First, attached to this letter is a copy of Royal Dutch Shell’s (“Shell”) report on project-level payments to governments, including payments made in China and Qatar, which was published in April 2016, in compliance with the United Kingdom’s regulations implementing the European Union (EU) Accounting Directive. Second, this letter provides additional evidence that foreign extractive companies’ contracts in Qatar regularly contain carve out provisions permitting issuers to comply with their legal and regulatory obligations by disclosing information that might otherwise be considered confidential. The !merican Petroleum Institute (“!PI”) originally claimed that four countries – Cameroon, Angola, Qatar and China – might have laws prohibiting Section 13(q) disclosures, and thus OXFAM AMERICA 1100 15TH STREET, NW SUITE 600 WASHINGTON, DC 20005 TEL +1 (202) 496 1180 FAX +1 (202) 496 1190 www.oxfamamerica.org required blanket exemptions/ In denying !PI’s request for a stay of the 2012 Final Rule pending litigation, the Commission concluded that the evidence supporting those claims was “unpersuasive/”1 No additional evidence of any disclosure prohibitions has been submitted since then.

Round 2.4 attracted 29 oil and gas companies from around the world including Royal Dutch Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Pemex, Lukoil, Qatar Petroleum, Mitsui, Repsol, Statoil and Total, among others. Round 2.4 included 60% of all acreage to be offered by Mexico under the current Five Year Plan. Blocks included 29 deep water contract areas (shown in the adjacent map) with an estimated 4.23 billion Barrel of Oil Equivalent (BOE) of crude oil, wet gas and dry gas located in the Perdido Fold Belt Area, Salinas Basin and Mexican Ridges. The blocks were offered under a license contract, similar to the deep water form used by the CNH in Round 1.4. After witnessing the success that companies like ENI, Talos Energy, Inc., Sierra and Premier have had in Mexico over the last several years, Round 2.4 was the biggest opportunity yet for the industry. Some of these deep water contract areas were particularly appealing because they share geological characteristics with some of the projects in the U.S.

    Qatar: Governance, Security, and U.S. Policy Updated August 27, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R44533 SUMMARY R44533 Qatar: Governance, Security, and U.S. Policy August 27, 2021 The State of Qatar, a small Arab Gulf monarchy which has about 300,000 citizens in a total population of about 2.4 million, has employed its ample financial resources to exert Kenneth Katzman regional influence, often independent of the other members of the Gulf Cooperation Specialist in Middle Council (GCC: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, and Eastern Affairs Oman) alliance. Qatar has fostered a close defense and security alliance with the United States and has maintained ties to a wide range of actors who are often at odds with each other, including Sunni Islamists, Iran and Iran-backed groups, and Israeli officials. Qatar’s support for regional Muslim Brotherhood organizations and its Al Jazeera media network have contributed to a backlash against Qatar led by fellow GCC states Saudi Arabia and the UAE. In June 2017, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain, joined by Egypt and a few other governments, severed relations with Qatar and imposed limits on the entry and transit of Qatari nationals and vessels in their territories, waters, and airspace. The Trump Administration sought a resolution of the dispute, in part because the rift was hindering U.S. efforts to formalize a “Middle East Strategic Alliance” of the United States, the GCC, and other Sunni-led countries in the region to counter Iran. Qatar has countered the Saudi-led pressure with new arms purchases and deepening relations with Turkey and Iran.
