domestic gas demand outlook

• A carbon price corresponding to CRPS -5% could

see 1,000 PJ/a gas-for-powergen by 2030 …

… but in the absence of carbon pricing, gas-for-

powergen falls to 400 PJ/a in 2030

Why is domestic demand

collapsing?

• A Perfect Storm:

– Competing demand from LNG Projects • Driving rising gas prices

– Manufacturing industry declining • Strong A$; declining competitiveness

• Manufacturing closures affect direct gas demand and indirect gas demand (via electricity)

– NEM electricity demand falling • With gas-fired electricity generation most heavily affected

– C-tax low to zero; rising gas prices; low electricity pool prices; black & brown coal running hard (no Contract for Closure); RET-driven renewables keep coming in

• No new entrant base load plant before 2020

Contraction in the NEM

• Energy in the NEM turned the corner in 2008 – Sustained decline is without precedent in the history of the industry

– Energy reduction from 2008-09 to 2012-13 = 13,400 GWh (scheduled and semi-scheduled basis as generated)

– Equivalent to a 1,800 MW generator @ 85% capacity factor

• Why? – Weak manufacturing/strong A$; renewables (wind/roof top solar); demand

Where will new gas come

from? • Conventional:

– Bass Strait (Gippsland, Otway, Bass Basins) • eg Kipper/Tuna/Turrum; Halladale/Blackwatch; Rockhopper

• CSG – Queensland: best of the resource is LNG committed; marginal

production economics???

– NSW: major resources but little recent progress – bogged down with policy/approvals issues and public opposition to development

• Missed the boat?

• “Unconventional” (Shale gas, tight gas) – For EA most promising is Cooper Basin tight/shale gas

• Encouraging technical results

• Large in situ resource established – Some “wet gas”

• Early commercialisation under way (eg Moomba 191)

• Cost structure/economics?? No cheap gas without associated liquids

Will a “price bubble” emerge? How high? How long?

Page 22: Paul Balfe, ACIL Allen Consulting: Reviewing Gas Demand and Supply Outlook for Eastern Australia

How would a supply/price

squeeze affect the market?

• Supply shortages – In the absence of new sources of gas supply, there is a risk that current

levels of domestic gas consumption will not be able to be maintained in the future

• Prices rise – effectively rationing demand to those customers best able to pay higher

prices

• Loss of gas-consuming industry – Price sensitive customers will exit the market

» “Demand destruction” will bring consumption into line with available supply

» Some of the exiting customers will not return, even if supply recovers and prices moderate

– Worst-affected will be large industrial consumers, esp. feedstock users (chemicals, fertiliser)

• Less gas-fired electricity generation – Reduced dispatch of gas-fired electricity generators will see increased

dispatch of existing coal-fired plant

East Coast Gas Outlook Conference 22

Page 23: Paul Balfe, ACIL Allen Consulting: Reviewing Gas Demand and Supply Outlook for Eastern Australia

Response options • Only two fundamental

options: – Increase Supply OR

Reduce Demand

• LNG export demand is effectively locked in – LNG projects have long-

term offtake contracts with binding delivery commitments

• The only effective response options are those aimed at stimulating supply – But supply response takes

time

East Coast Gas Outlook Conference 23

Demand is effectively

locked in …

QCLNG Project – June 2013

Page 24: Paul Balfe, ACIL Allen Consulting: Reviewing Gas Demand and Supply Outlook for Eastern Australia

Issues for gas users

• Supply risk – Risk to adequacy of supply greatest during

the period of LNG commissioning & ramp-up 2014 – 2016

– Risk around future performance of CSG fields

• Price risk – Prices trending upward now

– “Price bubble”?

• Re-contracting risk – Lock in now or later? For how long? Cost

of flexibility?
