CTO/CTP OPERATING PLANTS IN CHINA

Impacts of coal to chemicals in China and beyond

n  Coal to chemicals (CTC) projects changing the industry, especially in the value chains of CTO, C to MEG, C to urea, etc.

n  CTC processes consume a large amount of water and discharge a large amount of carbon dioxide; most of the coal resources located in water-deficient and eco-environment fragile inland areas

n  Evident in Twelve Five-Years Plan that Government is taking measures to control the growth pace of CTC to prevent the disorder of project development

n  Technologies are feasible, but CTC projects will develop in carefully-planned manner

n  Consequently, some impact on the Chinese/global chemical industry, but scale moderate in next 5 years

19

PP: BD\Bahrain\GPCA Seminar 2012\Seminars\Asian Megatrends - Andrew Spiers

n  Technically recoverable resources in key Asian nations est about 1 400 Tcf (EIA)

n  Majority in China (1 300 Tcf), India (63 Tcf), Pakistan (51 Tcf)

n  Data is scarce, so estimated figures highly subjective/questionable

n  China most advanced in shale gas development: -  PetroChina/Shell alliance have drilled first shale gas well -  Potential to displace some gas imports for Asian nations

attractive

n  China 12th FYP target for shale gas production: 50-80 bcm pa by 2020; very ambitious

n  Nexant est China shale gas production could reach 10 bcm pa by 2020; other Asian countries like India expected to struggle to reach significant production : Impact on the chemical industry?

n  Production challenges: water availability, disposal and potential contamination; lack of gas transport infrastructure/ deep reservoirs

Negative trade implies net import position

n  Building greater inter-dependence between ME & Asia; further implications for global investment

21

PP: BD\Bahrain\GPCA Seminar 2012\Seminars\Asian Megatrends - Andrew Spiers

Asian Opportunities: Implications for Middle East Players (I) n  Export existing products – more of the same, deficits clearly there – Asian

investments will not be able to keep up. Assuming the same competitiveness can be achieved in ME?

n  Export more diversified products – logistics more of an issue, accept reduced competitiveness. This against backdrop of more diversified investment in Asia, thus competitive intensity to increase

n  Asian companies becoming larger and international appetite increasing. Expect to see more overseas investments:

-  First wave: Japanese, Korean companies

-  Second wave: Thai, Chinese companies

22

PP: BD\Bahrain\GPCA Seminar 2012\Seminars\Asian Megatrends - Andrew Spiers

Asian Opportunities: Implications for Middle East Players (II) n  Oil & gas rich players in the Middle East likely to acquire further businesses in

other geographies as means to process hydrocarbons close to market

n  Investing in Commodities

-  Why? To add value to hydrocarbons – Aramco, KPC, QP

-  Impact: Steady stream of investments

n  Investing in Diversified products

-  Why?

-  What do ME players bring?

-  Limited investment expected

Over time interdependence between the Middle East & Asia will continue to grow!

Shale gas and oil production utilizes fully proven techniques SHALE GAS HORIZONTAL DRILLING AND HYDRAULIC FRACTURING

Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have made it feasible to extract huge amounts of natural gas trapped in shale formations.

Shale

Gun charges blast holes through the well casing and into the surrounding rock

Sand, water and chemicals pumped in at high pressure further fracture the rock

Gas escapes through fissures propped open by sand particles and up to the surface

PP: BD\Bahrain\GPCA Seminar 2012\Seminars\North America – Bruce Burke

Shale reserves are extensive throughout much of the United States and Western Canada

PP: BD\Bahrain\GPCA Seminar 2012\Seminars\North America – Bruce Burke

Economics of shale gas production are driven by recovery of liquids

n Case 1: Gas only $4,000 per day of revenue

n Case 2: Recovery $31,400 per day of condensate

n Case 3: Recovery $34,600 per day of condensate and LPG

Not surprisingly, shale gas preferentially is produced in association with liquids

Shortfalls have developed in a number of naphtha by-products

n  Ethane cracking primarily produces ethylene, whereas naphtha produces significant yields of by-products

n  Balances for propylene, butadiene and benzene have all tightened in the U.S. and globally as traditional supplies from U.S. naphtha cracking have declined

n  Higher prices have provided incentives for increased production from refining

n  Higher prices have also improved the economic attractiveness of alternative production routes, including from renewable sources
