” said Scott Shelton, an energy specialist at TP ICAP Group Plc. Buying in US timespreads -- or the difference between contracts for immediate delivery and those in the future -- picked up thanks to a decline in stockpiles at Cushing, Oklahoma. Inventories at the storage hub fell by about 2.629 million barrels in the week to May 13, traders said citing Wood Mackenzie data. The prompt spread widened to as much as $2.45, the largest gap since March. The tightness in US inventories put the day’s session on a rallying course. Earlier, futures retreated as China’s industrial output and consumer spending slumped in April to the worst levels since the pandemic began, while apparent oil demand and crude processing plunged. Strict lockdowns to halt the virus have curbed fuel use. Shanghai has been one of the hardest hit by virus restrictions, but there may be some relief on the horizon. The city reported a second day of no Covid-19 cases outside quarantine, putting it on the brink of meeting the three days of zero community transmission required to start easing a punishing lockdown.

Page 12 European Union foreign ministers meet in Brussels on Monday to discuss the next round of Russian sanctions and diplomats have floated the idea of delaying a proposed ban on its oil imports after objections from Hungary. Germany plans to stop importing Russian crude by the end of the year even if the EU fails to agree on coordinated action, according to government officials. Oil Steadies After Four-Day Surge as US Product Markets Run Hot Oil steadied after closing at the highest level in almost eight weeks as traders weighed strength in key products markets and data from China that signaled a possible easing of some anti-virus lockdowns. West Texas Intermediate traded below $114 a barrel after rallying more than 14% over the previous four sessions.. With just a couple of weeks to go before the start of the US summer driving season, gasoline has surged to a record on expanding demand coupled with restrained refining capacity. In China, meanwhile, Shanghai reported no new Covid-19 infections in the broader community for a third consecutive day, hitting a crucial milestone that authorities have said will allow them to start unwinding a punishing lockdown. Oil has rallied by more than 50% this year in extremely volatile trading as the war in Europe tightened supplies, while demand outside of virus-hit China picked up. WTI, the US oil benchmark, has been rising at a faster pace than Brent in recent sessions, eking out a gain last week while the global marker fell. That’s eroded its usual discount to Brent, with the pair now near parity. In Europe, a drive by the European Union to ban imports of Russian crude over Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine has been delayed amid opposition from Hungary. Josep Borrell, the bloc’s foreign policy chief, said the foreign ministers had decided to pass the deadlock back to ambassadors for more deliberations. “The EU’s rising tensions with Russia and the resulting uncertainties over the the bloc’s oil-and-gas supply remain front-and-center,” said Vandana Hari, founder of Vanda Insights in Singapore. “Having said that, with a $10 jump since last Tuesday, it’s hard to see much more upside in crude unless events take a sudden turn for the worse.” US crude stockpiles at the key storage hub in Cushing, Oklahoma, have contracted by about a quarter this this year. Holdings at the delivery point for benchmark US futures likely fell by about 2.629 million barrels in the week to May 13, traders said, citing data from Wood Mackenzie Ltd. Oil markets remain in backwardation, a bullish pattern marked by near-term prices trading above longer-dated ones. Brent’s prompt spread -- the difference between its two nearest contracts -- was more than $2 a barrel on Tuesday, up from less than 50 cents in late-April.

Page 13 NewBase Special Coverage The Energy world –May -01 -2022 CLEAN ENERGY Natural gas has the potential to expand significantly: GECF TradeArabia News Service + NewBase Natural gas has the potential to expand significantly over the coming decades among G20 nations and also propel South East Asia’s growth trajectory, said Eng Mohamed Hamel, Secretary General, Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF). Natural gas has a crucial role in satisfying growing energy needs, whilst contributing to air quality improvement and climate change mitigation; its share in the global energy mix is expected to increase from 23% to 27% by 2050, Eng Hamel said in his keynote at a G20 Webinar Event on ‘Escalating the Role of Gas in Energy Transition’. “The growing global needs for natural gas can only be met if investments are made in a timely manner. To this end, the GECF calls for policy support, stability and predictability,” he asserted. Upstream investments Citing figures from the GECF Global Gas Outlook 2050, the official said upstream investment requirements in natural gas amounts to $7.5 trillion, an enormous amount of funding especially since the GECF expects nearly 75% of global gas output in 2050 to come from new projects.

Page 14 The upcoming G20 Energy Ministerial under the Presidency of Indonesia signals an opportunity to emphasise the soaring role of natural gas in satisfying growing energy needs of G20 and recognise importance of natural gas for the World when “recover together – recover stronger”. He drew the attention of senior G20 and Southeast Asian energy experts that natural gas offers the balanced solution that the world seeks to achieve sustainable development goals in line with the United Nations 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement. Energy transition The increasing pace of global energy transitions and advancement of modern technologies, which unleash great potential of natural gas as a viable fuel, to enhance global energy security, eradicate energy poverty, and build flexible, resilient and sustainable energy systems, in synergy with other energy sources. According to him, technologies that lead to promising energy carriers such as hydrogen or decarbonise gas such as carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) need a policy push but also “the transfer of experience and best practices to help the developing world.” Turning to South East Asia, one of the most populous regions of the world with an increasing appetite for gas over coal, Hamel noted that gas demand in the region is expected to more than double to 350 bcm by 2050. Power generation Power generation will be the main driver for natural gas, as electricity demand will almost triple, propelled by urbanisation, rising income and cooling requirements. “The continuing development of LNG-to-power supply chains and interconnectivity will be key factors, facilitating the lure of LNG into the region that will bridge the widening gap between gas production and growing demand.”
