Eurasia Group Energy Outlook
Heavy oil: Key “Conversation-Starters”
•
Oil sands – finding new markets, managing CSR
•
Supply game-changers – Mexico, Venezuela
•
New players- Brazil, Colombia heavy exports on the rise
•
Beyond the region – OPEC & Saudi Arabia
•
“Demand pull” – regional refining dynamics & differentials
1
I. CANADA OIL SANDS FINDING NEW MARKETS & MANAGING CSR
2
3
Oil sands: risks shift from environment to price realization
•
Environment: 7 of 9 tailings pond management plans under 74 have been approved
•
Land use: Lower Athabasca Regional Plan sets aside some rich land for conservation, including existing industry leases
•
Carbon: still awaiting action from the Obama administration; Harper moving forward this year
•
Reputation: New “ethical oil”
push from government & industry
•
Upgrading: BRIK program a political hot potato; upcoming Conservative leadership race a factor
•
Markets: this may be the largest risk—how to avoid PADD II being “land-locked in bitumen”
4
Market access: Problems at “both ends of the pipe”
•PADD II/Cushing have glut of both heavy light barrels...
•“Middle leg”
of KXL needed to supply Cushing and Wood River
•Keystone XL will solve one, but not both those problems once complete (2H13?)
•Outlook for KXL approval continues to be favorable despite delays
•KXL key battleground in off-oil/climate debate
•Obama shift to “pragmatic”
energy policy
•Gateway debate heating up pre-NEB but political support is growing
5
II. UPSTREAM SURPRISES? MEXICO, VENEZUELA
6
Venezuela: Down & out but for how long?
•
Chavez has sustained NOC & interest in the Faja-
but is it simply “option value”?
•
Proven reserves expected to 310 billion barrels by 2012-
20% recovery factor
•
Financial burden on PDVSA intense
•
PDVSA expansion plans face multiple hurdles-
but could there an upside surprise?
•
Completion of upgraders could upstream production boost
•
Change of government not necessarily an immediate win for oil sector-
power vacuumSource: PDVSA
8
Mexican decline challenge intensifies
•
Mexican production decline rate key driver for oil sands opportunity PADD II & III; shaping light-heavy differential
•
Mexican decline smaller than expected in 2010, while exports to picked up as well
•
Success stems from PEMEX’s ramp-up of the KMZ oil field and EOR efforts in mature shallow-water fields
•
Chicontopec still faces problems; earlier forecasts for 660k bpd
by now look more likely to be 100k bpd at best
•
Pemex hopes new contracts will trigger 500,000bpd new production
2018
•
There is an estimated 30 billion barrel potential and successes on of maritime boundary-
deepwater remains politically controversial
Mexico exports to PADD III recover in 2010

III. NEW HEAVY OIL PLAYERS: COLOMBIA, BRAZIL
10
11
Colombia: EOR and heavy oil driving growth
Source: Colombia National Hydrocarbons Agency
Brazil: Heavy oil now, pre-salt later
•
Heavy oil: Brazil will add about 1.3mm bpd by 2015-
mostly medium-heavy barrels
•
Lack of sufficient heavy conversion refining capacity will swing
supply to US Gulf Coast•
New capex plan sustains trajectory for upstream growth, industrial policy focus
•
Pre-salt short-term: slow implementation of the new PSA framework
•
Pre-salt medium-term: focus on developing local oil services industry, but the government may ultimately give Petrobras some leeway to keep production targets
•
Government will introduce more competition to the framew
ork, through giving up on lead operator clause, as a measure of last resort
12
Brazil near-term growth will be heavier barrels

V. BEYOND THE REGION: SAUDI & OPEC SUPPLY OUTLOOK OUTLOOK
24
Macro concerns driving oil price: Fed, FX, Mid-East, IEA
Source: EIA, EG 25
Saudi output increase; IEA/SPR uncertainty
•
Discord at 8 June OPEC meeting underscored irrelevance near-term of OPEC “headlines”; Saudi/GCC responding to demand trend; not asking OPEC permission
•
IEA decision to release stocks essentially for economic stimulus reasons raises troubling questions about future market intervention; 2012 US elections and ‘anti-
sentiment
•
Saudi output increase will not be rescinded due to IEA volume appears to still be ramping up into July from June
26
What is the true level of OPEC spare capacity?
27
Where is the OPEC spare capacity going to come from?
•
Saudi incremental production will be heavy-
M
anifa 900,000bpd –
Arab Heavy (28 API)
•
Manifa production geared to new Saudi Aramco refineries at home-
and in China
•
Optimistic IEA outlook on Angola-
light sour growth
•
UAE picking up upstream expansion following “pause” during financial crisis-
Lower/Upper Zakum expansions
39 API)
•
But Iraq is the big-changer-
enormous upside for light barrels
28
No short-term return for Libyan oil•
Balance of resources gradually turning against Qadhafi forces
•
Wide uncertainty about timing of Qadhafi collapse; potential to drag on, but potential for regime vulnerabilities to accelerate this (Qadhafi
death, loss of refinery)
•
None of these scenarios would lead to rapid return to pre-war oil capacity
•
Partial recovery from rebel held areas in eastern Libya is possible, but not imminent
29Source: IEA MMOTR June 2011
Iraq: progress, but short-term bottleneck
•
Paralysis of parliament makes it hard to change policy on oil; opposition to contracts declines on 2011 revenue increase
•
Initial well work-overs at Rumaila and Zubair have pushed 2.7 MBD, but limited upside until end-2011
•
Completion of additional tanker loading capacity brings loading terminal capacity to 2.6 MBPD in 2012, 4.4 MBPD in 2013
•
Some increased capacity at Rumaila, Zubair, and West Qurna I in awaiting export capacity upgrades; potential for substantial KBPD ‘surge’
when this is completed, around Q1 2012
•
Kurdish contracts issue likely to remain unresolved in near-term

EOR investments deliver Russian surprise
Source: EIA
Conclusions•
Potential for heavy oil upside surprise in Western may now exceed potential for downside surprise-
at least
terms of market expectations
•
Refining and netback dynamics will be driven by (a) Latin American refining capacity growth and (b) continued destruction environment in US
•
“Decoupling”
of WTI and Brent underpinned by structural factors-
Brent driven by EM growth, Middle East/West
unrest, North Sea decline
•
How much upside for light and tight oil in US (and may be the key question
