29. CAPITAL COMMITMENTS<br />

Commitments under various joint ventures for future exploration and development expenditure at<br />

31 December 2010 amounted to approximately KD 401.8 million (2009: KD 387 million).<br />

30. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES<br />

a) Pursuant to the Group’s interest in a joint venture in Australia encompassing production from the Harriet<br />

Field and various exploration permits, KUFPEC Australia Pty Ltd (“KAPL”) has entered into three deeds<br />

of cross charge in favour of each of the other participants for the purpose of securing the Group’s<br />

obligations under the Joint Venture Agreement. The cross charges comprise a prior ranking charge over<br />

the Group’s interest in the joint venture to a limit of Australian Dollars 250 million (KD 48 million).<br />

b) As a result of a pipeline explosion on Varanus Island, offshore North West Australia on 3 June 2008,<br />

KUFPEC Australia Pty Ltd (“KAPL”) and its co-venturers (“the HJV”) have been prosecuted by the<br />

Western Australian Department of Mines and Energy under Section 38 (b) of the Petroleum Pipelines Act<br />

1969 (WA), for failing to maintain the subject pipeline in good condition and repair. The maximum fine<br />

payable for the breach is 10,000 Australian Dollars which has been accounted in the consolidated<br />

statement of income. Delivery of gas by the HJV was fully reinstated in August 2010. Also a civil claim<br />

has been filed against the HJV by one of the gas buyers in March 2011. Legal analysis and cost estimation<br />

of the claim are still in progress. KAPL and the other HJV co-venturers intend to vigorously defend their<br />

contractual position as the gas sales agreement contains express provisions limiting the liability of the gas<br />

sellers, including Force Majeure and liquidated damages.<br />
