Panel #2 - January 18th - Recommendations On Biodiversity Strategy and Approach:

1. Develop biodiversity nurseries for rare or endangered species. 2. Develop an orchid collection process to apply during the tree felling activities, as many species and specimens of orchids are present in the Project area and implement an orchid nursery on site. 3. Develop a robust avoidance register to properly record the areas that were avoided by the Project for biodiversity reasons. 4. Develop a very robust biodiversity baseline study and monitoring process before any activity takes place. It’s extremely important to monitor and be able to provide evidence for invasive species, and show that none of them, including chytrid fungus, are introduced by the Project. 5. Learn about traditional conservation practices (for example when to collect specific species) and include them in conservation activities. 6. Develop conservation deeds, and at a later stage develop conservation areas.

Panel #2 - Recommendations On Biodiversity strategy and approach:

7. Develop conservation programs, via national Non-governmental organizations. 8. Develop conservation programs with a sustainable financial component. This could be a cash crop activity with high economic value such as vanilla or cocoa, research and monitoring activities or scientific tourism. 9. Develop a scholarship program to encourage Papua New Guineans to pursue their university studies on biodiversity related topics, including postgraduate programs. 10. Minimize deforestation to the extent possible and provide a restoration plan, taking into account climate benefits and programs which involve local communities. 11. Already used and logged areas are restoring fast as the forest environment is very dynamic and regenerates quite easily. Therefore, be generous regarding the surface multiplication factor to reach biodiversity net gain. 12. Engage with policy makers to ensure that they are aware about offsets and what the company is trying to achieve and that other projects are not affecting the delivery of the offsets.

Panel #2 - Recommendations On Community engagement: 1. Foster empowerment in all the community development activities by encouraging community ownership of the projects. The Project should hear all voices, including women, including young people. The communities should consider the projects theirs, rather than identifying them as Papua LNG. 2. Develop a scholarship program for secondary education students. 3. Continue engaging nearby local communities, including those who might not be declared as landowners of the Project by the government, both in the Gulf Province and in the Central Province. 4. Involve religious groups in the community engagement and community development activities lead by the Project. 5. Sponsor on-going community learning and development programmes that are designed to foster mindset change from dependency to ownership with a focus on young people and adults who are marginalized from the formal education system. This could be done in partnership with an NGO learning provider such as Ginigoada Foundation. 6. Encourage community driven early learning activities in all villages so that the road to literacy can be developed from an early age. Potential Early learning educators would be identified in communities to be trained. 7. Support community activities towards improvement of the local health and education services (elementary and primary schools and health posts).

Julien Pouget announcing the launch of the fully integrated FEED for Papua LNG on March 6, 2023

The celebration event for the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) phase of the Papua LNG project occurred at Port Moresby, on Monday, March 6th, 2023. This milestone achievement represents a significant step forward for both Papua New Guinea and the Papua LNG' partners, TotalEnergies, ExxonMobil and Santos. The celebration event was held in the presence of the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, Hon. James Marape who highlighted the importance of the Papua LNG project for the people of Papua New Guinea and expressed his strong support for the Project's success. The Minister for Petroleum and Energy, Hon. Kerenga Kua, also expressed his support.

The logo draws inspiration from two important symbols of the Gulf Province: the traditional sailing vessel known as the lakatoi and the powerful and sacred crocodile. • The lakatoi has been used for centuries by the people of the Gulf Province to transport goods and people along the coast and rivers of the region, including the Purari River. • The crocodile is a powerful and sacred animal in the culture of the Gulf Province. By incorporating both the lakatoi sail and the crocodile into our new logo, we are paying tribute to the rich cultural heritage of the Gulf Province and its people. We are also acknowledging the important role that the natural environment plays in our Project activities, and our commitment to preserving it for future generations.

Community Development SOCIAL BASELINE STUDY Between 2015 - 2016, Papua LNG commissioned detailed field research to assess the key social and demographic data across the Project area. This is defined as the wider catchment of Petroleum Retention License (PRL-15), the Purari River down to the Gulf Coast, Urika River, Pie River then inland along the Wame River to Varoi River and communities within this catchment. The study data was collated and analysed in the Environmental Impact Statement, which was submitted to the PNG Government in 2019. Researchers assessed the issues plus direct and indirect impacts, namely: 1. Limited health facilities nearby + access to medication and services and very limited skilled health workers in remote areas. This impacts disease rates, spread and mortality. Young children and aged people being the most vulnerable. 2. A lack of education facilities nearby + limited consistent teachers. This impacts literacy, numeracy, developing problem solving and social skills, later impacting family and community social skills plus conflict resolution capacity. 3. Limited access to clean water and hygiene facilities, impacting all aspects of life at every stage of life. In 2022, Papua LNG again commissioned further social baseline research. This work is still underway. The research scope is reviewing each village that was originally surveyed, tracking what has stayed the same and what has changed. This updated research will inform social investment in 2023 and beyond.

CLO speaking with community members on the Project area of Influence



Community Development OUR APPROACH Our goal for community investment is to be a responsible and proactive neighbor and member of the Gulf regional community. We do this by being a consistent, reliable and inclusive partner within the communities and wider region where our facilities and operations are based. We are conscious of balancing development while respectfully recognizing the traditional way of life for local communities. Our approach is that changes must be community-led and community-endorsed. We focus on supporting initiatives that: 1. Promote sustainability through capacity building 2. Empower marginalized people and, 3. Help grow socioeconomic activities Through directly addressing Health Education Women empowerment Access to energy Our approach is collaborative. We actively seek to partner with registered nongovernment organizations, the private sector and government. By working together, we leverage our shared and collective approach to achieve more than each organization could if we were working alone. Our upstream operations are remote. There are limited roads, communications services, ad-hoc staffed health facilities and under-staffed schools. Community lifestyles are largely subsistence based, which depends on what people are able to grow, hunt, harvest, or make from locally self-sourced materials.

Human Rights We are committed to respecting human rights. Here are a few examples: We encourage women to speak up with a dedicated network of female village liaison officers and female community liaison officers We do not use or tolerate the use of aggression, physical or legal threats by those against people who are exercising their right to freedom of expression or their right to peaceful assembly or protest We organize regular trainings on Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VPSHR).

Community Development OUTCOMES

Partnership with Kapuna Rural Hospital and Gulf Christian Services

Our investment is targeted to address the key areas of community needs that were highlighted in the social baseline studies that were completed in 2017. For each community development partnership we support, we aim to measure not just the activity, but what happened as a result of the activity - the sustained outcomes. It is also important to reflect where gaps emerge in our social investment approach. We assess where we can better address contributing factors that we might not have initially considered when we developed each partnership.

Community Development OUTCOMES Kapuna Rural Health Centre is located 98.7km from Kerema town. With no existing road, it can only be accessed via river system or air.

The Papua LNG project was one of the main contributors by providing logistics support to Kapuna Rural hospital in transporting construction materials to the project site. Today, an average of 150 tons of cargo is off loaded every month. On November 3, 2022, Papua LNG signed an MoU with Gulf Christian Services (GCS), to support in the delivery of primary health care and other services to 30,000 remote villagers in the region. We will also provide support in education, through the construction of a new ward for Tuberculosis patients.

Ward Development Project Ward development planning is a mechanism established by the PNG Government 30 years ago. Under the Organic Law on Provincial and Local Level Governments, provinces were required to formulate and implement a 5year development plan based on an annual budget, to improve economic growth, provincial development and the standard of living. The Papua LNG project has a contract with Tanorama Limited who will provide Ward Development Planning trainers. The objective of the partnership is for trainers to receive training, followed by Ward Recorders. This can also be an opportunity for the Ward recorder to collect updated data every 5 years, which will then be used to inform policies and strategic plans for the Gulf Provincial Government.

The training is in three phases over six months: Phase 1: 20 Trainers to receive training Phase 2: 5 Ward Recorders to be trained Phase 3: Ward Development Planning (a 5-year ward plan)

Project Outcomes: Ward Councilors and ward recorders are skilled and knowledgable in producing a ward development plan The creation of a 5-year ward development plan Updated ward data

What will change if we achieve Final Investment Decision (FID)? After the Final Investment decision, the Project will start implementing its longterm plans. The main focus will still be on health, education, women empowerment and access to energy. A multi-year plan, is being developed with the relevant partners, including the government and NGOs.

Tree Felling: Operator's Approach TREE FELLING NOT A ROUTINE ACTIVITY Recruitment of Tree Felling Specialists involved on PNG LNG to capitalise on experienced staff A very vigilant Validation process for contractor tree felling crew competencies by the Operator's Tree Felling Specialist Implementation of the Operator's Procedure for Conducting Safe Manual Tree Felling Methodologies: Manual and Mechanical (safer process for larger area and difficulty accessing) Capitalise on local knowledge by recruiting within local communities Safety is a #1 Priority

The Project has committed to stakeholders, including the PNG Government, that first cargo will be acheived in December 2027. This commitment is currently on critical path due to the project restart and complications from COVID-19. Numerous sequencing and project delivery scenarios have been studied to optimize the delivery and maintain commitments with the following challenges encountered: Some activities cannot be compressed as they are linked; as an example, build Road 3 is necessary to establish access prior to commencing activities at CPF. Some activities cannot occur at the same time as these 'simultaneous operations' (SIMOPS) present an unacceptable safety risk due to shared workspace, especially a concern for Tree Felling activities. Increasing resources (i.e., number of people or machines) is not always achievable as base demand is already challenging Contractors. SIMOPS would result in increasing requirements for footprint (i.e., more people, more beds, bigger camps, more intensive water use etc).

21

Expansion of Herd base Expansion of footprint and upgrading of existing unloading facility Area calculation for Herd Base extension - 1.7 hectares Energies is committed to safeguarding these values of Current conditions at the Herd Base does not allow for the mobilization in achieving heavy equipment in safe conditions. The work is required to create additional Biodiversity Netbarges Gain for storage areas (200,000 tonnes) and to allow the unloading of aggregates.

Road 3: Rehabilitation of 1.4km of existing road and creation of 3km of additional access track Access to the Central Processing Facility location is key to immediately commencing: 1) Final Investment Decision (FID) is taken and 2)with: Ensuring a Conformity timely start-up of the facility. - 2.7 hectares



Road 5: Rehabilitation of part of the existing road to the second bridge (5.2km) - 4.3 hectares The work is required to accelerate the construction of road 5 (~25km) and to gain access to the well pads to commence drilling operations and avoid simultaneous operations near producing wells. Road 5 is the main access route to the Antelope and Elk extraction sites. InterOil built this road in 2014 up to Antelope (25km). It has since been eroded and the hydraulic structures (bridges, culverts) have been damaged. We want to access the first bridges, located at Point Km 2.9 and Point Km 5.2 to rehabilitate them, allowing for the construction contractor to mobilize quickly and safely.

Disposal of Excess soil R3-01 - 2.7 hectares Preparation of an area for the storage of excavated soil. For the previously mentioned works (Herd base extension, R5 and R3 activities), we need to open up an area on which we will store the excess soil after the earthworks. This area will be prepared (drained and reinforced) and will be replanted after being used during the Project phase.

22

Pre-Final Investment Decision Clearing OUR BIODIVERSITY ACTIONS Optimizing the footprint To minimize the footprint and limit the environmental impact, the number of locations has been reduced and contained. For example, upgrading the existing logistics base instead of building a new facility at a separate location. In addition to cancelling the airstrip extension plan and instead using the existing airstrip length and smaller plans.

Pre-Clearance surveys This process identifies sensitive environments and habitats. For each location the process involves detailed assessment and reports on roosting, breeding, nesting and threatened species, priority ecosystem services, archaeological burial sites, plus areas of religious importance. Specific mitigation measures will then be planned for each location. Pre-clearance surveys are also identifying rare species for translocation or propagation purposes for use in rehabilitation seedbank and topsoil preservation: stripping, separation and stockpiling of cleared topsoil is planned. This ensures the inherent seed-bank plus, any coarse woody debris, is collected for future rehabilitation of each area.

Restore Bare sites will be rehabilitated as soon as possible to promote a stable selfsustaining landscape. This will involve using native vegetation to regenerate areas when active rehabilitation measures are required. Allowing forest edges to naturally regenerate by creating appropriate conditions. For example, ripping the substrate, replacing topsoil and applying mulch. Where appropriate, ripping compacted surfaces across the slope to facilitate revegetation and minimize erosion.

Aforestation/Reforestation- The Kuriva project The Papua LNG project is putting biodiversity and Afforestation/ Reforestation at the top of its list of priorities, by optimizing the footprint of the Project first and ensuring that the surface of forest replanted is largely exceeding the footprint impact of the Papua LNG project. In 2022, Papua LNG signed an agreement with the PNG Forest Authority (PNGFA) to plant 1,000 hectars of trees within 10 years. First part of the program, tree plantation works are carried out by labour force, recruited from the neighboring rural communities. 125 hectars have already been re-planted, adding over 60 new jobs in 2022, which will reach 100 by 2023. This serves not only the environment, but also the local communities of Papua New Guinea.
