Kuwait is expected to see further increases in energy demand over the next twenty years

Strong increase in energy demand expected through 2030 Power demand is highly seasonal, peaking during summer Several sources of fuel will be needed:

Associated gas from additional oil production Non associated gas from new reservoirs Low sulphur fuel oil from heavy oil and new refinery Additional seasonal LNG imports

Develop Heavy Oil production in North Kuwait

Focus on optimizing recovery through primary, secondary techniques

Incorporate new production from exploration

Develop EOR capabilities before 2020 to ensure production can be ramped up

Realize the Potential of Gas

The discovery of nearly 35 trillion SCF of free gas has triggered ambitious targets for its development

Associated gas production will also increase with oil production targets

KOC is set to produce 4.0 BSCFD of gas by 2030, of which 2.5 BSCFD will come from non-associated gas fields

Drilling multilateral wells will significantly contribute to production optimization

First two multilateral wells drilled in S&EK, providing larger access to reservoir from one hole

Both wells have a total potential of 8000 bopd

Six horizontal well pilots were successfully implemented in NK for heavy oil development

Under evaluation their use to produce heavy oil, together with steam injection

Kuwait Integrated Digital Fields

Kuwait Integrated Digital Field initiative will allow KOC to optimize its production by

Improving the flow of data and information

Allowing more accurate and speedy decision making

This initiative will allow to increase our production by 7%

Developing Heavy Oil Production Capacity

We expect to increase our Heavy Oil production to 60 MBOPD by 2016, and to 270 MBOPD by 2030

Extensive pilots with Cyclic Steam Stimulation are in place

Production with horizontal wells is also being piloted, providing opportunities for field development using both vertical and horizontal wells

Liquefied Natural Gas: The Seasonal Gap Filler

Over next two decades, scenarios suggest seasonal summer surplus on global LNG supplies

KPC is analyzing several supply options from different countries

Kuwait has been receiving LNG supplies on ad-hoc basis

Conclusions

Primary energy demand will continue growing in Kuwait. Scenarios indicate that a strong annual growth of 2.8 % can be expected through 2030

Several sources of fuel will needed to supply energy needs, including gas, fuel oil and seasonal LNG imports

KOC have a clear roadmap in place to supply Kuwait’s energy needs

New technologies are currently under implementation to ensure such supply of fuel needs

Seasonal LNG imports may be needed during peek energy demand during summer
