Joint venture FPSO programme increased
to 15 vessels
Awarded 10 exploration blocks in the
Barreirinhas Basin
KEY DATES
2000 Acquired pre-salt non-operated acreage
in the Santos Basin
2006 Lula (BM-S-11) oil and gas discovery made
in the Santos Basin
2008 Sapinho announced as an oil discovery
on BM-S-9
Iara announced as a material oil discovery
on BM-S-11
2010 Production from rst permanent FPSO
on Lula commenced
2011 Reserves and resources doubled since
2010; upside potential 8 billion boe*
Reservoir performance signicantly
reduces unit costs; unit resource
value increased
BG Group has interests in four blocks in the
Santos Basin, offshore Brazil. The exploration
success, scale of resources discovered and
production performance in the Santos Basin to
date have been exceptional. BG Group currently
has three permanent oating production,
storage and ofoading (FPSO) vessels from
which it is exporting crude oil. The rst vessels
on the Lula and Sapinho elds were brought
into production around four years after
exploration success.
In June 2011, BG Group issued a material
reserves and resources upgrade* for its interests
in the pre-salt Santos Basin. Mean total reserves
and resources are estimated to amount to some
6 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) net to
BG Group. The aggregate range of total reserves
and resources net to BG Group is from
4 billion boe (P90) to 8 billion boe (P10).
The Lula, Sapinho, Iracema, Iara and Carioca
discoveries account for 95% of BG Groups total
reserves and resources in the Santos Basin.
In July 2012, BG Group received updated
independent expert certication of these
resource estimates from the oil and gas
consulting rm Miller and Lents, Ltd (MLL).
This certication conrmed BG Groups current
estimate of the reserves and resources range
of 4 billion boe to 8 billion boe, with a mean
of 6 billion boe*. MLL was given full access to
BG Groups data and development models
for these elds in order to undertake its
probabilistic analysis**.
* Based on BG Group estimates, not the operator or consortium view
** MLL was not asked to differentiate reserves from total discovered resource volumes

The current 15 FPSO programme in the
Santos Basin will deliver 2.6 mmboed of gross
capacity and some 500 kboed of production
net to BG Group by 2020.
In BG Groups view*, the full development of
the BM-S-9 and BM-S-11 elds could result in
peak BG Group net production well in excess
of 600 kboed at current equity levels.
The low unit cost of the Santos Basin
development is a result of the excellent reservoir
characteristics, which deliver high margins and
an economic break-even at less than $40/bbl.
Upstream: E&P
BM-S-9
Sapinho
In 2008, the Sapinho well (BG Group 30%)
was announced as a discovery. Since the initial
discovery there have been further drilling
successes including Sapinho North and
Sapinho South.
In 2011, BG Group and partners announced
the Declaration of Commerciality (DoC) with
the Brazilian National Agency of Petroleum,
Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) for the
accumulation of light oil and gas in the
Sapinho area. The DoC marks the start
of the commercial production phase for
the eld and sets the licence period to run
to 2038. In January 2013, rst production from
the Sapinho eld commenced through the
120 000 barrels of oil per day (bopd) and
177 million standard cubic feet of gas per day
(mmscfd) FPSO Cidade de So Paulo (FPSO 2).
Following commissioning of the gas processing
and reinjection systems, the facility produced
around 25 000 boed from just one well. Further
wells are expected to be connected through
2013 and 2014 enabling the vessel to achieve
full capacity.
In February 2013, an extended well test started
in the Sapinho North area in preparation for
the next phase of development in the northern
area of the eld. A further FPSO (FPSO 4),
with capacity of up to 150 000 bopd and
212 mmscfd gas, is planned to be in operation
in the third quarter of 2014.
Carioca
In 2007, the Carioca well (BG Group 30%) was
declared a discovery. Since the initial discovery
there have been further drilling successes
including Iguau, Abar West, Carioca
North-East, Abar and in August 2013
Iguau Mirim.
In 2011, the results of an extended well
test (EWT) on Carioca North-East indicated
potential production of approximately
28 000 bopd, above initial expectations.
DoC is expected to be taken on the Carioca eld
by the end of 2013 with rst production scheduled
for 2016, from a single FPSO development.
BM-S-10
In 2006, the Parati well (BG Group 25%) was
declared a discovery. Work continues on this
discovery and the remaining prospectivity.
BM-S-11
Lula and Iracema
Lula and Iracema in BM-S-11 (BG Group 25%)
are very large structures with signicant
reserves potential. The Lula discovery well
was drilled in 2006 and the Iracema discovery
well, which conrmed the presence of light
oil in the north-west of the evaluation area,
was drilled in 2009.
There has been signicant activity on Lula and
Iracema since the original discoveries were made
including appraisal wells, drill stem tests (DSTs),
EWTs and the start-up of the rst two
permanent FPSOs.

The rst EWT, on Lula, owed rst oil in May 2009
and completed operations in December 2010.
A second EWT, on Lula North-East, commenced
operations in April 2011 and completed operations
in November 2011.
A third EWT, on Iracema, commenced
operations in March 2012 and operated
in the area for approximately six months.
The information gathered will support
the development of a 150 000 bopd and
283 mmscfd gas capacity FPSO (FPSO 5),
planned to be in operation in the fourth
quarter of 2014.
Production from the rst permanent FPSO
on the Lula eld commenced in October 2010.
The FPSO Cidade de Angra dos Reis (FPSO 1)
has capacity to process up to 100 000 bopd
and up to 177 mmscfd gas. The FPSO has been
producing close to capacity from just four
producing wells, one injector well and one
water alternating gas (WAG) well.
Production from the second permanent FPSO,
at Lula North-East, commenced in June 2013.
The FPSO Cidade de Paraty (FPSO 3) has capacity
to process 120 000 bopd and 177 mmscfd gas.
Following commissioning of the gas processing
and reinjection systems in August 2013, the
facility produced around 30 000 boed from
just one well. Further wells are expected to be
connected through 2013 and 2014 for the vessel
to achieve full capacity.
Following the addition of two FPSOs to the
partnerships Lula eld development plan in
2012, studies are ongoing by the partnership
into further FPSOs for Lula. BG Group expects
decisions on potential further expansion
to be supported by data from wells being
drilled in the southern and northern ends
of the eld, and EWT results in 2013 and 2014.
In October 2012, WAG secondary recovery
mechanisms started in Lula with the rst
water injection cycle. This shifted to the gas
injection cycle in June 2013.
* Based on BG Group estimates, not the operator
or consortium view
Iara
In 2008, BG Group announced the successful
completion of drilling on the Iara well, also in
the BM-S-11 concession on a step-out block.
In 2011, BG Group announced the successful
completion of drilling on the Iara Horst well.
The well encountered good quality oil in a thick
reservoir section. Initial results from Iara Horst
demonstrated superior reservoir characteristics
to the discovery well located around eight
kilometres away. A DST, completed in 2011,
conrmed reservoir quality and well productivity.
In April 2012, BG Group announced the
successful completion of drilling on the Iara
West well. The results conrmed the westerly
extension of the Iara accumulation and
demonstrated the high potential of the pre-salt
reservoirs within that area. In July 2013, a fourth
appraisal well at Iara was drilled and tested
with excellent results. As of July 2013, a further
Iara appraisal well is underway. This is a
high-angle well drilling through the reservoir.
Iara is a giant eld with similar oil in place to
Lula. At present, the operator has a placeholder
of just two FPSOs for Iara. The partners are
currently working on front-end development
ideas. BG Group expects decisions on the
expansion of the eld development plan to
follow the major 2013 and 2014 appraisal
programme. The DoC on Iara is expected
to be taken by the end of 2013.
BM-S-50
In February 2013, the Sagitrio well
(BG Group 20%) was declared a discovery.
It was the rst well to be drilled on the
BM-S-50 concession and conrmed the
presence of good quality oil. Appraisal
activities are being planned for 2014.
Barreirinhas Basin
In May 2013, BG Group was awarded 10 offshore
blocks in the Barreirinhas Basin, along Brazils
northern equatorial margin. Concession
contracts are expected to be signed with
the ANP later in 2013. BG Groups equity
in the blocks is:
Six blocks 100% holding; and
Four blocks 50% and operator,
partnering Petrobras (40%) and
Galp (10%). This partnership replicates
the BM-S-11 consortium currently
developing the giant Lula and Iara elds.
FPSOs
BG Group is progressing a further 12 FPSOs,
six leased and six owned, in addition to
the three currently producing on Lula and
Sapinho. These are due to come onstream
progressively over the period to 2018 and
provide gross capacity of 2.6 mmboed.
Oil evacuation
During 2011, BG Group took delivery of the oil
tanker Windsor Knutsen, which is being used
to transport BG Groups equity oil from Brazil.
The Windsor Knutsen was converted from a
conventional Suezmax tanker into the worlds
largest shuttle tanker, with the capacity to
hold 1.1 million barrels (mmbbls) of crude oil.
First crude oil from the Lula FPSO was lifted
in July 2011 and delivered in August 2011. As at
July 2013, a total of 14 liftings of 1 mmbbls have
been made from the permanent facilities at
Lula and Sapinho by BG Group. The Group
has also committed to charter four further
Suezmax shuttle tankers. The Samba Spirit
arrived in Brazil in June 2013, with two of the
other three vessels scheduled for delivery
later in 2013, and the third in early 2014. Oil
evacuation activities are managed by GEMS
(see pages 32 to 34 for details).
Gas evacuation
Development plans for the associated gas
resources in the Groups Santos Basin interests
have continued to advance.
In 2010, a new pipeline was installed connecting
the Lula eld to the Mexilho gas hub. This
pipeline has been used to export gas from
FPSO 1 since September 2011 and will also be
connected to the second and third FPSOs.
A second export route, the Cabinas pipeline,
is currently under construction. The pipeline
will span approximately 380 kilometres and will
connect the Lula eld to a terminal in Cabinas,
180 kilometres north-east of Rio de Janeiro.
The pipeline represents the next major phase
of gas export infrastructure, providing capacity
for up to four additional FPSOs.

BG Group entered Australia in 2008 via an
alliance with Queensland Gas Company (QGC),
acquiring a 20% interest in QGCs coal seam
gas (CSG) assets in the Surat Basin, southern
Queensland, and a 9.9% stake in QGC. After a
successful drilling campaign and the decision
to develop a multi-train LNG project, the Boards
of BG Group and QGC agreed the terms of
a takeover, completed in 2009. To secure
additional CSG resource BG Group also acquired
Pure Energy Resources Limited in 2009.
Upstream: E&P
Production
Production is currently sold into the domestic
market. Future production will principally
supply the LNG project. On plateau, it is
envisaged that gross production to supply
the LNG plant and the domestic market will
be around 250 000 boed.
QCLNG project
The rst phase upstream development
is expected to comprise approximately
2 000 wells by the end of 2014, rising to
more than 6 000 wells over the life of the
two LNG trains. Drilling is on track, with more
than 1 500 wells drilled by end of July 2013.
BG Group expects to drill on average 50 wells
per month and at the end of July 2013 had
11 drilling rigs operating in the Surat Basin.
The rst water treatment plant, at Windibri,
is in operation and has a capacity of some
six million litres per day. The rst major water
treatment facility at Kenya, a 98 million litre per
BG Groups Australian reserves and resources
at the end of 2012 were 29 tcf (gross). The Group
owns interests in onshore concessions covering
about 33 000 square kilometres. To date, only
a fraction of the total area under lease has
been explored.
QCLNG
BG Group is developing a two-train 8.5 mtpa
LNG plant supplied by CSG. The plant is being
built on a 270 hectare site on Curtis Island,
Gladstone, on the Queensland coast. First LNG
exports are expected in 2014.
BG Group is constructing a 540 kilometre
pipeline network to link the gas elds in the
Surat Basin to the LNG plant on Curtis Island.
At the end of July 2013, BG Group had contracts
and other agreements in place for more than
95% of the $20.4 billion total budget for the rst
phase scope to the end of 2014. At this stage,
the rst phase scope of the project was around
64% complete on a value of work done basis.

day plant, has been commissioned and rst
water was exported in July 2013. Activity is also
well advanced at the Ruby Jo central processing
plant (CPP) and the six associated eld
compressor stations (FCS). These facilities
are critical for delivering rst LNG in 2014.
In 2010, BG Group and Australia Pacic
LNG (APLNG) agreed a framework for the
development of jointly owned CSG tenements
ATP 648P and ATP 620P. BG Group also entered
into conditional gas purchase agreements with
APLNG under which BG Group expects to buy
190 petajoules (PJ) of gas over an initial two-year
period from APLNG, reducing thereafter to an
average of 25 PJ per annum. The start of gas
sales is aligned with the start of commercial
operations at the QCLNG project.
Additionally, to help manage gas ramp-up,
BG Group has entered into an agreement
with AGL Energy Limited (AGL) whereby AGL
will use a depleted eld near Wallumbilla
in the Surat Basin to store QGC gas for a fee
for seven years from 2011.
The QCLNG project involves the construction
of a 200 kilometre, 42-inch gas collection header
pipeline, a 340 kilometre, 42-inch export pipeline
to Gladstone and additional pipeline to gather
nearby CSG resources. The entire gas collection
header is now in the ground and backlled. At
the end of July 2013, all of the mainline welding
for the export pipeline was complete, with over
75% of the pipeline lowered into the ground.
Importantly, the 2.3 kilometre Narrows Crossing
pipeline was laid across Gladstone harbour in
February 2013 without injury or incident. This
was a signicant engineering achievement and
Australias longest large-diameter underwater
pipe-pull. It is the rst gas pipeline to connect
Curtis Island with the mainland. The full pipeline
is expected to be completed by the end of 2013.
Upstream: Liquefaction
QCLNG project
Construction of the 8.5 mtpa LNG plant
continues on Curtis Island, with activities
completed at the module pre-fabrication yard
in Thailand. All 62 modules required for Train 1
and ve of the 18 modules that support
Train 2 have been delivered. The remaining
modules for Train 2 are scheduled to be
delivered by year end. Both LNG storage tank
roofs were raised in the rst half of 2013. It is
anticipated that the LNG plant will be ready to
start commissioning with gas around the end of
2013. First LNG sales are expected to commence
in the second half of 2014.
Exploration activities
BG Group has multiple exploration opportunities
in Australia, in addition to CSG being developed
in the Surat Basin, which could be used to
underpin a potential third LNG train at the
QCLNG project.
In the Bowen Basin, BG Group has both CSG
and deep gas sands opportunities. In the
Bowen CSG, appraisal is ongoing. Testing is
nearing completion in the Bowen deep gas sands
where four wells have been drilled, including one
of the deepest wells ever in Queensland.
In the Cooper Basin, BG Group and its partner
Drillsearch are exploring both tight gas sands
and shale gas potential. 3D seismic acquisition
has been carried out and the partners are
looking to commence drilling later in 2013.
QCLNG is rmly underpinned by BG Groups
global LNG supply agreements, including sales
to Chile, China, Japan and Singapore.
In 2010, BG Group signed a LNG sales contract
with CNOOC. Under the terms of parallel
agreements between BG Group and CNOOC:
CNOOC will be supplied with 3.6 mtpa
of LNG over a 20-year period;
CNOOC acquired a 5% equity interest in the
reserves and resources of certain BG Group
tenements in the Surat Basin in Queensland;
CNOOC became a 10% equity investor in
Train 1; and
BG Group and CNOOC agreed to participate
jointly in a consortium to construct two
LNG ships in China that will be owned
by the consortium.
Further, on 31 October 2012, BG Group
announced it had signed a Heads of Agreement
(HoA) with CNOOC for the sale of certain
interests in the QCLNG project for $1.93 billion
and the sale of an additional 5 mtpa of LNG
from BG Groups global portfolio, beginning
in 2015. Additionally, CNOOC will reimburse
BG Group for its share of QCLNG project
expenditure incurred from 1 January 2012.
In May 2013, BG Group announced it had
signed binding agreements covering the HoA.
Completion of the transaction is expected
by the end of 2013, subject to government,
regulatory and other relevant approvals
and to the nalising and execution of certain
other related documentation. Under the
terms of the agreements:
CNOOC will acquire a 40% equity interest in
Train 1, increasing its equity ownership from
10% to 50%;
CNOOC will acquire a 20% equity interest in
tenements in the Surat Basin, increasing its
equity ownership from 5% to 25%;
CNOOC will acquire a 25% working interest
in certain upstream tenements held by
BG Group in the Bowen Basin;
BG Group and CNOOC will jointly invest in
the construction of two further LNG ships
in China; and
CNOOC will have the option to participate
as a 25% partner in the rst of any potential
expansion trains at QCLNG.
The agreements exclude any interest in the
Train 2 liquefaction facility, pipelines and
QCLNG project common facilities**.
In 2011, BG Group signed a sales agreement
with Tokyo Gas. Under the agreement:
Tokyo Gas will buy 1.2 mtpa of LNG for
20 years from 2015;
Tokyo Gas acquired a 1.25% interest in the
tenements in the Walloons Fairway; and
Tokyo Gas became a 2.5% equity investor in
the second of the two liquefaction trains.
BG Group also signed a sales agreement with
Chubu Electric Power Co. Inc, (Chubu Electric)
for the long-term supply of LNG. Under the
agreement, Chubu Electric will purchase up
to 122 cargoes over 21 years, starting in 2014.

Condamine Power Station
BG Group also operates Condamine Power
Station, which is fuelled by CSG produced
at QGCs gaselds in the Surat Basin.
With a potential generating capacity of
140 megawatts, the station provides power
to the National Electricity Market.
** BG Group retains majority ownership of the QCLNG project.
In particular, BG Group will have:
Around 74% of its original interest in the upstream
resource and related infrastructure; and
100% of the projects common facilities on Curtis Island
(including LNG storage tanks and jetty) and the
540 kilometre natural gas pipeline network linking
the gas elds to Curtis Island. Together, these items
represent approximately 30% of the estimated
$20.4 billion 2011-2014 project spend

Scarab, Saffron
Scarab, Saffron, the rst deep water sub-sea
developments in Egypt, started production in
2003 and supply gas to the domestic market.
These facilities consist of eight sub-sea wells
connected to a sub-sea manifold, in turn
connected by pipelines to an onshore
processing terminal. Electrical and hydraulic
lines connect the wells to the onshore control
room. The elds are located approximately
90 kilometres from the shore and in water
depths of more than 700 metres.
Simian, Sienna and Sapphire
The Simian and Sienna elds supply
Egyptian LNG Train 1, while the Sapphire
eld supplies Egyptian LNG Train 2. These
elds are located approximately 120 kilometres
offshore Idku, near Alexandria. The facilities
consist of 16 sub-sea wells tied into the existing
WDDM gas gathering network and a shallow
water control platform. The onshore processing
facilities form part of the Idku Gas Hub where
the Egyptian LNG facilities are located.
WDDM additional phases
The WDDM elds have undergone a
number of development phases to maximise
hydrocarbon recovery. Phase 4 brought seven
additional wells onstream during 2008, with
Phase 6 in 2009 adding three unitised Sequoia
wells, and Phases 8a and 8b delivering another
17 sub-sea wells between 2011 and 2012. With
the completion of the Phase 8a and 8b projects,
the WDDM Concession has a total of 53 sub-sea
wells. Phases 5 and 7 were compression projects,
including installation of seven onshore
compressors in total and additional gas
gathering and receiving facilities, including a
new 68 kilometre, 36-inch offshore pipeline.
After the onset of production declines,
as a result of increased water production,
BG Group and partners initiated a four-point
recovery plan incorporating:
Improved forecasts of eld performance;
Increased production from existing well stock
(for example, through sub-sea workovers);
The Phase 9a drilling programme; and
Near-eld exploration close to existing
infrastructure.
Phase 9a was sanctioned in the rst quarter
of 2013 and the drilling programme commenced
in May. Production is expected in the second
half of 2014.
El Manzala Offshore and El Burg
Offshore Concessions
In 2005, BG Group signed the EBO and EMO
concession agreements for the exploration
of gas and oil with the Egyptian Natural Gas
Holding Company (EGAS). Exploration drilling
on EBO and EMO commenced in 2008.
BG Group holds 50% equity in EMO, upon which
the Zonda well was drilled in 2011 but failed to
discover commercial hydrocarbons. A two-well
programme on EBO commenced in 2012. The
rst well, Harmattan Deep-1, was declared a
discovery in July 2012, while the high-impact,
long-duration Notus well, which is testing a
new Oligocene play, commenced drilling in
late 2012 with a result expected later in 2013.
North Gamasa Offshore Concession
BG Group holds 60% equity in, and is
operator of, Block 1. The block covers an
area of 281 square kilometres and is located
20 kilometres from the coast in shallow water.
The concession agreement formalising the award
was signed in early 2010 with 3D seismic
acquisition completed later that year.
East El Burullus Offshore Concession
BG Group farmed in to the EEBO Concession
in 2012, taking a 40% interest, with the partners
scheduled to drill the Kala-1 well in the third
quarter of 2013. This prospect is located close
to the existing WDDM Infrastructure.
Egyptian LNG
The Egyptian LNG facilities, located at Idku,
comprise the two LNG production trains and
include the common facilities such as storage
tanks, loading jetty and utilities.
Egyptian LNG Company owns both the
Egyptian LNG site and common facilities.
Its sister company, The Egyptian Operating
Company for Natural Gas Liquefaction Projects
(Opco) (BG Group 35.5%) undertakes the
operation of all trains and common facilities.
El Beheira Natural Gas Liquefaction Company
(Train 1 Co.) (BG Group 35.5%) owns Train 1,
and Idku Natural Gas Liquefaction Company
(Train 2 Co.) (BG Group 38%) owns Train 2.
BG Group and partners supply Trains 1 and 2
of Egyptian LNG with gas from the Simian,
Sienna, Sapphire and Sequoia elds in WDDM.
Together, these trains have a productive
capacity of 7.2 mtpa of LNG.
The 3.6 mtpa productive capacity of Train 1 has
been sold to GDF SUEZ under a 20-year SPA.
The rst LNG cargo was lifted in May 2005.
The 3.6 mtpa productive capacity of Train 2 has
been sold under a 20-year agreement to BGGM,
a wholly owned BG Group subsidiary which is
operated by GEMS. The rst LNG cargo was
lifted in September 2005.

SHAREHOLDER IN THE CASPIAN PIPELINE CONSORTIUM.
Upstream: E&P
Karachaganak
Karachaganak, discovered in 1979, is one of
the worlds largest gas and condensate elds.
Located in north-west Kazakhstan, it holds
estimated hydrocarbons initially in place (HIIP)
totalling 9 billion bbls of condensate and 48 tcf
of gas, with estimated gross reserves of more
than 2.4 billion bbls of condensate and 16 tcf
of gas. Only around 10% of the HIIP has been
recovered to date.
Production from the Karachaganak eld
began in 1984. Since the signing of the Final
Production Sharing Agreement (FPSA) in 1997,
the Karachaganak partners have made
substantial investment in wells, facilities and
pipelines. In addition to its size, Karachaganak
presents the operators with formidable
challenges because of extreme climate swings
(+/- 40 degrees centigrade) and the requirement
to re-inject high pressure sour gas.
The FPSA envisaged a phased development
programme. Phase 2, which came onstream
in 2004, involved investment to enhance the
existing facilities, construction of new gas and
liquids processing and gas injection facilities,
workover of more than 100 wells, construction
of a 120 megawatt power station and a new
650 kilometre pipeline to connect the eld to
the CPC pipeline at Atyrau.
Most of the liquids are exported to the west
(92% in 2012), with some oil and all raw gas
sold locally and into Russia. Since 2004, oil
exports have been mainly via the CPC pipeline
and, since 2006, additional oil exports have
been routed via the Atyrau-Samara pipeline
enabling sales to achieve international prices.
In 2011, a fourth liquids stabilisation train
commenced operation. The project increased
rm stabilisation capacity up to 10.3 mtpa.

In 2012, a settlement agreement between the
Republic of Kazakhstan (the Republic) and the
Karachaganak partners was completed. Under
the terms of the agreement, the Republic
acquired a 10% interest in the FPSA from the
consortium for $2.0 billion cash and $1.0 billion
non-cash consideration (pre-tax) including the
nal and irrevocable settlement of all cost
recovery claims, with each of the contracting
companies equity shares reducing
proportionately (BG Groups share reducing
from 32.5% to 29.25%). The Republics interest is
held by a subsidiary of the national oil company,
KazMunaiGas (KMG). The consideration under
the agreement also includes the allocation of
an additional 2 mtpa capacity in the CPC export
pipeline over the remaining life of the FPSA,
bringing total capacity for the use of the
Karachaganak project to 10 mtpa on completion
of the CPC expansion project, expected in 2015.
The partners are currently conducting a
programme aimed at extending the liquids
offtake from the eld. This includes an ongoing
drilling programme comprising horizontal
development wells into the oil rim and a
number of medium-sized projects intended
to de-bottleneck the elds gas processing
and injection facilities.
BG Group and its partners are also working
to dene the next phase of major eld
development. The Karachaganak Expansion
Project is exploring opportunities to identify
the optimal method of installing additional
gas handling capacity to maximise utilisation
of liquid stabilisation trains as the elds
gas-oil ratio increases.
KazMunaiGas (KMG) agreements
In 2008, BG Group announced an agreement
with KMG and its subsidiary KazMunaiGas
Exploration and Production (KMG EP) to
cooperate in exploring a range of upstream
opportunities in Kazakhstan and other countries.
In 2010, KMG EP acquired a 35% interest in
the P1722 licence in the UK North Sea, which
contained the White Bear prospect. The
prospect was drilled, but was written off
following post-well evaluation.
A second, downstream, cooperation agreement
was signed with KMG to examine ways to
increase gas utilisation in Kazakhstan. In 2010,
BG Group, in partnership with KazTransGas
(KTG), opened the rst CNG station in Almaty
where a eet of 200 CNG buses now operate.
In April 2013, BG Group concluded this highly
successful cooperation and signed an agreement
with KTG to transfer BG Group-owned CNG
equipment in the Almaty CNG station to KTG.
Other
Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC)
BG Group has a 2% equity share in the pipeline
but is entitled to 2.75 mtpa (55 000 bopd) of
capacity (around 10% of the total), which is
used to transport liquids. BG Group and
the Karachaganak partners also have the
opportunity to capture capacity unused by
other shareholders. Liquids deliveries into CPC
began in 2004 and, in 2012, 8.4 million tonnes
of liquids from Karachaganak were transported
via CPC (BG Group 2.1 million tonnes).
In 2010, the CPC shareholders sanctioned
the CPC expansion project, which will more
than double capacity in three phases, with
completion expected in 2015. Total gross
capacity will increase to 67 mtpa. Following
expansion, and the allocation of an additional
2 mtpa capacity to the Karachaganak partners
as part of the 2012 settlement agreement,
BG Groups entitlement will rise to 3 mtpa
(60 000 bopd) while the total capacity for
BG Group and the Karachaganak partners will
increase to 10 mtpa. The CPC expansion project
includes the addition of 10 pump stations in
Russia and Kazakhstan, six crude oil storage
tanks near Novorossiysk and a third single-point
mooring at the CPC Marine Terminal.

BGGroup believes there is signicant remaining
potential in the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS).
BG Groups position is focused in the central
North Sea where the Group is operator of
three key platforms and infrastructure hubs
Armada, Everest and Lomond allowing both
the operational performance of mature elds
to be optimised and the development of other
opportunities in the surrounding area. The Group
is actively pursuing the opportunities around
these infrastructure hubs by identifying nearby
exploration prospectivity, inll wells and
third-party business. Tie-backs to these hubs
are also possible from across the median
line in the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
In addition to core production hubs and
exploration and appraisal interests on the
UKCS, BG Group has interests in the Central
Area Transmission System (CATS) offshore
pipeline and onshore processing facilities,
the Shearwater Elgin Area Line (SEAL), and
in the SEAL Interconnector Link (SILK) pipeline.
Upstream: E&P
Operated assets
Armada Hub Area
The Armada gas condensate elds (Fleming,
Drake and Hawkins) extend more than
31 square kilometres and span ve exploration
blocks with rst production in 1997.
The SW Seymour area of the Seymour eld was
appraised successfully and drilled from the
Armada platform, with rst production in 2003.
A second well in the NW Seymour area was
brought into production in 2006 and a
replacement well was drilled in 2011.
In 2003, BGGroup assumed operatorship
of thefallow Maria 16/29a-11Y discovery.
Appraisal drilling identied and conrmed
the viability of this discovery and the adjacent
Maria Horst prospect. Maria was developed
via two sub-sea wells tied back to the Armada
platform, with rst production in 2007.
The commingled stream of Armada, Seymour
and Maria gas is exported via the CATS terminal
on Teesside. Liquids are transported through
the Forties Pipeline System (FPS) to the Kinneil
processing plant at Grangemouth.
The Armada hub also services two elds in
the Norwegian sector of the North Sea via
tie-backs: the third-party Rev eld and the
BG Group-operated Gaupe eld.
Blake
The Blake eld, located in the Outer Moray Firth,
had rst production in 2001.
The eld was developed in two phases.
Phase One was the Blake Channel, which
is a sub-sea development of six producing
wells and two water-injection wells, tied back
to an existing oating production, storage
and ofoading vessel (FPSO) located over the
third-party Ross eld some 9.5 kilometres away.
Development of Phase Two, Blake Flank, was
completed and production commenced from
two wells in 2003. This sub-sea development
is tied back through the existing Blake facilities
to the Ross FPSO.
Everest and Lomond
Everest and Lomond are located in the central
North Sea and rst production began on each
in 1993. Gas produced from the two elds is
exported via the CATS pipeline and produced
liquids are exported via FPS to the Kinneil
processing plant.

The Everest East expansion project, which
comprises two sub-sea wells tied back to
the North Everest platform and browneld
modications to the existing production
system, achieved rst production in
March 2013 with initial peak production
of 10 kboed. Total reserves are estimated
at around 16 mmboe.
Jackdaw
Appraisal drilling has been completed
on Jackdaw. Results from the exploration
and appraisal programme are being used
to evaluate potential development concepts.
Project sanction is expected in 2015.
Non-operated assets
Buzzard
The Buzzard oil eld in the Outer Moray Firth
came onstream in 2007. The facilities consist
of a complex of four bridge-linked platforms,
with oil export via FPS and gas export via
the Frigg System. Gross estimated ultimate
recoverable resources are approximately
700 mmboe.
In 2010, an additional processing platform to
remove hydrogen sulphide and extend plateau
production was installed. Commissioning and
start-up of this platform was completed in 2011.
15
Elgin/Franklin Area
The high-pressure/high-temperature (HPHT)
Elgin/Franklin gas condensate elds are located
in the Central Graben Area of the central North
Sea. The elds began production in 2001.
Production at Elgin/Franklin was shut-in as
a result of a well control issue that occurred
on the Elgin wellhead platform in March 2012.
A successful well intervention was carried
out in May 2012. In March 2013, production
restarted from three wells. However,
Elgin/Franklin is not expected to recover
to pre shut-down production levels until 2015,
which will require new inll wells to be drilled.
West Franklin started production in 2007.
In 2008, the West Franklin B appraisal well
identied additional potential reserves which
were sufcient for the Phase 2 development.
In 2010, Phase 2 of the development of the
West Franklin eld was sanctioned, and aims
to produce estimated reserves of 85 mmboe.
The development involves the drilling of three
wells and the installation of a new platform tied
back to the Elgin/Franklin facilities. Production
is expected to commence in 2014.
The HPHT Glenelg eld started production
in 2006. The eld has been developed
through a single well drilled from the
Elgin wellhead platform.
Elgin/Franklin, West Franklin and Glenelg gas
is exported through SEAL to the onshore gas
reception facilities at Bacton in Norfolk.
Liquids are exported through FPS to the
Kinneil processing plant at Grangemouth.
Erskine
Gas and liquids produced from the HPHT
Erskine eld, located in the central North Sea,
are processed on the Lomond platform, with
gas then transported via the CATS pipeline,
and liquids via FPS.
J-Block and Jade Area
The Judy/Joanne (J-Block) gas condensate/oil
elds and Jade gas condensate eld are located
in the central North Sea. Production from J-Block
commenced in 1997 and from Jade in 2002.
The Joanne eld is a sub-sea development tied
back to the manned Judy platform through
two 5.5 kilometre pipelines. The Judy/Joanne
elds currently produce from 16 wells.
Jade was developed using a normally
unmanned wellhead platform and currently
produces from eight wells. Production from
Jade is exported via a sub-sea pipeline to the
Judy platform where it is commingled and
processed with Judy and Joanne production.
Gas processed on the Judy platform is
transported through the CATS pipeline and
liquids are transported to Teesside through the
Norpipe system.
The Jasmine discovery lies nine kilometres east
of the Judy platform and straddles Blocks 30/6
and 30/7 with mid-case recoverable reserves
estimated at 200 mmboe. The Jasmine
development comprises a wellhead platform,
with a separate bridge-linked accommodation
platform, tied back via a multi-phase pipeline
and a new riser platform to the existing Judy
production facilities. The project received
government approval in 2010. Offshore
installation of two Jasmine platforms and the
Judy riser platform was successfully completed
in April 2013. Well perforation and testing
activities are being coordinated, with rst
production anticipated in the fourth quarter
of 2013 from up to nine development wells.
Offshore pipelines
CATS
BGGroup has a 62.78% interest in the
404 kilometre CATS pipeline and terminal
system. The CATS pipeline transports gas to
Teesside from the following elds: Armada,
Banff, Eastern Trough Area Project, Erskine,
Everest, Huntington, Montrose-Arbroath area,
Jade, J-Block, Lomond, Rev and Seymour. The
pipeline has a peak capacity of approximately
1 700 mmscfd. Onshore, the terminal includes
two gas processing trains, with a total capacity
of approximately 1 200 mmscfd.
SEAL and SILK
BGGroup has a 7.86% interest in SEAL,
a 474 kilometre gas export pipeline to the
Bacton terminal. With capacity of around
1 150 mmscfd of dry gas, it has been
transporting gas from the Elgin/Franklin
and Shearwater elds since 2001.
BGGroup also has a 15.98% interest in the
900 metre SILK pipeline that provides direct
access from the SEAL pipeline to the
UK-Continent Interconnector pipeline.
BGGroups UK downstream activities are
managed by GEMS and encompass LNG
importation, via Dragon LNG, and energy
marketing. BGGroup sells gas on a wholesale
basis and exports gas to, and imports from,
mainland Europe via the Interconnector.

Many of the plays being explored in Norway are
similar to those developed and matured in the
UK. BG Groups UK and Norwegian assets work
closely to enhance opportunities in the region.
Central North Sea (CNS)
(4 licences, 3 operated)
BGGroup rst entered Norway in the Central
North Sea, applying its UK Central Graben
expertise and experience across the Norwegian
median line area.
In 2008, a discovery was declared on Pi North,
now renamed Gaupe. Gaupe spans PL292 and
PL292B (BGGroup 60% and operator). The eld
began production in 2012 through a two-well
sub-sea tie-back to the Groups Armada
infrastructure in the UK.
In July 2013, BG Group agreed to dispose of its
interest in the Bream eld (PL407), subject to
approval from the Norwegian government.
Northern North Sea (NNS)
In 2008, a discovery was made with the Jordbr
exploration well (PL373S) (BG Group 45% and
operator), renamed Knarr. The development
of Knarr West was integrated into the Knarr
project in 2011, raising gross reserves to around
80 mmboe. First production is expected in 2014.
In 2010, a discovery was announced on Blbr
(BGGroup 45% and operator) (PL374S), a
potential tie-back to the Knarr FPSO.
In 2012, BG Group was awarded PL638 in the
Knarr area (BG Group 36% and operator).
Two further licences, PL679S (BG Group 60%
and operator) and PL688 (BG Group 50%),
were awarded in February 2013.
Mid-Norway
In 2009, BG Group completed a seismic survey
on PL522 and drilled a commitment well in 2011.
In the 21st licensing round in 2011, BGGroup was
awarded PL599 (BGGroup 40% and operator).
Seismic data for both licences have been
merged into a single enhanced dataset for
the combined area.
Barents Sea
In 2007, the Nucula well in PL393 (BGGroup 20%)
was declared a discovery and was subsequently
appraised in 2008.
In 2008, a well on the Ververis prospect (PL395)
(BGGroup 30%) was declared a discovery.
The Hegg licence (PL534) (BGGroup 40%

East Coast Marine Area (ECMA)
The BG Group-operated ECMA development
comprises the Dolphin gas eld, located
83 kilometres off the east coast of Trinidad in
Block 6(b), which commenced production in
1996, and the Dolphin Deep gas eld in the
adjacent Block 5(a), which started up in 2006.
Both Dolphin and Dolphin Deep are contracted
to supply domestic gas to the National Gas
Company (NGC) and LNG exports to BG Gas
Marketing (BGGM), a wholly owned BG Group
subsidiary which is operated by GEMS, via
Atlantic LNG Train 3 and Atlantic LNG Train 4.
The gas is produced under a Combined
Development Plan for the elds in Blocks 5(a),
6(b) and E. Production is currently delivered
from the Dolphin eld through 13 platform
wells, and the Dolphin Deep eld from two
sub-sea wells. These wells were the rst
sub-sea completions in Trinidad and Tobago.
The Dolphin Deep sub-sea facilities are tied
back to facilities on the Dolphin platform.

In 2012, the Starsh development was
sanctioned. This will comprise four sub-sea
wells, tied back to the Dolphin platform, with
rst gas expected in 2014.
ECMA gas is delivered to NGC via a pipeline
to the Poui platform where it connects to the
domestic network. ECMA gas is also delivered
to Atlantic LNG through a second offshore
pipeline bringing gas from the Dolphin
platform to shore at the Beacheld receiving
terminal. It then connects to NGCs 76 kilometre
onshore Cross Island Pipeline extending from
Beacheld to Atlantic LNG at Point Fortin.
In 2005, BG Group and partner completed the
Manatee-1 well in Block 6(d), which indicated
gross resources of 1.8 tcf. This discovery
demonstrated the extension of the Loran eld
from Venezuela into Block 6(d) in Trinidad and
Tobago. In 2010, the governments of Trinidad and
Tobago and Venezuela ratied the eld-specic
treaty for the cross-border Loran-Manatee eld,
providing a framework for advancing a eld
development plan by the partners.

North Coast Marine Area (NCMA)
The BG Group-operated NCMA development,
located 40 kilometres off the north coast of
Trinidad, includes the Hibiscus, Poinsettia and
Chaconia gas elds. There is a Unitisation
Agreement with Petrotrin for the development
of accumulations within the NCMA Unit Area.
These elds are being developed in four phases
to supply gas to Atlantic LNG Trains 2, 3 and 4.
Phases 1 and 2 comprised the installation of
the Hibiscus platform in 2001, together with
a pipeline from NCMA to Atlantic LNG at
Point Fortin. In 2002, BG Group and its
partners announced rst gas production from
the Hibiscus eld into Atlantic LNG Train 2, with
production into Train 3 in 2003 and Train 4
in 2005. In 2003, de-bottlenecking increased
the capacity of the pipeline to 30% above
the original design.
The development of the Poinsettia eld as part
of Phase 3 included accessing the Heliconia and
Bougainvillea accumulations. This involved
building a drilling and production platform, the
largest structure installed in Trinidadian waters,
with initial production from a single sub-sea
well. A pipeline connects the platform to the
existing Hibiscus platform 20 kilometres away.
First gas production from Poinsettia was
achieved in 2009. The six development well
drilling programme completed successfully in
2010, thereby increasing NCMA deliverability
to Atlantic LNG. All six wells are in production.
The NCMA 4a compression project, which
will sustain existing production from the
NCMA elds, was sanctioned by BG Group
and partners in 2010. Construction of the
compression unit commenced in 2012,
with rst gas expected in 2014.
Central Block
BG Group acquired a 65% interest in,
and assumed operatorship of, this block
in 2004 under an exploration and production
licence. Following acreage relinquishment
in 2012, this onshore block now covers
27 square kilometres and includes the
currently producing Carapal Ridge,
Baraka and Baraka East developments.
A gas plant with a capacity of approximately
65 mmscfd was commissioned in 2007, near the
existing production site at Carapal Ridge. This
was de-bottlenecked to 80 mmscfd in 2010.
BG Group supplies both gas and condensate to
Petrotrin, for use in its renery at Pointe--Pierre,
Trinidad. Gas is transported via a 12 kilometre
pipeline that connects to the NGC network.
BG Group also supplies export gas to Atlantic
LNG Train 4. The development of the Baraka and
Baraka East discoveries and compression (known
as the BTIC project) was sanctioned in 2009
with rst gas delivered in 2012, allowing for
the extension of the gas supply contracts.
Block5(c)
In 2007, BGGroup signed a farm-in agreement
for Block 5(c), 94 kilometres off the east coast
of Trinidad. BGGroup took a 30% working
interest in the PSC and assumed operatorship
in 2009. In 2009, BGGroup exercised its
pre-emption rights under the Joint Operating
Agreement to increase its stake in the block to
75%, which became effective later that year.
Each of the three wells drilled on Block 5(c)
since 2007 have encountered hydrocarbons
and has been successfully tested. The rst
well, Victory-1, was drilled 10 kilometres
north-east of the Dolphin platform. The second
well, Bounty-1, targeted a separate prospect,
approximately four kilometres away from the
Victory-1 well. Drilling and testing of the third
exploration well, Endeavour-1, was completed
in 2009. The well targeted the same reservoir
section as Bounty-1 but on a separate structure,
approximately ninekilometres north-west
of the Bounty-1 discovery. Declaration of
Commerciality was made in2011. An appraisal
drilling programme isproposed to commence
in 2014, subject topartner agreement.
Block 5(d)
In 2012, BGGroup (100% and operator) executed
a PSC for Block 5(d), which sits adjacent to
Block 5(c). At the end of July 2013, an extensive
seismic survey has been completed and is
being processed in order to evaluate further
exploration and appraisal activity.

Atlantic LNG
The Atlantic LNG Company of Trinidad and
Tobago, in which BGGroup is a shareholder,
constructed its LNG plant at Point Fortin,
south-west Trinidad, which began operating
in 1999.
The rst train has a productive capacity of
3.1mtpa LNG. Train2 commenced production
in 2002 and Train3 in 2003, these additional
two trains having a productive capacity of
approximately 6.6mtpa. With the completion
of the 5.2mtpa Train4 in 2005, the total
LNG production capacity of Atlantic LNG
is approximately 15mtpa.
The LNG produced from gas supplied to
Trains2 and 3 by BGGroup and its partners
is sold to BGGM for sale into global markets.
LNG produced from the BGGroup liquefaction
capacity in Train4 is also sold under a
long-term contract to BGGM for onward sale.
Atlantic LNG Trains2, 3 and 4 represent fully
integrated projects for BGGroup.
* In February 2013, Royal Dutch Shell plc signed an agreement
with Repsol S.A. to purchase Repsols equity in Atlantic LNG

Upstream: E&P
BG Group is partnered with EXCO Resources,
Inc. (EXCO) to develop shale gas opportunities
in east Texas and north Louisiana, and in the
Appalachian Basin. BG Group believes shale
gas will be an increasingly important element
of the US supply and export mix, and believes
that the Groups resources are at the low end
of the shale gas cost curve. However, BG Groups
drilling operations have been signicantly
reduced in response to lower gas prices.
Haynesville shale
BG Group acquired its shale gas position via
an alliance with EXCO in 2009 through which
the Group:
acquired a 50% interest in EXCOs acreage in
east Texas and north Louisiana, predominantly
in the Haynesville shale gas formation, which
is operated by EXCO;
entered into a joint development agreement
with EXCO to cooperate in the further
development and production of shale gas
in east Texas and north Louisiana; and
acquired a 50% interest in related and
complementary EXCO gas gathering and
transport assets, known as TGGT.
In 2010, BG Group and EXCO jointly purchased
Common Resources, L.L.C. (Common), which
owned operations in Texas. Later in 2010,
the partners purchased acreage from
Southwestern Energy.
In March 2013, BG Group completed the
divestment of all its interests in the shallow,
non-core, conventional producing assets and
acreage in the Cotton Valley formation in east
Texas and north Louisiana.
BGGROUP OWNS LARGE ACREAGE POSITIONS IN
THE HAYNESVILLE AND MARCELLUS SHALE PLAYS.
BG GROUP IS ALSO EVALUATING A POTENTIAL LNG
PROJECT IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA.

In 2010, BG Group entered into further joint
venture (JV) arrangements with EXCO to
acquire a 50% interest in companies that hold
EXCOs producing and non-producing assets
in the Appalachian Basin, located primarily
in Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
BG Group also acquired 50% of EXCOs interest
in approximately 5 900 shallow producing wells,
many of which secure ongoing ownership of
deeper Marcellus rights, and approximately
2 100 miles of gathering infrastructure serving
the shallow wells.
In 2011, BG Group and EXCO jointly purchased
further acreage in the Marcellus area.
BG Group and EXCO have established a
50-50 JV company, EXCO (PA), to operate
the upstream assets.
Alaska
In 2006, BG Group signed a Participation
Agreement for more than 2 million acres in
the Foothills area of the Alaskan North Slope,
operated by Anadarko. Drilling, completion
and seismic activities were carried out in
this area between 2007 and 2012.
BG Group continues to evaluate
its opportunities in the region.
USA
BG Groups LNG and gas marketing activities
include the Lake Charles and Elba Island LNG
import facilities. BG Group is progressing
applications and development plans for
export of LNG from the Lake Charles facility.
These activities are managed by GEMS
(see pages 32 to 34 for details).
Canada
BG Group has obtained exclusive rights to a
site on Ridley Island near Prince Rupert, British
Columbia (BC) for the potential location of an
LNG terminal. The facility would initially be
a two-train development, with the ability to
add a third train if market conditions allow.
Ridley Island has a natural deep water and
ice-free harbour and benets from its proximity
to Asia-Pacic markets. The site is industrially
zoned with rail and road access.
BG Group has signed a project development
agreement with Spectra Energy to jointly
develop a natural gas pipeline from
north-east BC to the proposed terminal.
A feasibility study was completed in May 2013
and BG Group is currently working through
the environmental assessment and permitting
process. An LNG export licence application for
up to 21.6 mtpa was led in June 2013. Sanction
of the project is unlikely to occur before 2016.
BG Group is in discussion with potential
partners in the Prince Rupert project and
does not plan to take more than 50% interest
in the project.

in 2013, comprising well re-perforations and
well re-fracturing operations. As a result, the
total number of producing wells is currently 19.
A 60 kilometre condensate pipeline was
completed in 2007 to transport Miskar
condensate from Hannibal to the La Skhira
storage terminal. The condensate is mainly
exported to the international market.
Hasdrubal
Hasdrubal came onstream in 2009, with gas
being sold to STEG on a long-term contract,
while liquids and LPG are sold to both
international and local markets.
The Hasdrubal onshore gas processing
facility (BG Group 50%, Entreprise Tunisienne
dActivits Ptrolires (ETAP) 50%) and LPG
production facility (BG Group 100%) have
been built adjacent to the Hannibal plant.
Production is delivered from three gas wells
and one oil well through an unmanned
offshore platform to dedicated offtake
facilities. Condensate from Hasdrubal is
transported to the La Skhira storage terminal
through the Hannibal condensate pipeline.
The condensate is mainly exported and sold
with Miskar condensate to the international
market. The LPG storage terminal has been
constructed in Gabs to receive and deliver
butane for sale locally to Socit Tunisienne
des Industries de Rafnage (STIR) and propane
for export to the international LPG market.
Two 6-inch 130 kilometre parallel pipelines
commissioned in 2011 are used to deliver LPG
to the terminal from Hasdrubal.
Amilcar permit
BG Group is operator and joint permit holder
with ETAP, the Tunisian state-owned company,
of the 1 016 square kilometre Amilcar
exploration permit, offshore Sfax in the Gulf of
Gabs. Approval in principle for an additional
two-year extension (to December 2014) of the
permit has been obtained and is pending
decree publication.

BG Group is operator of an exploration licence, awarded in 1999,
covering the entire marine area offshore the Gaza Strip. BG Group
drilled two successful wells in 2000 (Gaza Marine-1 and Gaza Marine-2)
and resources are estimated to be around 1 tcf. In 2001, a technical
review recommended a sub-sea development and pipeline to an onshore
processing terminal. In 2002, an outline Development Plan was approved
by the Palestinian Authority.
BG Group holds 90% equity in the licence, which would be reduced to
60% if the Consolidated Contractors Company (the current 10% partner
in the licence) and the Palestine Investment Fund exercised their options
at development sanction.
In 2007, BG Group withdrew from negotiations with the government
of Israel for the sale of gas from the Gaza Marine eld to Israel. In 2008,
BG Group closed its ofce in Israel but maintains contact with the
Palestinian Authority and the government of Israel to investigate
options for Gaza Marine development.
BG GROUP OWNS A 90% INTEREST IN,
AND IS OPERATOR OF, THE OFFSHORE
GAZA MARINE LICENCE.

BG Group is the operator of the shallow water Block 63/16 in the
Qiongdongnan Basin. The PSC has a seven-year exploration and appraisal
(E&A) phase and a 20-year production sharing period after entering
development. BG Group carries a 100% interest during the E&A phase,
and China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) has the right to
take up to 51% interest in any eld development. The block, which covers
2 623 square kilometres, is relatively unexplored and, should commercial
discoveries be made, is well placed to supply the potential high growth
markets of southern China. Acquisition of 3D seismic, processing and
analysis continues.
During 2012, BG Group relinquished Block 53/16 and Block 64/11.
An agreement was signed in May 2013 with CNOOC for the sale
of 5 mtpa of LNG sourced from BG Groups global LNG portfolio for
20 years. Combined with the 3.6 mtpa LNG sale agreement signed with
CNOOC in 2010, BG Group now has total committed volumes to China
of 8.6 mtpa, which will make the Group the largest supplier of LNG to
the worlds fastest-growing energy market (see page 9 for full details).
In 2008, the Energy Market Authority (EMA) of Singapore appointed
BG Group as the sole aggregator of Singapores rst 3 mtpa of LNG
demand for up to 20 years, with the Aggregator Agreement being
signed in 2009. The aggregator is also required to develop, market
and implement a number of short-term and spot gas sales agreements
to the Singapore market. BG Group, as aggregator, is expected to play
an ongoing role in the development of the gas market in Singapore.
In May 2013, BG Group delivered the rst commercial cargo to Singapores
new LNG terminal on Jurong Island.

Beginning in 2010, BG Group has signed gas sales contracts with a variety
of customers in Singapore, including six large-scale power generation
companies. The total gas sold by August 2013 was approximately
2.7 mtpa, almost 90% of the 3 mtpa franchise.
BG Group will source LNG supply for Singapore from its large, growing
and diversied exible portfolio. It is envisaged that BG Groups QCLNG
project in Australia will serve as one of the sources of supply for Singapore.
BG Group manages its South and East Asia operations (Singapore,
Thailand, China and India) from its Singapore ofce. The Group has
had an ofce in Singapore for more than 15 years.

LNG delivered volumes (mtpa) GEMS
GEMS activities cover global LNG marketing,
gas marketing in North America, Europe,
Australia and Singapore, oil marketing and
shipping. Shipping provides the essential
logistical capability to optimise the LNG
and crude portfolios and deliver these
commodities to high-value markets.
LNG supply
BG Group pursues a number of opportunities
to create a diversied supply portfolio. These
include buying LNG from third parties as well
as from BG Group equity LNG projects in
Egypt and Trinidad and Tobago currently, and
Queensland Curtis LNG (QCLNG) in Australia
from 2014.
In 2004, BG Group purchased its rst long-term
LNG cargo of equity gas from Atlantic LNG
Trains 2 and 3 under a 20-year contract.
This was followed in 2005 with the rst
purchases of equity gas from Egyptian LNG
Train 2, and in 2007, purchases from Atlantic
LNG Train 4 commenced.
In 2006, BG Group lifted its rst third-party
cargo from the Equatorial Guinea LNG (EGLNG)
project, followed by the rst delivery of gas
from Nigeria LNG (NLNG) Trains 4 and 5.
In October 2011, BG Group signed the rst
long-term LNG purchase agreement from a
project on the US Gulf Coast, agreeing to take
3.5 mtpa of LNG over a 20-year period from
Train 1 of the Cheniere-operated Sabine Pass
LNG terminal. In January 2012, BG Group agreed
to purchase an additional 2.0 mtpa over a
20-year period. The Sabine Pass project is
expected to commence deliveries in 2015.

Further details of LNG supply can be found on
page 48 within the statistical supplement.
LNG marketing
BG Groups LNG business has been built
around its portfolio of exible LNG supplies
that can be sold globally to capture greater
margin opportunities.
GEMS established LNG trading hubs in the
UK and Singapore and support operations in
Houston. GEMS is engaged in marketing LNG
to buyers throughout the world, both on a
long and short-term basis. The combination
of exible supply, shipping capacity and
commercial capability enable BG Groups
strategic approach to LNG marketing. In
addition to marketing its own contracted
portfolio of volumes, the Group also buys
and sells spot LNG cargoes.
The Group has market access to both the
USA, via capacity rights at Lake Charles
and Elba Island, and to the UK through its
50% ownership of the Dragon LNG terminal.
The Group also has a long-term contract to
supply the Quintero LNG terminal in Chile
(BG Group 20%) until 2030 with volumes
that ramp up to 3 mtpa by 2022.
Additionally, BG Group has made LNG sales
to more than 60 customers around the globe.
The Group has sold to 25 of the current
27 LNG importing countries. BG Group has
also bought LNG from 12 of the 17 LNG
producing countries.
As the Groups LNG supply increases with the
start-up of the QCLNG project, the Group has
entered into a number of long-term sales
contracts to manage its portfolio of supply.
In 2008, BG Group was selected by the
Energy Market Authority (EMA) of Singapore
to source and supply the Singapore market
on an exclusive basis with up to 3 mtpa of
LNG for up to 20 years. The Singapore receiving
terminal commenced commercial operations
in May 2013.
In 2010, BG Group signed a sales contract
with China National Offshore Oil Corporation
(CNOOC), focused on the QCLNG project in
Australia. The contract sets out the basis on
which CNOOC will purchase 3.6 mtpa of LNG
for a period of 20 years from 2014. Further, in
2013, BG Group committed to supply an
additional 5 mtpa of LNG to CNOOC beginning
in 2015 and sourced from the Groups global
portfolio. BG Groups total committed LNG sales
will be 8.6 mtpa, making the Group the largest
supplier of LNG to the worlds fastest-growing
energy market (see page 9 for full details).
In 2011, BG Group signed a sales agreement
with Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd. (Tokyo Gas) for the
supply of 1.2 mtpa of LNG for 20 years from
2015. Tokyo Gas will be supplied with LNG
from QCLNG and from BG Groups global
LNG portfolio (see page 9 for full details).
BG Group also signed a sales agreement with
Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. (Chubu Electric)
for the long-term supply of LNG. Under the
agreement, Chubu Electric will purchase up to
122 cargoes over 21 years, starting in 2014. This
will be supplied from BG Groups global LNG
portfolio, including QCLNG.
In May 2013, BG Group completed an agreement
for long-term sales to supply state-owned
Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation Limited
(GSPC) in India. BG Group will initially supply
1.25 mtpa of LNG beginning in 2015 for up
to 20 years, potentially increasing to 2.5 mtpa
after two years. GSPC will be supplied from
the Groups global LNG portfolio.
Lake Charles, USA
In 2001, BG Group signed a 22-year LNG
Terminalling Service Agreement with Trunkline
LNG Company (Trunkline LNG) to utilise the
capacity of its LNG import facility at Lake
Charles, Louisiana. The terminal has access
to 15 major intra-state and inter-state pipelines
through the Trunkline Gas Pipeline system.
In 2006, BG Group signed an agreement with
Trunkline LNG for upgrades to the facility and
also extended rights as the sole user of the
facilitys regasication capacity. The terminals
regasication services are fully contracted to
BG Group until 2030.
Following two expansions, the Lake Charles
facilitys sustainable baseload capacity is
1.8 bcfd (with peak capacity of 2.35 bcfd)
and it has two unloading berths.

In 2011, Lake Charles Exports LLC (LCE),
a joint venture between Trunkline LNGs
parent company and BG Group, submitted
an application for a LNG export licence.
Subsequently, the US Department of Energy
granted authorisation for LNG export from the
Lake Charles terminal to free trade agreement
(FTA) countries. In August 2013, LCE received
authorisation for the export of up to 15 mtpa
of LNG to non-FTA countries.
In April 2012, LCE began the pre-ling process
for the required Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) environmental permit
application to expand the Lake Charles terminal
to include liquefaction services. It is expected
that the full FERC ling will be completed by
the rst quarter of 2014.
Elba Island, USA
Since 2004, BG Group has been a marketer
of imported LNG at Elba Island, near Savannah,
Georgia after taking over contracted capacity
and long-term LNG supply from El Paso (now
Kinder Morgan). BG Group has 0.63 bcfd
send-out capacity of the LNG import facility
at Elba Island.
In 2010, the terminal was expanded and
construction was completed on the rst phase
of the 190-mile Elba Express pipeline. The
second phase went into service in April 2013,
increasing total Elba Express pipeline capacity to
1.2 bcfd, with 0.22 bcfd reserved for BG Group.
The Elba Express pipeline has the ability to ow
gas bi-directionally to connect production from
the Marcellus shale to fast-growing power and
gas markets near Savannah.
Additionally, BG Group entered into a long-term
transportation arrangement to construct the
Cypress pipeline expansion of the Southern
Natural Gas pipeline system. Cypress Phases I
and II now have the ability to supply approximately
336 000 mmbtud of natural gas to southern
Georgia and Florida markets.
Since the increase in US shale gas production,
GEMS has reduced LNG import commitments
into the USA at the Elba terminal, freeing
valuable cargoes for diversion to higher
value markets.
33
Dragon LNG, UK
In 2009, the Dragon LNG import terminal at
Milford Haven in Wales became operational.
Ownership of the terminal is BG Group 50%,
PETRONAS 50% and there are 20-year
arrangements in place governing the use of
capacity rights (BG Group 50%, PETRONAS
50%), allowing BG Group and PETRONAS to
each send out up to 3.8 bcm (134 bcf) gas per
year. BG Group has contracted pipeline capacity
with National Grid. The terminal includes a
combined heat and power plant which uses
natural gas boil-off to supply up to an
aggregate of 48 megawatt of electricity to
Dragon LNG and the grid and 73 megawatt
thermal of heat, in the form of hot water
for Dragon LNG.
BG Group uses the Dragon terminal capacity
when UK prices are internationally attractive,
sourcing the LNG from its global supply portfolio.
GNL Quintero S.A., Chile
BG Group has 20% ownership of GNL Quintero
S.A. (GNLQ) (ENAP 20%, ENDESA 20%,
Metrogas S.A. 20%, Enags S.A. 20%), which
owns and operates the 2.5 mtpa LNG import
terminal located in Quintero Bay, 110 kilometres
from Santiago.
The terminal was the rst onshore regasication
terminal to be operational in the southern
hemisphere, receiving its rst LNG cargo
in 2009. GNLQ have secured capacity rights in
the terminal and have arranged to offtake the
gas via 21-year agreements.
In 2012, BG Group closed the sale to Enags S.A.
of half of its original 40% equity interest in
GNLQ and also reached an agreement with
Enags S.A. for the sale of the remaining equity.
Completion of the sale of the nal 20% interest
is subject to lender and partner consents and
is expected to close by the end of 2013. The
agreement does not impact the Groups
contract to supply LNG to Chile.
Gas marketing
Sales are made under various short, medium
and long-term arrangements. BG Groups
customers include leading gas and electric
utilities, as well as industrial companies and
wholesale gas merchants.
In North America, BG Group has a US and
Canadian gas marketing business of around
4.5 bcfd and controls pipeline capacity of more
than 4.5 bcfd. It markets the Groups own shale
gas as well as imported LNG from Elba Island,
along with third-party gas supplies, to multiple
intermediary and end-use customers via the US
and Canadian natural gas pipeline infrastructure.
In addition to the LNG storage facilities at Lake
Charles and Elba Island, BG Group will from
time to time contract for natural gas storage
capacity on a seasonal and/or medium to
long-term basis to facilitate its operational and
commercial requirements.
In the UK, another highly liquid gas market,
BG Group sells gas on a wholesale basis
principally at the UK National Balancing Point
(NBP) under contracts with varying durations.
This includes the Groups production of
2.5 bcm of gas from the UKCS which in 2012
was the equivalent of approximately 3% of UK
gas demand.
BG Group is an active participant in the entry
capacity auctions held by National Grid and in
the on-the-day commodity market and other
electronic trading systems that help shippers
balance their supply and demand. BG Group
owns both import and export capacity in the
Interconnector pipeline (UK to mainland
Europe), which it uses to ship gas to take
advantage of market price differentials
and for sub-lets to third parties.
In Australia, BG Group has a gas and power
marketing business that includes both domestic
gas sales and the dispatch of electricity from
Condamine power station into the National
Electricity Market. Domestic gas sales range
from short to long-term covering both rm and
exible volumes.
In Singapore, BG Group currently has nalised
contracts for the supply of around 2.7 mtpa
of LNG out of its franchise 3 mtpa agreement.
The Group has signed gas sales contracts with
a variety of customers in Singapore, including
six large-scale power generation companies.
Oil marketing
With oil production from BG Groups assets
in the UK North Sea, Kazakhstan and the rapidly
growing production from Brazils Santos
Basin, GEMS is becoming a leading marketer
of crude oil to high-value markets. BG Group
is expanding its oil team to optimise the sales
of these material volumes in global oil markets.
BG Group expects to lift more than 300 Suezmax
cargoes of crude oil over the next ve years
from the Groups Brazilian assets alone.
In 2011, BG Group took delivery of its rst
chartered dynamically positioned oil tanker.
The tanker is used to shuttle crude oil to
markets from the oating production, storage
and ofoading units in the Santos Basin,
offshore Brazil.
Further, BG Group signed 10-year time charters
for the construction and use of another four oil
shuttle tankers. The Samba Spirit arrived in
Brazil in June 2013, with two of the other three
vessels scheduled for delivery later in 2013,
and the third in early 2014.
LNG Shipping
BG Group has a long history in LNG shipping,
having been involved in the development of
both the prototype and the industrys rst
working LNG carriers.
BG Group currently controls one of the
largest eets of modern LNG carriers of any
international oil and gas company. Key to
meeting the growing demand for natural gas
is a exible strategic approach that allows
BG Group to seize new opportunities in the
increasingly diverse LNG market. The focus
is on identifying market opportunities and
managing long-range delivery logistics,
regularly diverting cargoes from the Atlantic
basin to the Pacic basin.
BG Group secures and controls a competitive,
exible and safe LNG shipping portfolio with
sufcient capacity to meet expected LNG
transportation requirements. BG Group has
a core eet of ships that it owns or has under
long-term charter. In addition, it contracts
further shipping as required on a short or
medium-term basis to capture business
opportunities and maintain a balanced
shipping position.
In 2010, BG Group took delivery of four
new-generation, energy-efcient LNG carriers.
The ships have a capacity of 170 000 cubic metres
and are among the rst carriers in the world
to integrate onboard reliquefaction with the
propulsion system, allowing natural gas boil-off
to be reliqueed and returned to cargo tanks.
As part of the LNG sales agreements signed
with CNOOC in 2010 and 2013, BG Group and
partners CNOOC and China LNG Shipping
(Holdings) Co. have tendered for the design and
construction of up to four LNG vessels. These
vessels are expected to serve the Groups global
LNG trading needs.
Shippings maritime function serves as the
centre of marine expertise for BG Group.
Shipping manages marine risk by dening
and upholding proactive international marine
standards and requirements and tracking
compliance globally. It also provides technical
expertise for new and evolving technologies,
as well as technical input during development
and construction phases of shipbuilding.

(1) Financial information is stated in $ million unless otherwise stated. Business performance excludes disposals, certain re-measurements and impairments as exclusion of these items provides a
clear and consistent presentation of the underlying operating performance of the Groups ongoing business. 2012 and 2011 results have been restated to reect the presentation of the businesses
that comprised the Transmission & Distribution segment as discontinued operations and the adoption of the amended IAS 19 in respect of dened benet pensions obligations.
(2) The IASB issued an amended IAS 19 Employee Benets in June 2011. The main amendment is to eliminate the option to defer the recognition of actuarial gains and losses, known as the corridor
method. The impact on the Group is that all actuarial gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income as they occur. In addition, net interest expense is calculated based on applying
a single discount rate to the net decit, replacing interest cost and expected return on plan assets. The amended standard has been adopted by the Group for the year ended
31 December 2013 and comparative information has been restated.
(3) Includes share of joint ventures and associates net nance costs.

and other investments. Includes capital investment relating to discontinued operations for 2012 of $281m and for 2011 of $317m.
(7) The denominator uses the total net proved reserves changes over the three years excluding acquisitions, divestments and production.
(8) These gures are calculated on a SEC basis, which includes all reserves revisions and fuel gas.
