Study Notes
Oil Industry Facing Decline?
- The presentation focuses on the future of the oil industry in the face of climate change.
- The agenda outlines key topics, such as life cycle of an oil field, reserves, supply and demand, pricing mechanisms and the oil players' response to the energy transition.
- The presentation examines the life cycle of a conventional oil field, from exploration through delineation, development, plateau, enhanced recovery, and abandonment.
- Illustrative data for the life cycle of an oil field shows declining production over time. Different phases like exploration, delineation and development require different amount of investment, while a build-up phase marks the plateau of production, followed by enhanced recovery and decline.
- The presentation differentiates between the life cycle of conventional oil fields from the life cycle of oil shale formations, presenting the declining production profile of a shale oil field over time.
- Yearly declines presented in the presentation vary from field to field, and are significantly higher during the early years of production.
- Data on proved oil reserves reveals that the distribution across regions has shifted over time. The Middle East consistently holds the largest share, although other regions have also experienced changes.
- The current level of global oil discoveries is significantly lower than in the past.
- OPEC holds the largest share of global conventional oil reserves in 2020.
- Oil reserves levels, production levels, refining margins and currency exchange rates (forex) are considered key metrics for an oil & gas company.
- Oil demand by sector and scenario projection indicates that oil demand could drop to ~80% in the NZE by 2050. Different sectors like road transport, petrochemicals, buildings and other industries will exhibit different reduction rates in oil demand.
- Global oil demand by sector and annual average change by region shows fluctuating demand trends.
- Post-Covid, oil demand growth has lost momentum due to government spending in clean energy and global central bank policies.
Reserves Definitions
- Proven reserves are recoverable from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. These reserves have a 90% confidence level.
- Probable reserves have a 50% probability of being recoverable.
- Possible reserves are recoverable with a 10% confidence or P10.
Oil Price Formation Mechanism
- OPEC adjusting volumes, and swing suppliers.
- OECD commercial stocks and geopolitical factors.
- Non-OPEC players.
- Financial markets' fluctuations (market speculation).
Oil Players Facing Energy Transition
- Key players in the oil industry, including National Oil Companies (NOCs) and International Oil Companies (IOCs), are playing significant roles by facing the energy transition.
- NOCs focus on long-standing, government-owned, cradle-to-grave operations.
- IOCs tend to be listed companies with robust financial power.
The Oil Supply Structure (i)
- Most of the world's oil supplies are dependent on a small portion (approximately 300) of super-giant and giant oil fields. This proportion accounts for about 60% of global oil supply, out of a total 70,000 oil fields.
- Distribution of giant and super-giant oilfields by region shows significant concentration in specific regions.
The Oil Supply Structure (ii and iii)
- The top 20 oil fields contribute considerably to global oil production, with some fields being predominant.
- Top 5 oilfields for 2012 exhibit a sharp decline since then. Data are expressed in thousands of millions of barrels.
Climate Change Mechanisms and Impacts
- Increased radiation leads to higher evaporation and excess heat, which, in turn, drives radiative forcing.
- Fossil fuel use leads to CO2 emissions, pollution, and increased heat, worsening radiative forcing.
- These factors contribute to elevated global temperatures and climate change.
Quiz on Climate Change
- Industry-related CO2 emissions are approximately 3.5 billion tonnes per year.
- The Paris Agreement aims to limit CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere to below 450 ppm.
- The Paris Agreement's goal of 1.5°C calls for global carbon neutrality by 2050.
The Challenge of Decarbonizing the Energy Industry
- The challenge of decarbonizing the energy industry is substantial.
The Energy Value Chain
- The presentation demonstrates the energy chain from primary energy sources (oil, gas, coal, etc.) to final forms of energy and used energy (electricity, heat, transport).
- Various loss factors during conversion, transportation or usage are presented.
- Electricity is shown to have a high carbon footprint compared to other forms of energy usage.
Three Energy Scenarios
- Three energy scenarios (STEPS, APS, NZE) are presented, mirroring IPCC climate scenarios and representing various degrees of decarbonization.
- These scenarios address decarbonization, energy value chain, and the radical redesign of global and regional economies with a focus on electricity, energy consumption and production.
- Global electricity demand will rise significantly by 2050.
Carbon Sources and Sinks
- The budget imbalance exists between estimated sources and sinks of carbon dioxide.
- Reducing the excess carbon dioxide emissions and supporting carbon sinks are both essential to climate action.
The Players in the Oil Game (IOCs/NOCs)
- International companies (IOCs) and national petroleum companies (NOCs) differ in their operational models, financial and legal status and roles.
Global Upstream Oil & Gas Investments
- Global upstream investments in oil & gas currently lie close to 47% below 2014 level in real terms.
- The major cuts were a result of the energy transition and Covid.
Other Points
- The presentation has information about several energy sectors and their challenges in the context of climate change, including policies, markets, and investments.
