Iraq's Oil Sector - New Opportunities
Iraq is unique in its oil wealth, with the world’s second largest proven
reserves at low cost and close to major markets in Asia and Europe, a large
number of oil fields found, but not developed, and a potential for finding
much more oil and natural gas. Iraq’s petroleum resources represent a
potential for many large-scale projects upstream, midstream and downstream.
After more than twenty years of wars and sanctions the Iraqi oil industry is
in an urgent need of maintenance and investment. Oil fields need to be
refurbished, pipelines and terminals repaired. Just to get the Iraqi oil
industry back to its historical capacity could have a cost in the range of
$5-10 billion. As Iraq’s oil revenues in the last years before the war were
about $16-18, there is an evident need for foreign capital and partners. For
foreign investors in the Iraqi oil industry, risk is essentially political,
not geological. With a large number of oil fields found, there is little
exploration risk, although there is a reservoir risk. The political risk is
caused by uncertainty over what kind of government Iraq will have in the
future, what oil policies it will pursue, what relations will be with the
international oil industry, and, finally, what fiscal and other operating
conditions it will offer.
Facts, Policies and Targets in The
Fast-Changing LNG Industry
Fast-Changing LNG Markets: Facts, Policies and Targets is an
in-depth analysis of the stresses, strains and achievements in the industry
as these have intensified in the past two years of stiffening competition in
a globalized industry. Business strategies of all the players in the
industry have changed radically and are continuing to change further as
realization spreads that new competitive pressures are here to stay for many
years. This is true for both the companies and the governments in all
phases of the LNG chain. The new report gives the facts that compel the new
strategies, looking particularly at the prospects in the next five years. It
demonstrates conclusively, for example, the rationale of the current
pressure for shorter S&P contracts. Lower costs, innovative contracts, the
spreading practice of upstream participation by buyers, all these are grist
to the mill, as the industry probes the most profitable way forward. The LNG
business can undoubtedly claim to be the most exciting sector in the world's
energy business today. The detail of what is happening and why are clearly
set forth in this new important Report.
The
Russian Gas Industry to 2020 The
Russian Gas Industry to 2020
provides an in-depth look at the world’s largest gas industry, as it
prepares to cope with the challenges of changing commercial environments in
its major export markets and demands for greater corporate transparency at
home. The report begins with an overview of the far-reaching political and
economic changes that have swept Russia since Vladimir Putin was elected
president of the Russian Federation in March 2000. The
Russian Gas Industry to 2020
examines the problems and prospects for Russia’s ambitious gas reform
program, and considers its impact upon the future development of the Russian
gas industry as a whole. Key issues examined include Russia’s rapidly
changing political and commercial environment; Gazprom’s sometimes
problematical business culture; major political and economic problems in
Russian gas reform; the impact of Russian gas reform on the development of
Russian gas exports; the role of foreign investment in Russian gas
development; and Russia’s relations with both gas producers and gas
consumers in the independent republics of the former Soviet Union. Special
attention is paid to the future of Russian gas exports to Europe,
particularly within the context of the liberalization of energy markets in
the European Union. Also considered is the possible role of East Siberian
gas in allowing new Russian penetration of rapidly growing gas markets in
Japan, Korea and China.
Oil & Gas Investment in
Angola
Over the past five years Angola has
emerged as one of the most promising hydrocarbon ‘hotspots’ in the world. As
a result of the proved reserves and high quality output in the Cabinda
offshore concessions, the demonstrated potential capacity of the offshore
deepwater and ultra-deepwater plays has raised international oil and gas
investment interest.From the current oil production of around 780
000 barrels a day, oil production in Angola is expected to increase to
approximately 1.5 million barrels a day by 2003/04. Moreover, while 75% of
Angola’s current oil production comes from the relatively shallow water
block 0, future production prospects are firmly associated with deepwater
and ultra-deepwater plays. Gas is an emerging resource for Angola and the
practice of flaring gas has been prohibited, with a substantial lead-time
provided for the construction and development of gas processing
infrastructure and facilities. With production estimated to reach 700m cubic
feet a day there will be much opportunity for investment in this area.
Investment in Angola has been affected little by it’s internal political
troubles and all of the major multinationals have significant interests
there. These investment commitments extend to supporting engineering,
construction and services industries and competition for drilling and
development is keen. This report traces the background to the oil and gas
industry in Angola, provides a comprehensive review of the 40 oil E&P
concession blocks, both onshore and offshore, and describes the activities
and involvement of the oil companies with operator and partnership equity
investments in Angola.
Egypt boasts one of the oldest oil & gas industries in the world and
yet still offers many opportunities for existing companies operating
within the country and for those companies looking for new areas. Egypt
offers political stability, well developed infrastructure a comprehensive
and investor friendly legislative framework, numerous farm in
opportunities, and exciting exploration acreage. The country’s state
energy company, EGPC, is one of the most well established and experienced
in Africa, and Egypt’s strategic location and it’s proximity to
important markets and close ties with Europe make it a haven for
investment in both the upstream and downstream sectors. The
Egypt Oil & Gas Report provides essential information for individuals
and companies looking to expand their investment in Egypt’s hydrocarbon
sector or invest for the first time. The report provides useful
information for E&P companies, oilfield service companies, refiners,
and other hydrocarbon sector professionals
Tunisia does not offer
the staggering oil and gas reserves of its better known neighbors, Libya
and Algeria. But while the country cannot boast billion barrel fields or
huge swaths of open acreage, Tunisia does offer a comprehensive and
investor friendly legislative framework, numerous farm in opportunities,
and competitive profit margins. Majors and independents alike have
discovered that Tunisia offers opportunities that larger oil and gas
producing countries cannot match. The country’s state energy company,
ETAP, is one of the most progressive in Africa, and Tunisia’s proximity
to important markets and close ties with the European Union make it a
haven for investment in both the upstream and downstream sectors. The
Tunisia Oil & Gas Report will provide essential information for
individuals and companies looking to expand their investment in
Tunisia’s hydrocarbon sector or invest for the first time. The report
will provide useful information for E&P companies, oilfield service
companies, refiners, and other hydrocarbon sector professionals
The Gulf of Guinea is an emerging player in the global hydrocarbon
industry. After the high profile development of the sector in Angola and
Nigeria, many of the other Gulf of Guinea nations are seeking to emulate
their success. Although limited in size, many of the countries hold
massive potential as sources of oil & gas and these reports explore
the many opportunities for future hydrocarbon investment in each country,
as well as current developments. Along with the issue of international
relations within the region, political and economic risk are also
considered in depth ensuring your organization is fully briefed on the
current condition of the market. The report is essential reading for
companies currently active in the Gulf of Guinea region, and for those
looking to enter the market.
The landscape for oil and gas opportunities in Central Africa is varied
and in a state of transition. The Central Africa Oil and Gas Report
examines the countries of Cameroon, Congo
Brazzaville, Gabon,
Chad Equatorial
Guinea, and São
Tomé & Príncipe. The report provides details of key projects,
and provides analysis government initiatives to attract foreign investment
and participation. The
Chad-Cameroon pipeline project, which is currently being developed in the
hydrocarbon sector, has the potential to boost the economy in the region
over the next 25 years. The Chadian Doba Basin fields are estimated to
contain over 1bn barrels of oil. Gabon and Congo Brazzaville are both
under pressure to attract new oil investment. Equatorial
Guinea is already producing in excess of 200,000 b/d and looks set to
become the third biggest producer in sub-Saharan Africa by 2004. The tiny
archipelago of São Tomé and Príncipe is only just embarking upon the
development of its own oil industry now the dispute with Nigeria over
maritime territory has being resolved.
In the light of ongoing liberalization and foreign direct investment
drives in North Africa, it is necessary for investors to identify both the
risk factors influencing their potential investment projects. Not only
political risk factors, related to the historical and political framework
of the so-called Maghreb countries, Tunisia, Morocco and Mauritania, but
also economical and fiscal regulations will be of importance. This report
is designed to introduce you to the historical trends that have shaped the
countries that comprise the Maghreb and give you an insight into what
opportunities exist, with whom you will be dealing, what the macroeconomic
forecasts tell us and thus, what the risks are to deployed capital in the
petroleum sectors of the above mentioned countries.
Persian Gulf Oil: 2000 to 2010 Download
a table of contents and order form (PDF) This report considers foreign investment prospects in
seven Persian Gulf oil-producing countries in the period
between 2001 and 2010. It examines local oil resources, oil
development costs, oil development goals, political stability
and likely modalities for co-operation with foreign oil
companies. The countries examined are Iraq, Iran, Saudi
Arabia, Kuwait, the UAE, Qatar and Oman. The
report finds that Iran and Iraq will likely constitute the
preferred targets for foreign oil operations in the Persian
Gulf by 2010 - but only if the prevailing economic sanctions
against them can be removed. In 2010, East Asia will continue
to be the major market for Persian Gulf oil..It will be
followed by Europe. The report details the possibilities and
consequences of the construction of pipeline infrastructure
between new oil developments in Central Asia and southern Iran
on the one hand and the Mediterranean Sea on the other, the
Persian Gulf market share might well be higher in both East
Asia and Europe.
Oil
and Gas Opportunities in Libya Download
a table of contents and order form (PDF) This report has
been written as an update and accompaniment to the highly successful first
volume that was originally published in 1999. That edition followed the
suspension in April of that year of UN sanctions against Libya. Libyan
authorities and oil and gas officials have set out their vision for the
future development of the sector and, most importantly, the involvement of
foreign companies in rehabilitating and taking forward the country's
hydrocarbon industry. Libya's
strategic position and the European Union Libya is in the center of what
is expected to become the North African gas supply zone for the
demand-hungry European Union, which means there are exciting opportunities
ahead. The EU
represents the largest area for gas-fired power generation over the next
few decades and it will require increased gas supplies from North Africa
to meet this demand.
Four years after the
election of President Khatami, Iran's attitude to the rest of the world
has subtlety changed, a stance reciprocated in much of the rest of the
world. With stability and greater awareness of the need for economic
change, Iran's population of more than 60 million provides an attractive
market for a variety of industrial and consumer goods. Its strategic
position offers the cheapest commercial route for bringing Caspian oil to
the international market.
Iran Oil and Gas: The Emerging Giant

downstream petroleum industry; reviews the pricing opportunities in crude
oil and gas; describes the market potential of natural gas in relation to
Iran's strategic location; discusses the improved contractual terms and
the improved rate of return on investment Iran's PSC agreements; will
provide insight to petroleum companies that only those that have operated
in Iran have gained; and includes an exhibit of a typical joint venture
petroleum company set of by-laws.
Demand for oil and
gas resources is growing in Latin America. However, in this Region,
most Latin American countries are without sufficient capital to
finance the development of indigenous oil and gas reserves. Latin
America will need $180 - $240 billion to finance 3-4% growth per
year in oil and gas production through 2010. One problem is that low
internal savings’ rates have limited local capital markets.
Because of this, most of that funding must come from direct foreign
investment. The Latin American Oil, Gas and Power Report gives you
the ability to highlight the energy opportunities in the region and
to target your investments.
The Latin American
Oil, Gas and Power Report provides you with profiles of the oil,
gas and power industries of the leading energy exporters, as well as
the investment potential of, and interests of foreign investors in
the smaller economies of the region
The Report
provides the facts, the statistics and the analysis for participants
in the LNG business to evaluate prospects and opportunities and make
the right commercial decisions. As the international LNG
industry launches into a new phase of 5-10 years rapid expansion, it
is essential for all participants to keep their feet on the ground.
We all recognize that past working assumptions, rules of thumb and
cozy relationships have been undermined. On the one hand there is an
unprecedented surplus of gas reserves seeking markets. On the other
hand, the principal markets are being transformed by government
measures to liberalize and privatize both gas and electricity
supplies. All who wish to share profitably in the next decade of LNG
growth need to read and digest this report.
Global
LNG Trade is a truly comprehensive study of international
supply and use of Liquified Natural Gas today.
The
report finds in ten years, as the market increases to twice
today’s
size, one third of this growth will come from Japan, Korea and
Taiwan, which in total consume some 67% of the world’s LNG today.One quarter of the growth will come from the emerging markets
of India and China.The
remainder (about 45%) will come from growth in the European and
American LNG Markets, largely to meet demand for gas-fired power
generation. The report addresses a number of key commercial,
financial and technical issues which are essential considerations
for those seeking to participate in the development of LNG Projects.This report provides a detailed analysis of LNG supply
economics, prospects for developing new LNG projects, and in-depth
assessments of countries and companies involved, including
producers, importers, plant and terminal contractors, ship builders
and operators and equipment vendors.
Fischer-Tropsch
Gas to Liquids Report Download
a table of contents and order form (PDF) By
converting natural gas into liquid fuels, the technology greatly
reduces high transport costs which in the past has prevented its
access to distant markets. This technology is destined to provide an
important element in the future landscape of the energy industry.
Every major oil and gas company is now energetically participating
in further research and development of the technology. The Report
outlines the principal versions of the F-T GTL technology, describes
the contributions of the main players, and evaluates and discusses
the economic, commercial and financial factors affecting GTL. On the
basis of this analysis, the Fischer-Tropsch Gas-to-Liquids report
assesses the potential impacts of the new technology, not only on
the oil industry itself — both upstream and downstream, but also
on the issue of climate change and on worldwide geopolitical
relationships.
The gas directive issued by the European Commission in 1998 has
received differing levels of acceptance within the EU - some
countries have embraced market liberalization while others have
chosen to ignore it. Outside the EU, countries in central and
Eastern Europe have also begun reforming their domestic gas markets
to fall in-line with the directive. The
new strategic management report, The Outlook For Gas In Europe:
The markets start to open, looks at this changing market,
assessing the directive itself and it's future implications for gas
companies. Using country-by-country analysis, the report examines
the level of acceptance of the directive in each country and
evaluates the strategies used by the key players in each domestic
market. This report delivers critical insights into the future
direction of the European gas market.
