• We are experiencing a prolonged oil glut. Expected for many months.

• Markets have reacted following a fairly standard playbook.

• The LNG sector is also impacted, and implications are becoming clear.•• Where is there opportunity - 8 areas for exploration.

By the numbers:

• direct from OPEC's own publications.• global oil supply has increased from 85 to 90 m bbls/day from 2011.• About 4-5 m bbls per day• OPEC volume has only grown 500k bbls in that time• Rest of growth taken up by US Shale and Canadian oil sands

• Today oil supply is ahead of market by 1-2m bbls/day.

How OPEC has reacted.

• cheap oil should not make way for expensive oil• marginal products gaining ground - high prices promotes investment• shale is everywhere, technology migrates quickly, highly motivated oil buyers• cuts to production last time resulted in permanent share loss• GHG concerns - after coal, oil next big GHG source. China and US rules• rise of renewables, batteries, energy efficiency• could oil be stranded• stone age ended before we ran out of stones

How Markets have reacted:

• job losses - concentrated in services. few in oil and gas. Lesson from the lastdownturn.

• grey gold retained. Few buyout packages• capital cutbacks – the headline numbers hide the opportunities.• concentrated among western businesses (not NOCs)• equipment stacking - on shore rigs, work over, off shore, services equipment,

rail cars• asset write downs - cheaper now to grow financially rather than through the

drill bit

Impact on LNG in Australia:

• pricing - spot and oil linked both depressed. Oil pricing craters future revenuestream

• jobs, capital spend, supply chain pressure, royalties all under strain• consolidation happening - Shell-BG, Seven Group• project cancellation in NA (US, Canada)• M & A - Apache asset divestiture. Private equity interest appearing -

Macquarie Bank• Asset monetisation to pick up pace - capital required for gas supply• Future expansion potential - greenfield penalty

Slide 8 - Drivers, Enablers for Opportunity

• distress - ratings downgrades, capital constraints, capability limits• technology advancement - small scale conversion technologies, new materials,

digital• new leadership - Shell sat out last round of consolidation in part because of

cautious leadership. Senex, Origin LNG, suppliers• new government - looking for employment (rising rate), capital ledger has

disappeared - no more major capital projects on the docket• climate pressures - US, China - could increase demand for green technology.

EPA passing tough new CO2 rules, China trying to cap coal. New power plantsbeing built are dual fuel

• capital liquidity - US invested 1.5 trillion into shale revolution, that capital nowlooking for new places to invest

• demographics - 2.5b people to move from rural to urban by 2030. 600mAfricans lacking access to power

8 hot opportunity areas:

1. maintenance and sustainment - ever growing volume of wells, infrastructure.Slow start ups, low prices have pushed some suppliers out of market. Will runto life of well, could be decade. Turnarounds and shutdowns - no solution yetto how Australia will handle turn arounds

2. asset optimisation - true gas flows and volumes, water volumes, revealsproblems with designs. steady demand to optimise asset mix, usage,volumes.

3. new business models - third party asset ownership (APA pipeline),outsourcing, contracting for gas not assets. data, data, data. run to fail or runto production target

4. outsourcing - significant amount of layoffs, no desire to add that capacityback. Should drive interest in third party services contracts

5. new technology - drilling, pipe laying, materials (fiberglass), downholesensors, reliability

6. international growth - PNG projects look promising. Canada close tosanctioning. US already recruiting locally

7. asset monetisation - farms, gathering, compression, gas plants, pipelines,embedded assets (power, telecoms), well heads. other balance sheetsstanding buy - liquidity, take or pay, risk reward. Shareholder alignment

8. community development - Gladstone, Tba, Roma, etc.
