Executive Summary

The latest Australia Oil & Gas Report from BMI forecasts that the country will account for 3.28% of Asia Pacific regional oil demand by 2013, while providing 5.79% of supply. Asia Pacific regional oil use of 21.40mn barrels per day (b/d) in 2001 reached an estimated 26.13mn b/d in 2008. It should average 26.50mn b/d in 2009, then rise to around 28.99mn b/d by 2013. Australia accounted for an estimated 3.56% of 2008 regional consumption. In terms of natural gas, in 2008 the region consumed an estimated 443bn cubic metres (bcm) and demand of 577bcm is targeted for 2013. Production of an estimated 361bcm in 2008 should reach 483bcm in 2013, but implies net imports rising from an estimated 82bcm per annum in 2008 to 94bcm in 2013. Australia’s share of gas consumption in 2008 was an estimated 5.84%, while its share of production is put at 12.45%. By 2013 its share of gas consumption is forecast to be 5.11%, with the country accounting for 12.82% of supply.

In terms of the OPEC basket of crudes, the average price in Q408 was an estimated US$52.53/bbl, down sharply from the US$113.49 recorded during the previous three months. The full year 2008 average is put by BMI at US$94.08/bbl, representing a 36% y-o-y increase. North Sea Brent, WTI and Russian Urals are believed to have averaged US$97.06, US$99.33 and US$94.56/bbl respectively during 2008. For 2009, we are now assuming an average OPEC basket price of US$52/bbl (-45% y-o-y), with Q109 expected to deliver US$40.00. The new full year forecast implies Brent crude at US$55.65, WTI averaging US$56.63/bbl and Urals at US$52.48 for 2009. For 2010, we expect to see a recovery to US$58.00/bbl for the OPEC price, gaining further ground to US$65.00 in 2011 and US$70.00/bbl in 2012. We are now using a long-term price assumption of US$70.00 for 2013-2018, down from our previous assumption of US$90.00/bbl.

In 2009, we see monthly average global wholesale gasoline prices ranging from US$38.90 in January to a high of US$64.90 reached in August and in December, providing a full year average of US$56.20 – just over 55% of the 2008 outturn. The 2009 BMI gasoil forecast is for an average price of US$67/bbl, assuming a monthly low of US$46.40 in January and a high of US$77.30/bbl in December. The full-year outturn represents a 45% downturn from the 2008 level. For 2009, the monthly average jet fuel price is forecast to range from US$47.90 in January to US$79.80/bbl in August, proving an annual level of US$69.20/bbl.

Australian real GDP growth is forecast by BMI at 1.7% for 2009, down from an estimated 2.0% in 2008. We are assuming growth of 3.0% in 2010 and 3.7% in 2011, followed by 3.4% in 2012 and 3.1% in 2013. There is no state oil industry, but a group of domestic and leading international companies is investing heavily in gas production and exports to help slow the rate of decline in Australia’s oil output. We are assuming oil and gas liquids production peaking at 610,000b/d in 2010, falling to 505,000b/d by 2013. Consumption is forecast to increase by less than 1.0% per annum to 2013, implying demand of 950,000b/d by the end of the forecast period. The import requirement would therefore be approximately 445,000b/d by 2013.

Between 2007 and 2018, we are forecasting a decrease in Australian oil production of 29.57%, with crude volumes peaking in 2010 at 610,000b/d, before falling steadily to 395,000b/d by the end of the period. Oil consumption between 2007 and 2018 is set to increase by 4.17%, with growth slowing to an assumed 0.5% per annum towards the end of the period and the country using 974,000b/d by 2018. Gas production is expected to rise rapidly, from an estimated 45bcm in 2008 to a possible 92bcm by 2018 (+130%). With demand growth of 33%, this provides export potential rising from an estimated 19bcm to 59bcm, all in the form of LNG. Details of the BMI 10-year forecasts can be found in the appendix to this report, which provides global, regional and country-specific projections.

Australia still leads BMI’s updated Upstream Business Environment rating, with its balance of strong gas production/export potential, world class regulatory structure and solid risk environment proving to be a winning combination. However, the gap between it and second-placed India flatters Australia as it is due largely to the poorer country risk environment in India. The country is further down the league table in BMI’s Downstream Business Environment rating, reflecting its status as a mature, deregulated and competitive energy market with limited growth potential. It now occupies sixth place out of the 14 states, just ahead of Indonesia, and could slip still further down the rankings as Country Risk improves elsewhere in the region.
