    LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS01

    2017 was very favourable to Sonangol, E.P. and its subsi-diaries, since the international market recovered from the sharp decline of previous years as a result of the improvement in the foundations of demand and supply of crude oil, alongsi-de with the economic growth in the world economy.

    Crude oil production in Ango-la amounted to 595,810,124 barrels, the equivalent to a daily average of 1,632,357 barrels. Compared to the previous year, the volume of production decreased 5%. This decrease is explained by the operational constraints in the main pro-duction blocks, by the decrea-se in activity in the Angolan oil industry and by the lack of sanctioning of new development projects.

    However, the increase of appro-ximately 19% in oil export prices more than offset this decrease. Net income for the year amoun-ted to AOA 27.25 billion, a 107% increase when compared to 2016, reflecting the gains from the strategy adopted by OPEC.

    The appointment of a new Board of Directors in November 2017 was received with a great sense of responsibility. Its main objec-tives are to regenerate the com-pany, in order to transform it

    into an integrated and efficient National Oil Company, focused on the primary value chain and initiate efforts to increase the domestic production capacity of oil derivative products.

    Since then, significant steps were taken by the current Board of Directors to re-launch the image of Sonangol as the National Concessionaire and a trustworthy oil company and to re-launch exploration and production of crude oil and na-tural gas, approaching the main players in the sector.

    We actively participate in the task forces to discuss the fundamental issues regarding the improvement of the per-formance of the national oil sector, namely the principle of tolerance and contractual flexibility, exploratory activity within the development areas, reduction of bureaucracy in public tenders, normalization of the abandonment funds and the legal regime that will allow the monetization and development of gas resources.

    Several agreements were held with the main Operators of the sector to, among others retake oil exploration activities, opti-mize production and transfer knowledge to national fra-meworks.

    We held the public tender for the selection of investors for the construction of a large refi-nery in the city of Lobito and a small refinery in the province of Cabinda.

    The foundations for the restruc-turing of Sonangol have been laid, through a Regeneration Program. This extensive and comprehensive program inclu-des the analysis and evalua-tion of the oil exploration and production business, the crude oil refining, the liquefied natural gas business and the liquefied petroleum gas, fuel logistics, distribution and supply of oil derivatives, business continuity, corporate finance, non-core bu-siness, investments and regula-tory framework.

    This Program will last 30 months, with concrete actions that can be implemented in the short term and others in the long term. It will also include a change management program, digitalization and information systems and knowledge transfer through Academia Sonangol.

    All these achievements would not have been possible without the vote of confidence granted by our shareholder and the un-selfish effort of our employees, business partners, customers

    and suppliers, who have contri-buted a lot to the strengthening of the company.

    We began a new cycle in which we will focus on the realign-ment of the company in its core business, achieving greater ef-ficiency and effectiveness of or-ganizational performance, with the contribution and recognition of all employees. To do this, we must be humble, dedicated and have discipline, serious-ness, protection of information, knowledge, ability, flexibility, teamwork, rigor in analysis and weighting in decision-making and firmness to understand all the players of the hydrocarbon industry.

    On behalf of the Board of Direc-tors, I am grateful and reaffirm the commitment to continue to strive to ensure the stability and sustainability of Sonangol by strengthening its role as a bulwark of the country’s eco-nomy and social development.

    PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

    3.1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    03

    This report presents the per-formance of Sonangol, E.P. and its subsidiaries during 2017, highlighting the results achieved in the several planned activities.

    During 2017, the exploration activity in Angola resulted in the completion of 8 seismic processing programs, totalling 13,766 Km2 of 3D seismic, and in the drilling of seventy-four (74) development wells, of which fifty-three (53) producers and twenty-one (21) injectors (work over pits).

    During 2017, 595,810,124 bar-rels of crude oil were produced, corresponding to a daily average of 1,632,357 barrels, a 5% de-crease when compared to 2016.

    From the volume reached, Sonangol received 216,825,582; 134,307,947 (62%) in the form of Concessionaire’s rights and 82,517,635 (38%), relating to Sonangol Investidora.

    Angola’s gas production amoun-ted to 5,822,681 metric tons, from which 1,227,193 of LPG, 4,371,017 of LNG and 224,471 of Condensates. From this produc-tion, a total of 1,421,195 metric tons was assigned to Sonangol, a 185% increase when compa-red with the previous year, due to the good performance of the

    Angola LNG plant. From January to December 2017, an average of 52,159 barrels per day of Crude Oil was processed by Refinaria de Luanda (Luanda’s refinery), corresponding to an 80% utiliza-tion rate of the installed capaci-ty. The total refined production amounted to 2,473,434 metric tons (including LPG), 3% below the production achieved in the previous year.

    In the period under review, Sonangol transported a total of 14,940,021 metric tons of products, from which 9,788,210 metric tons of crude oil and 5,151,811 metric tons of refined products. The quantities trans-ported during 2017 represented a 7% increase when compared to 2016.

    There were 5,106,682 metric tons of Refined Products marke-ted, from which 3,638,761 were in the domestic market and 1,467,920 in the foreign market (including butane and propane), corresponding to a 9% decrease in the total volume of marketed products when compared to 2016.

    To meet domestic needs, appro-ximately 3,267,227 metric tons of refined products were pur-chased from the foreign market,

    while imports decreased appro-ximately 7% when compared to 2016.

    198,301,082 barrels of crude oil were sold in the foreign market, 3% less than in 2016, with the average price of Angolan oil reaching USD 54.06/Bbl.

    3.2 OPERATING PERFORMANCE – EBITDA

    Consolidated EBITDA amounted to AOA 625,270 million, a 19% increase mainly driven by the upstream performance, where the increase in the price of crude oil was the most relevant factor, and by downstream performance. These two segments represented, respectively, 87% and 24% of the total 2017 EBITDA.

    EBITDA in the Corporate and Financing segment in the fiscal year of 2017 was negative in the amount of AOA 98,630 million, sin-ce this business segment aggre-gates several support activities of other segments.

    The upstream segment (Explora-tion and Production) represents approximately 87% of the EBITDA recorded in the year and had a positive variation of 106% when compared to 2016, due to the in-crease in the average selling price of the Angolan oil.

    The total production had a positive year-on-year change of 5%, resul-ting in an average daily production of 245 thousand Bbls. Regarding

    gas production, Sonangol recorded a 35% increase in LPG production, which increased from 277 thou-sand metric tons to 373 thousand metric tons.

    In 2017, the EBITDA attributed to the Midstream segment (Refining and Transportation) represented 7% of Sonangol’s total EBITDA. In this year, Refinaria de Luanda acquired 18,579,108 metric tons of Crude Oil, with an 80% utiliza-tion of the installed capacity and a decrease of 1.5% compared to the previous year.

    With a lower availability of crude oil, an average of 52,159 barrels of Crude Oil per day was processed, representing a negative variation of 3% when compared to 2016. The production of refined products reached 2,473,434 metric tons, representing a negative variation of 3% when compared to the pre-vious year.

    Regarding the transport of crude oil, there was a 17% increase in the quantities transported. Howe-ver, the transport of oil derivatives

    registered an 8% decrease, due to the macroeconomic context and the economic slowdown.

    EBITDA registered in the Downs-tream segment (Logistics and Distribution) amounted to AOA 148 billion, representing 24% of the total for the year and a decrease of 37% compared to the previous year, mainly due to the decrease in the consumption of oil derivatives.

    Procurement and storage acti-vities decreased 10% and 22%, respectively, due to the retraction in the consumption of oil derivati-ves. At internal level, the supply of refined products also registered a decrease of 15%, which is explai-ned by the contraction of demand, as a result of the national econo-mic situation.

    EBITDA attributed to Non-nuclear Business in 2017 was negative, in the amount of AOA 9.8 billion, representing a decrease in the amount of AOA 11.2 billion when compared to 2016. The indica-tor was strongly affected by the decrease in the number of flight hours by Sonair, the decrease of voice traffic in MS Telcom and the decrease in the activity of Clínica Girassol.

    In 2017, consolidated net income amounted to AOA 27,365 million, a 106% increase compared to 2016. The Downstream activity and the Corporate and Financing segment (which incorporates approximately AOA 155,356 million of financial results) contributed significantly for this result.

    Despite the recovery in the price of crude oil in the international market over the last months, the investment activity was very conservative. Priority was given to the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas, aiming to increase the volume of produc-tion and compensate the sharp decrease of fields.

    From the amount of USD 1,674,176,000 invested during 2017, 90.6% were in the Explora-tion and Production segment, with investments in the FPSO Kaombo North and South development projects, in Block 32, with the be-ginning of the production expected scheduled for 2018, and in the Ochigufu and Vandumbu develop-

    ment projects, at the West Hub of Block 15/06, with the beginning of the production also scheduled for 2018. Sonangol Pesquisa e Produ-ção holds a 30% and 36.84% stake in these Blocks, respectively.

    A share of 9.2% (AOA 154 million) of the total investment was allocated to the Refining and Transportation segment, with the completion of the manufacture of two suezmax ships, for feet repla-cement.

    The remaining 0.2% correspond to smaller investments in the Non--Nuclear Business segment.

    4.1 CONCESSIONAIRE

    04

    The slowdown in exploration activity in the global oil sector was reflected in the Concessionaire’s activity during 2017. Thus, no oil block biddings were carried out, there were no seismic activity (acquisition) and no new explo-ration and appraisal wells were drilled. As a result of the lack of investment in exploration, no new resources were discovered.

    In order to reverse the downward trend in production, the Conces-sionaire has developed key projec-ts – Polo Este (Block 15/06), CLOV Phase 1 (Block 17) and Kaombo (Block 32) – with the beginning of production scheduled for 2018 and with an estimated production of approximately 1,000 Mbbl.

    The beginning of production of the Cabaça Sudeste Field in Block 15/06, with two wells, has atte-nuated the decrease in produc-tion. Thus, in 2017, the volume of crude oil production decreased 5% when compared to 2016, while Concessionaires’ Rights registered a decrease of 6%. Regarding the production of Associated Natural Gas, production decreased 8% compared to 2016. In turn, LPG production registered a substan-tial increase, 68% in relation to the previous year, justified by the good performance of Angola LNG factory.

    As a National Concessionaire, Crude Oil exports corresponded to 89% of the collected rights, a 6%

    decrease compared to the pre-vious year, contributing negatively to the total exports registered by the group (Sonangol E.P. and So-nangol Pesquisa e Produção).

    In 2017, Sonangol was able to recover USD 167 billion from the total of USD 223 billion of reco-verable costs in the concessions in production. Of the total costs recovered, more than 63% resul-ted from Blocks 17 and 15, respec-tively representing 38% and 25%.

    During 2017, 595,810,124 barrels of crude oil were produced in An-gola, equivalent to a daily average of 1,632,357 barrels. Compared to the same period of the previous year, production volume decrea-sed by 5%.

    This situation is mainly explained by the operational constraints on the blocks in production, the decrease in activity due to the lack of approval of hiring probes and other contracts, as well as

    In terms of achieving the targets established by the operators of the concessions in production, there were technical and operational constraints, which are described below:

    • Cabinda ConcessionIn this concession, the production was slightly below what was ex-pected due to the closure of some producing wells in Takula, Malongo and Mafumeira Sul reservoirs, caused by operational problems and by the monitoring and opti-mization works in Nemba, Ndola, Lomba and Bomboco reservoirs. Despite the above, production levels were supported by the entry into operation of thirteen (13) wells from Mafumeira Sul project and by the optimization of the Gas Oil Ratio (GOR) in Nemba and Sanha reservoirs.

    • Cabinda SulProduction was above the forecas-ts, although it was slightly compro-mised in the 1st quarter due to the low pressure in the reservoir and the interventions in well Noz-1,

    in order to remove the paraffin to create communication with the bottom of the well. In the following quarters, the reservoir production improved significantly, with the re-entry of well CA-04.

    • FS/FST ConcessionIn this concession, production levels were below expectations due to the closure of some wells, na-mely sixty-two (62) producing wells and three (3) injecting wells, due to several operational problems such as oil leaks in in the three-inch line, malfunction in the instrumen-tation system and unavailability of the gas system.

    • Block 2/05The reservoirs remain closed, except for the Essungo field, which went into operation with only two wells, in order to support the FS/FST production line. The well Es-trela-A, in Bagre field, was reope-ned in December 2017.

    • Block 3/05The production has been affected by the loss of pressure of some

    producing wells, the lack of water injection in all the reservoirs and the closure of some wells, due to the advanced stage of maturity of the reservoirs. It should be noted in this Block that, currently, there are ninety-three (93) wells closed: forty-eight (48) producing wells and forty-five (45) injecting wells.

    • Block 3/05AThe downturn in production was due to the closure of the well, since 3 October, due to the accumulation of paraffins, thus, the well cleaning work is currently in progress.

    • Block 4/05The production was slightly below expectations due to some operatio-nal problems and the low injection in some wells.

    • Block 14The production was slightly below the expected. Despite the good performance of the reservoirs and the gas lift optimization works, there were some operational pro-blems in some wells and unplan-ned stoppages.

  • MANAGEMENT REPORT AND CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS 2017 MANAGEMENT REPORT AND CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS 2017

    34 35

    • Block 14KThere was a sharp decrease in production in Lianzi field, mainly due to the formation of “Scale”.

    • Block 15In the first quarters, the production was compromised by the closu-re of some wells due to the high water and gas contents. In the 3rd quarter, the production was slightly higher than expected, due to the good performance of the Reser-voirs, with the entry into operation of well BAV-106 and the stabiliza-tion of the ALNG Plant.

    • Block 15/06The production was above expecta-tions due to the good performance

    of the Reservoirs, the beginning of operations of Cabaça Sudeste field, with two wells and the entry of injection well CSE-402, as well as the beginning of operations of Polo Este field.

    • Block 17The production levels were slightly below expectations due to the good performance of the Reservoirs. These production levels were supported by the beginning of operations of Dália project, Phase 1A and 2, and Girassol M14.

    • Block 18Production levels were compromi-sed due to the low pressure in re-servoirs, the closure of some wells

    in order to optimize production and the decrease in water production. • Block 31The production levels were below expectations due to the low water injection in the reservoir, caused by several constraints in the injection water treatment system.

    4.1.4.1 RECOVERY OF INVESTMENTS MADE IN PRODUCTION CONCESSIONS

    Table 17 Recovered Costs in Production Concessions

    During the period under review, the recovered costs in produc-tion concessions, correspon-ding to development expenses, amounted to MUSD 167,495,597, representing a 9% increase in the recovery of costs when compared to 2016. This increa-se is mainly due to the rise of the oil price in the international market.

    Regarding the costs to be re-covered, block 31 remains the asset with the largest volume, representing 25% of total costs to be recovered, due to the high cost of development of PSVM, which production started in the 4th quarter of 2012. block 31 is followed by block 17, with costs to be recovered representing approximately 24% of total costs, due to the investments in Pazflor project, which was completed

    The costs to be recovered re-garding Block 15/06 represent 22% of the total of costs to be recovered. It should be noted that, since the beginning of production in 2014, only 20% of the recoverable costs have been recovered due to, on one hand, the high development costs and, on the other hand, the fact that production started when the oil price in the market began to decline progressively until the end of 2017.

    In block 15, the reported cos-ts are related to development expenses in Kizomba Satellite Phase 2, which came on stream in June 2015.

    4.2 PRIMARY VALUE CHAIN – UPSTREAM SEGMENT

    4.2.1 PRODUCTION OF CRUDE OIL OF SONANGOL INVESTIDORA

    The Exploration and Production activity is a critical segment of Sonangol’s activity, which is reflected in the Company’s own investment strategy, with this segment representing 90,6% of the total investment made in 2017, as mentioned in 2.4.

    In 2017, Angola produced a total of 595,810,124 barrels of Crude Oil, of which 82,517,635 are re-lated to Sonangol, representing a 3% increase over the same

    period last year. This increase is due to the increase in pro-duction of Sonangol Pesquisa e Produção in Block 15/06 (54% increase) and from the increase in production of Sonangol E.P. in Block 0, Area A (increase of 13%).

    Regarding the production of LPG, the increase of the ALNG plant production, where Sonan-gol has a 22.8% share, reflected positively in the increase of pro-

    duction of 35% and in the reduc-tion of imports in 98% compared to the previous year.

    In 2017,the Upstream pri-mary chain recorded sales and EBITDA in the amount of AOA 2,130,340 million and AOA 541,117 million, respectively, the equivalent to 87% of the Com-pany’s total EBITDA.

    4.3.1 REFINING BUSINESS

    The Refining and Transportation segment recorded sales equivalent to AOA 208,776 million in 2017 and an EBITDA of AOA 41,207 million, corresponding to 7% of Sonangol’s total EBITDA. Regarding the activity of Refi-naria de Luanda, there was a decrease in raw material supply of 7% and, consequently, a decrease in the use of the installed refining capacity of 3% in relation to the same period of the previous year. This negative perfor-mance was proportionally reflected in the decrease of the volume of crude oil processed and the volume of refined products produced (3%).

    Regarding the Refining business, Sonangol maintains Refinaria de Luanda with a nominal installed capacity of 65,000 Bbl/d. The average utilization rate of installed capacity, in 2017, was of 80%. The decrease was due to the 7% reduction in the supply of raw materials, as a result of the reduction in the supply from the Plutónio and Palanca fields, of 4% and 11%, respectively.

    During 2017, Sonangol’s LNG production amounted to 996,592 metric tons and the production of Con-densates reached 51,179 metric tons. Both productions took place in the Angola LNG plant.

    In 201 7, refined production re-gistered a decrease of 3% when compared to 201 6, mainly due to the following situations:

    • Malfunction of critical equipment, due to 7 years of intensive use, which increases the need to perform the Gene-ral Stop (the last general stop occurred in 201 0);

    • Power cuts due to the stoppage of the GT35 turbine;

    • Cancellations or delays in shipments of crude oil, espe-cially from Plutónio;

    • Failure to comply with the Fuel Oil withdrawal plans by the Katyavala ship and the cement production compa-nies, threatening the exports programs;

    • Lack of spare parts to repair equipment (more than 3 years without stock replenishment in the warehouse);

    • Delays in the replenishing of chemical stocks, resulting from delays in payments to suppliers;

    • Excessive bureaucracy in procurement processes and, consequently, in payments to suppliers.

    The production of Gasoline was interrupted in September, due to the inefficiency of the U700 Ca-talyst (end of another lifecycle), thus, the regeneration process was initiated.

    Considering the time of existen-ce of the current catalyst and the successive processes of regene-ration that it has endured, new catalysts have been acquired for replacement purposes. LPG extraction has declined in the last 3 years as a result of the crude oil mix being processed, as the Refinery started to use mainly the Plutonio field, resul-ting in a level of LPG extraction of only 1 .06% of the total crude oil processed. This situation ini-tiated the production of Asphalt with 50/70 penetration, thus responding to the specification of the product that the market demanded. In this way, Asphalt production increased 4 times more when compared with the previous year.

    Even so, Diesel was the most transported refined product, representing 41.9% due to its multipurpose use (transport and indus-try), followed by LNG with 25,6%, Gasoline with 22.7%, LPG with 9.3% and Jet A1, Lu-bricants and Kerosene with 0.5%.

    The Logistics and Distribution segment recorded sales equi-valent to AOA 743,645 million in 2017 and an EBITDA of AOA 148,332 million, corresponding to 10% of the total EBITDA re-corded by Sonangol.

    The increase in the prices of refined products, as a conse-quence of the elimination of the price subvention, had a direct impact on this segment. There was a reduction of 1% and 15%, respectively, in the purchase of refined products and marke-ted products when compared to 2016. Meanwhile, it should

    4.4 PRIMARY CHAIN – DOWNSTREAM SEGMENTbe noted that 36% of the total amount supplied originated from the domestic market.

    In the Logistics activity, and in line with the contraction of demand, there was a general reduction in volumes supplied (decrease of 10%) and in storage capacity (decrease of 22%). The latter was due to the termination of the vessel rental agreement for floating storage.

    Regarding the Distribution ac-tivity, the most traded products continue to be Gasoline and Die-sel, representing more than 70%

    of sales, especially in the Con-sumer and Retail segment. Even though these are the segments with the highest consumption, they are also the most competi-tive ones.

    In the international market, there was also a reduction in exports of Crude Oil (3% decrea-se), while the exports of refined products increased 8%. During the period, 4,797,032 MT

    of refined crude oil products were acquired, registering a 1% decrease when compared with the previous period, due to the retraction in the consumption of oil derivatives.

    The products with the highest volume of supply were Diesel (53%) and Gasoline (25%), totalling 79%. There was an increase in the volumes of LPG (12%) and a slight increase in the volume of Jet A1 (15%), when compared to 2016.

    The storage capacity of refined products was 698.680 M3, of which 358.51 0 M3 were onshore and 340.1 70 on floating storage vessels, a decrease of 22% when compared to the the previous year. This decrease is due to the

    withdrawal of Múcua ship, within the readjustment of the needs of the company, having resulted in the termination of the lease contract of that unit.

    A total of 3,638,761 MT of oil deri-vative products were sold, cor-responding to a decrease of 15% compared to the previous period.

    This reduction is explained by the contraction of demand, given the current national economic situa-tion.

    Diesel and gasoline remain the most traded products, represen-ting together 73% of the quantities sold.

    By business segment, there is a greater representativeness for the consumer sec-tor, due to the supply of diesel for thermal power stations.
