| Futures contracts signal oil price fall by Patrick Osgood on Mar 28, 2012 The region’s upstream industry has bounced back from the malaise of 2008 strongly on the back of high oil prices, sent even higher this year by the ongoing diplomatic crisis with Iran and supply shocks in several non-OPEC states. A Financial Times report suggests the recent surge in prices is not be here to stay, and should not be priced to commecial arrangements in by regional oil companies. Javier Blas at the Financial Times has reported on the large discrepancy between spot and longer-dated future oil price contracts, which signals a belief that oil prices are set for a severe fall in the medium term. Blas reports that while spot oil prices are up almost $20 since the start of the year to around $125 a barrel, oil for delivery in December 2018 has risen only $1 to around $95, with the 30-year gap being the largest on record. The gap between spot and three-year dated oil is around $25 a barrel, Blas reports. The report emphasises the importance of the region’s upstream sector to make conservative price assumptions in their business models, as political events and uncertainties plague the current supply and demand outlook in oil markets.

| Abu Dhabi's Mubadala pours $2bn into EBX Brazil E&P by Patrick Osgood on Mar 27, 2012 ABU DHABI - Mar 27, 2012 - Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala investment vehicle is investing in oil and gas in Brazil, after agreeing to take a 5% share in EBX Group, the privately owned Brazillian oil firm, for $2 billion. EBX’s owner, Braziillian multi-billionaire Eike Batista, has been seeking cash for a major push into developing offshore re-salt assets, as the private company looks to take a slice of the prodigious pre-salt discoveries in the Santos Basin off the coast of Brazil before state firm Petrobras hoovers them up. Created in 2007, EBX’s subsidiary EBX has a portfolio of potential resources estimated at 10.8 billion barrels of oil equivalent across 35 exploratory blocks located in some of the most promising sedimentary basins in Brazil (30 blocks) and Colombia (5 blocks). The company started its first oil production in January 2012. The deal also gives the $46 billion Mubadala fund a foothold into the diversified portfolio of businesses run under EBX’s parent company, Centennial Asset Brazilian Equity Fund, including entertainment, heavy industry and fertilizer production. Brazil is seen as a robust emerging growth market. Source: ArabianOilandGas.com |
| Abu Dhabi is on track to achieve growth targets by Haseeb Haider on March 22, 2012 ABU DHABI - Abu Dhabi is on track to achieve its economic growth targets set in Vision 2030, said Mohammed Omar Abdullah, undersecretary, Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development. “The annual economic growth rate of five to six per cent envisaged in Vision 2030 may not be met this year. It can fluctuate, however, on an average in the next 18-years, the target fixed will be achieved,” he said. Speaking to reporters after opening the Global Investment Forum organised by DED Abu Dhabi and Institutional Investor magazine, he said the economic department was working on the final touches of key important initiatives to further enhance national economic competitiveness. The UAE’s overall global competitiveness, 27th globally out of 142 economies surveyed, is a product of tangible achievements among key sub-indicators. For example, the country’s high quality of infrastructure, where it captures the 8th position globally, as well as the 10th globally in terms of its highly efficient goods markets, he said. Moreover, UAE’s strong macroeconomic stability comes at the 11th globally, in addition to other aspects of the country’s institutions — such as high public trust in politicians (8th globally) and high government efficiency (5th). In Abu Dhabi, cross border investments, joined with international trade, have traditionally been a defining characteristic and a principal pillar of the Emirate’s viewpoint with the wider world. Recent statistics show that non-oil GDP captured 50.3 per cent of the emirate’s total GDP, while oil GDP accounted for 49.7 per cent in 2010. Abu Dhabi has set the boosting of FDI as a key priority which will rise to 23 per cent of GDP by 2030. Abu Dhabi stands as a promising hub for investments and partnerships based upon its firm fundamentals, motivated particularly by the government-targeted 10 focus sectors. Abu Dhabi offers a considerable package of incentives to foreign investors and companies wishing to invest in the emirate, making it one of the most competitive investment destinations. In the same context, a recently published report by Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), entitled Hot Spots, which ranks the most competitive cities in the world for their demonstrated ability to attract capital, business, talent and tourists, according to the report, UAE’s two major sisters cities Abu Dhabi and Dubai are ranked as the most competitive cities in the Middle East.

| South Korea wins stake in Abu Dhabi Oil blocks by Patrick Osgood on Mar 6, 2012 South Korea took a historic step yesterday in its bid to forge long-term strategic ties with Abu Dhabi, taking a 40% stake in new field concessions covering 10% of the emirate’s landmass. The Korean National Oil Company (KNOC) has taken a 34% stake in three exploration blocks, with the country’s oil firm GS Energy taking a further 6%. In return South Korea is obligated to stump up $2 billion of the $5 billion investment required to develop the field. Abu Dhabi, via national oil company ADNOC, retains a 60% stake and will put up the rest of the required investment. “We now have our own fields in the Middle East,” said Lee Myung-bak, South Korea’s president, remarking on South Korea’s first equity stake in the region’s oil. Abu Dhabi promised the deal to South Korea last year. Source: ArabianOilandGas.com |
| Saudi Arabia to be world #3 in petrochemicals by 2015 by Abdelghani Henni on Mar 6, 2012 Saudi Arabia is expected to be the third largest petrochemical exporter by 2015, according to Prince Saud bin Abdullah bin Thenayan Al-Saud, Chairman of the Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) and the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu. "Petrochemicals plays a vital role in our life, and it is a major contributor of the economy diversification," Prince Al-Saud said in his keynote speech at the second Saudi Downstream Forum held in Jubail. "Currently, we control 8% of the global petrochemical market," he said. "By 2015, our market share will be 15%, allowing the Kingdom to be the third largest petrochemical exporter in the world."

| Sanctions squash Saudi's oil supply cushion by Patrick Osgood on Mar 1, 2012 To ward off a further surge in oil prices Saudi Arabia is pumping almost 10 million barrels of oil per day, pushing the world’s largest oil producer to produce closer to its capacity than at any time since the 1970s. After Saudi’s crude capacity is tapped out, only the release of the strategic oil reserves held by OECD countries would stand in the way of a severe oil shock. Other inventories of oil in consumer countries are low, and China still has a significant way to go before its own reserve reaches the percentage of its consumption required by the International Energy Agency, the OECD body that manages the strategic reserve and lobbies on behalf of consuming countries. These concerns, amplified by the ongoing diplomatic spat between Iran and Western nation over the purported weaponisation of its uranium enrichment program, have kept Brent futures at $122 a barrel at the time of writing. The IEA recently cut its estimate of Saudi’s production capacity to 11.9 million bpd, and said Saudi pumped 9.9 million bpd in January. Saudi maintains that it can pump 12.5 million bpd if needed, though it would take up to 90 days to reach full capacity. Oil Minister Ali Al Naimi claims the Kingdom can pump between 11.4 and 11.8 million bpd at the spin of a tap. Other gulf producers are already producing at or very near capacity, with the UAE and Kuwait both pumping around 3 million bpd in January. The Kingdom’s importance has already increased dramatically following increasingly stringent sanctions on Iranian oil, with consumers from Asian and European countries queuing up to court secure supplies.

| $6bn downstream venture may see Oman exports dip
by Arabian Oil & Gas Staff on Mar 1, 2012 The Oman government is pressing ahead with a planned refinery and petrochemical complex at the industrial city of Duqm, as part of a $6 billion joint venture with Abu Dhabi’s International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC). The project will see Oman capture significantly more of the value chain of the oil it produces in-country, but will likely see Oman’s total oil exports fall significantly, as the refinery will take 230,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude when fully operational. “Land has been reserved for the project at Duqm and it takes five years to complete the project,” said Eng Yahya bin Khamis al Zadjali, Head of Planning and Engineering, Duqm Special Economic Zone Authority, in the Times of Oman. Al Zadjali also announced at a BankMuscat investor conference that the Oman Oil Company would be investing in a railway project to the UAE, and power and desalination plants at Duqm. A port expansion is underway, with Al Zadjali telling investors that eight berths at Duqm will be available by the end of this year, rising to 50 when the second development phase is completed.
