PETROMIDIA REFINERY: STATUS REPORT Current Status and Achievements

 Rompetrol Rafinare has developed interconnections for a perfect synergy with Petrochemicals and Vega refinery by increasing value of unfinished products.  In 2006, a dedicated program was launched to upgrade and optimize existing units in order to increase energy effectiveness and profitability.  Since 2006, continuous dedication of the refinery personnel (supported by technical consulting companies) had a decisive contribution to: • energy efficiency (decreasing EII from 121 to 118) • technological losses (decreasing from 1.34% from total production to 0.65%) • optimization of refining operations (implementing little or no capital projects)  As a result of this program, 90 millions USD were saved since 2006.  By investing in people, Rompetrol Rafinare has created the tools for a sustained performance increase in the future.

 In 2002, we foresaw a general tendency for increased diesel consumption in Europe.  Furthermore, fuel specifications became more and more restrictive, moving towards the Euro 5 carbon emissions standard.  A general trend in the refining industry was to convert heavier and sour crude into European fuels.  This trend was transformed into reality by Rompetrol and other major players in the refining sector by investing in deeper conversion units and cleaner technologies.  In 2005, Rompetrol Rafinare began this ample investment program. PETROMIDIA REFINERY: INVESTMENTS Background

 Major drivers for investments in Petromidia refinery: • Environmental protection requirements • Fuels quality moving towards Euro 5 standard • Energy efficiency

 Rompetrol Rafinare had a continuous investment increase since KMG is shareholder: • 2008: 93.4 mil USD • 2009: 100.8 mil USD • 2010: 131.8 mil USD • 2011: 216.2 mil USD* (*estimated)

 Major investments 2008 – present • “Willacy” unit for processing of historical oil residues accumulated since refinery start-up • Gasoline tanks modernization for compliance with Volatile Organic Compounds directive • Jetty 9 in Midia Port modernization and 350% increase in transit capacity • Open new marine oil terminal (Buoy),to decrease operational costs of petroleum logistics • Turnaround of the Rompetrol Rafinare Units PETROMIDIA REFINERY: INVESTMENTS Package

 As part of major projects, Rompetrol started a comprehensive program in order to: • Align fuel production with Romanian and European legal requirements regarding fuel standards, namely Euro 5 (sulfur content of 10 mg/Kg) • Operate the refinery in accordance with the Romanian and European environmental legislation • Increase the sour crude processing capacity from 3.9 mil t/y to 5 mil t/y • Increase fuel selectivity to diesel production from 37% to 45% total yield • Increase the safety level and mechanical availability of the refinery PETROMIDIA REFINERY: INVESTMENTS Package

 The investment program contains nine major projects: Already completed in 2010: • Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit revamping • Claus Unit revamping To be operated in Q4 2011: • Amine Unit revamping • Upgrade from VGO to DHDS unit • New Air Separation Unit (ASU) • New Flare system To be completed in Q1, 2012: • New Mild Hydrocracking Unit (MHC) • New Hydrogen Unit • New Sulfur Recover unit  Since 2005, Rompetrol Rafinare invested $234 million in this program.
