  1. “The Global Quest for Energy Security”Oil & Gas Security Focus Sami Alnuaim, SPE President USAEE Annual Spring Conference Washington DC April 24, 2019

  2. Technical Challenge – Global Supply Technology Led to Higher O&G Reserves Despite of High Historical Production Global Oil Reserves (46%^ in 20 Years) Global Gas Reserves (51%^ in 20 Years) 2017 2017 2007 2007 1997 1997 • 2018, the best year for global O&G exploration since 2015. Discovered resources have already surpassed 8.8 boe • In 2019, so far 3.2 boehave been discovered in Q1 Sources: 2018 BP Statistical Review & Rystad.com: Only Conventional O&G

  3. Technical Challenge – Shale Technology 2008 • Technologies: • Hydraulic fracturing • Multilateral drilling • Smart well completion • Industrial Revelation (IR4.0) • New business model: • Supply chain integration US Production= 5,180 MB/D in April 2009 US Production= 12,200 MB/D in April 2019 2018 www.eia.gov

  4. Environmental Challenge – De-Carbonization Defining and Leading the Global Energy Transition: • Increasing Natural Gas in Power Generation • Increasing Renewables in Power Generation • Reduction in Gas Flaring • Increasing Crude to Chemicals • Increasing Carbon Capture, Storage & Use • Decreasing Carbon Intensity • Increasing Energy Efficiency • Increasing Carbon Conversion • Oil & Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI) • De-carbonization in all O&G Supply Chain • Circular Economy, Recycling, Reuse, ….etc. www.iea.org
