PNG LNG Summary PNG LNG Opportunities

The project is now in production phase characterized by reduced (slightly) direct economic opportunities (employment services and procurements), however these will still continue to be available through Esso Highlands Ltd (EHL) ‘National Content Plan.’ There will still be economic opportunities available through the project over the 30-‐year Production Phase, with an estimated spend with Representative Landowner Companies (Rep Lancos) and other PNG businesses generally of approximately K200 million per year for goods and services. Beyond this there are other active programs like the EHL Strategic Community Investments (Community Development Support Program) with annual funding support estimated around K14 million (US$5M) per year during the Production Phase. This program provides support for community-‐driven health, education and infrastructure projects. This extends to government funded infrastructure projects through the Tax Credit Scheme (schools; health facilities; staff housing; roads; communications; and water supplies). Strategies EHL provides opportunities through the Enterprise Centre (IBBM) for its National Content Plan, which will require the generation of alternative options as channels to securing business planning support to existing or new Rep Lancos and other PNG local businesses. Options for securing this market will include direct networking and approaches through existing Rep Lancos, through Provincial and Local Level (PG, LLG) decision makers or affected communities. For community-‐driven project opportunities this will need to be secured through NGO’s in the first instance, which will require business networking and direct approaches. There are options open to for-‐profit enterprises, which represent the most likely channel for securing (enterprise planning) projects for this program component, through direct networking with PGs/LLGs/affected communities (to determine which for-‐profits). PNGLNG Project (funded) Opportunities: Program 2014 2015 2016 National K200m K200m K200m Content Plan Strategic K14k K14k K14k Community Investments

State MOA Opportunities The project benefits sharing arrangements under the MOA (including seed capital, tax credit schemes, infrastructure development grants and high impact infrastructure projects), represent the largest channel for LNG related projects (health, roads, bridges, schools, other economic development). There are substantial funded project opportunities in the 2014 National Budget appropriations, making this channel the prime source for securing enterprise development (business planning support) opportunities.

Strategies The MRDC represents the most direct channel to network and secure project tender/application access and through this agency and to determine upcoming project opportunities (State funded). Relationships through the PMU needs to be prioritized in order to secure entrance to project tendering/application access. This channel will remain challenging for accessing direct tender opportunities through the highly volatile PNG State Tenders processes. At the State agency levels care needs to be taken in securing direct project access (undue influence risk) and therefore this channel will remain challenging. Beyond these constraints the most effective strategies will remain with networking through Rep Lancos and affected community structures to secure project opportunities.

PNG LNG Agreement Structure Regional Development Context

Broadly there are four (4) provincial government (PG) regions and associated Local Level Government (LLG) authorities included in the Petroleum Development License (PDL) areas: 1. Southern Highlands Province 2. Gulf Province 3. Western Province 4. Central Province Within each PG region there are around 117 impacted communities arranged into eight groups: 1) Hides

PNGLNG-‐Project Scoping Report

For the purposes of the CSS, the Project Impact Area (PIA) has been defined in terms of the following ‘Primary’ and’ Secondary’ areas: 2) Moran 3) Kutubu Primary: o Communities identified in the EIS as likely to be immediately and directly 4) Gobe and/or indirectly impacted by the Project; and 5) Kikori o Project ‘Land Owners’ as defined in the Oil & Gas Act, 1998. 6) Juha 7) Komo; and Secondary: 8) Konebada -‐oLNG Areas Plant Site and communities located beyond ‘Primary’ impact area but nonetheless potentially affected by the Project; and The project development as been arranged ccording to located a series beyond of PDL’s: o Areas,hcommunities and ainstitutions ‘Primary’ impact area that will directly or indirectly support the Project. i. PDL 1 (Hides 1) 2.2.1 Primary PIA ii. PDL 2 – (Kutubu project) The EIS3(2009) identified 117 communities that were likely to be impacted by the Project. iii. PDL /4 – (Gobe Project) The EIA grouped these communities into eight clusters: Hides 4: Moran; Kutubu; Gobe; iv. PDL 5 – (Moran Project) Kikori; Komo; and LNG Plant Site (Figure 3). These catchments for the most part v. PDL Juha; 6 -‐ Komo project contain culturally homogeneous groups, or groups which are co-resident within local vi. PDL 7-‐ Hides 4 APDL47 communities. Further details are presented in Appendix 1. vii. PDL8-‐ Angore The Oil and Gas Act 1998 (O&GA) defines a ‘Project area landowner’ as those persons with land rights within Petroleum Development Licenses or within the 5 km buffer zone inside or around dedicated Project facilities such as plant sites and pipelines. The majority of the Project area landowners fall within the area occupied by the 117 communities identified in EIS5. the PDL groupings:

Figure 3: Project Catchment areas (Primary PIA)

Agreements Framework The Hides catchment here includes parts of PRL11 Angore and Benaria. The catchment name has been retained for easier reference to, and subsequent comparison with, the 2005 PNG Gas SIA catchments. 5 Note that they PIA is effectively defined by the aggregation of these community boundaries. 4

The project benefits are structured according to two broad agreements: PGGP-EH-SPENV-000018-029 November 2010 • PNG LNG Umbrella Benefits Sharing Agreement (UBSA) -‐ Independent State of PNG, Rev 2 representatives of Project area landowners, and four provincial and ten local level governments executed the PNG LNG Umbrella Benefits Sharing Agreement (UBSA) in

PNGLNG-‐Project Scoping Report

•

May 2009. The UBSA was negotiated at a development forum, required under the Oil and Gas Act as a precondition of award of licenses for development of the Project. These agreements have an annexure that outlines different infrastructure projects that the Government will build for the affected project area landowners. Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the project is a commitment from the Government to build infrastructure project in the affected petroleum areas. The MOA projects are an agreement between the landowners, the State, PGs and LLGs, as opposed to those project submissions outside of the MOA list.

Some further definitions on the operation of MOA projects:

•

is a commitment from the Government to build infrastructure project in the affected petroleum area,

•

is not a commitment by the Government to write cheques to landowner associations, companies and even individuals,

• •

have already been agreed to between the landowners, the State, PGs and LLGs for each agreement, the State is not obligated to build any project outside of what is agreed in the existing MOAs,

•

those project submissions outside of the agreed list might be considered for funding through the normal budget process or through other government programs such the economic corridor concept.

The State through the National Executive Council (NEC-‐2011) has allocated management and implementation of all MOA infrastructure projects, to the Mineral Resources Development Company Limited (MRDC). Specifically the MRDC is the chief implementation agency (SOE) for the outstanding MOA infrastructure projects to affected landowner communities, through their Project Management Unit (PMU). The PMU main offices for operations are located at Moro with branches in Kikori and Hides.

Project Benefits Model Benefits Framework Landowners in the affected areas share in the project through direct and in-‐direct benefits:

Project area communities would also benefit from National Government Page 25 of 45 payments of seed capital and major infrastructure funding.

5.1.3.2 Calculation of Royalties, Equity Dividends and Development Levies The project benefits sharing structure comprises the PNGLNG UBSA and the PGGP-EH-SPENV-000018-029 2010 A detailed description how royalties, equity dividendsThe and development levies are State government (MOA) of infrastructure project commitments. MOA benefits are November Rev 2 calculated is provided in the 2009 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Social Impact the largest components of the benefits distribution process and are the direct responsibility Assessment (SIA) Appendix 26. A brief overview regarding the calculation of these benefits of State, Provincial and Local Government (seed capital, project grants, development levies, is provided in Table 11: Etc.): Table 11: Benefit Calculations Royalties

Royalties equal 2% of the well head value of petroleum produced, will be payable from First LNG. In line with the OGA 40% of landowners’ royalties is paid as cash and of the remainder, 30% to a community investment trust and 30% to a future generations trust.

Development Levies

Development levies equal 2% of the well head value of petroleum produced. Will be payable from First LNG and paid to impacted provincial & local-level governments.

Equity Dividends

Equity dividends will be paid to Project shareholders once the activity is profitable, in proportion to their respective shareholding percentages. Where equity shareholding is not free then receipt of dividends by recipients is dependent on financing conditions. In line with the OGA, 40% of landowners’ equity dividends are paid as cash and of the remainder, 30% is paid to a community investment trust and 30% to a future generations trust.

Tax Credits

Seed Capital

State Infrastructure Commitments

Under current legislation petroleum resource joint venture partners can spend up to 0.75% of their assessable income on Government approved infrastructure construction and maintenance. Under the PNG LNG Gas Agreement the State enacted legislation that will enable an additional 1.25% of the Company’s assessable income on what is referred to as ‘Approved Infrastructure Expenditure’, which in turn is defined as upgrades to existing, and construction of new, public roads and bridges. Some of the specific infrastructure is noted in the Gas Agreement. In the umbrella BSA the State committed to allocate a total of K120 million to the Project area landowner companies in accordance with guidelines to be set by the National Executive Council. Payment would be 20% on announcement of Early Works and the remaining 80% at the time of LNG Financial Close, with a sharing between PDL landowners and Pipeline/Plant site landowner in a 72/28 ratio. In the umbrella BSA the State committed to the expenditure of a total of K1.2 billion, over a ten-year period starting in 2010, on infrastructure construction and maintenance.

5.1.3.3 Benefits Distribution Representative Landowner Companies (Rep Lancos) established under the Umbrella At the umbrella BSA Forum the apportionment of the various statutory benefits arising as a result of the Project was discussed at length between representatives of impacted communities, provincial & local-level governments and the State, in particular sharing between beneficiaries in PDL and pipeline & processing facility (plant) areas. 5 5.1.3.4 Royalties

Based generally on this process, selected activities will be reserved for the Representative Lancos as discussed in Section 6.5.2. If a Representative Lanco’s star rating improves, they may be considered to perform more complex activities, providing that these activities are PNGLNG-‐Project Scoping Report sustainable. EHL will establish an Enterprise Centre to help Representative Lancos and other PNG businesses that will support the Production phase to become sustainable in the long term.

Benefit Sharing Agreement (UBSA) and the License Based Benefit Sharing Agreement (LBBSA), were direct recipients through contracts for project employment and procurements 6.4.5 The List of Representative Lancos during the construction phase: The list of Representative Lancos, current at the time of writing, is provided below. EHL’s Land and Community Affairs (L&CA) group may modify the list of Representative Lancos from time to time to reflect developments. Any change will be communicated to the EPC Contractors and other stakeholders. Rep Lancos (PNGLNG-‐ Construction phase) Area Hides - Angore – Komo Juha

PIP Number: 02452 Project Name: Tax Credit Program Executing Agency: 229 - Department of National Planning and Monitoring Objectives: 1. To extend by way of capital works and maintenance of Government's infrastructure on the national development priority sectors, the beneficial impacts of mining, petroleum and primary industry developments to the population of the host province and other parts of PNG; and 2). To assist where possible in developing aplanning and implementation capacity at either the Provincial, District, Local Government or Ward levels. Status: An ongoing program which is administered through the Department of National Planning and Monitoring. DNPM convened the first Tax Credit Scheme (TCS) Project Screening Comittee (PSC) and Project Appraisal Committee (PAC) meeting for the year on the 5th and 7th of May respectively. New Britain Palm Oil Ltd, Ok Tedi Mining Ltd, Porgera Joint Venture (PJV), Oil Search Ltd, and Hargy Oil Palm Ltd submitted proposals to the total value of K39,711,433.25. Initial approved infrastructure projects for implementation by the resource developers are progressing well and are on target despite little progress in other areas. During the 1st and2nd Quarter, 13 Projects were approved to be implemented were by the total amount earmarked for was K18,735,535.76 and the reminder was allocated for other TaxCredit Schemes within the country. Components: The program has six (6) main components: 1). Tranport Infrastructure; 2). District Administration Infrastructure; 3). Health Infrastructure; 4). Education Infrastructure; 5). Primary Industry Infrastructure; and 6). Other Infrastructure projects Location: The project will be implemented nationwide. Justification: It has been recognised that the provincial and National Governments have insufficient planning, engineering or contruction capacity in isolated regions to undertake infrastructure developments and that this inability has created discontentfor landowners, the people of the provinces and the developers involved. Capacity: The resource developers have the capacity to implement this program through various contractors involved. Beneficiaries: The people of PNG will be the beneficiaries of this Tax Credit Scheme Programme. Sustainability: Respective Provincial Governments through the Provincial Administrations to maintain and sustain the projects after the completion of each activity under the recurrent Budget.

Lancos (listed earlier) and PNG non-‐Lancos. Now that the project will be entering the production phase, there will be reduced supplier (procurements) and workforce employment opportunities for PNG local businesses (including Rep Lancos). However there will still be economic opportunities available through the project over the 30-‐year Production Phase, with an estimated spend with Rep Lancos and other PNG businesses generally of approximately K200 million per year for goods and services. General opportunities reserved for Rep Lancos include -‐ Labor, catering, camp maintenance, security, vehicles and drivers. The Production Supplier Development program for inclusion for these opportunities: •

PNGLNG (www.pnglng.com) Supplier Database registration;

•

regular supplier forums that will cover the scope of contracts, safety, standards of business conduct, invoicing requirements;

•

knowledge transfer from international companies to PNG companies; and

•

ongoing capacity building training programs executed via the Enterprise Centre.

The project delivers its Local Business Development Program through the Enterprise Centre, which in turn is located within the premises of the PNG Institute of Banking and Business Management (IBBM) in Port Moresby. The Enterprise centre provides: a) Build capacities of PNG businesses which will engage in some form of business activity with the PNG LNG Project; b) Develop and enhance the business skills of Papua New Guineans employed by the national supplier companies; c) Facilitate access to business finance; d) Provide business mentoring services; e) Provide business advisory services; f)

Ensure efficient communication with contractors and sub-‐contractors.

Strategic Community Investments (Community Development Support Programs) are voluntary programs (Community Investments and Tax Credit Arrangements) provided by the project to host communities, primarily in the Project Impact Area (PIA) in areas like health, education, sustainable livelihoods (Rural livelihood improvements and income generating opportunities) and environment. The budget is an estimated K14 million (US$5M) per year during the Production Phase. The program works in collaboration through local non-‐government organizations (NGOs) where possible or through for-‐profit service providers where these initiatives are beyond the NGOs’ capacity or not within their mission. Both program components cover health, education and infrastructure (including government approved investments). Tax Credit Projects and other infrastructure development funds (development levies, community investment trust monies, national government commitments) will be applied to improving basic social infrastructure in the Project Impacted Areas: schools; health facilities; staff housing; roads; communications; and water supplies. Tax credits are submitted to
