Our Strategic Objectives1. Creating Value for all our Stakeholders
In an environment of no short-term upward flexibility in feed gas supply from domestic sources and continuing uncertainties in international markets, it is imperative that we continue to satisfy our customers as a dependable supplier of LNG and NGL whilst maximising the value along our entire hydrocarbon chain. We will achieve this through further minimising energy usage, hydrocarbon losses and operating costs and maximising the value creation of all our assets by seeking and exploiting conventional and non-conventional commercial and logistic opportunities.
2. Engaging Effectively with our External Stakeholders
The reputation of our Company and sustaining our licence to operate depends critically on retaining the trust of customers, suppliers and contractors and their continuing desire to do business with OLNG. This can never be taken for granted and will depend, ultimately, on the professionalism, integrity and fairness that all our employees demonstrate in their relationships with our stakeholders.
In equal measure, effective and engaging relationships with our communities and the Omani people at large are equally important for retaining our licence to operate. As we move our efforts in this area for a Social Investment Programme to a Development Foundation, it is imperative that the effectiveness and reputation of the Company's Social Investment activities increase.
3. Managing our Business Safely, Reliably and Efficiently
The reputation of our industry and credibility of Oman LNG as a reliable and trustworthy supplier has grown to depend strongly on excellence in personal safety and asset integrity, coupled to effective management of all the business processes within the Company, plant reliability and dependable delivery of our products. Achieving top-quartile performance in these areas requires operational excellence, organisational effectiveness and passionate adherence to best practices.
4. Growing our People and our Business
After 13 years of successful operations and the development of a truly professional cadre of staff, our focus moves to transforming Oman LNG into a mature organisation with efficiency and professionalism at the core of all we do. With the employment opportunities in the 2013-2016 Business Plan, we must ensure that we remain attractive to the best talent and offer development and challenges that bring real personal growth to our employees and parallel growth in our business results in the critical areas of optimised revenues, cost efficiency and robust processes. It wins the trust of our customers, communities and other stakeholders. The case for continuous change remains compelling.

In the year 2013, our LNG industry entered a new era in its development with the integration of Oman LNG and Qalhat LNG into one entity.
The many areas of similarities and indeed mutual cooperation that existed between both companies prior to the integration, present clear opportunities for growth that is expected to come from a stronger, unified establishment that has now emerged under Oman LNG.
Yet as a significant contributor to the national economy, the industry carries substantial responsibilities that go beyond revenue and into other responsibilities including safety of operations, responsiveness to the needs of society and empowering employees to effectively handle the challenges of future growth.
I am proud to note that 2013 was another remarkable year for the Company. Oman LNG successfully maintained its excellent record in safety with the achievement of almost 10 million man-hours without a Lost Time Injury (LTI).
The new integrated structure has also brought more opportunities for nationals to broaden their experience in this critical industry and work to make important contributions for its development.
The global LNG trade is forecast to grow and our country’s role as a reliable supplier for this much-in-demand fuel will be better enhanced by our people consciously taking responsibility for its efficient operations.
Oman LNG continues to be an outstanding example for other businesses in the way it supports the Government’s aspirations for developing society and improving the quality of life in the country.
Considering the average pricing for a barrel of oil stood at US$ 110 in 2013, the results of Oman LNG’s performance for the year show stewardship as seen in this report, one of the best since the inception of the Company.
In the years ahead, the culture of prudent management and careful attention to the business, ensuring the best use of resources will be the overriding task of the Company. This in turn will impact positively on the country’s progressive development for our common good.
We offer our appreciations to His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said for his wisdom, guidance and support to this industry and also to the Government of Oman for its commitment to the progress of both the business and the workforce.
H.E. Dr. Mohammed bin Hamad bin Saif Al RumhyMinister of Oil & Gas and Chairman of the Board of Directors

Board Composition
The Board of Directors comprises a maximum of fourteen (14) non-executive members as follows: Government of the Sultanate of Oman: Seven (7) members, including the Chairman and the Vice-Chairman; Shell: Two (2) members; Other shareholders: One (1) member each. Itochu Corporation is represented at the Board meetings by an Itochu nominee who has no voting rights.
Board Activities in 2013
In 2013, the Board of Directors met in March, June and November. At the first meeting in March held at the OLNG plant in Sur, the Board reviewed/ approved the 2012 corporate performance and scorecard. It also endorsed the financial statement and final dividend for approval by Shareholders at the General Meeting. The General Meeting of the Shareholders also approved the appointment of KPMG as the Company’s external auditors for 2013. The Board also approved the budget for the Company’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) project. In addition, the Board received a report on the status of the integration exercise of Oman LNG and Qalhat LNG. The summer Board meeting in June 2013 was aligned with Qalhat LNG Board at the same venue. It was a momentous and ground breaking meeting for both Boards as each of the Boards separately approved the commencement of the integration of the management of the two companies. The approvals were preceded by a presentation made by the consultants – Deloitte – to a joint sitting of the two Boards. The joint sitting enabled the directors of the two companies to get fuller insight of the proposed integration and provided opportunity for questions and issues to be addressed at the same sitting, enabling all sides to have common understanding going forward. After the joint sitting, each Board met separately to consider and approve the integration within its own governance framework. This was the
beginning of a very special journey of both companies. The Board also reviewed the Oman LNG Business Plan 2014-2018 Premises.
In the November meeting, the Board approved the Proposed Business Plan 2014–2018 and the 2014 Operating and Capital Budgets. The newly revamped Manual of Authorities reflecting necessary changes arising from the integration was approved. In addition the Integrated Assurance Plan 2014 – 2018 was reviewed and approved. The CEO presented his report for the year 2013. One of the key highlights was the successful integration of the Management of Oman LNG and Qalhat LNG.
Shareholders’ Committees
The Shareholders’ Committees were established under the Shareholders’ Agreement to assist the Board in an advisory capacity. There are four committees which address 1) Technical 2) Personnel 3) Financial and 4) Commercial matters and meet prior to each board meeting. Each shareholder has the right to be represented on each shareholder committee. To improve efficiency, the Personnel, Financial and Commercial Committees meet jointly, whilst the Technical Committee sits separately. The Shareholder Committees do not take decisions for the Company, but

review and endorse the management recommendations for the Board of Directors to approve. Each committee met three times during 2013. As planned, these meetings were prior to the meetings of the Board.
Board Committees
There are two Board Committees: 1) Audit Committee and 2) Management Remuneration and Succession Committee.
The Audit Committee
The purpose of the Audit Committee is to provide an independent oversight of the systems of internal controls and financial reporting processes through a review of the quality, independence and effectiveness of internal and external audits. The Audit Committee reports directly to the Board of Directors via its Chairman and comprises non-executive members as follows: Government of the Sultanate of Oman: Three (3) representatives, including the Chairman; Shell: One (1) member; Non-Shell shareholders: One (1) representative chosen in rotation; Any Shareholder: One (1) technical representative agreed by the shareholders. The Audit Committee met three times in 2013. The meetings were attended by the Acting Chief Internal Auditor and the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Financial Officer was present
when the Statutory Financial Audit and Management Letter were presented by the Statutory External Auditor, KPMG.
To ensure independence, the Chief Internal Auditor reports directly to the Chairman of the Audit Committee. In line with best practice, the Internal Audit department adopts a risk based methodology in proposing and executing its audit programme. Several assurance audits were also carried out by external parties, including the Company’s External Auditors, Shareholders, International Standards Organisations (ISO) and the Technical Advisor. During the 2013 meetings, the audits carried out during the year were reviewed by the committee for levels of compliance with the control framework. As part of its mandate to ensure an effective control is in place, the committee also tracked the management's compliance with proper and timely closure of agreed audit actions. In addition, the Committee reviewed audit reports, the management letter and associated Financial Statements for 2012 by the Statutory External Auditors for endorsement by the Board of Directors.
Management Remuneration and Succession Committee
The Management Remuneration and Succession Committee was established
in November 2008 by a Board Resolution to ensure that Oman LNG continues to identify, and develop its leadership talent, providing it with rewards and incentives commensurate and competitive with market practices. The Committee reports directly to the Board of Directors via its Chairman and comprises non-executive members as follows: Government of the Sultanate of Oman: Three (3) representatives, including the Chairman; Shell: One (1) member; Non-Shell Shareholders: Two (2) representatives chosen in rotation. The first sitting of the Committee was held in 2009.
The Company Management
The Management of the Company implements an Enterprise-wide Risk Management (ERM) approach that provides a proactive framework of risk management and mitigates risks and their potential impacts on the achievement of the Company’s strategic objectives and goals. Each identified risk is assessed and appropriate measures are introduced to provide all reasonable assurances that threats will not materialise and in the event they do any adverse impact is minimised. The process and identified risks are reviewed annually.
ANNUAL REPORT 2013

The integration of Oman LNG and Qalhat LNG, without doubt made 2013 a defining year for the country’s LNG industry. With steadfast support from the Government of Oman and other shareholders, the complete integration of the two companies on 1st September has paved the way for the LNG industry in Oman to provide a more efficient delivery of supply to our buyers and the wider energy market, in a manner that is reliable, yet flexible in responding to rising global demand for energy. The binding together of the two companies into one stronger entity under Oman LNG brought to actualisation many months of careful, detailed planning, to make capital of diverse strengths, and minimise any potential risks or competition they posed as separate companies.As a result, we are now better positioned to optimise our resources for the benefit of the Government, other shareholders, the market and all our other stakeholders.Our focus in the years ahead will be to maintain the integrity of our plant assets, continue to place a premium on health, safety and the environment (HSE) that safeguards our people and operations, and through a robust training and development programme, equip ourselves to efficiently meet the challenges in the industry.
HSEBuilding on past records of excellence in safety, we were able to close 2013 with a strong record, achieving almost 10 million man-hours without a single Lost Time Injury (LTI). With all hands on deck, we aim to sustain this performance.Although the integration resulted in an overall increase in staff requiring greater HSE consciousness, this level of attainment in our HSE was also against a backdrop of shutdown activities that drew high numbers of personnel to the plant to execute necessary maintenance/repair work and return the train to production in time to meet our obligations.We remain strongly committed to our emphasis on safety. A commitment that makes us chronically uneasy about taking any activity for granted and to avoid complacency with our achievements in this area. Further, in 2013, we continued to involve resident contractors in our HSE programmes, engaging all staff with personal commitments of “I will” statements and thus promoting our culture of safety with all our stakeholders.
OmanisationAnother consequence of the integration exercise was an increase in levels of Omanisation at Oman LNG, which at the end of 2013 stood at just over 90%. This figure is in line with recently released government target for Omanisation in the country’s energy industry.Across the Company, the integration has opened up new positions to adequately cater for an expanded portfolio of business activities in different areas. These positions are being filled by capable Omani hands to drive the business forward and present our people with valuable learning that prepares them for leadership in many aspects of our business.
Social ResponsibilityAs a responsible value-adding corporate citizen, Oman LNG supported a number of welfare programmes under its social investment programme in the country.The programmes undertaken by the Company in the course of the year included:
• The building of a state-of-the-ar t Sailing School in Sur, in partnership with Oman Sail.
• With Oman Road Safety Association (ORSA), the Company launched a Road Safety Mascot to drive home the message of safety on our roads through artfully crafted communication messages.
• Vehicles for the Omani Women’s Association (OWA) to aid transportation of children and women for the association’s activities.
• Provision of modern health equipment to Sur Hospital.
Our support, for which we have received a number of recognitions in the past, remains a vital contribution to the development of Oman and its people.
With plans for the establishment of an Oman LNG Foundation, the Company will have a dedicated team to further execute its carefully tailored social investment programmes.
Our ResultsIn this annual report, I am happy to present you with some of the highlights of our financial performance and operations in 2013. A year which saw record breaking achievements in different areas of the business.These results are an unfolding manifestation of our vision of being the “Best At What We Do” so we maintain our position as a trusted partner throughout the LNG value chain and in the growth, development and diversification of the economy of the Sultanate and its people.The management and staff of Oman LNG who strived and worked quite hard throughout the year are extremely grateful for the continuing guidance of our shareholders, and the Board of Directors and its Chairman for their support throughout 2013.We also recognise the opportunities that have been created for all of us through the continuing success of Oman, made possible by the vision and leadership of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said and the Government of Oman.

History
Qalhat LNG began operations in 2005 with a single train that made up the third liquefied natural gas production unit at Qalhat in Sur. The train is operated by Oman LNG on behalf of Qalhat LNG.
Qalhat LNG has three long-term sale and purchase agreements (SPAs) for a total contracted volume of approximately 3.3 million metric tonnes per annum (mmtpa).
The agreements to supply LNG include a 20-year SPA with Spain’s Union Fenosa Gas (1.65 mmtpa), a 17-year SPA with Japan’s Osaka Gas (0.85 mmtpa) and a 15-year SPA with Mitsubishi Japan (0.8 mmtpa).
On 1st September 2013, Qalhat LNG became completely integrated with Oman LNG.
Financial Highlights of Qalhat LNG for 2013
• Revenue amounted to US$ 1.04 billion. More than a third of this generated via diversion transactions.
• Our investments are performing extremely well. As at the end of the year, we have invested in five entities with an average yield of 13% in 2013. Taking capital appreciation into perspective the total return would be 53%. We will continue our mission of
carefully scouting for more opportunities without getting exposed to undue risk.
• In spite of challenges, we are pleased to report that we, along with our long term partners, successfully diverted 30 cargoes from 2013 ADP.
