Energy Leaders Set Tone for 2016 in Industry-Defining Publication
(firmenpresse) - LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwired) -- 11/24/15 -- The year ahead holds promise for many sectors across oil and gas markets. Petroleum Economist has put together an exclusive collection of essays and articles to produce . Here, we give a taste of what to expect from the long awaited report in the form of a few select comments from our expert contributors.
Abdalla El-Badri, the secretary-general of Opec:
"The industry can expect to see a more balanced market in 2016 as global economic growth picks up, oil-demand growth continues its recent expansion, and non-Opec supply growth drops considerably."
Robin Mills, fellow at the Brookings Doha Center:
"The end of sanctions in 2016 will see Iranian oil come back to market and launch a new expansive era for the country's energy sector... Adding new Iranian supply to the global glut could knock $5 - 10/barrel off the oil price."
Bill Farren-Price, founder and CEO of Petroleum Policy Intelligence:
"Long-dated contracts (in Saudi Arabia) imply the market will struggle to get much above $60 a barrel before the end of the decade."
Luay Al-Khatteeb, founding director of the Iraq Energy Institute:
"Iraq, like other Opec members, will offer discounts to maintain market share, thereby reducing the chances of keeping prices above $40/b in 2016. It's probably better to assume Iraq will garner $35/b for its oil next year - making 2016 difficult for a country needing $101/b to keep its budget afloat."
Pedro Joaquin Coldwell, Mexico's secretary for energy:
"In the hydrocarbons sector, the whole value chain was opened to private investment to stop the decline of oil and gas production seen in the past decade. In the power sector, a new wholesale-electricity market will start operating in 2016 and diverse investors will carry out different projects across almost the whole sector, excluding nuclear-power generation."
Neil Beveridge, senior analyst, Bernstein Research:
"No LNG projects due on line in 2016 will return their cost of capital. (...) While near-term demand growth has faltered, the long-term outlook is attractive. The global LNG market will likely more than double between now and 2030. Gas (and LNG) will play a central role as the world moves to cut greenhouse-gas emissions."
Michael Levi, fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York:
"If Paris is viewed as a success, it will bolster the position of advocates in capitals from Washington to Beijing who argue that pursuing emissions cuts at home is good policy (...) Action on climate will get real in 2016 when governments try to come good on their summit promises."
Oliver Jakob, managing director of Petromatrix:
"...gasoline is back. As it steals diesel's momentum in the coming two years, gasoline will also bring some strong economic returns to refiners still able to meet the market's ever-changing needs."
Kang Wu, Vice Chairman, Asia and Managing Director, FGE China:
"China's economy and energy-demand needs will continue their readjustment in 2016 - with consequences for everyone else."
Chris Weafer, the founding partner of Macro-Advisory:
"Oil production will fall in 2016 as sanctions and low oil prices starve Russia's energy sector of cash and technology. Expect some more deal-making with Asian investors."
