Dear distinguished stakeholders, I would like to express my heart-felt gratitude to you for showing your generous interest and support for KOGAS at all times. As a result of our endeavors to promote energy welfare for the past 33 years, we have positioned ourselves as an eco-friendly energy corporation for the public by installing pipeline infrastructure network of 4,572㎞ and 69 storage tanks of 10.66 million㎘, achieving the natural gas distribution rate of 90.8% to local governments nationwide. We also conduct 24 gas and crude oil projects in 13 countries worldwide. Such efforts enable us to acquire overseas resources, contribute to stable supply and demand of energy and create added values with higher technological values. As such, we raise our prestige as a global energy corporation. And yet, stagnant demand, higher volatility, and accelerated competitions at home and abroad as the domestic natural gas industry enters a maturity stage requires us to transform our fundamentals. We are committed, internally, to rising higher again as a trusted corporation by stakeholders by establishing a culture of ethics and integrity and reshuffling our corporate culture. To this end, respect for human rights is reflected in our corporate management to befit the global standard based on the Charter on Human Rights Respect we have formulated. We diversify partnership models with suppliers by jointly advancing into overseas projects without being confined to the scope of the existing gas business in Korea. Our cooperation with the shipbuilding industry for a long period of time, in particular, has contributed to the development of the Korean shipbuilding industry driven by the spill-over effects of related industries, ranging from LNG carriers to FLNGs to LNG bunkering business. At the same time, we strive to reduce sustainability risks in the supply chain with diverse suppliers by formulating and operating the Code of Conduct for Suppliers. Seeking to take the initiative in fulfilling corporate social responsibilities, we provide natural gas infrastructure in a broader scale in islands and mountain areas with little access to energy including Jeongseon-gun, Goseong-gun and Jeju Island. We also keep our eyes on projects that improve the quality of life for local residents in countries with the presence of KOGAS: providing a playground for children in Uzbekistan and sponsoring the construction of a technical training class for youths in Mozambique. We will take the lead in achieving growth in the gas industry in the future and creating new values. Specifically, we will expand our roles in the new era of the eco-friendly hydrogen-powered transport fuel and establish a fuel cell-based distributed power network in order to address environmental problems such as micro dust under the new climate scheme of Post 2020. We will also launch new energy projects in a self-driven manner including LNG bunkering and LNG cold energy business to respond to stronger regulations in the maritime environment. Distinguished stakeholders, Driven by our cherished mission of ‘Creating a Better World through Better Energy’, we will do our utmost to make the next 100 years for a world with new, excellent and genuine future energy’ under the new vision of ‘Next Energy, with KOGAS’. Thank you. July, 2017 Seung-Hoon Lee, CEO and President of KOGAS 5 6 KOGAS Sustainability Report 2017 KOGAS The natural gas industry is segmented into upstream, midstream and downstream depending on the scope Business of activities: upstream prior to liquefaction, midstream for the liquefaction and transportation stage, and downstream for the post-transportation stage. KOGAS has established the entire business scope, covering from overseas resource exploration and development, and introduction and transportation of natural gases to Korea to their production, supply and sales. Supply and Demand Management for Natural Gases Import Volume for 2016 LNG Import and Transportation The amount of our LNG import has increased on a yearly basis up to 31,847,000 tons in 2016 since we 31,847 thousand tons imported LNG from Indonesia for the first time in Korea in October 1986. Given the nature of LNG being imported under a long-term contract of over 20 years, we conduct accurate demand prediction by using scientific models for statistical analysis. In order to secure stability in supply by acquiring the volume on time in line with increases in the domestic demand, KOGAS is seeking to diversify exporters in Brunei, Qatar, and Oman besides Indonesia and Malaysia.

In order to foster the domestic shipbuilding and shipping industries, we have proceeded registered LNG Carrier with a business policy on flag-registered LNG carriers, and utilized flag-registered carriers for LNG transport 21 since 1994. KOGAS placed orders for 21 flag-registered carriers up to date, and LNG flag-registered carriers in operation, built by five shipping companies have transported LNG to Korea from six countries – Indonesia, Malaysia, 6 carriers under Qatar, Oman, Yemen and Russia (Sakhalin). construction Russia Others Malaysia 1,863 (5.9) Brunei Australia Total 520 3,823 (1.5) 31,847 (12.0) Papua New Guinea (100%) 1,362 145 (0.5) ※ ‌Other countries for import: Algeria, Peru, (4.3) Equatorial Guinea, U.K. Singapore, Norway and 3,138 India (9.9) 4,689 (14.7) Indonesia 8 KOGAS Sustainability Report 2017 Production and Supply of LNG LNG imported through LNG carriers from natural gas producing countries from all over the world is unloaded in terminal divisions, stored in storage tanks, gasified again, and delivered to the nationwide LNG Storage Capacity 10.66 pipeline network. We run four terminal divisions of Pyeongtaek, Incheon, Tongyeong and Samcheok, and million ㎘ have a total of 69 storage ranks of 10.66 million㎘ – the world’s largest storage facility capacity for a single corporation. Regional divisions that are supplied with natural gases gasified from each terminal division securely supply natural gases, which go through each governor station (4 ~ 0.85MPa) up to pipelines of power plants and Total Extension of general city gas producers. Since our first natural gas supply from Pyeongtaek Power Plant in 1986, we Pipeline Network have supplied natural gases to 48 power plants and 32 city gas producers nationwide as of 2016 through 4,672km the nationwide pipeline network stretching up to 4,672km, and the city gas distribution rate of KOGAS (supply rate of local governments) stands at 90.8%.

    THE HOPE AND CRISIS OF PRAGMATIC TRANSITION: POLITICS, LAW, ANTHROPOLOGY AND SOUTH KOREA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School Of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Amy Beth Levine May 2011 © 2011 Amy Beth Levine THE HOPE AND CRISIS OF PRAGMATIC TRANSITION: POLITICS, LAW, ANTHROPOLOGY AND SOUTH KOREA Amy Beth Levine, Ph.D. Cornell University 2011 This dissertation demonstrates how the urgent condition of crisis is routine for many non-governmental (NGO) and non-profit organization (NPO) workers, activists, lawyers, social movement analysts, social designers and ethnographers. The study makes a contribution to the increasing number of anthropological, legal, pedagogical, philosophical, political, and socio-legal studies concerned with pragmatism and hope by approaching crisis as ground, hope as figure, and pragmatism as transition or placeholder between them. In effect this work makes evident the agency of the past in the apprehension of the present, whose complexity is conceptualized as scale, in order to hopefully refigure ethnography’s future role as an anticipatory process rather than a pragmatic response to crisis or an always already emergent world. This dissertation is based on over two years of fieldwork inside NGOs, NPOs, and think tanks, hundreds of conversations, over a hundred interviews, and archival research in Seoul, South Korea. The transformation of the “386 generation” and Roh Moo Hyun’s presidency from 2003 to 2008 serve as both the contextual background and central figures of the study. This work replicates the historical, contemporary, and anticipated transitions of my informants by responding to the problem of agency inherent in crisis with a sense of scale and a rescaling of agency.

CMCC-CM, INM-CM4, and IPSL-CM5A-MR RCP 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios were selected as the future dry conditions using Runs theory and Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI). For historical (1980–1999), present (2000–2019), and future periods (2030s, 2050s, 2070s, and 2090s) of the 6 scenarios, SWAT model was used to simulate the future dam water supply stability. The stability was evaluated in terms of reliability (RT), resilience (RS), and vulnerability (V) based on the monthly target storage. The results showed that the future RT can be decreased to 0.803 in 2050s IPSL-CM5A-MR RCP 8.5 scenario from present 0.955. The future RS and V showed the minimum value of 0.003 and the biggest value of 3567.6 106 m3 in 2070s IPSL-CM5A-MR RCP 4.5 scenario.
