Middle East Energy Outlook

SP Jain Dubai, May 2013

Outline
1. 2. 3. Global and Middle East oil & gas export patterns The regions internal demand Fiscal challenges

Key messages
Each MENA country faces different, though related, challenges MENA will remain the key oil & gas exporting region, but, with sub-Saharan Africa, oriented ever more towards Asia Asia a secondary but growing investor in MENA and a massive player in subSaharan Africa, mostly by China Oil & gas will continue to be the bedrock of the MENA economy, but cannot drive growth as it did over the last decade Sub-Saharan Africa is different oil/gas export-led growth remains vital For the first time, MENAs internal demand is increasingly important and challenging Political unrest means investment risks but also new pressures for reform & economic growth The confluence of these factors means new fiscal challenges

Middle East energy sector : Oil R/P ratio

Source: BP Statistical Review 2012

World proved oil reserves reached 1652.6 billion barrels at the end of 2011, sufficient to meet 54.2 years of global production. The Middle East region holds 48.1% of global proved reserves but the large increase in its production reduced the regions R/P ratio despite an increase in reserves. 4

Middle East energy sector : Gas R/P ratio

Source: BP Statistical Review 2012

World proved natural gas reserves at end-2011 were sufficient to meet 63.6 years of production. The Middle East still holds the largest reserves (38.4% of the world total, compared with 37.8% for Europe & Eurasia) with an R/P ratio of over 150 years.

Middle East to play a key role in future oil demand

In aggregate, Russia/Central Asia supplies Europe, Middle East/Africa supplies Asia, Americas self-sufficient But Middle Eastern oil exports rise little OPEC restraint domestic consumption OPEC itself forecasts slowly-falling market 2030 share from 34% today to 32% by 2015-35 5.7 Mbpd increment from 2010 to 2035, compared to: Iraq +6.5 Mbpd by 2020? Kuwait +1 Mbpd by 2020 UAE +0.7 Mbpd by 2017 Libya +0.5 Mbpd by 2017 Revival in Iran? Venezuela? Africa exports fairly flat but subSaharan Africa grows largely at expense of North Africa (Algeria, Egypt decline)

Shale gas can reshape gas trade flows

Less LNG demand in Europe? Lower Chinese (and Indian?) LNG imports

North American shale-to-LNG

North African shale gas to Europe

More intraMENA gas trade? Australian shale-toLNG

Significant shale gas potential

New conventional gas

White: satellite imagery of lights = energy demand Purple Red: global gas basins, in increasing size of resources (USGS) Yellow: main current and future export routes for Middle East gas

Worlds 9th largest crude producer and 5th largest net exporter Abu Dhabi accounts for over 90% of UAEs upstream sector

Major capacity expansion program underway from 2.5m bpd (2011) to 3.5m bpd (2017); 40% increase
Over US$50 billion of investments required in upstream in the UAE alone during this 5-year plan APICORP (January 2012) ranks UAE as second highest investor in the MENA region with US$ 76 billion of energy investments expected in 2012-2016 across the full value chain

MENA (esp GCC) highly energy-intensive


Primary energy consumption (toe/capita) 20.0 15.0 10.0 5.0 0.0

GCC energy intensity is high in general Qatar, Bahrain and UAE are particularly high High income levels Air-conditioning and desalination Energy-intensive industry (aluminium, petrochemicals, LNG, etc) Subsidised prices, hence waste and inefficiency Focus turns to serving domestic market rather than export, especially in gas But GCC, Iraq, Libya remain major oil exporters

Attention turning to unconventional gas


Gulf unconventional plays varied, potentially large Sour and contaminated gas (CO2, H2S, nitrogen) Tight gas (sands & carbonates) Shale gas, condensate and oil Deep and ultra-deep Mixed resources (e.g. deep, tight and sour)

Alternative energy becoming competitive


ELECTRICITY GENERATION COST ($C/KWH) 0 Gas, $1 Gas, $8 Gas, $15 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20

Oil, $20
Nuclear Coal CCS Solar PV ($2.50/W) Solar PV ($2/W)

Alternative generation (solar, nuclear, coal CCS) is cheaper than LNG or oil However, high-cost domestic gas (e.g. unconventional) at ~$8/MMBtu is still competitive against alternatives

Responses to these new challenges


Future energy sector themes 1. Mature field management (enhanced oil recovery)

2.
3.

Domestic gas including unconventionals


Alternative energy mostly nuclear and solar, plus efficiency

Economic responses 1. 2. 3. Restructuring the NOCs & SOEs for greater efficiency Greater international & private-sector E&P investment (as in late 1990s) Privatisation (at least of non-core assets)?
