Executive Summary

The latest Israel Oil & Gas Report from BMI forecasts that the country will account for 2.58% of Middle East (ME) regional oil demand by 2013, while making no appreciable contribution to rising oil 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. Israel in 2008 consumed an estimated 1.77% of the region’s gas, with its market share forecast at 1.83% by 2013. It contributed an estimated 1.71% to 2008 regional gas production and, by 2013, will account for 1.13% 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/bbl 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$40.00. 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.

Israel’s real GDP growth is forecast at 1.3% in 2009, down from an estimated 4.0% in 2008. We assume 1.9% growth in 2010, 2.1% in 2011, 2.4% in 2012, followed by 2.5% in 2013. We expect oil demand to rise from an estimated 285,000b/d in 2007 to 312,000b/d in 2013, although the state would like to minimise dependency on imports and exploit fully the country’s modest gas resources. A lack of serious upstream prospects and limited international oil company (IOC) participation mean Israel is likely to continue importing virtually all the oil needed to supply its domestic refineries. Domestic gas production has risen following the start-up of the Tethys Sea project, with up to 7bcm of supply available. Gas imports could be as high as 3.5bcm per annum by 2013.

Between 2007 and 2018, we are forecasting an increase in Israeli oil consumption of 17.8%, with demand rising steadily from 285,000b/d to 336,000b/d by the end of the 10-year forecast period. Refining capacity between 2007 and 2018 is set to increase by 59.1%, reaching 350,000b/d by 2018. Gas production is expected to climb from 6bcm to a plateau of 7bcm. With 2007-2018 demand growth of 123.4%, this provides an import requirement increasing to 6.4bcm during the forecast period. Details of the new BMI 10-year forecasts can be found in the appendix to this report, which provides global, regional and country-specific projections.

Israel still takes seventh place just ahead of Kuwait in BMI’s updated Upstream Business Environment rating, although Kuwait could challenge its position as it has far greater upstream potential – should the competitive environment improve. Israel’s score benefits from the state’s non-involvement in the upstream segment, the licensing terms and privatisation progress, plus the healthy country risk outlook. The overall score is dragged down by the lack of hydrocarbon resources and growth prospects. The country is well in the upper half of the league table in BMI’s updated Downstream Business Environment rating, with a few high scores but near-term progress further up the rankings unlikely. It is ranked second, two points ahead of the UAE and Oman, thanks largely to excellent country risk factors that outweigh a modest showing in terms of oil/gas demand, oil demand growth and likely refining capacity expansion. Oman represents little immediate threat, but the UAE has the potential to challenge for second place.
