Russian oil • World largest exporter • World strongest expansion • Europe’s largest supplier • West, South, East, North • Large tanker companies Enormous energy infrastructure ports, trains, rivers, pipelines

Russian oil production stagnating? • May Russian oil production of 9.95 mbd (year-on-year decline for the 5th straight month • IEA Russian production flat in 2008 at 10.1 mbd • Higher and potentially year-round production from Sakhalin 2 counteracts (decline expected from Sakhalin 1) • Other 2008 increments from Vankor* and Salym W Siberia (0.12 mbd) • Rosneft expects: • 2.02 to 2.23 mbd in 2008 • 2.6 mbd in 2010 • 3.2 mbd in 2015, and • 3.4 mbd by 2020 Stagnation, geological or institutional? (*The Vankor oil will have to make the distance of 5,800 km (including 3,300 km – along the newly constructed pipelines) to come to the border with China near Skovorodino where the first stage of ESPO ends )

Turkish Straits – transit profiles – 4Q06/07 Number ships A slight decrease in overall traffic, more so by “hazardous vessels” and a significant drop in Gas Carriers, but….., (Note; all LNG carriers are >200m)

Russia opening new frontier The first tanker was loaded September 2006. Since then, on average every 3-4r days tankers have been departing with the Sakhalin-1 crude oil, Sokol, delivering the oil to global markets. Each tanker carries up to 720,000 barrels (100,000 tons) of crude.. Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Russia, September 27, 2007 To ensure safe export of crude in the severe winter conditions of the Tatar Strait, a dedicated fleet of double hull Aframax class tankers is made of cold weather steel to protect against fractures.

Exporting from difficult areas • Baltic - narrow waters, ice • Black Sea - narrow waters, weather - politics • North - weather and ice • East – long pipelines – short sea routes • Druzba - political Enormous infrastructure ports, trains, rivers, pipelines – tankers often a small part

Russian tanker owners Average 6.6 years Sovcomflot and Novoship among 15 largest tanker owners in the world Average 6.8 years Average 12.5 years Average 12.5 years Average 25.8 years World average age tankers 12.2 years Average 27 years + some 150 other tanker owners with mainly small tankers Total average age Russian tankers 22.5 years m dwt
Conclusion • Russia the energy superpower economic political • Energy and politics goes hand in hand oil east and/ or westwards? • New frontiers may be expensive and slow to open • Strong Russian tanker companies Future? I cannot forecast you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key? The key is Russian national interests. Sir Winston Churchill, 1939

Conclusion • Russia the energy superpower • Energy and politics is hand in hand – east and or west • New frontiers my be expensive and slow to open Strong Russian tanker companies Enormous infrastructure ports, trains, rivers, pipelines
Conclusion • Slower expansion in FSU oil export, but • Most Russian oil goes to Europe • Pipelines will in medium to long term take market shares • Safety record very good, trade served by modern tonnage • Many projects – uncertainty with regard to technical, geological, commercial as well as political factors
