DESCRIPTION
At the 2012 Oil & Money Conference, energy experts heard from Qatar Petroleum International's CEO, Nasser Al-Jaidah discuss his opinions on the impacts of unconventional oil and gas on IOCs and NOCs relationships. This presentation explores how unconventional oil and gas can have an impact on IOCs and NOCs as well as the benefits to these relationships.TRANSCRIPT
Oil & Money Conference 13-14 November 2012 1
Impacts of Unconventional Oil & Gas on IOC-NOC Relationships
Nasser Al-JaidahCEO
Qatar Petroleum International (QPI)
Oil & Money Conference 13-14 November 2012 22
A Well-Established Bottom Line
Global gas demand growth outlook is strong – some estimate ~ 40% growth by 2025
Developing country population growth and energy intensity leading this growth
New resources needed, and IOC/NOC in unconventional is a mutually beneficial source
Oil & Money Conference 13-14 November 2012 33
Shift To Unconventional ResourcesNOCs
� Increased share of global hydrocarbon portfolio
� Historically produced from upper portion of resource triangle with less complexity and lower cost
� Need to move to more complex resources like unconventional over time, but limited NOC experience
Oil & Money Conference 13-14 November 2012 44
Expertise of IOCs, Independents in Unconventional Oil & Gas
International oil companies (IOCs) and independents have experience in finding and exploiting unconventional resources
This IOC experience positions them well for cooperation with NOCs in unconventional oil, with mutual benefit, including continuing their historical role as technology transfer leaders
Oil & Money Conference 13-14 November 2012 55
Independents and Service Companies early entrants in unconventional gas� Tight gas, shale gas, and coal-bed methane
These Service Companies helped to develop technologies needed to exploit unconventional (eg. Drilling, fracturing techniques)
IOCs have a decade or more of investment experience in tight/shale gas, esp in the US
Oil & Money Conference 13-14 November 2012 66
What NOCs OfferNOCs:
� Financial capacity required for unconventional
� Infrastructure (eg shipping, delivery point access) needed to optimize returns and growth
� Market access to optimize delivery sources and demand points for consumer and NOC/IOC benefit - arbitrage
Oil & Money Conference 13-14 November 2012 77
Competitive Advantages of IOCsProject and risk management, in addition to technology and know how
Application of disciplined approach to optimize design, procurement and construction – spend for the right reasons at the right time
Strong ability to define and match new products to meet demands of specific markets
IOC/NOC Cooperation in Unconventional – Mutual Benefits
How do IOCs benefit?Access to low cost capitalAccess to low cost infrastructure and synergiesEnhanced market access
How do NOCs benefit?
Access to technologyAccess to IOC learning curve effectsValue generation through optional supply sources and growth
Oil & Money Conference 13-14 November 2012 88
Ultimately, markets benefit through effective and economically sustainable sources of supply to meet global demand.
Oil & Money Conference 13-14 November 2012 99
Unconventional – NOC OpportunityThe prospect of new large scale resource may be perceived as a potential threat� Combine effective partnership with IOCs, and disciplined investment
turns unconventional into an NOC opportunity
Qatar uniquely positioned to contribute and participate in this IOC/NOC partnership in unconventional oil and gas� Capital, shipping/infrastructure, market arbitrage, and historical
partnership/commitment focus
Oil & Money Conference 13-14 November 2012 1010
To Sum upUnconventional resource development will play an increasing role in meeting global energy demandNOCs should embrace the challenges and opportunities associated with the exploitation of promising unconventional resourcesMassive infrastructure challenge, and NOC/IOC partnership is a natural and effective method to meet this challenge
