Executive Summary

The latest France Oil & Gas Report from BMI forecasts that the country will account for 13.71% of developed European regional oil demand by 2013, while making no appreciable contribution to supply. In Developed Europe, overall oil consumption reached an estimated 13.75mn barrels per day (b/d) in 2008. It is set to rise to around 14.04mn b/d by 2013. Developed Europe regional oil production was 6.97mn b/d in 2001, and in 2008 averaged an estimated 5.0mn b/d. It is set to fall to just 3.80mn b/d by 2013. Oil imports are growing steadily, because supply is contracting and demand is rising, albeit slowly. In 2008, net crude imports were an estimated 8.75mn b/d. By 2013, they are expected to have reached 10.24mn b/d.

In terms of natural gas, the Developed Europe region in 2008 consumed an estimated 440bn cubic metres (bcm), with demand of 490bcm targeted for 2013, representing 11.2% growth. Production of an estimated 269bcm in 2007 should rise to 279bcm in 2013, which implies net imports rising from the estimated 2008 level of 171bcm to some 211bcm by the end of the period. France’s share of gas consumption in 2008 was an estimated 9.54%, while it has no appreciable share of production. By 2013, its share of gas consumption is forecast to be 8.88%.

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$52.0/bbl (-45% y-o-y), with Q109 expected to deliver US$40.0. 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$58.0/bbl for the OPEC price, gaining further ground to US$65.0 in 2011 and US$70.0/bbl in 2012. We are now using a long-term price assumption of US$70.0 for 2013-2018, down from our previous assumption of US$90.0/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$67.0/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.

French real GDP is now forecast by BMI to fall by 2.0% in 2009, down from estimated growth of 0.8% in 2008. We are assuming an average 0.9% growth in 2009-13. Oil consumption is set to stagnate in spite of increased economic activity, with demand of an estimated 1.90mn b/d in 2008 expected to slip further in 2009/10. Crude oil imports are expected to have reached 1.92mn b/d by 2013, with domestic crude oil production falling from an estimated 20,000b/d to 9,000b/d over the period. Gas demand is expected to rise more quickly than for oil, with new sources of supply being lined up by GDF Suez, which has signed import agreements with Egypt, Russia, Norway, Algeria and the Netherlands. Gas consumption is likely to have reached 43.5bcm by 2013. Production is negligible, so imports will rise to 41.7bcm.

Between 2007 and 2018, we are forecasting a decrease in French oil and gas liquids consumption of 0.21%, with 2007 demand of 1.92mn b/d in 2007 slipping below 1.90mn b/d in 2009/10, before rising slowly to a peak of 1.93mn b/d in 2014. By 2013, we are forecasting French consumption of 1.92mn b/d. Production is set to fall from 20,000b/d to just 6,000b/d during the same period. Gas demand should rise from the estimated 2008 level of 42bcm to no more than 45bcm by 2018, based largely on LNG and pipeline imports. Details of BMI’s 10-year forecasts can be found in the appendix to this report, which provides global, regional and country-specific projections.

France’s long-term political risk score is 84.0, putting it above Belgium, Italy, Greece and Spain, but below Norway, Germany and the UK. The Developed Markets average is 85.8. The long-term economic rating is 65.4, which is below the Developed Markets average of 68.9. France has a fully privatised and competitive oil and gas industry. State holdings have been reduced greatly in electricity and gas suppliers Électricité de France (EdF) and GDF Suez. The upstream and downstream oil segments are privatised and deregulated, with considerable IOC involvement in refining and distribution, even though former state company Total has the greatest market share.
