Oil Market Outlook

The Fat Lady Has Started To Sing


- Sad but true for Norway but not all Doom and Gloom - A dream come true for the US

Hey, Im you life Im the one who took you there Hey, Im your life And I no longer care
Quote: Hetfield, Ulrich, Alan Sad but true

February 2013 - Torbjrn Kjus

The Limit Of Oil Production Is Being Reached - Not


- In 1919 the US had produced 4 billion barrels of oil and the US Bureau of Mines though the country would run out of oil by 1930 - By 2012 the US has produced about 205 billion barrels

Carl Beal (US Bureau of Mines in 1919): The limit of production in this country is being reached, and although new fields undoubtedly await discovery, the yearly output must inevitably decline, because the maintenance of output each year necessitates the drilling of an increasing number of wells. Such an increase becomes impossible after a certain point is reached, not only because of a lack of acreage to be drilled, but because of the great number of wells that will ultimately have to be drilled. The statement above could have been stated now about sceptics to shale oil production in the US, but it was written in 1919.

MIT professor Morris Adelman:


In the United States in 1930, proved reserves were 13 billion barrels. Over the next 60 years, the United States, without Alaska, produced 130 billion barrels. The inventory turned over ten times.

OECD Oil Demand Seasonally Adjusted

JBC claims European oil demand would have been 1 million b/d higher now than ten years ago without a 20% efficiency improvement in the car fleet. Efficiency improvement in the European transportation sector set to knock off a further 0.5 million b/d by 2020 according to the JBC transport model. In Britain the MPG for new cars on the road has increased from 36 MPG to 47 MPG since 2001.

2013 Oil Price Scorecard Brent Forecast Maintained @ 107 $/b


2013 Oil Price Scorecard
Overall Outlook Fundamentals
Global Fundamental Balance Crude vs Product Balance (Margins) OECD Stock levels OPEC Spare Capacity US Oil Statistics - Fundamentals
We forecast 'Call on OPEC' will decrease by 0.7 million b/d on a combination of strong growth in non-OPEC supply (particularly from North-America) and weaker net oil demand growth. More refinery capacity will be added next year than net growth in global oil demand. IEA estimate that more than 4 million b/d of capacity will be added in 2013 if we include desulphurization capacity, upgrading units and CDU expansions. Most of the additions will be in Asia, the Middle East and Former Soviet Union (FSU). OECD stock levels are high when measured in days of demand coverage. Unless OPEC cuts back output next year, OECD stocks will continue to grow. Since we believe there will be a need for OPEC to cut production next year and since we believe Saudi Arabia will defend oil prices in the 80-100 $/b range, the implication of lower output from OPEC is higher spare capacity. In addition the production capacity is expected to grow in Iraq, Libya and Angola. US oil demand is expected to fall 0.1 million b/d next year while liquids supply is expected to grow 0.7 million b/d on the back of the new shale liquids industry. This means US crude imports should continue to decrease, hence making more crude oil available for other consumers. We believe global oil demand growth will be weak also in 2013. A high oil burden normally provides less "bang for the buck" with respect to the intensity factor vs economic growth. Instead of growing 0.5 percent for every percent growth in global GDP, we believe 2013, just as 2012, will offer significantly lower oil demand growth per unit GDP-growth than the long-term average of 0.5. Chinese oil demand growth has been weak so far in 2012 and with expectations of weaker economic growth next year there is probably no reason to expect trend-line growth of Chinese oil demand in 2013 either. We think net global oil demand will grow only 0.7% in 2013 which is very similar to 2012. Chinese oil demand is expected to grow 366 kbd next year vs 271 kbd in 2012. This is meaningfully weaker than the ten-year average growth of 500 kbd. European oil demand will continue to fall, next year by 0.4 million b/d, slightly less than in 2012. OECD Asia oil demand growth, which has been so strong in 2012 (+358 kbd ytd) due to oil used in the power sector in Japan, is expected to fall to about zero in 2013. That could even prove to be optimistic as the 2012-numbers have been inflated by all the nuclear outages (and if many of these reactors return to service next year, oil demand in Japan will start falling). Total OECD demand is expected to fall 0.5 million b/d next year while total non-OECD demand is expected to rise by 1.2 million b/d, providing net global oil demand growth of 0.6 million b/d. We still forecast decent demand growth in Asia, Latin America and most of the Middle-East, but the expected weakness in OECD offsets much of the demand growth in nonOECD. We think OPEC will reduce its production meaningfully in 2013, both since Saudi Arabia will cut its output to balance the market but also since the Iranian conflict is not set to be resolved and hence Iranian capacity is not set to be fully restored in 2013. Non-OPEC production including biofuels is expected to increase by 1.1 million b/d in 2013. 70% of this growth is expected to come in North-America, due to the shale liquids revolution. OPEC NGLs production is expected to increase by 0.3 million b/d. This is normally added to the non-OPEC supply category since it is not part of OPEC's production target system. This means total non-OPEC production including OPEC NGLs is expected to increase by 1.4 million b/d. We do not expect unplanned supply outages caused by accidents, strikes, security issues, technical problems and weather to be as high in 2013 as we have seen in 2012. The largest part of the unplanned outages in 2012 was due to reduced production in Sudan/South-Sudan, Syria, Yemen and the UK (the Buzzard field). The largest reduction in outage is expected from South-Sudan which we estimate will see a gradual return during 2013 starting in February to reach pre-conflict level if above 300 kbd by the end of next year.

Comments
There will be powerful forces working in different directions for the oil market in 2013. Geopolitics and increased liquidity poured into the system from central banks should pose positive elements for oil prices but fundamentally the market will not look strong. After the change of the millennium we have seen two incidents of a decreasing 'Call on OPEC' (2000-02 and 2008-09). Oil prices fell back in both cases. Since we believe the 'Call on OPEC' will decrease significantly in 2013 the average oil price should be falling compared with 2012. We do however still believe it will trade above 100 $/b, supported by the mentioned geopolitical and liquidity factors.

Political Risk
The largest risk is connected to Iran's nuclear program and the fact that EU has decided an oil embargo vs the country and US has imposed financial sanctions. Officials in Iran have threatened to close the strait of Hormuz where 35-40% of the worlds traded oil passes through. We do not think Iran will choose to close the strait. It is rational to threat to close it but irrational to carry through with it. Iran does not have the military muscles to match the US fifth fleet which is based in Bahrain. We always believed there was only a very small chance that Israel would attack Iran in 2012, even though it seemed several players placed some bets on that to happen. Now after the US elections there is however a larger chance for a physical attack since the US will need to be part of this to make any action successful. There is also constant risk for output disruptions in the whole of Middle-East/North-Africa as the "Arab spring" is not at all over in our view. The continuous demonstrations in Egypt illustrate the point. The on-going unrest in Syria, which some view as a proxy war between Iran and Saudi, risks spilling over in a wider sunni-shiite conflict that could threaten stability in the whole region. We hence believe geopolitical risk still justifies a sizeable price premium in the oil market for 2013.

BULLISH

HIGH

Other Factors
Financial Money Flow
The US has had its quantitative easing (QE) nr 1, nr 2 and nr 3. All have been supportive for oil prices. Also the European LTRO-program launched last December was positive for oil prices. Generally any increased liquidity is short term positive for oil prices. The final solution to the European debt crisis could end up being that the ECB will have to help European countries inflate out of the debt problem. This could be serious trouble for the real economy and physical oil demand but could still (temporarily) support oil prices through financial demand for oil (both through increased investment in paper oil and as a hedge vs inflation). We believe the US "fiscal cliff" will be "solved" by last minute compromises between republicans/democrats and that could cause a liquidity rally as we start 2013. The rally will however be relatively short lived as weak global oil fundamentals start making their negative impact on the market.
