The Sector At A Glance

Key Insights On The Oil & Gas Sector Of Poland

The latest Poland Oil & Gas Report from BMI forecasts that the country will account for 9.3% of CEE regional oil demand by 2010, while providing less than 0.2% of supply. CEE regional oil demand rose to 5.1mn barrels per day (b/d) last year and should average 5.2mn b/d in 2006, before reaching 5.9mn b/d by 2010. Production of 12.0mn b/d last year is forecast to reach 14.7mn b/d by 2010. CEE gas consumption in 2005 was 571bn cubic metres (bcm), with demand of 688bcm targeted for 2010. Production last year of 670bcm should reach 743bcm by the end of the decade. Poland's share of consumption in 2005 was 2.5%, while it provides an insignificant contribution to regional supply. By 2010, its share of demand is forecast to be 2.9%.

Assuming an uneventful Q4, we are now predicting an OPEC basket price for 2006 averaging US$61.10/bbl – an increase of US$1.10 from our June forecast. This also represents a 19% rise from the FY05 average. Our forecasts for the US, Brent and Urals are US$66.40, US$65.40 and US$61.60/bbl respectively. For 2007, we continue to assume an OPEC basket price of US$50/bbl, which implies US$55.40 for the US, US$53.40 for Brent and US$49.50 for Urals. Prices are then forecast to fall by around US$5/bbl in 2008-2010, with the OPEC price averaging US$45/bbl over the period.

Polish real GDP growth is now forecast by BMI at 5.2% for 2006, up from 3.5% in 2005. We are assuming 4.6% growth in 2007 and 4.0% in 2008, followed by 4.2% in 2009 and 4.0% in 201. A small but growing motor vehicle population and renewed economic activity should push oil demand to 551,000b/d by 2010, representing annual growth of around 3%. Given a bleak outlook for local supply, in spite of efforts by state explorer Polskie Gσrnictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo (PGNiG) and some international oil company (IOC) partners, the end-decade import volume can be expected to reach 534,000b/d. We are assuming gas consumption reaching 20bcm by 2010, requiring imports of 15.2bcm.

In the BMI Business Environment Ranking matrix, Poland receives an unchanged composite score of 36, which still ranks the country third out of 12 states included in the CEE region. The country's overall business environment can be considered attractive in a regional context, thanks largely to low levels of perceived political and economic risk, an established competitive landscape involving several IOCs and a reasonable regulatory/licensing regime. There is very little in the way of domestic upstream oil or gas resources, which limits Poland's appeal. However, the fuels market is growing fast, with EU membership stimulating both privatisation and liberalisation.
