• HE Chairman's visit to Qalhat Complex


The results of Oman LNG‘s continued strong business performance in 2012 show good stewardship by the different role players in the value chain— feed gas supplier, shareholders, employees, contractors and customers—that has facilitated the company’s primary obligation of supplying a key source of energy to its buyers and bringing the value of this endeavor home to the Sultanate.

Internationally, the demand for energy led to higher pricing with a barrel of oil averaging $112, which was slightly higher than its median price of about $100 per barrel in 2011, as the world economy began to stabilize and exit a period of recession.

Domestically, the demand for gas to power Oman’s growing energy needs have meant a more careful management of our gas resources.

Without doubt, the company continues to write its success story at home through the application of a robust social development programme that

has been effective in improving the quality of lives for Omanis across their many spheres of existence.

Now with the license secured for the establishment of an Oman LNG Foundation, the company’s long-term value addition to the country through social investment has been further assured.

Also in 2012, Oman LNG continued to emphasize the safety and integrity of its people and assets leading to the achievement of a remarkable 6.7 million man-hour LTI milestone.

Every effort should be employed in maintaining this standard to assure that no threat is posed to the safety and health of staff and contractors.

In the coming years, our main task will be to give our utmost with prudent management and attention to the production and export of Oman’s natural gas, in such a way that enables the nation derive the fullest benefits of this resource for the sustained progress of the nation and its people.

Directors to approve. Each committee met three times during 2012. As planned, these meetings were prior to the meetings of the Board.Board CommitteesThere are two Board Committees:1) Audit Committee and2) Management Remuneration and Succession Committee.The Audit CommitteeThe purpose of the Audit Committee is to provide an independent oversight of the systems of internal controls and financial reporting processes through a review of the quality, independence and effectiveness of internal and external audits. The Audit Committee reports directly to the Board of Directors via its Chairman and comprises non-executive members as follows: Government of the Sultanate of Oman: Three (3) representatives, including the Chairman; Shell: One (1) member;Non-Shell shareholders: One (1) representative chosen in rotation; Any Shareholder: One (1) technical representative agreed by the shareholders.The Audit Committee met four times in 2012. The meetings were attended by the Chief Internal Auditor and the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Financial Officer was present when the Statutory Financial Audit and Management Letter were presented by the Statutory External Auditor.

Audit Activities in 2012To ensure independence, the Chief Internal Auditor reports directly to the Chairman of the Audit Committee. In line with best practice, the Internal Audit department adopts a risk based methodology in proposing and executing its audit programme. Several assurance audits were also carried out by external parties, including theCompany’s External Auditors, Shareholders, International Standards Organizations (ISO), and the Technical Advisor. During the 2012 meetings, the audits carried out during the year were reviewed by the committee for levels of compliance with the control framework. In addition, the Audit Committee reviewed proposals relating to Anti-Bribery and Corruption (ABC) Guidelines as part of Company’s Code of Conduct and introduction of accounting policy relating to unpaid creditors. As part of its mandate to ensure an effective control is in place, the committee tracked the management's compliance with proper and timely closure of agreed audit actions. The Committee also reviewed audit reports, the management letter and associated Financial Statements for 2011 by the Statutory External Auditors for endorsement by the Board of Directors. Furthermore the committee discussed the implementation of the following Royal Decrees by the company:• Royal Decree No 111/2011 on the State’sFinancial & Administrative Audit Institution Law.

• Royal Decree No 112/2011 on the Conflict of Interests Avoidance Law.Management Remuneration and Succession CommitteeThe Management Remuneration and Succession Committee was established in November 2008 by a Board Resolution to ensure that Oman LNG continues to identify, and develop its leadership talent and provides it with rewards and incentives commensurate and competitive with market practices.The Committee reports directly to the Board of Directors via its Chairman and comprises non-executive members as follows: Government of the Sultanate of Oman: Three (3) representatives, including the Chairman;Shell: One (1) member; Non-Shell Shareholders: Two (2) representativeschosen in rotation. The first sitting of the Committee was held in 2009.The Company ManagementManagement of the Company implements an Enterprise-wide Risk Management (ERM) approach that provides a proactive framework of risk management and mitigates risks and their potential impacts on the achievement of company’s strategic objectives and goals.Each identified risk is assessed and appropriate measures are introduced to provide all reasonable assurances that threats will not materialise and in the event they do any adverse impact is minimised. The process and identified risks are reviewed annually.



Liquefied natural gas (LNG) continues to maintain a global position of relevance in the broader energy mix with demand forecast to double by 2020. In 2012, Oman LNG’s stable production of liquefied natural gas (LNG), contributing some three per cent (3%) to the total world supply continued to

provide comfort to our buyers. At the close of the year, we had successfully executed shut-down activities on Trains 1 and 3, critical work to ensure the overall reliability of the plant’s three-train operations. The Sultanate’s auspicious geographical location remains a boon to our ability to supply the two critical LNG markets of the Far East and the Atlantic Basin, and making the most of competitive pricing available for our cargoes that by the end of the year translated into a better financial result.

HSESustained emphasis on safety in every aspect of company’s activities and operations led to the milestone achievement by the end of the 2012 as we retained an unblemished safety record, reaching almost seven million man-hours without LTI and expect this trend, through a series of planned engagement and awareness activities, to continue as a standard and tradition in the company. Oman LNG continues to promote the culture of safety of every one with all staff encouraged to undertake an “I will” statement of his/her role in emphasising health, safety and the environment as a business priority. This focus will remain so across all levels of engagement with staff and contractors, as well as our broader family of stakeholders. Underscoring the safety of our people and operations will assure the integrity of our assets and earn the trust of all those we partner with.

OMANISATION Through a consistent investment in staff training and development, we are growing our Omani staff and positioning them to take on new challenges and responsibilities that will secure our place as a world class company that delivers quality service in the global energy industry. Aside from changes in the management cadre that came with the Omanisation of Chief Executive position, overall Omanisation at Oman LNG grew to 89.8 % and our strides in developing our Omani staff earned us a prestigious recognition award from the Ministry of Manpower.

TOUCHING LIVESAs Oman’s primary producer and exporter of the country’s

natural gas resource, our value to the country can only have meaning through the contribution we make to the national economy and our execution of a well-structured social investment programme that improves the lives of Omanis.To this end, we partnered with some responsible agencies in carrying out a number of key initiatives:• Ministry of Health—For supply of new equipment • Ministry of Higher Education—100 Scholarships for Omanis • Environment Society of Oman—Support for Capacity Building for Environmental Conservation • Oman Sail—Establishment of a professional sailing school in Sur

FUTURE OUTLOOKIn the future, we will concentrate our efforts in the following three areas: • Integration with Qalhat LNG• Oman LNG Foundation• Investments Our aim is to operate a sound foundation that continues to add great value to Oman and its people. This will require an investment strategy that grows capacity for people and organisations, meeting the needs of not only the present but future expectations of social investment based on sustainability. We are also looking forward to completing Oman LNG’s integration with Qalhat LNG presenting the world with same face of LNG supply from the Sultanate of Oman.

OUR RESULTSIn this annual report we are happy to share with you the progress we have made in the critical areas of our operations. We remain a trusted partner throughout the LNG value chain and in the growth, development and diversification of the economy of the Sultanate and its people.The management and staff of Oman LNG are extremely grateful for the continuing guidance of our shareholders, the Board of Directors and its Chairman for their support throughout 2012. We also recognise the opportunities that have been created for all of us through the continuing success of Oman, made possible by the vision and stewardship of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said.
