The document discusses Royal Dutch Shell's efforts to reduce flaring of natural gas in Nigeria. It summarizes Shell's flaring reduction program in Nigeria, which has invested over $3 billion to gather 60% of associated natural gas production since 2000. The program aims to spend an additional $4 billion on oil and gas projects to gather another 35% of associated gas by 2014-2015. This would reduce Shell's flaring intensity in Nigeria below the global average. The document also notes that sustained investment in gas infrastructure and deregulated gas pricing are needed to significantly grow Nigeria's domestic gas industry.

3. CAUTIONARY NOTE
The companies in which Royal Dutch Shell plc directly and indirectly owns investments are separate entities. In this presentation “Shell”, “Shell group” and “Royal
Dutch Shell” are sometimes used for convenience where references are made to Royal Dutch Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general. Likewise, the words “we”, “us”
and “our” are also used to refer to subsidiaries in general or to those who work for them. These expressions are also used where no useful purpose is served by
identifying the particular company or companies. „„Subsidiaries‟‟, “Shell subsidiaries” and “Shell companies” as used in this presentation refer to companies in which
Royal Dutch Shell either directly or indirectly has control, by having either a majority of the voting rights or the right to exercise a controlling influence. The companies
in which Shell has significant influence but not control are referred to as “associated companies” or “associates” and companies in which Shell has joint control are
referred to as “jointly controlled entities”. In this presentation, associates and jointly controlled entities are also referred to as “equity-accounted investments”. The term
“Shell interest” is used for convenience to indicate the direct and/or indirect (for example, through our 23% shareholding in Woodside Petroleum Ltd.) ownership
interest held by Shell in a venture, partnership or company, after exclusion of all third-party interest.

8. FLARING SUMMARY
SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS MADE
SPDC JV committed to reduce continuous flaring in
Nigeria, and complies with Nigerian laws and
regulations on flaring
Flaring and flare intensity dropped by ~60% since
2002
SPDC JV spent >$3bln to gather ~60% of its
associated gas (AG) production since 2000
Closing in high gas to oil ratio wells
Further ~$4bln on oil & gas projects, gathering a
further 35% by 2014/2015, taking SPDC JV
flaring intensity below current global average
Sustained funding, security and investment in gas
infrastructure and deregulated gas pricing are
required in order to significantly grow domestic
gas industry
