Schizophyllan – proprietary
biopolymer
Produced by a fungus in pilot
scale plant at BASF
General principle:
– Polymer added to injection
water, which then becomes
more viscous
– Remaining oil is then more
effectively pushed towards
production well
– Increased incremental oil

Outlook & Summary
BASF Oil & Gas – Outlook 2013
Sales and earnings increase
41
Exploration & Production
In 2013, we expect an increase in sales and earnings due to higher production volumes.
Overall, we anticipate higher production due to the further field development of Achimgaz
and our transaction with Statoil in Norway.
Natural Gas Trading
In 2013, we expect a decrease in earnings due to margin pressure.
We anticipate natural gas sales volumes to be on prior-year level.
Assumptions 2013
- Average oil price: $105 per barrel Brent
- Average exchange rate: $1.30 per €

Wintershall and Gazprom agree on asset swap relating to Blocks IV and V of the Achimov
formation of the Urengoy natural gas and condensate field
Wintershall to receive 25% plus 1 share in Blocks IV and V of the Achimov formation with
the option to further increase the share in the two deposits
Gazprom to receive:
– 50% share in Wintershall Noordzee, which is active in the exploration and production of oil and gas in
the southern North Sea (Netherlands, UK, Denmark)
– 50% shares (thus taking over 100%) in the gas trading companies WINGAS, WIEH and WIEE,
including shares in the natural gas storage facilities in Rehden and Jemgum, Germany, as well as
Haidach, Austria, and the gas storage operator astora
– Activities to be divested contributed in total about €10 billion to sales and
roughly €500 million to EBITDA of BASF Group in 2012
Transaction financially retroactive to April 1, 2013. Closing is subject to approval by the
relevant authorities.
Ownership of gas transportation business unaffected
Exploration & Production
Asset swap with Gazprom –
Transaction highlights
62. BASF Oil & Gas, September 2013 62
Focuses BASF’s Oil & Gas business on highly profitable upstream exploration and
production activities and delivering medium-term earnings uplift
Provides access to attractive, condensate-rich Achimov assets
Significantly increases Wintershall’s resource base
Further strengthens the strategic partnership with Gazprom and Wintershall’s focus on
Russia as a core region for Oil & Gas
Through participation in Nord Stream (15.5%) and South Stream (15%) respectively,
Wintershall will contribute to reliable transportation of natural gas from Russia to Europe
Exploration & Production
Asset swap with Gazprom –
Strategic rationale
63. BASF Oil & Gas, September 2013 63
Key field data:
– Targeted field depth: ~3,600 meters
– Total resources of Blocks IV and V: 2.4 billion boe
− 274 billion m³* of natural gas
− 74 million tons of condensate
BASF share (600 million boe) equivalent to approx. 20%
of total BASF hydrocarbon resource base as at Dec 31,
