The Sector At A Glance

Key Insights On The Oil & Gas Sector Of Singapore

The latest Singapore Oil & Gas Report from BMI forecasts that the country will account for 3.37% of Asia/Pacific regional oil demand by 2010, while not contributing to supply. Asia/Pacific regional oil demand rose to an estimated 24.74mn b/d last year and should average 25.36mn b/d in 2007, before reaching 27.64mn b/d by 2010. Asia/Pacific gas consumption in 2006 is estimated at 419bcm, with demand of 602bcm targeted for 2010. Production last year of 342bcm should reach 490bcm by the end of the decade. Singapore’s share of consumption in 2006 was an estimated 1.67%, while it has no domestic gas production. By 2010, its share of demand is forecast to be 2.16%.

For the whole of last year, our preliminary estimates of average prices are US$61.30 per barrel for the OPEC basket, US$65.03 for Brent, US$66.24/bbl for WTI and US$61.30 for Urals. For 2007, the revised BMI forecasts are for the OPEC basket to average US$55 per barrel. Based on last year’s typical price differentials, this implies Brent at US$58.72, WTI averaging US$59.94/bbl, and Urals at US$55 per barrel. Our central view is that the OPEC basket price will slip from US$55/bbl this year to US$50 in 2008, before settling around US$45/bbl in 2009/2010.

Singapore’s real GDP growth is forecast by BMI at 4.5% for 2007, down from an estimated 7.4% in 2006. We are assuming 4.3% growth in 2008-09, followed by 4.2% in 2010. There is no domestic oil or gas production, with extensive IOC involvement in refining and petrochemicals. Oil consumption is forecast to increase by around 3% per annum to 2011, implying demand of 967,000b/d by the end of the forecast period. Gas demand and imports are forecast to increase from an estimated 7bcm last year to 13.7bcm by 2011.

In the BMI Business Environment Ranking matrix, Singapore receives an unchanged composite score of 35, which continues to rank the country fourth out of 14 states included in the Asia/Pacific region. The overall business environment can be considered attractive in a regional context, thanks almost exclusively to low levels of perceived political and economic risk. The country has no oil or gas resources, which restricts its appeal to international oil companies (IOCs). There is only modest growth in domestic oil and gas consumption, but the regulatory framework is benign and an effective competitive landscape exists. Singapore is a regional refining and petrochemicals hub, with much of its appeal coming from its location and the political/economic stability. However, regional competition is strong and some IOCs have been reducing their exposure to the island state.
