Transportation Guide Land - Sea - Air - Uger

United Gulf Energy Resources LLC 2.6 Transportation Guide Personnel Transport Over Distances Greater Than 200 km Light Vehicle travel over long distance is strongly discouraged and any such travel over distances greater than 200 km (one way) requires approval by the GGM or Operations Manager. This approval shall be included by signature on the Safe Journey Management Plan and shall only be given based on appropriate justification (to be written on the SJM-Plan) similar to the requirements for Night Driving (e.g.: urgent job, tools/materials needed, no bus, difficult terrain, etc.) 2.7 Work Related Transport Using Private Vehicles All work related travel will normally be made in company vehicles in compliance with the requirements of this Guide. Personal vehicles may however be used in the Capital area and in this case: Driving Permit requirements defined in Chapter 2.2 of this Guide are not mandatory. Vehicle Specification requirements need only comply with the Laws and Standards of the Country (note that seats without seatbelts shall not be used). Motorcycles shall not be used for work related travel. 2.8 Commuting Journeys Travel in a private vehicle in the Capital Area between the place of residence and the normal place of work (i.e.: commuting) is considered “non-work related”. This means that the driver, driving and vehicle requirements of this Guide are not applicable. 2.9 Driving Between Field Locations and Residence Company and subcontractors shall provide transport for their employees between their permanent residence and their place of work in the field location. Such transport shall fully comply with requirements of this Guide. Company and subcontractors shall strongly discourage their employees from using their own vehicles for this purpose. Note that where such travel in a private vehicle takes place between the place of residence and normal place of work (i.e.: commuting) such travel is considered “non-work related”. 2.10 Safe Journey Management Company and subcontractor vehicle journeys shall be subject to the requirements of the Safe Journey Management Procedure described in Appendix 1 of this Guide.

United Gulf Energy Resources LLC 2.11 Transportation Guide Night Driving All activities shall be planned to avoid the need for night driving, including circumstances where an approved activity takes place during the night. Supervisors responsible for such work activities shall ensure that these activities do not require night driving by support functions or service providers. Based on historic incident data, the increased risks associated with night driving are collisions with: camels; other animals; unlit obstacles; and other road users. There is also an increased risk of falling asleep during the night with the potential for collision and rollover. NDSC and subcontractors shall therefore reduce the night driving risk to a level that is as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP). To comply with the ‘spirit’ of this Guide with respect to night driving, a planning effort is expected at all times in order to minimise night driving and achieve ALARP risk levels. Management of night driving is a line responsibility. During permitted night driving operations normal Journey Management procedures will apply and driving shall be suspended whenever practical, between the “fatigue high risk” hours of 2am and 6am. Principle Company and subcontractor personnel shall not drive on graded or blacktop roads, or off road, outside of the Capital or other Urban Areas during the night. Exceptions Cargo Haulage - pre-scheduled Cargo haulage using Heavy Goods Vehicles is allowed during the night. Crew Changes - crew changes using a heavy bus are allowed during the night. Operational Reasons – formal written approval is required from Operations Manager. Between Rig Site and Camp Site - night driving is allowed over distances of up to 15km. Between Operator and NDSC Camps - night driving is allowed between camps in the same locality if these are not more than 5 km apart. Emergency Purposes - night driving associated with declared emergency situations shall be managed within the framework of Company Emergency Procedures. Transport of Deceased Person - transport of a deceased person during the night shall not usually be allowed. If the family insists, the Operations Manager will obtain and give the approval of transport of the deceased person during the night. Transport of a deceased person during the night shall be in a convoy of at least two vehicles, or shall have a police escort. 2.12 Driving on Graded Roads When driving on graded roads, drivers: Shall drive with dipped headlights and high intensity rear lights on at all times.

United Gulf Energy Resources LLC 2.13 Transportation Guide The 'Dust Code' When a vehicle travelling in the same direction is creating a dust cloud that makes it difficult to see the road ahead, drivers: Shall slow down Shall keep a safe distance from the edge of the dust cloud, far enough back to be able to stop in the distance that can be seen to be clear. Shall not enter the dust cloud Shall never overtake in dust. When a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction is creating a dust cloud that makes it difficult to see the road ahead, drivers: Shall slow down Shall pull off the road, crossing over the windrow well before entering the dust cloud and keep moving slowly along the hard shoulder and stop completely if necessary. Only when the driver can clearly see the road in both directions should the road be rejoined and the journey continued. If it is not possible to leave the road, drivers shall slow to a crawl and drive as close to the windrow as possible. Shall stop immediately if they become disoriented. 2.14 Driving When Towing Towing by vehicles shall be: By vehicles fitted with towing fitments approved by the manufacturer.

Any towed equipment that exceeds the width of the towing vehicle shall be fitted with indicators and brakelights powered by the towing vehicle. Trailers greater than 750KG gross weight shall have a braking system than can be operated by the driver of the towing vehicle, and have an independent parking brake. The weight of the trailer shall not exceed the weight of the towing vehicle (The above towing instructions do not apply to the towing of trailers or semi trailers by primemovers specifically designed for that purpose). 2.15 Additional Fuel Containers Additional fuel containers shall only be carried when absolutely necessary. Fuel shall only be carried in purpose built metal containers (jerry cans), securely mounted in a purpose built holder. The holder shall be securely attached externally to the rear of station wagons, or mounted on the side of a pick-up bed, within the body dimensions-i.e shall not extend beyond the width of the pick-up. Fuel containers shall not be carried on roof-racks or inside vehicles. Page: 8
