The Shell LNG Outlook, launched in London on February 20th, is an assessment of the global liquefied natural gas (LNG) market. It finds that China and India were two of the fastest growing buyers, with the number of LNG importers worldwide up to 35, from 10 at the start of the century.

factors that could affect the future operations of Royal Dutch Shell and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements included in this release,
including (without limitation): (a) price fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas; (b) changes in demand for Shell’s products; (c) currency fluctuations; (d) drilling and production results; (e) reserves
estimates; (f) loss of market share and industry competition; (g) environmental and physical risks; (h) risks associated with the identification of suitable potential acquisition properties and targets,
and successful negotiation and completion of such transactions; (i) the risk of doing business in developing countries and countries subject to international sanctions; (j) legislative, fiscal and
regulatory developments including regulatory measures addressing climate change; (k) economic and financial market conditions in various countries and regions; (l) political risks, including the
risks of expropriation and renegotiation of the terms of contracts with governmental entities, delays or advancements in the approval of projects and delays in the reimbursement for shared costs;
and (m) changes in trading conditions. There can be no assurance that future dividend payments will match or exceed previous dividend payments. All forward-looking statements contained in this
release are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

release.
With respect to operating costs synergies indicated, such savings and efficiencies in procurement spend include economies of scale, specification standardisation and operating efficiencies across
operating, capital and raw material cost areas.

Policymakers increasingly choose gas

Leaders’ Communique pledged to ‘enhance collaboration on solutions that promote natural gas’ as ‘a less emission-
intensive fossil fuel’
170+ members agreed sulphur limit in shipping fuel of 0.5% from 2020
LNG as a fuel contains virtually zero sulphur vs. 3.5% specification for global marine fuel today
13th Five Year Plan targets 45 bcm of incremental gas consumption by 2020. China has suspended more than 100
coal-fired plants either approved or under construction
“We have given priority to move towards a gas based economy. Effort must be made to increase
natural gas production while also creating import infrastructure to meet the growing domestic demand.’’
Prime Minister Modi
France and Canada announced plans to phase out coal fired generation by 2023 and 2030 respectively. They join
Austria, Belgium, Britain, Denmark and Portugal in pledging to close coal fired generation by the end of the next
decade
EU Liquefied Natural Gas Strategy acknowledged critical role of gas in support of energy security, increasing
competitiveness and greenhouse gas emissions targets

Summary
 Strong growth in LNG supply in 2016, one-third of new supply online
 LNG demand growth from China, India and new entrants absorbed supply growth in 2016
 Continued LNG supply growth to 2020
 Global demand for gas is expected to increase by 2% a year between 2015 and 2030; LNG
is set to rise at twice that rate at 4 to 5%
 Future LNG demand growth will be driven by: policy, floating storage regasification units,
replacing declining domestic gas production, small scale LNG and transport
 LNG and Russian gas imports required to balance European gas demand
 New investments required to meet growing LNG demand after 2020
 LNG trade is changing to meet the evolving needs of buyers, including shorter-term and lower-
volume contracts
