Future Plans & Projects

3

Current exports to KNPC are about 1.25 – 1.40 BSCFD Rich Gas &

about 50 M BLPD condensate. The total gas production after

development of all phases of Jurassic, KGOC and ‘Others’ is aimed at

about 4.0 BSCFD by 2030.

KOC has a corporate mission to achieve gas flaring of < 1% of its

production by end of 2012-13. Currently it is ~ 1.15%.

KOC is building new booster stations and new rich gas & condensate

export pipelines in all assets to increase reliability / availability of surface

facilities.

New large diameter fuel pipelines are being built to feed power stations

with alternate / back-up fuels besides gas, supply of which is limited.

New motor-driven Tank Vapor Compressors (TVCs) are replacing old

machines and efficient air-assisted flares are replacing obsolete flares

thereby maximizing gas utilization.

Notes:

1. Asset-wise Flaring Targets as finalized with assets.

2. EPF-50 figures include acid gas & hydrocarbon gas Flared

3. WK figures include gas flared in WK on account of non-availability of KNPC AGRP & hydrocarbon gas flared at GSF

4. For monetization of flared gas / savings, the budget 2011-12 (May 2010) values of “Basis for Economic Evaluation” have been used.

5. June Gas price of 4.5$/MMBTU is considered.
