2. Business Environment

The Gulf of Guinea is an increasingly significant supply source


The Gulf of Guinea:-

1. has a significant reserves base

2. is geographically ideally-positioned to
   meet the increase in demand

3. has proved its ability to deliver reliably
   substantial gas to the global market         Text

Slide 7
2. Business Environment

There is an increased role for independents

                             Traditional LNG Model
 • LNG value-chain dominated by the Majors
 • Majors offered expertise, technology and strong Balance Sheets


                               Recent LNG Model
 • The National Oil Companies have sought to realise the benefits of resource-
   ownership but have been constrained by people and finance
 • Barriers to competition which protected the Majors have broken down
 • “Demand holders” (utilities, industry) are seeking to go up the chain




                          Space for Gas Independents
 New niche gas independents can now compete – offering LNG expertise – by
 forming partnerships along the gas chain

3. Access to Gas

• aggregating small-scale reserves for delivery to conventionally-sized facilities;
or
• using innovative technology such as floating LNG (> 1 tcf)
