Executive Summary

In this report, we forecast that Bahrain will account for 0.4% of Middle East regional oil demand by 2013, while providing just 0.2% of supply. Regional oil use of 8.24mn barrels per day (b/d) in 2001 rose to an estimated 10.86mn b/d in 2008. It should average 11.09mn b/d in 2009 and then rise to around 12.08mn b/d by 2013. Regional oil production was 22.87mn b/d in 2001, and in 2008 averaged an estimated 25.94mn b/d. It is set to rise to 28.99mn b/d by 2013. Oil exports are growing steadily, because demand growth is lagging the pace of supply expansion. In 2001, the region was exporting an average 14.63mn b/d. This total had risen to an estimated 15.08mn b/d in 2008 and is forecast to reach 16.91mn b/d by 2013.

In terms of natural gas, the region in 2008 consumed an estimated 395bn cubic metres (bcm), with demand of 573bcm targeted for 2013, representing 45% growth. Production of an estimated 410bcm in 2008 should reach 617bcm in 2013 (+50.5%), which implies net exports rising to 45bcm by the end of the period. Bahrain’s share of gas consumption in 2008 was an estimated 2.43%, while its share of production is put at 2.59%. By 2013, its share of gas consumption is forecast to be 2.75%, with the country accounting for 2.11% of supply.

In terms of the OPEC basket of crudes, the average price in Q408 was an estimated US$52.53 per barrel (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% year-on-year (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. 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/bbl for the OPEC price, gaining further ground to US$65 in 2011 and US$70/bbl in 2012. We are now using a long-term price assumption of US$70 for 2013-2018, down from our previous assumption of US$90/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.

Bahrain’s real GDP growth is forecast by BMI at 3.5% for 2009, following an estimated 5.2% in 2008. We are assuming 4.4% growth in 2010, 4.2% in 2011, 4.4% in 2012, and 5.0% in 2013. Consumption of oil is set to rise with the growth of the economy, increasing by at least 3% per annum over the forecast period and reaching an estimated 48,000b/d by 2013. The state accounts for all domestic oil and gas production, as well as the refining and distribution segment. International oil company (IOC) involvement is very limited. Thanks to a lack of resources potential and the absence of large-scale IOC upstream ventures, crude and liquids output is now averaging 48,000b/d; however, no further significant near-term decline is expected. We are assuming liquids volumes will rise towards a peak of 60,000b/d by 2012. Gas output is set to increase from an estimated 10.6bcm in 2008 to 13.0bcm during the period, providing an import requirement of 2.8bcm.

Between 2007 and 2018, we are forecasting a decrease in Bahrain oil production of 18.4%, with crude volumes peaking in 2012 at 60,000b/d, before falling to 40,000b/d by the end of the 10-year forecast period. Oil consumption between 2007 and 2018 is set to increase by 38.4%, with growth slowing to an assumed 3.0% per annum towards the end of the period and the country using 55,000 b/d by 2018. Gas production is expected to climb towards 15bcm by 2014-16, then decline to 14bcm by the end of the period. With 2007-2018 demand growth of 123%, this provides an import requirement rising to 6.1bcm by 2018. Details of BMI’s 10-year forecasts can be found in the appendix to this report, which provides global, regional and country-specific projections.

Bahrain still occupies ninth place in BMI’s updated Upstream Business Environment rating, above only Saudi Arabia. It stands second from last because of the very modest oil and gas reserves, poor production growth outlook, low reserves-to-production ratios (RPR) and modest non-state involvement in the upstream segment. The country’s risk environment is very sound, but this may prove insufficient to help Bahrain tackle Kuwait above it in the league table. It should, however, be able to keep Saudi Arabia at bay and avoid slipping to last place. The state is now ranked second from last (above only Iraq) in BMI’s updated Downstream Business Environment rating, with few high scores and progress further up the rankings unlikely. It is ranked ninth thanks to low scores for refining capacity, oil and gas demand, population and the privatisation trend. The growth outlooks for oil/gas consumption and refining capacity also represent relatively weak suits, along with the pedestrian increase in GDP per capita. Iraq is immediately behind it in the regional rankings, and there is some risk of it challenging Bahrain.
