CERI Crude Oil Report Editorial Committee: Ganesh Doluweera, Paul Kralovic, Dinara Millington, Megan Murphy, Allan Fogwill About CERI The Canadian Energy Research Institute is an independent, not-for-profit research establishment created through a partnership of industry, academia, and government in 1975. Our mission is to provide relevant, independent, objective economic research in energy and related environmental issues. For more information about CERI, please visit our website at www.ceri.ca or contact us at [email protected].
However, more recently with the rise of the US shale and tight oil production, analysis suggests that OPEC power is eroding. US shale production is replacing OPEC production cuts almost barrel for barrel (Figure 2), highlighting the ineffectiveness of cuts on oil price ; this is expected to persist until the second quarter of 2018.
Figure 1: Evolution of OPEC and Oil Market Events
Is OPEC Losing its Mojo? Alpha Sow On November 30, 2016, in Vienna, OPEC and other oil producers led by Russia (NOPEC_R9+) reached an agreement to cut production totaling 1.81 million barrels per day (MMbpd) (1.2 MMbpd for OPEC and 0.6 MMbpd for NOPEC_R9+) for the first half of 2017. This was the first production cut in almost a decade, and the deal made among agreed producers was unforeseen to say the least, as up to that point, Saudi Arabia and other OPEC members were defending their global market share and pump-at-will strategy, which was only setting the oil price lower as more oil came onto an already oversupplied market. The WTI price rose by more than 9% in November following the deal announcement. A few months later, during the 172nd OPEC Ministerial Conference on May 25, the November agreement was extended for nine more months, pushing WTI higher, but only by 2%. This article explores the effectiveness of the cartel’s production cut strategy on the oil price and describes future alternative strategies. Since its inception in September 1960, OPEC’s mission has been “…to coordinate and unify the petroleum policies of its Member Countries and ensure the stabilization of oil markets in order to secure an efficient, economic and regular supply of petroleum to consumers, a steady income to producers and a fair return on capital for those investing in the petroleum industry.”2 In the past, the cartel has been associated with strong oil market power that was able to drive oil price changes in the world. Looking back, it had been successful at regulating oil supply from its members to maintain a certain price level. Figure 1 shows the organization’s majors’ market intervention since its inception in 1960.

Even though a cartel is a “group of producers regulating oil supply,” recently, it failed to achieve the organization’s mission. Differences in geopolitical agenda aside, an internal structure shows a heterogeneous group where interests are sometimes misaligned. The fiscal break-even prices capture some of those differences (Figure 3). Figure 3: OPEC and Non-OPEC Members Fiscal Breakeven, 2017

Combined, these economic and political factors explain the lack of compliance and the short longevity of some OPEC agreements and the overall mistrust in the cartel. New research from Duke University, KU Leuven and UCLA J. Asker et al. (2017) suggested, “Over the course of 34 years (1970-2014), the oil industry cartel not only drove up the cost of crude oil production by some $160 billion,3 it also helped change the direction of the oil industry.” Its epitome was OPEC market power and research placed the organization at the center of oil commodity price dynamics. Nonetheless, BP’s June 2017 Statistical Review echoed the declaration of Saudi Energy Minister Khalid Al-Falih at CERAWeek in March 2017: “OPEC remains an important catalyst to the stability and sustainability of the market…. But history has also demonstrated that intervention in response to structural shifts is largely ineffective. That’s why Saudi Arabia does not support OPEC intervening to alleviate the impacts of long-term structural imbalances, as opposed to addressing short-term aberrations….” In short, OPEC can
handle temporary shocks by increasing or cutting production but is limited in the long-term trends. The structural shift that Mr. Al-Falih was referring to is the US shale boom that constitutes oil supply characterized by favorable economics due to high productivity and short production cycles such as manufacturing operations. The rapid growth shook pillars on which OPEC builds its supply management strategy. This situation could be contrasted with when high-cost producers like Alaska and Norway came online. Today, oil responds to a new paradigm of an abundance of relatively inexpensive resources, where oil price does not increase over time relative to other goods, and an increase of price responsiveness of global oil supply is dampening price volatility. Any increase in oil price is a signal for US shale producers to ramp up their drilling and production. Figure 4 shows a strong correlation between rig counts and WTI above 90%. A recent survey from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas (Dallas FED) shows oil producers need only a $46 to $55 per barrel oil price to drill a new well profitably. The most dynamic shale plays such as the Permian, SCOOP/STACK and Eagle Ford are both at the lower end. Rig counts are projected to increase for the foreseeable future.

However, one of the main hurdles of the US shale industry is its financing model. It relies on Reserve Based Lending – securing loans by the revenue stream that the borrower has from oil exploitation to reduce the cost of financing. Azar A. (SIPA, 2017) noted that for E&Ps rated between B and CCC–, “a 2 percent increase in London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR), coupled with 1.5 percent higher credit spreads, would raise their interest expense per dollar borrowed by 30 percent.” At this pace, if the Dallas FED continues to hike the interest rate by 50 basis

points per year, LIBOR will be above 2 percent by the end of 2018. Hence, that will erode all the production efficiencies gained in the last couple of years and potentially increase bankruptcies, as happened in the second quarter of 2016. Combine the credit channel and increased production costs and we have clouds hanging over the bright future of US tight oil. Figure 5 illustrates that crude oversupply will persist in the coming quarters. Most of non-OPEC supply will come from the United States (0.70 MMbpd in 2017, 1.117 MMbpd in 2018), followed by Canada (0.16 MMbpd in 2017 and 2018), Brazil, and Kazakhstan. A decrease of OPEC surplus crude oil production capacity is expected in 2018 at 1.42 MMbpd against 2.11 MMbpd a year earlier. Figure 5: World Liquid Fuels Production and Consumption Balance
Source: EIA Short-Term Energy Outlook, September 2017
The looming and persistent oil oversupply for the coming quarters is already being internalized by the organization. A diplomatic ballet is ongoing for an extension of the production cut until mid-2018. The recent Expo 2017 Astana held in Kazakhstan on September 10th was an opportunity for an informal meeting where Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Kazakhstan and Russia showed positive signs that the cut extension will hold. This was followed up by the Nigerian official's declaration “… to exit the cut exemption between now and March.” However, Libya will probably be excused because of the recent re-emergence of ISIS in central and south Libya last month foreshadowing security uncertainties. Compliance for an extended production cut is expected among Saudi Arabia, UAE, Angola, Venezuela and Gabon. Furthermore, the largest OPEC producer, Saudi Arabia with more than 30%4 of OPEC production, is planning on issuing an Initial Public Offering (IPO) of its national company Saudi Aramco estimated at $2 trillion, and is very motivated to further cut and sustain oil prices close
to the $60 per barrel range.5 Combined, all these factors do not guarantee an increase of oil price at a level that matches the OPEC fiscal breakeven price. OPEC could explore other strategies. Supply Disruptions Many OPEC members are subject to political risks that might disrupt the supply. Since July 2013, the unplanned supply disruptions in global crude markets amounted to above 2 MMbpd; it skyrocketed to 3.65 MMbpd in May 2016 before falling under 2 MMbpd in June 2017. OPEC alone accounted for more than 50% of the disruptions. The following countries – Venezuela, Nigeria, Iraq and Libya – are serious candidates for supply disruption due to political and security risks. Unexpected outages can have a significant influence on oil prices depending on how quickly it occurs and for how long. Monitoring Oil Exports Rather than Deepening Production Cuts The actual OPEC strategy is based on production quotas, but some countries, despite production cuts, are selling more oil in the market by reducing its domestic consumption or depleting its storage. Saudi Arabia has already reduced its exports to 6.66 MMbpd in August compared to over 7 MMbpd a month earlier. The leads from both sides – Saudi Arabia (OPEC) and Russia (NOPEC_R9+) – disclosed a plan to cut exports and ask others to do the same according to Kpler, a UK-based firm monitoring oil exports. OPEC’s August exports were down by 639,000 bpd courtesy of Saudi Arabia and UAE; Algeria, Angola, Iran and Kuwait increased their exports for the same timeframe. Monitoring exports rather than production is a big shift in the cartel’s strategy that might encounter challenges in implementation and the cooperation of both OPEC and NOPEC_R9+ members. Nevertheless, shifting tides are eroding OPEC market power. The cartel’s ability to face the US shale boom is compromised by competing goals: restoring market power and optimizing immediate gains in the time that marks a structural and long-term change in the market that even OPEC might not be able to handle.

B1: World Petroleum Supply and Demand Balance (million barrels per day)
Notes: 1. Totals for OECD and non-OECD supply include net refining gains; specific regions/groupings within each do not. 2. OPEC demand is an estimate based on
historical annual data. 3. Balance for World equals global stockbuilds (+) and stockdraws (-) for crude oil and petroleum products and miscellaneous gains and loss-
es. Regional surpluses (+) and deficits (-) are balanced through net-imports and stock changes in the short-term, and net-imports in the longer term. Supply includes
crude oil, condensates, NGLs, oil from non-conventional sources and processing gains. Demand is for petroleum products.

C1: US Petroleum Supply and Demand Balance (million barrels per day)
Notes: 1. Does not balance because of unaccounted for crude oil. Regional surpluses (+) and deficits (-) are balanced through net-imports/transfers and stock chang-
es in the short-term, and net-imports/transfers in the longer term. 2. As of most recent month. Supply includes crude oil, condensates, NGLs, oil from non-
conventional sources and processing gains. Demand is for petroleum products. Source: EIA Petroleum Supply Monthly.

Geographical Specifications
1. The World: OECD is comprised of countries from three regions: North America (Canada, Mexico, US); Europe (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Slovak
Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, UK); and Asia-Pacific (Australia, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea). OPEC is comprised of Persian Gulf (Iran,
Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates) and non-Persian Gulf countries (Algeria, Indonesia, Libya, Nigeria, Venezuela). Non-OECD is
comprised of countries from three regions: Former Soviet Union (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kirghizstan, Moldova, Russia,
Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan); Asia (including non-OECD
Oceania); and non-Asia (Africa, Middle East, Latin America, and non-
OECD Europe). 2. United States: East (PADD I) – New England
(Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island,
Vermont); Central Atlantic (Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia) and Lower Atlantic (Florida,
Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia). Mid
-West (PADD II) – Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South
Dakota, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. South-Central (PADD III) – Alabama,
Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas. North-West
(PADD IV) – Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming. West
(PADD V) – Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon,
Washington.
3. Canada: East is comprised of Ontario, Manitoba, Quebec and the
Maritime provinces (New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova
Scotia, and Prince Edward Island). West is comprised of Alberta, British
Columbia, Saskatchewan and the northern territories (NorthWest
Territories, Nunavuut, and Yukon).
Additional Notes
1. Petroleum and oil refer to crude oil and natural gas liquids (NGLs),
whereas crude oil refers to its namesake and field condensates.
Condensates derived from natural gas processing plants are classified as
NGLs. 2. The spot price is for immediate delivery of crude oil or refined
products at a specific location. Spot transactions are generally on a cargo
by cargo basis. In contrast, a futures price is for delivery of a specified
quantity of a commodity at a specified time and place in the future. 3.
Crude oil sold Free-On-Board (FOB) is made available to the buyer at the
loading port at a particular time, with transportation and insurance the
responsibility of the buyer. Crude oil sold Cost-Insurance-Freight (CIF) is
priced at a major destination point, with the seller responsible for the
transportation and insurance to that point. A “Delivered” transaction is
similar to a CIF transaction, except the buyer in the former pays based on the quantity and quality ascertained at the unloading port, whereas in a CIF
transaction, the buyer accepts the quantity and quality as determined at the loading port. 4. Processing gain is the volume of which refinery output is
greater than crude oil inputs. The difference is due to the processing of crude oil products, which in total have a lower specific gravity than crude oil. 5.
Unaccounted for crude oil reconciles the difference between crude input to refineries and the sum of domestic production, net imports/exports, stock
changes and documented losses (in the U.S.). 6. Totals may not equal the sum of their parts in the statistical tables due to rounding.
