ABCD Gas Market Report Advisory May 2010 1 Executive summary KPMG have been engaged by the Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association (APPEA) to undertake a study of the natural gas market in Australia, its structure, efficiency and future outlook. The purpose of the report is to assist APPEA in establishing a current base of information to communicate with its stakeholders. The topics covered in this Gas Market Report include: • an overview of Australian gas reserves and resources; • the nature and structure of the Australian natural gas market; • factors affecting the commercialisation of domestic gas resources (including those for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) export); • the impact of the gas export market on the efficient operation of the domestic gas market; • analysis of potential impacts of interventionist policies aimed at domestic gas volume/price control; and • an outlook for the Australian gas market. Gas production in Australia services both domestic gas demand (56%) and the export LNG markets (44%).1 While coal is the predominant fuel in Australia, the use of natural gas has accelerated at a rate greater than that of coal (average consumption of gas has increased by an average of 3.5% pa, compared to 2.4% pa for coal). The strong growth to date has been driven by sustained population growth, strong economic growth, alongside its competitiveness as a fuel source and governmental policies to encourage its uptake.2 The outlook is furthermore positive, as gas is projected to be the fastest growing fossil fuel over the period to 2029-30.3 Primary gas consumption is projected to rise by 3.4% per year, its share of primary energy consumption projected to rise to 33% by 2029-30.4 This forecast growth in demand is driven primarily by the electricity sector, as the share of gas fired generation (GFG) in the energy mix is projected to increase considerably over the medium to long term, reflecting the shift to less carbon intensive fuels in a carbon constrained environment.5 While Australia accounted for 2% of world gas reserves and production in 2008, it is the world’s six largest LNG exporter, accounting for 9% of the world’s LNG trade in 2008.6 Since 2006-07, gas exports have increased by 12%.

Background – About Shell Shell2 is a global group of energy and petrochemical companies, with its headquarters in The Hague, the Netherlands. Shell operates in over 70 countries around the world and employs around 94,000 people. In April 2015, the Boards of Royal Dutch Shell plc and BG Group plc agreed the terms of a proposed merger. The parties are targeting completion of the transaction in early 2016 and are currently seeking regulatory approvals in a number of jurisdictions. Subject to obtaining these approvals, the companies’ shareholders will then be asked to support the proposal. Shell in Australia Shell has been in Australia since 1901 and the Australian business forms an important part of Shell’s global natural gas business. Historically, our significant investments in Australia spanned across both the downstream and upstream sectors. In 2014 Shell sold its downstream refining, marketing and retail distribution operations to Vitol, and our business is now largely focused within the upstream sector – although Shell continues to supply aviation fuels and lubricants. 1 “Shell Australia” refers to Shell Australia Pty Ltd or any of the members of the Australian tax consolidated group of which Shell Energy Holdings Australia Ltd (SEHAL) is the head company.
