 Programme

Wednesday, 24 November 2010

Main Event – DAY 1
09:00 – 10:20 Keynote Economists Session (PLENARY)
“Assessing the Ramifications of a New Macroeconomic Environment on Oil and Gas”

Market uncertainly and fears of contagion coupled with the differing financial fortunes and growth projections of OECD and non-OECD
countries have ensured today’s global economic picture has never been more complex to understand and map. In this special session we
welcome a cross-section of leading industry economists to explore this complex landscape, the key factors that are driving and shaping it,
the dynamics underpinning it and the ramifications these have for the oil and gas industry and commodity prices in the short, medium and
long-term. Points of discussion include:
• What are the emerging factors influencing post-crises energy economics; new energy policy, refinery woes, resource nationalism,
financial and regulatory reforms?
• The impact of sovereign debt fears, defaults and bailouts on the financial and investment communities: what are the implications for
the energy industry?
• What consequences will continued volatility in currency prices have on oil and gas investment/equities?
• Future supply-demand expectations/projections: is Chinese and non-OECD [demand] growth sustainable?
• Future oil & gas price forecasts: will we see a $100 oil ceiling or a $100 floor, and when, if ever, will natural gas prices fully recover?

Session speakers include:

• Jeffrey Currie, Global Head, Commodities Research, Goldman Sachs
• Dr Francisco Blanch, Global Head, Commodities Research, Bank of America–Merrill Lynch
• Dr Christof Rühl, Group Chief Economist and Vice President, BP

11:00 – 12:20 Keynote CFO/FD Session (PLENARY)

“Views from the Financial Trenches: Implementing Financial Strategies and Practices to Ensure New Growth against a Backdrop of Market
Uncertainty and Increasing Regulatory Scrutiny”

The role of the CFO/FD has never been more important in determining the future success of an oil and gas company. Having endured
the most testing financial environment in our lifetimes their mindsets must quickly transition from survival to new growth. We’ve gathered
a number of seasoned veterans to reflect on the lessons they have learned following the crises, how their priorities have changed, the
leadership qualities they relied upon and how they are overcoming the challenge of juggling cost reduction, balance sheet restructuring,
investing in new growth opportunities and optimising cash flow. Points of discussion include:
• Resilient and innovative financial leadership; what does it take to manage and grow a world-class oil and gas company in today’s
markets?
• Ensuring financial stability and new growth: what strategies and practices are CFOs/FDs adopting?
• Addressing the big challenges facing CFOs/FDs today (shifting business models, debt restructuring and balancing debt vs. equity,
liabilities and insurance, asset valuations, IT, IR, shareholder dilution, risk management, negotiation skills)
• How will increasing exploration/development drilling costs affect your future capex plans?
• Reflecting on recent capital raising experiences: what lessons can you take from those?
• Are you bullish, bearish or uncertain about the outlook for oil and gas going into 2011?

Session speakers include:

• Mark Gyetvay, Deputy Chairman and CFO, NOVATEK
• Femi Adeyemo, CFO, OandO
• David MacFarlane, Finance Director, Dana Petroleum plc

“Exploring New Business and Investment Opportunities in Africa and the Middle East”

Africa and the Middle East continue to be regions of huge significant importance and interest for oil and gas companies, large, medium
and small. To discuss the changing dynamics of the regions and the investment opportunities they now present we welcome a plethora
of recognised industry pioneers and market commentators who have worked extensively across Africa and the Middle East to discuss how
they are overcoming key business challenges to grow and develop successful oil and gas companies. Points of discussion include:
• Winning business strategies, the economic landscape, E&P outlook, finance availability, market dynamics, risk management, regional
challenges and new investment opportunities

Wednesday, 24 November 2010

Main Event – DAY 1
13:45 – 15:00 Private Capital Session (STREAM B)
“How Will Private Equity Investments and Partnerships Shape Tomorrow’s Industry?”

The presence of private equity has been somewhat muted in the past year as funds have focussed on meeting cash calls and developing
their existing portfolios. But with new capital inflows and brimming war chests their influence could be pivotal in ensuring the sustained
recovery of the industry going forward. To discuss the importance of the role they will play we’ve gathered a number of renowned private
equity fund managers and advisors to comment on their investment strategies, portfolios, opportunities and their outlook for private capital
going into 2011. Points of discussion include:
• Stick or twist? Exploring the latest investment parameters, criteria and strategies of PE investors
• Current private funding capacity and availability for start-up and small-cap companies
• Learning from successful investments: best practice in deal conception, execution and value creation
• How significant a role will PE investment(s) play in shaping tomorrow’s oil and gas landscape?
• The outlook for energy-focused PE in 2011: market challenges and opportunities

Session speakers include:

• Simon Munro, Managing Director, Lime Rock Partners
• Jan Kielland, Partner, Sector Asset Management

15:45 – 17:00 Institutional Investor Session (STREAM B)

“Buy? Sell? Hold? Picking the Investments of Tomorrow”

Investors have endured a rollercoaster ride recently with oil and gas stocks. Share price volatility, exploration disappointments and share
dilution from rights issues have shied away more cautious investors from the sector. Specialist investors have however delivered market-
leading returns from their energy portfolios. We’ve gathered these investors and Europe’s most respected fund managers to discuss their
investment portfolios, strategies and criteria so they can tell you where they are going to invest in tomorrow’s oil and gas industry! Points of
discussion include:
• Risk vs. reward: current investor appetite / sentiment towards oil and gas
• Cash? Assets? Management? E, D or P? Onshore? Offshore? Conventional? Unconventional? The current criteria of energy investors
revealed
• New investment strategies: long, short, commodity based, regionally based
• Juniors, mid-caps, majors, NOCs: buy, sell, hold? Who will tomorrow’s winners be?
• Emerging investment opportunities to look out for in 2011: companies, countries, commodities

Session speakers include:

• Andy Brough, Executive Director, Schroder Investment Management

Thursday, 25 November 2010

Main Event – DAY 2
09:00 – 10:20 Keynote Bankers Session (PLENARY)
“The Future of Energy Banking: New Rules or New Ballgame?”

The landscape of energy banking has altered significantly over the past 12 months. We initally witnessed a record number of oil and gas
financings, particularly equity followed by the introduction of new banking regulation and the emergence of new key players in the sector.
Our session speakers have been responsible for leading a swathe of capital raisings and transactions across the sector. Here you’ll have
the opportunity of hearing their collective thoughts on today’s banking environment, the impact of financial reform, recent transaction
trends and deal flow, the outlook for IPOs and lending capability. Points of discussion include:
• Exploring a new equilibrium in oil and gas debt and equity markets
• How significantly have the dynamics of energy banking changed recently? Will new banking reform and oversight affect future lending
capacity? What are the implications of these for oil and gas companies?
• We’re open for business! But which projects are getting financed and which are not?
• Emerging trends, tools, techniques and T&Cs in oil and gas banking and financing
• Examining recent IPO activity and appetite. What is the IPO outlook for 2011?

Session speakers include:

• Andrew Bartlett, Global Head, Oil & Gas, Standard Chartered Bank
• Lance Crist, Global Head, Oil & Gas, IFC / World Bank
• Tim Chapman, Managing Director and Head, International Energy, RBC Capital Markets
• James Janoskey, Managing Director and Head, European Oil and Gas Group, Credit Suisse
• Afonso Reis e Sousa, Director, Taylor-DeJongh

11:00 – 12:20 Keynote M&A and A&D Session (PLENARY)

“Banking the Biggest Bang for your Buck – Achieving Optimal and Sustainable Deal Value from your M&A and A&D Transactions”

Strong and relatively stable commodity prices have helped underwrite recent M&A activity as many companies have disposed of non-
core assets and sold off assets to strengthen their balance sheets. In the midst of continued market uncertainly and arguable asset
valuations can we expect a new wave of industry consolidation or simply sporadic transactions? Oil and gas company executives who
have recently leveraged the M&A market to create shareholder value join us here alongside leading M&A practitioners and advisors to
analyse recent M&A activity and deal flow, and discuss what corporate development strategies are most effectively for today’s markets.
Points of discussion include:
• The current M&A and A&D environment – opportunity or threat? Is it a Buyers or Sellers universe?
• Evaluating recent corporate-level and asset-level deal trends, metrics, economics and valuations
• The inside line: deal pricing, structuring, due diligence, and achieving optimal and sustainable value
• Has M&A overtaken exploration and organic growth as the key factor in ensuring new growth?
• Recent M&A and A&D case studies: who got it right, who got it wrong and why

Session Speakers include:

• Jan Konstanty, Head, Corporate Mergers & Acquisitions and Global New Business, Wintershall
• Alistair Stobie, CFO, Pan Petroleum and Designate EVP, New Ventures, Panoro Energy
• Ashish Khosla, Director, M&A and Business Development, Chevron International
• Tom Reynolds, Commercial Director, Bridge Energy ASA
• Ron Hagen, Executive Vice President, Business Development, Oranje-Nassau Energie

13:50 – 15:10 Financing and Capital Raising Session I (STREAM A)

“The Highs and Lows of Riding the Capital Raising Rollercoaster”

Here we’ll dissect the current capital raising environment; emerging financing trends; the financial tools and vehicles now available to
CFOs/FDs; and the decision making processes of CFOs/FDs when choosing a financing solution. Points of discussion include:
• The challenges in effectively accessing, raising, securing and investing new capital in today’s markets
• Choosing the right financing option, structure and partner: what must CFOs/FDs now consider?
• Future outlooks and pricings for debt, RBL, project finance and mezzanine capital
• Ingredients for success: what must companies demonstrate to secure funding?
• How to secure liquidity and capital in illiquid emerging markets. Accessing new pools of investment.

Session speakers include:

• Cynthia Dubin, CFO, Canamens Energy
• Andrew Moorfield, Global Head, Oil & Gas, Lloyds Banking Group

Innovative approaches and specialist financing are increasingly being used by small-caps to raise capital in challenging market
conditions. Here we welcome a selection of CFOs, investors and financial advisors to discuss how small-caps can best leverage today’s
capital markets to fund the growth and development of their company.
Points of discussion include:
• Analysing recent small-cap capital raisings: market trends / observations / challenges

“Delivering Innovative Cost-Effective Service Provision – Building Successful and Progressive Partnerships with Oil & Gas Companies in an
Era of Cost Reduction”

With the introduction of lower pricing structures and increasingly innovative business solutions, oilfield service companies have reasserted
their importance in both helping to advance and develop oil fields and partner oil and gas companies to new growth. We welcome here
a selection of oilfield service leaders who are driving this innovation. They will speak openly about future cost projections, new service
solutions, optimising partnership synergies and their outlook for the sector going into 2011. Points of discussion include:
• Customer demand and demands: how has your customer mix altered in the past 12 months, have your customers’ needs changed in
anyway and how have these factors affected your future order book?
• Current cost dynamics and future cost projections of service provision: are current costs ‘fair’?
• What are the major challenges now facing the sector? How will these impact your business and the sector’s outlook as a whole?

across Russia and the FSU/CIS to discuss how they are overcoming key business challenges to grow and develop successful oil and gas

Emerging Leaders Day
09:00 – 10:20 Keynote Analysts Session (PLENARY)
“Unlocking the Value and Realising the Potential of the Independent Oil & Gas Markets – Who are the Leaders of Tomorrow?”

Today’s independents enable the progression of our industry, breed innovation, pioneers new frontiers, find and develop world-class
reservoirs and create new market leaders and entrepreneurs. Recently however many have suffered significant corporate setbacks, share
price capitulation and have scrambled to secure new equity financing from their existing investor bases. Some however have thrived and
capitalised on the opportunities recent market events have unearthed. To explore the sector and its outlook we’ve gathered some of the
world’s most respected oil and gas analysts to explore current market dynamics, valuations and to identify the companies best placed for
future growth. Points of discussion include:
• Current state of play and outlook for independent O&G oilfield service companies, advisors, financiers and investors
• In today’s marketplace are cash flow and quality assets king? If not what is?
• Are current share prices accurately reflecting the real value of independents?
• Will the recent BP GoM disaster have an impact on small-/mid-caps ability to operate deep offshore?
• Separating the wheat from the chaff: who are currently the market’s best performing companies and who will potentially be the
companies of tomorrow?

Session Speakers Include:

• Senior Representative, Head, Oil & Gas Research, Credit Suisse
• Simon Hawkins, Head, Oil & Gas Research, Ambrian
• Senior Representative (Oil & Gas Research), RBC Capital Markets
• Peter Hitchens, Head, Oil & Gas Research, Panmure Gordon

11:00 – 12:20 Keynote Exploration Session (PLENARY)

“Striking it Rich by Investing in Exploration: Where is the Next Big Find?”

Independent explorers are renowned for pioneering the globe searching for the next world-class find. Some opt for low-risk exploration
strategies as they look to build their company step-by-step but some chase that ever elusive ‘company maker’ or game-changer play.
Fortunes are won and lost. What strategy is correct for today’s markets? Where are pure-play explorers placing their bets in the future
and what new investment opportunities are now open both to oil and gas companies and investors? In this special session experienced
explorers will discuss the key exploration challenges independents face in today’s global oil and gas landscape; debate how companies
can increase their exploration success; the impact of increased exploration and drilling costs on their future strategies, and if the rise of
unconventionals has changed conventional exploration thinking. Points of discussion include:
• Global or regional? New frontier or old frontier? Conventional or unconventional? Investing in people or investing in technology?
Selecting the right exploration strategy for your company and your investors
• How important will searching for unconventionals become in future exploration strategies?
• Win big or lose big; what does the future hold for exploration focussed independents?
• Searching for new oil/gas provinces: where is the next big find?

Session speakers include:

• Tim Sullivan, Deputy CEO and UK Manager, Agora Oil and Gas
• Dr Stuart Paton, Commercial and Technical Director, Dana Petroleum (awaiting final confirmation)
• Dr Keith Myers, Founding Partner, Richmond Energy Partners
