Key Highlights
 No recordable Lost Time Incident (“LTI”) took place in Kuwait Energy’s operated areas during this quarter.
 Average daily Working Interest (“WI”) production for Q2 2016 is 23,942 boepd; a decrease of 7.1%, as
compared to Q1 2016 (25,747 boepd) mainly due to natural production decline in ERQ and Abu Sennan in
Egypt.
 Faihaa-1 well in Block 9, Iraq continues to produce steadily with Q2 2016 average daily WI production of
3,246 boepd (YTD average daily WI production of 3,321 boepd); a slight decrease from last quarter’s
production rate as the well continues to stabilize. The daily production from Faihaa-1 commenced on 12
October 2015; with regular crude export started on the 28th of that same month.
 Faihaa-2 well in Block 9 was spud on 3 January 2016 and reached target depth on 25 May 2016. Extensive
testing has been ongoing with expected production to commence in August 2016. All formation tops
matched the original design prognosis. Furthermore, the Mishrif Reservoir at Faihaa-2 has shown better
reservoir quality with a thicker and a higher (larger) Net Pay zone.
 Kuwait Energy is expected to be allocated its first cargo from Iraq in September 2016 covering its
production of oil in Block 9 from October 2015 to March 2016 for a gross amount of US$13.9 million
(Kuwait Energy’s Share: 60%). As for Q2 2016 production; Kuwait Energy has already invoiced the Iraqi
government for production during this period, for a gross amount of US$10.0 million.
 In Abu Sennan in Egypt, Al Jahraa SE-1X new exploration well proved to be a successful discovery with an
initial production rate of around 1,000 bopd (gross) from the AR-E formation. Kuwait Energy is now
engaged with the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) to attain the Development License
associated with this discovery. Once obtained, commercial production will commence. Furthermore, to
improve productivity from the existing ASH-1X well, a sidetracking commenced on 16 July 2016.
 Siba's Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) works is gaining momentum and progressing
with construction activities on the ground. However, delays to the planned first gas date are expected
due to non-controllable prevailing conditions.
 Since the end of April 2015, Block 5 production in Yemen has been shut down. Kuwait Energy continues
to monitor the situation and is operationally-ready to commence is production for when the situation
permits .
