8. Risks (uncertainties) for Russian Gas Sector’s Development Uncertainty for export expectations Uncertainty for export prices and contracts Uncertainty for technologies Uncertainty for transit Risk Degree High Medium Low 8

9. Uncertainty for Export Expectations 9 Risk of decrease in export expectations on 15-20 % 15-20% Factors of decrease in export expectations Europe: competition growth (LNG, Nabucco) US: refuse of future Russian LNG (the boom of shale gas production) Asia-Pacific: competition growth (Central Asia) Russian Gas Export forecast up to period 2030 Russian gas export forecast (high level from ES-2030) Russian gas export forecast (low level from ES-2030) Russian gas export forecast (IES expectations)

10. Uncertainty for export prices and contracts 10 Price expectations are overestimated… Forecast for Russian gas export prices up to period 2030 (The Ministry of Economics of Russia) Factors of decrease in price expectations High volatility of oil prices Rapid development of spot trade trade in natural gas Decrease in the regional prices on LNG Price situation in 2009 Price, USD./bln. cub. m Russian gas (long-term contracts, Europe) 288 LNG (US, Henry Hub)147 LNG (Great Britain, NBP)142 LNG (Japan, Korea)260 LNG (Chine)160 USD/1000 cub. m

11. Uncertainty for transit Russia-Ukraine - long-term reliability of transit - deterioration of Ukrainian Gas transmission system - Transit price for Russian gas Russia – Central Asia - Sufficiency of gas reserves - Competition for Central Asia’s gas with Chine - Competition for Central Asia’s gas with Europe (Nabucco) - Throughput expansion of Gas transmission system between Russia and Central Asia (Pre-Caspian pipeline) 11

12. Uncertainty for technologies 12 Shale gas production: outlook for Europe and Chine Limits for Renewables in Europe prices, economy, ecology Gas production in Arctic region climate changes LNG production in Arctic region climate changes

13. Overcoming ways to uncertainties for Russian Gas Sector’s Development Change Изменение вектора развития газовой отрасли - From export orientation to the domestic market - From deliveries of fuel gas to gas processing - From pipeline to LNG - Change of principles for Arctic development : a support on ecological and economic expediency Revision of investment projects - Selection of priority projects from among declared in ES-2030 - Refusal of a number of ineffective projects-giants (the Southern stream, etc.) Flexibility of gas export policy - Revision of pricing system in long-term contracts of Gazprom - Flexibility increase in mutual relations with Ukraine and Central Asia Technological breakthrough - Decrease in the cost price of extraction of natural gas on the Arctic shelf - Development of LNG infrastructure - Start of projects on extraction of nonconventional gas (shale gas, low-pressure gas, ets) 13
