EAPC - ERUROPE ASIA PIPELINE CO

ABOUT THE COMPANY

THE existence of a narrow land bridge between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, led to a decision in the middle of the last century to lay a pipeline through southern Israel, and combined with storage terminals, to serve the transit of crude oil from oil producing sources in theArabian Gulf to customers in Europe. The Eilat Ashkelon Pipeline Co. Ltd. (EAPC) was established in 1968 as the successor to companies that had moved oil over the same land bridge in the 1950's and 1960's. After expiration of Eilat Ashkelon Pipeline Company Ltd.’s concession, the pipeline and port operations were transferred to Europe Asia Pipeline Company Ltd. The company operates two oil ports and two oil terminals with a storage capacity of 3.6 million cubic meters for crude oil and petroleum products.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

The company operated successfully in times of dynamic changes in the domestic and global oil markets, and in times of political upheaval. After the expiry of a concession which had been given to the company to build and operate the oil facilities, the activity was transferred to a new company established for this purpose, Europe Asia Pipeline Company Ltd. (“EAPC”). In addition to pipeline transit of crude oil, the company’s services include long-term storage and blending of crude oil according to specific customer requirements. In addition to its traditional business of crude oil transport and storage services offered to Israeli and international customers, EAPC today provides infrastructure services in areas such as LPG, oil products and coal. EAPC also operates a delivering terminal for natural gas from Israeli and foreign sources.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Due to the lackof storagecapacity in theMediterranean basin, and with a view to contributing to Israel’s energy security, the company expanded petroleum product storage capacity and is taking steps to increase its crude oil storage capacity at its storage terminals in Ashkelon and Eilat. As one of the leading companies in the Israeli energy sector, EAPC is at the forefront of activity and development of future infrastructures. In this manner, the company maintains its capabilities and edge in providing domestic and international customers with solutions for receiving from offshore operations and storage of energy products.

THE CRUDE OIL SYSTEM - PIPELINES

The crude oil pipeline system of EAPC consists of three pipelines. The largest of them is a 42" diameter pipeline 254 km long linking the Eilat oil port on the Red Sea coast with the Ashkelon oil port on the Mediterranean coast. Two additional pipelines supply the refineries in Haifa and Ashdod, respectively.

254 KM – 158 Miles EILAT – ASHKELON BIDIRECTIONAL

197 KM – 122 Miles ASHKELON – HAIFA

EAPCoperates three separate pipelines for crude oil and one for oil products. 1. A 42'' , 254-km long crude oil pipeline linking the Red Sea port of Eilat with the Mediterranean port of Ashkelon. Three booster stations pump the crude oil at a maximum capacity of 60 million tons per annum. Two additional booster stations pump the crude oil in the opposite direction, namely from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea, at a maximum capacity of 30 million tons per annum. 2. A 16''/18'' , 197-km long crude oil pipeline connecting Ashkelon with the Haifa refinery. Three pumping stations along the line enable an annual throughput capacity of 5.8 million tons.

3. A 18''/16'' , 36-km long crude oil pipeline connecting Ashkelon with the Ashdod refinery, with a maximum throughput capacity of 7 million tons per annum. . A 16'' , 260-km long oil products pipeline connecting Ashkelon with Eilat. The pipeline serves to transport oil products (gasoline, jet fuel and gasoil) from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea and vice versa. 3 4

FIGURES

To enhance the activity of the Eilat Ashkelon pipeline, the company created a new transit capability; thepumpingof crude oil from the Mediterranean Oil Port of Ashkelon, through the 42" pipeline to Eilat on the Red Sea.This activity complements the original south-to-north pumping direction, making the systemunique in its bidirectional feature. The ability to pump crude oil in both directions has also enabled EAPC to nearly double its operational storage capacity.

The long route around Africa and the limitations of the Suez Canal (related to the size of tankers), boost the competitive advantage of the Reverse Flow Project. Crude oil produced in Russia and the Central Asian Republics and loaded at Black Sea ports, may now be marketed at competitive prices in Southern Asia and the Far East. EAPC’s range of facilities offers the possibility of collecting several cargoes of 600,000 barrels or 1,000,000 barrels at the company’s storage terminals, and then redelivering larger cargoes in Eilat. This flexible system along with other transportation and handling alternatives can produce solutions tailored to the customers’ needs.

OIL PRODUCTS

EAPC has a 410,000 cubic meters oil products storage capacity (gasoline, jet fuel and gasoil) at the Ashkelon terminal.

Berths no. 1 and 2 are used to load and unload oil products (gasoline, jet fuel and gasoil). The Berths accommodate tankers of up to 130,000 DWT and up to 100,000 DWT respectively. The oil products storage system consists of 10 dedicated storage tanks and is connected to berths no. 1 and 2 for loading and unloading. The system is also connected to EAPC’s filling station for tanker lorries and to PEI’s tankfarm. Amodern computerized system controls the channeling of different oil products unloaded at these berths. The oil products are transferred to the adjacent Petroleum & Energy Infrastructure Company Ltd. (PEI) tankfarm, where they are pumped into the national oil products network. This system is also connected to EAPC’s filling station for tanker lorries. This station serves as a complementary link in the imported oil products distribution chain to the local market. To accommodate customers’ needs, a doping system for additives was constructed.

LIQUEFIED PETROLIUM GAS

An LPG tankfarm with a capacity of 16,000 cubic meter (about 7,900 tons) in mounded tanks and a berth for handling LPG tankers of up to 7,000 DWT, operate at the Ashkelon terminal. The tankfarm, which was built and operates in compliance with the world’s most stringent safety standards, allows for the quick and efficient loading of tanker lorries

GATEWAY FOR NATURAL GAS

EAPC’s Ashkelon site was chosen to be one of the gateways for the natural gas which Israel purchases from offshore reservoirs. EAPC operates and maintains the natural gas receiving station at Ashkelon. From the start of 2020, the facility is also used for export of natural gas from Israel to Egypt. Thenatural gas receivingstation is connected to the Israel Natural Gas Lines Company’s system. The entry junction of natural gas in Ashkelon, along with the discovery of significant gas reservoirs opposite the shores of Israel, led the company to explore further possibilities for using natural gas for other industrial purposes.
