3 Zohr Gas Discovery
• The Largest gas discovery in the Mediterranean. • One of the largest gas discoveries in The World. • 30+ TCF of GAS in place • 1.5km water depth , 100 km2 acreage, 220km from shore • Significant potential in adjacent Blocks
4 LNG imports act as bridge for next upstream production
Due to the ongoing energy shortage Gas balance (BCM) Egypt began importing LNG in 2015
2.8 A 500 mmcfd capacity Floating Storage and 2.8 Regasification Unit (FSRU) was installed 10.3 at the Port of Sokhna on the Red Sea and multi- 10 23.6 year deals have been concluded with LNG 15.3 39.4 3.6 5 43.7 sellers. 10.3 48 A second FSRU, with a capacity of 750 mmcfd, 0.3 0.4 49.3 48.3 was commissioned in November 2015 alongside 45.5 63 61.9 the first at Sokhna 61.3 57 48.5 47 44 41.6 46 45.1 36.1 28.9 In August 2015, Eni announced the Zohr 23.9 discovery, a new play opening find with an 18 14.7 12 estimated 21.5tcf of recoverable gas reserves. -1.4 -0.8 -0.7 -0.7 -0.7 -0.7 -4.8 With a fast track development planned, Zohr will -10.4 -9.4 -7.7 -3.7 -2.9 -8.7 -10.1 -11.5 help to reduce the need for costlier LNG imports. 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 This new source of gas will help Egypt to lower its cost of supply and, if followed by further Production online New gas production LNG LNG discoveries, could see Egypt return to a period of in 2015 (2015) imports exports energy self sufficiency

5 Egypt as the new Energy Hub in the Mediterranean
• Major recent huge gas discoveries (Zohr) • Oil & Gas infrastructure (LNG Facilities, Pipelines) • Centered looking in the middle of resource-rich countries and major energy consumers, as well as availability of major Int. Maritime Trade lines.

8 Natural Gas Supply vs. Demand vs. Consumption
Egypt consumption of Natural gas is increasing by higher rate than worldwide consumption Despite the drop of production in the last four years, turning Egypt from being a gas exporter to gas importer With the new discovery of Zohr, net gas imports are expected to be covered by local production.
Going forward, Egypt will witness a growth in natural gas production from “supergiant” Zohr. Producing currently 0.349 BCF per day, to reach 1 BCF per day in June and 2.7 BCF by end of 2019. Additionally importation through gas el sharq will start beginning of 2019.

12 Development of the Egyptian Gas Distribution Sector
13 Gas Distribution – Deregulation Development
The Main National Grid / Trunk line is constructed & Operated by GASCO (on behalf of EGAS) Everything down stream of the Pressure Reduction Station is within the cost of the LDC connection rate. Payments made “per converted customer”
14 Development of the Egyptian Gas Distribution Sector
From ONE state monopoly …
… to 9 private sectors & 5 state-owned LDCs/EPCs
8.8 Million customers connected Ongoing Distribution Activities Over 1 bn $ of Foreign & Local investment 16 Egyptian Governorates covered by Gas networks Regulator
Regulator 600 MM $ /Year Saved in subsidies P.R.S Enhanced HSE Standards Introducing new technologies Attracting the Multi-Nationals Social Investment – Jobs/Employment - Environmental Off Take Provide a better quality of life for Egypt’s citizens Typical Downstream Gas Network
15 Compressed Natural Gas “CNG” Business Model
Well developed gas grid; The end consumer price and margin are regulated; Conversion is undertaken only by the CNG companies; Local codes in place governing all technical and HSE aspects; Conversion loans were offered through CNG companies till mid. 2003, now through commercial banks; The Government is the sole supplier of the gas, and the sole owner of the supply grid nationwide
16 Deregulation Development – Egypt’s CNG Market

17 Market based Incentives: CNG Smart Card
Mechanism

No. of Vehicles Converted
18 18 Gas Sector Governance
The Egyptian Government has approved a new Gas Law.
• The new Gas Law, paves the way for a substantial reform of the gas sector. • The law mandates the creation of a new independent gas regulator. • Offering an opportunity to the private sector to enter and compete in wholesale downstream market segments, the existing shadow regulator finalized the gas transmission codes, gas transmission tariff, which will be published soon.
19 Lessons from Egypt - Making it work Supply and infrastructure
Role of private sector Full involvement of investors & distribution companies Capital intensive industry Slow but steady returns Involvement in the whole supply chain Consumer education Support from international institutions Commitment from international institutions Financing collective infrastructures Support for micro-credits Exchange of good practices Regulations developing adequate framework using experience from well established and structured market opting for a cylinder deposit system banning cross-filling establishing a licensing system
20 Lessons from Egypt - Making it work Access for poorer classes and implication of taxes developing an efficient network financing solutions such as micro-credit eliminate taxation of LPG and cylinders (import duties and VAT) harmonizing the tax system (in case partial taxation is maintained) Support from governments Stability of the political and legal systems Rules governing trade and investment Regulations concerning industry operating and safety standards Involvement in fair tax / duty treatment
Awareness & Consumer’s Adherence Openness to change education campaigns (schools, associations, role of village heads) - safety - applications advertising campaigns by marketers
21 Policy enablers, blockers and opportunities
Enablers •Strong multilateral support, FDI •Subsidy regime (initially) •Clear cost recovery model for LDCs •Free trade zones
Blockers •Cost recovery mechanism for upstream, power sector •Subsidy regime (later) •Regulatory environment •Customer payback •Security of supply for large industry •Connection fees •Monopsony buyer
Opportunities •Regional gas hub •Modernisation programme (subsidy phase out) •Regulatory reforms and capacity building (direct sales) •Efficiency opportunities
