Iraq exports first natural gas shipment in its history

AP + Gulf News + NewBase

Iraq on Sunday exported the first shipment of natural gas in its history, a key development for the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) member struggling to feed a cash-strapped economy.

The move revives a long-sought ambition by Iraq to be a gas exporter, thanks to a joint venture with Anglo-Dutch Royal Dutch Shell PLC and Japan’s Mitsubishi Corp.

Iraq first planned to begin exporting gas in the late 1970s, but that timeline was delayed by the Iraq-Iran war when Iraqi export ports were bombed.

A Panama-flagged gas carrier sailed on Sunday afternoon from Iraq’s southern port of Umm Qasr on the Arabian Gulf with a cargo of about 10,000 standard cubic feet of gas in the form of condensates, Oil Ministry spokesman Assem Jihad said.

Jihad wouldn’t reveal how much the cargo was worth or the buyer, but he added that the next cargo will be shipped by the end of this month.

In November 2011, Iraq signed a $17 billion (Dh62 billion) deal to form a joint venture to gather, process and market gas from three oilfields in the oil-rich province of Basra. The fields are the




17.8 billion-barrel Rumaila, the 4.1 billion barrel Zubair field, and the 8.6 billion barrel West Qurna Stage 1.

In the 25-year joint venture, called the Basrah Gas Company, Iraq holds a 51 per cent stake and Royal Dutch Shell has 44 per cent, with the remaining 5 per cent for Mitsubishi.

According the International Energy Agency, Iraq has estimated natural gas reserves of 112 trillion cubic meters, making it the 11th largest in the world. The inauguration of Iraq’s gas industry is meant to boost the coffers of a government badly in need of cash .

Iraq holds the world’s fourth-largest oil reserves, some 143.1 billion barrels, and oil revenues make up nearly 95 per cent of its budget.

Like other oil-reliant countries, Iraq’s economy has been severely hit by plummeting oil prices since 2014, plunging the nation into an acute financial crisis despite record crude oil export levels. The crisis has forced Prime Minister Haidar Al Abadi’s government to introduce austerity measures by eliminating government posts, merging some ministries, halting spending on construction projects and imposing new taxes to pay for civil servants and fund the military.

According to Oil Ministry figures, Iraq exported an average of 3.225 million barrels a day in February 2016, far below levels planned for this year’s budget.

Last month exports grossed about $2.2 billion, based on an average price of about $23 per barrel.

Iraq’s 2016 budget is based on an expected price of $45 per barrel with a daily export capacity of 3.6 million. As a result, the nearly 106 trillion Iraqi dinar (about $89.7 billion, Dh351 billion) budget has a deficit of over 24 trillion dinars (about $20.5 billion). Officials plan to cover the shortfall with loans from local and international lenders.




UAE: Adnoc, OMV and Occidental to explore offshore Abu Dhabi oil and gas fields.. The National - Anthony McAuley

The Vienna-based oil company that is 25 per cent owned by the Abu Dhabi energy investment vehicle Ipic said it had arranged a four-year seismic, drilling and engineering work programme to explore and appraise oil and gasfields in the North-West Offshore Abu Dhabi area that includes the Ghasha and Hail blocks.

The company said it had won the contract from Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) to work in conjunction with Occidental Petroleum, which this time last year was awarded an evaluation

contract for the same areas.

Adnoc said at the time that it and Occidental would spend up to US$500 million to run 3D seismic surveys, drilling appraisal wells and engineering studies by 2017 to evaluate the area’s prospects.There was no mention by any of the parties last year or in yesterday’s statement about how expenditure would be split, but Saoud Mubarak Al Mehairbi, Adnoc’s exploration manager,




had said: “Oxy will provide manpower support in form of ‘secondees’ … and will organise a number of training courses to provide human resources development opportunities."

Similarly, OMV’s statement yesterday said: “OMV and Occidental will also contribute with seconded personnel and technical expertise for the evaluation activities." OMV’s chief executive, Rainer Seele, said: “This cooperation will further strengthen our already excellent partnership with Adnoc," which includes the appraisal of the sour gas Shuwaihat field.

The exploration and production side of the industry has been severely hit by the oil price crash in the past 18 months, but the OMV spokesman Robert Lechner said the Abu Dhabi opportunity was too good to pass up. “Even in a low oil price environment it makes sense for OMV to further develop assets in strategically important regions such as the UAE," he said.

Occidental’s $10 billion Al Hosn sour gas project produced its first gas last year, and its outgoing chief, Stephen Chazen, estimated last year that its share of the project would generate between $7.5bn and $12bn in cash over its 25-year life.

Nevertheless, he has consistently said the company would be open to selling some or all of its stake, and the company has long-standing plans to reduce exposure to the Middle East in general. OMV has struggled with stagnant production and only recently stabilised its earnings. Previous geological evaluations have associated the Hair Dalmah and Ghasha structures with natural gas rather than oil prospectively.




Oman: BP kicks off appraisal of Amin reservoir in Block 61 Oman Observer - Conrad Prabhu

BP Oman has commenced appraisal work targeting the Amin reservoir in the northern area of its Block 61 licence in central Oman, a move that together with its Khazzan tight gas development (Phase 1) and Block Extension, could see the energy major producing volumes equating to around half of the Sultanate’s current combined gas output by 2020.

According to BP Country Manager Yousuf al Ojaili (pictured), appraisal work on the Amin reservoir began around two weeks ago as part of efforts to test the performance of the reservoir, as well as appraise volumes and gas quality.

At the same time, a developmental plan is under formulation covering the Block Extension in the south and west of the concession, a Heads of Agreement (HoA) for which was inked recently with the Omani government, he said.

Speaking at the annual media briefing hosted by the Ministry of Oil & Gas, Al Ojaili said the two initiatives along with the ongoing Phase 1 Khazzan development could see BP Oman — a partnership of BP (60 per cent) and Oman Oil E&P (40 per cent) — producing around 1.5 billion cubic feet (bcf) of gas per day by the year 2020.

“Khazzan, as we all know, is the single largest project currently under execution in the Sultanate, targeting very tight natural gas reservoirs with condensate. Phase 1 is targeted to add around 30 per cent to domestic gas production.

If we combine the Block Extension phase, this contribution goes up to 40 per cent, and we succeed in the Northern Area appraisal, then we will be delivering gas equivalent to more than 50 per cent of current domestic production,” he stated.

Overall project completion has crossed the 65 per cent mark, with around 31 wells drilled so far, the Country

Manager said. The well count is projected to rise to 50 wells when Phase 1 commissioning commences next year, he stated.

Construction work on a giant complex of facilities at Khazzan has reached the 60-65-per cent mark, said Al Ojaili, with an army of around 11,000 workers focused on delivering a Central Processing Facility with two gas processing trains and condensate processing facilities, along with an expansive gas gathering system, power generation system, water treatment plant and road network, among other components.




UAE: Dewa power stations switching lighting to LED to save The National - LeAnne Graves

The switch to energy saving lighting by Dewa at two power stations in Dubai has cut power consumption by nearly 75 per cent.

Etihad Esco, the agency responsible for implementing energy efficiency programmes in Dubai, replaced 8,500 lighting fixtures with high efficiency LED lights in Dubai Electricity and Water Authority’s Jebel Ali and Al Awir plants.

The project has resulted in annual savings of Dh6.6 million based on commercial electricity rates in the emirate, a statement said.

“This pioneering project in Dubai demonstrates the viability and efficiency of the LED technology in achieving energy savings while ensuring better light quality," said Stephane le Gentil, chief executive of Etihad Esco.

The company said that Dewa’s investment of Dh21m would be paid back through savings in less than three-and-a-half years. Mr le Gentil added that the biggest impact would be the large reduction in energy consumption while reducing the maintenance budget for lighting to zero.

Olav Scholte, senior marketing manager at Philips Lighting, said at a conference in Dubai last week that there would be a 70 per cent increase in lighting points globally by 2050 as a result of

population growth and increasing urbanisation.

Lighting accounted for 19 per cent of the world’s total electricity consumption, but in the Middle East region, that figure is slightly higher at 22 per cent, according to Alfonso D’Andretta, Philips Lighting head of systems centre in Dubai.

“Importance of energy efficient LED lighting solutions is getting more

crucial every day for a more sustainable standard of living," he said.

ETIHAD ESCO AND DEWA SIGN TOGETHER AED 37 MILLION ENERGY SAVINGS PERFORMANCE CONTRACTS

14 January, 2015, Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Guaranteed energy savings of 31% to be generated in

DEWA-owned buildings and 68% in guaranteed energy savings in lighting upgrades




Indonesia's Expects Reduced LNG exports in Coming Years

Indonesia’s Badak LNG expects continuous decline in output for next few years due to insufficient supply from depleting gas fields, Jakarta Post reported Friday. Badak LNG is one of country’s biggest LNG plants. Output is expected to be 152 LNG cargoes this year, down from 182 cargoes last year.

“This is because of a predicted decline in output from Mahakam block, which will be quite significant. We will see additional input from Bangka field, but [not by much],” company’s president director Salis Aprilian was quoted by the newspaper as saying. The plant currently operates four trains, out of total eight. Plan is to shut down another plant by the middle of this year, Jakarta Post added. Unless production from Mahakam is increased or at least maintained, Badak will need to shut down another train in the near future. It is likely to operate with only two LNG trains by 2019.




Kenya and Uganda presidents to meet oil companies over crude pipeline Source: Reuters

Kenya and Uganda's presidents and oil company executives will meet on Monday to hold further discussions on a route for a pipeline to transport the two countries' oil, the Kenyan president's spokesman said on Sunday. Resolving the pipeline route is crucial to helping oil companies involved in Uganda and Kenya to make final investment decisions on developing oil fields.

'President Uhuru Kenyatta will host Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni tomorrow ... They will discuss the construction of the Uganda-Kenya oil pipeline, a key plank of the Northern Corridor Infrastructure Projects,' Manoah Esipisu said in a statement.

Last week, Tanzania's presidency said that Total, which has a stake in Uganda's crude oil discoveries, had set aside $4 billion to build a pipeline from Ugandan fields to the Tanzanian coast and that Tanzania wants the three-year construction schedule shortened. The comments raised the stakes in a competition to secure the pipeline with Kenya, which wants Ugandan oil to be exported across its territory and wants the pipeline to link up with Kenyan oil fields.

'Kenya favours the northern route through Lokichar, because as part of the Lamu Port, South Sudan, Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) project, it would transform infrastructure and the way of life of

the people in the towns and counties across its path,' Esipisu said. He added that officials from Tullow Oil, Total and China's CNOOC had been invited to the meeting. Total has previously raised security concerns about the Kenyan route. Sections of the Kenyan pipeline could run near Somalia, from where militants have launched attacks on Kenya. But industry officials have also said that connecting Kenyan fields, which have estimated total recoverable reserves of 600 million barrels, with those in Uganda would make the pipeline project cheaper because costs would be shared.

Both Kenya and Uganda, which the government says has a total 6 billion barrels of crude, have yet to begin commercial production.

Tullow Oil and partner Africa Oil first struck oil in Lokichar in northwest Kenya in 2012. Africa Oil and Tullow were 50-50 partners in Blocks 10 BB and 13T, where the discoveries were made. Africa Oil has since sold a 25 percent stake in those blocks to A.P. Moller-Maersk.




India's thirst for gasoline helps spur global oil demand - John Kemp REUTERS - BY JOHN KEMP

India's gasoline consumption is surging and has become one of the fastest-growing components of global oil demand.

With other parts of the global economy struggling, continued growth in gasoline consumption in India, together with the United States and China, has become one of the most important indicators for global oil prices.

Saudi Arabia and other members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries are relying on India's continued consumption growth to help absorb excess crude supply and rebalance the oil market in 2016/17.

India's drivers used 500,000 barrels per day of motor spirit in the 12 months ending in February 2016, according to the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell of the Ministry of Petroleum. Gasoline consumption rose by more than 60,000 bpd in 2015 compared with an increase of 240,000 bpd in the (much larger) U.S. market.

Gasoline still accounts for a relatively small share, about 12 percent, of refined petroleum products consumed in India. The corresponding figure for the United States is 47 percent.

But gasoline consumption has been growing much faster than petroleum demand as a whole as the country becomes more affluent and the expanding urban middle class become car owners.




Gasoline consumption has grown at a compound annual rate of 11 percent over the last five years compared with 5 percent for other products . Gasoline consumption growth surged to around 14 percent over the last year compared with 9 percent for other products.

Gasoline consumption has doubled since the start of 2009 and quadrupled since 1999, according to India's Central Statistics Office. India's growing number of drivers provided the third-largest increase in gasoline consumption anywhere in the world last year after the United States and China.

The Ministry of Petroleum predicts gasoline consumption will increase further to almost 800,000 bpd by 2021/2022 . Since actual consumption is already running ahead of the five-year plan the eventual outturn could be higher.

Sales of passenger cars and utility vehicles are expected to grow by as much as 12 percent in 2016/17 up from 6 percent in 2015/16, which translates to around 230,000 new vehicles hitting the roads every month.

The government plans to spend around $14 billion in the next fiscal year upgrading the country's road network ("India in the driver's seat as fuel demand roars at fastest rate ever", Reuters, March 17).

Consumption of other fuels and lubricants is also growing, although not as fast as the super-charged gasoline market. India's total petroleum consumption has increased by around 340,000 bpd over the last year, with gasoline accounting for more than 18 percent of the increase.

India's fuel markets have become one of the most important sources of global oil demand growth .India accounted for more than one barrel in every six of extra oil demand reported in 2015, according to estimates prepared by the International Energy Agency.

Total consumption of petroleum products has doubled from 2 million bpd in 1998/99 to almost 4 million bpd in 2015/16. India's oil ministry predicts consumption will hit 5.4 million bpd by 2021/22.

Crude oil falls for 2nd day as U.S. oil rig count rises Reuters + NewBase

Crude oil slid for a second session on Monday, falling further from last week's 2016 highs on concerns over a supply glut after the U.S rig count rose for the first time since December.

U.S. energy firms last week added one oil rig after 12 weeks of cuts, according to data by industry firm Baker Hughes. The addition, coming after oil rigs had fallen by two-thirds over the past year to 2009 lows, showed the fall in crude drilling stabilising after a 50 percent price rally since February.

U.S. crude fell 40 cents, or 1.0 percent, to $39.04 a barrel by 0001 GMT. The market on Friday climbed to $41.20 a barrel, its highest since early December, before losing ground to settle down nearly 2 percent at $39.44.

Over the past two months, prices have rallied after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) floated the idea of a production freeze at January's levels. Brent crude's front-month contract was down 12 cents at $41.08. It hit a high of $42.54 a barrel in the last session.

"The rebound in crude oil prices in the last month appears to have stabilized the number of rigs at work in the U.S. shale sector," ANZ said in a note to clients. "After falling for six consecutive months, Baker Hughes data showed U.S. oil rig counts increased by one to 387."

Global oversupply in oil had knocked crude prices down from mid-2014 highs above $100 a barrel to 12-year lows earlier this year, taking Brent to around $27 and U.S. crude to about $26.

The combination of declining oil output, smaller crude stockpile builds and surging gasoline consumption in the United States also helped the recovery, although some analysts said the rally had been overdone.

Why the Global Oil Glut Might Not Fill Swimming Pools After All Bloomberg - Grant Smith

One of the warning lights that there’s too much oil around is no longer flashing, adding to signs

that global crude markets are finally on the mend.

Just a month ago, oil traders were weighing up whether to park unwanted crude aboard tankers while BP Plc Chief Executive Officer Bob Dudley joked that swimming pools might be needed to hold the excess. Yet instead of offering bumper profits, as in previous market gluts, stockpiling barrels on ships would result in a financial loss, just as it has done for the past six months, in a sign the current surplus may not be as big as feared.

Declining U.S. oil production coupled with disruptions in OPEC members Iraq and Nigeria have helped revive crude to $40 a barrel, leading the International Energy Agency to conclude that the worst of the rout is over. Contrary to expectations that tankers would be needed, onshore storage hasn’t been exhausted, according to Torbjoern Kjus, an analyst at DNA ASA in Oslo.

“There’s less going into floating storage rather than more in the past few months,” Kjus said. “Fundamentals are gradually improving. The worst of the price rout was just sentiment.”

A crude trader would lose about $7.6 million if they wanted to park 2 million barrels at sea for six months, more than double the loss they would have swallowed in February, according to data compiled by Bloomberg from E.A. Gibson Shipbrokers Ltd. and oil futures exchanges.

The losses from storage partly reflect that hiring a tanker has become more expensive amid robust demand for crude. Day rates on the industry’s benchmark route -- to Japan from Saudi Arabia -- advanced to $66,641, according to data from the Baltic Exchange in London. That’s about 30 percent more than a month earlier. In dollars-per-barrel terms, the cost of using the ships to store for six months advanced to $6.80 from $6.16 over the month, E.A. Gibson estimates.




Yet the economics also give an insight into the oil market itself. Storing crude at sea becomes profitable when the spread between the current price and longer-term ones, known as contango, is wide enough to cover the cost of hiring a tanker.

The gap between first and seven-month futures narrowed to $2.30 a barrel on Friday, the lowest level since July, down from $5.07 a barrel on Jan. 29. It’s simply “nowhere near” enough to cover the cost, Ted Petrone, vice chairman of tanker operator Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. said on March 3.

It’s a distinct shift from the market conditions prevalent a month ago, when Chris Bake, a senior executive at Vitol Group, said that with primary storage sites “pretty much full,” it was “probably a good time to be a vessel owner.”

The biggest change between now and a month ago is oil supply that’s been unexpectedly curbed. One pipeline linking the the northern part of Iraq to the Mediterranean Sea halted in mid-February, while another from Nigeria was hit by sabotage. U.S. oil production is threatening to drop below 9 million barrels a day for the first time since November 2014.

From those three locations alone, combined output was restricted by about 1 million barrels a day compared with a month earlier, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That’s about half the global surplus. Since then, flow from Iraq’s

Trading houses including Vitol, Koch Supply & Trading LP and Glencore Plc, plus the in-house trading arms of BP and Royal Dutch Shell Plc, collectively made billions of dollars from 2008 to 2009 stockpiling crude at sea. At the peak of the floating storage spree, sheltered anchorages in the North Sea, the Persian Gulf, the Singapore Strait and off South Africa each hosted dozens of supertankers.

The receding risk that storage tanks will overflow encouraged Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in its view that the worst for oil prices is over. “Your probability of having a containment issue, of blowing out storage, is starting to decline,” Jeff Currie, New York-based head of commodities research at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said in a Bloomberg Television interview.

Billions $ Loss for Generators as a Million U.S. Roofs Get Solar Bloomberg - Jonathan Crawford

Rooftop solar is casting a $2 billion shadow over power generators across the eastern U.S.

With more than a million U.S. houses set to have solar panels by the end of next month, grid managers serving the eastern U.S. plan to cut the amount of electricity they buy from conventional plants by about 1,400 megawatts, starting in 2019, according to industry consultant ICF International Inc. That’s enough juice to power about 780,000 households.

The result could be as much as $2 billion in lost revenue for generators that are already reeling from lower demand, tight environmental regulation and depressed prices. Power producers including NRG Energy Inc. warn that the growing reliance on solar may curtail investment in conventional power plants, threatening the reliability of the U.S. electricity system. That’s already happened in Germany, they say, citing plans by EON SE and RWE AG to scrap existing or planned plants.

The decision “creates a risk you are going to repeat in the United States what’s happening in Germany,” said George Katsigiannakis, a principal at Fairfax, Virginia-based ICF, in a telephone




interview. “The result of that is going to be that generating resources, reliable generating resources, don’t make their money and they retire.”

Under "Energiewende," a German transition plan designed to lessen fossil fuel use, about 30 percent of the country’s power is now generated by renewables, sending power prices to their lowest levels in more than a decade. That spurred EON’s Uniper unit to seek closure of two gas-fired units in Bavaria, and Essen-based RWE to scrap plans to start up its coal-fired Westfalen-D plant, valued at 1 billion euro ($1.1 billion).

While EON didn’t respond to a phone call and e-mail seeking comment, an RWE spokeswoman said “nearly all of our stations are in the red” as a result of low prices.

“The considerable drop in wholesale electricity prices and the difficult political environment are weighing on us,” Vera Buecker said in an e-mailed response to questions. “Many power plants are hardly being used and cannot cover their costs.”

In the U.S., power availability is sold at auctions held by the operators of regional power grids such as PJM Interconnection LLC, which serves more than 61 million customers ranging from Washington to Chicago, and ISO New England Inc., which manages a six-state system with 7.1 million customers. The grids estimate their power needs to meet peak demand, then gather supply commitments from generators who bid to sell their power.

This year, for the first time, PJM and New England have included solar growth in their estimates for 2019, spurring a national debate on how the nation’s electrical system will be financed and managed moving forward.




Falling Revenue

The new grid estimates come as generators have been battling a toxic combination of low prices and increasingly stringent environmental rules. Wholesale power prices are largely determined by the cost of natural gas, now trading at a 17-year low. The newly approved federal rules, estimated to cost the industry $9.6 billion per year, now mandate the use of expensive "scrubbers" to curb emissions.

Last year, revenue from electricity sales in the U.S. fell 1.3 percent to $388.1 billion, and the industry retired almost 18,000 megawatts of generation, according to the Energy Information Administration. A decision by the grids to factor in power from rooftop solar arrays in the future would be "a double punch on the conventional power plants," Katsigiannakis said.

Abe Silverman, the assistant general counsel at NRG Energy, says the grids are trading reliability for low costs by including weather-sensitive resources such as wind and solar.

If the grids are allowed “to suppress prices below economically sustainable levels, the region will experience premature resource retirement and the inability to attract new" power plants, Silverman said in an e-mailed response to questions. Loss Breakdown

The $2 billion in losses identified by ICF International breaks down three ways for 2019. Generators stand to lose as much as $716 million in New England’s auction, where demand for conventionally-generated power has been cut by 390 megawatts, according to ICF. It’s a figure that takes into account both the amount of new solar expected to be in use by 2019, and estimates for the power lost when the sun isn’t shining. At the PJM auction, the loss is about $754 million, and in New York it’s about $523 million.

"It’s certainly possible to see rooftop solar growing to a level where it becomes a serious issue for regulated utilities and merchant generators," said Swami Venkataraman, vice president and senior credit officer for infrastructure finance at Moody’s Investors Service Inc. "It compounds all the other issues if solar is also going to cause demand to go down."

To be sure, there is another side to the issue. Rooftop solar has been a bonus for consumers. Last year, the average solar panel system generated enough electricity to meet the needs of 80 percent of the average household’s electricity, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association. At the same time, utilities in about 30 states pay for the exports at the full retail price of electricity, aiding their rapid deployment.

The practice, known as net metering, is being fought by power providers, who say customers should pay more for the costs of maintaining the overall electrical system.

“This is only going to get more sizable in the future, because this is real capacity,” said Sanem Sergici, a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based analyst at the Brattle Group Inc., in a telephone interview. “The bottom line is that most of the grid operators are now really relying on these distributed energy resources as long-term reliable resources.”

Spot wholesale power for PJM’s benchmark West hub fell $5.11, or 18 percent, to average $23.53 a megawatt-hour during the hour ended at 1 p.m. local time Wednesday from the same time a day earlier, grid data compiled by Bloomberg showed.
