It gives me great pleasure to present to you
the “ADOC HSE Annual report – 2010”, whichsummarizes ADOC’s remarkable achievements
throughout the year.

ADOC’s HSE OBJECTIVES

ADOC’s HSE POLICY

Yukihiro Tanaka

In 2010, several initiatives were launched to promote the proactive HSEmanagement system. These initiatives included the establishment of
HSEMS Action Tracking Procedure for all activities in order to monitor
the gaps in place and close them out as appropriate, the improvementof the HSE Award system to motivate personnel to be more proactivein HSE activities, the enhancement of root cause analysis training to
improve staff competence and prevent the reoccurrence of accidents inthe future in line with HSE management, and the continuation of sharing
key information and lessons learned through the monthly HSE meetingsin Abu Dhabi office and offshore operating sites.

Lost Time Injury Frequency (LTIF), a key indicator of safety performance,
achieved Zero not only by ADOC but also by its contractors in 2010. This
achievement could be attributed to this year’s initiatives and the positive
response of concerned staff. Our priority target of “Promoting Safety Culture of lessons learned from incidents andsharing by all Concerned” has proved to be extremely effective throughout the company.

Improving working conditions and thereby
preventing injuries as well as occupational
health illness.

5.1

To identify, assess and monitor occupational
health hazards for improving working
conditions (Occupational Health).

During 2010, ADOC Management took initiatives to establish an Occupational Health Risk Management System andan Asset Integrity Management System including not only HSE Critical Equipment System but also HSE Non-Critical
Equipment System and to upgrade the fire protection system at offshore sites based on HSEIA recommendations throughthe study of the risk assessment for firefighting system.

Adopting appropriate technologies which
ensure waste minimization, emission
reduction and joint activities to control any
adverse effect on the environment.

6.1

To minimize the negative impact of operations
and conserve the offshore ecosystem(Environment).

ADOC continues to exert its best efforts with regards to the environment protection activities such as mangrove
plantation, sea-grass propagation and the pioneering attempt to propagate coral reef. In 2010, ADOC conductedmangrove plantation campaign of about 65,000 trees. The results of the monitoring of the transplanted seagrass andcoral reefs were also positive.

To improve proactive monitoring and dealing
with emerging HSE issues (Flaring, Effluent& Waste Management) (Environment).

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all employees of ADOC and contractors for their continued efforts andcommitment towards HSE excellence, and also I would like to express my commitment to support their HSE initiatives
towards the continuous improvement of HSE performance at ADOC.

2010 signifies a year with zero lost time incidents from both contractors and ADOC, which is something that everybody
can be very proud of. HSE awareness campaigns, continuous monitoring and various HSE promotional schemes havecontributed to raise safety consciousness among employees at all levels. HSE monthly meetings at work sites have
proved the willingness of employees to participate in discussions and make contributions, hence indirectly raising thelevel of safety culture.
ADOC’s record in maintaining no fatalities continued during the year 2010. The number of “Total Recordable Incidents(TRI)” for the year 2010 was four. Out of these four incidents, one incident is a Restricted Workday Case (RWDC) while theother three are in the category of Medical Treatment Case (MTC). All these four incidents were reported from contractors
highlighting the importance of improving the HSE awareness of the contractors and the need to improve Contractor
Management with respect to HSE concerns.
ADOC has developed Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) in managing Health, Safety and Environmental aspects, with thedirectives and encouragement from the General Manager where it is believed, this will lead to develop more focus andallocation resources in the areas that need more attention. Furthermore, the development of effective action plans fromthe issues highlighted by monitoring KPI’s is another area that has given much emphasis.
ADOC is giving high importance to Risk Assessment & Hazard Identification activities (such as HAZOP, HAZID, SIMOPS)
by involving all related parties working on a project.

Coral Preservation

ADOC took measures to reduce all High Risk Hazards identified during the Occupational Health Risk Assessment (OHRA)
conducted in 2009 to ALARP levels. An Occupational Health Risk Management System (OHRMS) was developed as per
the OHRA report and was completed in 2010

The best applicable techniques for the protection of specific species of coral in Mubarraz Shoal have been applied.

Medical Performance

In June 2010, ADOC carried out the transplantation of 106 coral fragments to transplantation bases which were installedin the Mubarraz Shoal. At the same time, 10 coral egg settling tools were installed.
Since then, ADOC has been continuously monitoring the transplanted corals and excellent results have been noted
during investigations in June and December 2010. More than 50% of the transplanted corals have shown growth.

Sea grass Transplantation

Osprey Breeding & Monitoring System

The Sea grass Transplantation campaign has been in progress. In December 2010, ADOC carried out monitoring of sea
grass in the southeast area where it was confirmed that the transplanted sea grass had successfully taken root. The
south of Mubarraz Island is a major Dugong Habitat.

Monitoring & Preservation of the Osprey inhabiting Mubarraz Island has been continuously carried out since 2005. A totalof 17 artificial Osprey nests were installed around the Mubarraz and West Mubarraz Islands between 2005 and 2007.
Close observation of the Osprey was carried out on a 24hr basis, using a new camera installed on the artificial nest in
2007. Remote monitoring ensures that the habitat of the Osprey is not disturbed. Furthermore, the monitoring cabin was
relocated to a greater distance from the artificial nest to prevent disturbing the Osprey. The average number of Ospreysobserved for the period from DEC 2009 to DEC 2010 was 26, compared to 27 in 2010. The annual trend indicates slightincrease in the number of Ospreys observed.
