COMPELLING REGIONAL CASE FOR GAS

Growing gas penetration

  • Low risk emerging market

(7% annual growth)

  • Gas increasingly

replacing other fuels

  • Stable demand with high gas

dependency

  • Strong domestic gas network
  • Circa 90% hydrocarbons

imported from Algeria

  • GME pipeline ownership

transitions to Morocco in 2021

  • New Gas Agency under

discussion

  • Circa 90% hydrocarbons

imported from Algeria and Russia

  • Recently introduced energy

policy to encourage commercialisation of domestic hydrocarbons

  • 10 year tax holiday
  • Thereafter 35% net government

take (30% Corporation tax and 5% royalty after 10.6 Bcf)

  • 37.9% government net take

(24% corporation tax ((FY2017

  • nwards)), 3.9% regional

income tax plus 10% royalty above 0.9 Bcf annually) Disadvantaged supply position Top quartile fiscal terms
