Executive Summary

BMI forecasts that Italy will account for 12.36% of developed European regional oil demand by 2013, while contributing 4.08% 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 5.00mn 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. Italy’s share of gas consumption in 2008 was an estimated 17.92%, while it contributed around 3.37% to production. By 2013, its share of gas consumption is forecast to be 18.14%, with a 2.86% contribution to regional 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$40.00. 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.

Italian real GDP is forecast by BMI to fall by 2.4% in 2009, compared with the estimated 0.6% decline in 2008. We are assuming an average annual growth rate of 0.7% between 2009 and 2013. By 2013, we expect to see the country consuming 1.74mn b/d of oil. A steady rise in near-term domestic oil production is expected. We are assuming oil production of 180,000b/d by 2010, but imports are set to reach 1.58mn b/d by 2013. Use of gas in power generation is the key to demand growth and consumption looks set to reach 89.2bcm by 2013. Imports are likely to have reached 81.2bcm at this stage.

Between 2007 and 2018, we are forecasting a decrease in Italian oil production of 1.6%, with output peaking at 180,000b/d in 2010 before slipping to 120,000b/d at the end of the 10-year forecast period. Given oil consumption forecast to decrease by 2.69%, imports can be expected to fall from an estimated 1.59mn b/d in 2008 to 1.58mn b/d during the forecast period. Gas demand should rise from the estimated 2008 level of 78.5bcm to 98.5bcm by 2018. Production of an estimated 8.9bcm in 2008 is expected to fall to 7.0bcm by 2018, requiring imports up from 69.6bcm to 91.5bcm, in the form of pipeline gas and LNG. Details of BMI’s 10-year forecasts can be found in the appendix to this report, which provides global, regional and country-specific projections.

Our long-term political score for Italy is 80.3 (out of 100), below the developed markets average of 85.8. Italy has the third-lowest political risk rating of countries in the BMI developed markets universe. Our long-term economic risk rating is 66.1, which compares with a developed markets average of 68.9. It is the second-lowest in the group of countries, ahead of Greece. Italy has a privatised energy sector operating under EU guidelines. There is a significant upstream oil and gas segment featuring domestic and foreign operators. Downstream oil is highly competitive and involves a mixture of international oil companies (IOCs) and domestic companies. Both the gas and power markets are privatised and open to competition.
