The latest India Oil & Gas Report from BMI forecasts that the country will account for 11.23% of Asia Pacific regional oil demand by 2013, while providing 10.85% of supply. Asia Pacific regional oil use of 21.40mn barrels per day (b/d) in 2001 reached 25.68mn b/d in 2007. It should average 26.32mn b/d in 2008, and then rise to around 29.65mn b/d by 2013. In terms of natural gas, in 2007 the region consumed 421bn cubic metres (bcm), with demand of 595bcm targeted for 2013. Production of 336bcm in 2007 should reach 483bcm in 2013, but implies net imports rising from 85bcm per annum in 2007 to 111bcm in 2012. This is in spite of many Asian gas producers being major exporters. India’s share of gas consumption in 2007 was 9.55%, while its share of production was 8.98%. By 2013, its share of gas consumption is forecast to be 10.22%, with the country accounting for 10.34% of supply.

In Q308, we estimate that the OPEC basket price averaged US$113.60 per barrel (bbl) – down around 3.4% from the Q208 level. The OPEC basket price averaged US$112.41/bbl in August and US$97.16/bbl in September. In October, we are assuming an average of around US$113.30/bbl. The estimated Q308 average prices for the main marker blends are now US$115.67/bbl for Brent, US$117.22/bbl for WTI and US$113.43/bbl for Russian Urals (Mediterranean delivery). Our projections for 2008 as a whole are unchanged from the last oil market report. We are still assuming an OPEC basket price average of US$110/bbl for 2008. Based on recent price differentials, this implies Brent at US$113.33, WTI averaging US$114.58/bbl, and Urals at US$110.36/bbl. Our central view is that the OPEC basket price will fall from US$110/bbl in 2008 to US$96 in 2009, before settling around US$90/bbl in 2010 onwards.

In terms of our refined products forecasts, the BMI composite (Rotterdam, Singapore and New York) global indicator price for unleaded gasoline is expected to average approximately US$117.50/bbl during 2008. Our jet forecast for 2008 is just under US$141/bbl, up from US$89/bbl in 2007. The 60% annual increase represents the second biggest for the key refined products. With gasoil, BMI is assuming a similar gain in 2008, to an average US$137/bbl. Naphtha is expected to exhibit more modest growth, rising from US$75/bbl to US$106/bbl (+41%). During 2009, we are expecting products prices to follow the underlying crude trend lower, but to prove more resilient than the feedstock – implying a recovery in refining margins. Gasoline in 2009 is estimated at US$103/bbl, with jet falling to US$127/bbl. Gasoil is expected to average US$122/bbl, with naphtha slipping to US$91/bbl.

Indian real GDP growth is forecast by BMI at 9.0% for 2008, down from 9.4% in 2007. We are assuming 7.9% growth in 2009, 7.8% in 2010, 7.9% in 2011, followed by 7.5% in 2012 and 7.3% in 2013. State oil firm Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) is charged with maximising domestic oil production, which in 2007 averaged 801,000b/d. Thanks to its efforts and those of UK-based Cairn Energy, we see production peaking at around 950,000b/d by 2011. Oil consumption is forecast to increase by 3-4% per annum to 2012, implying demand of 3.38mn b/d by 2013. The import requirement would therefore be approximately 2.45mn b/d by the end of the forecast period. Gas consumption is set to rise from 40bcm in 2007 to 61bcm, with domestic supply up from 30bcm in 2007 to 50bcm by 2013.

Between 2007 and 2018, we are forecasting an increase in Indian oil production of just 7.4%, with crude volumes peaking in 2011 at 950,000b/d, then falling steadily to 860,000b/d in 2018. Oil consumption between 2007 and 2018 is set to increase by 33.8%, with growth slowing to an assumed 2.0% per annum towards the end of the period and the country using 3.68mn b/d by 2018. Gas production is expected to rise from around 30bcm in 2007 to a possible 60bcm by 2018 (+100%). With demand growth of 93%, this provides an import requirement rising from 10bcm to 18bcm, largely in the form of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Details of the new BMI 10-year forecasts can be found in the appendix to this report, which provides global, regional and country-specific projections.

India again ranks third in BMI’s updated Upstream Business Environment rating, with a strong resource position being offset somewhat by extensive state involvement, a limited competitive landscape and only a moderate risk environment. The country sits well ahead of the Philippines and Pakistan, and just three points behind Vietnam. The country is still second behind China in the league table in BMI’s updated Downstream Business Environment rating, reflecting its status as a high-growth energy market with strongly positive population and demand trends, plus a low level of retail site intensity. It is just ahead of Singapore, with scope to pull away from the more mature Asian energy economy.
