• Many forecasters will never see anything but this during their
entire career
• Virtually all forecasters—investment banks, oil companies, and
industry analysts, the US and foreign governments—use
demand-constrained models.

Demand versus Supply-Driven Forecasting
GDP Growth
Demand Growth
Supply Growth
• Supply growth is a function of non-OPEC supply and OPEC supply
• OPEC provides the residual: “Call on OPEC”
• OPEC is to stabilize prices with increased production or production
cuts

BP / IEA Forecasting
• A demand-driven interpretation.
“Global liquids consumption is projected to reach 104 Mb/d by 2030 but growth slows to 0.8% p.a. (from 1.4% p.a. in 1990-2010 and 1.9% p.a. in 1970-90).”
“Demand growth comes exclusively from rapidly growing non-OECD
economies. China, India and the Middle East together account for nearly all of the net global increase. OECD demand has peaked and consumption is expected to decline by 5.6 Mb/d.”

BP’s View of the Residual Call on OPEC
GDP Growth
Demand Growth
Supply Growth
Call on OPEC
• BP solves oil supply
growth > demand
growth with rising
spare capacity in
OPEC.
• This means purely
Saudi Arabia, barring
unexpected outages in
other countries—on
which more later.
BP Energy Outlook, Jan. 2014 (p. 32)

Assumptions of Demand Constrained Forecasting
• Oil demand is weak
- GDP growth is endogenously weak, or
- Social tastes or demographics have changed
• OPEC is central
- OPEC has enormous leverage
- OPEC discipline is key to industry economics
• Oil prices are balanced on a knife’s edge
- Any excess supply or lack of OPEC discipline will tank oil
prices—and with it, the IOCs

Conclusions

Demand versus Supply Driven Forecasting
Oil Supply Growth
(OPEC + non-OPEC)
Oil Demand Growth
GDP Growth
• Exogenous, OPEC and non-OPEC considered together
• Assumes limited accommodation from OPEC
Supply-Constrained Forecasting
• A “binding constraint” view of economic growth
• Oil supply growth is insufficient, reducing GDP growth
𝛈 • Inherent Demand
Growth – from unconstrained supply
• Observed demand growth – Growth actually observed in the data, less than inherent demand growth
• Efficiency Gain – Economy decreases energy intensity over time
• Residual If efficiency gains + oil supply growth not sufficient, GDP growth will be limited
13
Supply-Constrained Pre-Conditions
Need to demonstrate….
Constrained Supply
• Demand is likely higher than demonstrated
• Oil supply growth is constrained
• Oil is a key enabling commodity (can affect GDP)
• Constrained oil supply is materially affecting economic activity
• Efficiency gains are likely not enough
• GDP growth is off trend
Traditional Forecast (Demand-driven)
• “Peak demand” largely unsupported
• Oil prices sustaining in the face of supply growth in excess of
forecast demand
14
Full Cycle Gas Economics
Source: Barclays Capital
• Natural gas prices will continue to rise
• Median required breakeven price is around $8 / mmbtu

Liquids Supply Since 2005
• Total spend since 2005 on upstream
exploration and production:
$4 trillion
• Of which, $350 bn on US and Canadian
unconventional oil and gas…
• …and another $150 bn on LNG and GTL
• $3.5 trillion was spent maintaining the
2005 legacy oil and gas system
• About $2.5 trillion* was spent on legacy
crude oil production—94% of the
petroleum liquids supply today.
• Result: legacy oil production has fallen by
1 mbpd
• Peak oil for legacy system: still 2005
• For comparison: ‘98-’05, $1.5 trillion
spend added +8.6 mbpd crude
production
• Compared to ‘98-’05 period, vaporized

China Key Driver of Oil Demand Growth
• How far? Japan, Korea, Taiwan: 0.5-0.6x US oil consumption per capita
• When? S curve is 20-30 years—about one generation
• Potential is enormous—50 mbpd in 2030 versus 10.5 now (if the oil supply
were available; US is at 18.5 mbpd now)
• Total non-OECD demand growth to 2030 could be 60 mbpd—2/3 as much
as total production today.
• How does this translate in 0.8% growth?

annum, 2.3% on a per capita basis
− Per capita, still puts US in 2030 on par
with Japan, Korea today.

Conclusions
26
Oil price forecasts generally fall into one of three schools:
• Futures Curve: The NYMEX futures curve sees oil prices falling below $90 / barrel by 2020. Underlying this is the
implicit assumption that oil will somehow become cheaper or easier to find and produce, in contrast to the experience
of the last decade.
• “Operators’ Forecast”: Absent a convincing oil price model, a number of oil companies are using a “best guess”
approach, which assumes that oil prices will remain around or above $100 / barrel on a Brent basis. This is not
scientific, but many, if not most, oil company executives think this seems plausible and sufficiently conservative for
investment decisions.
• DW Forecast: Douglas-Westwood uses a unique supply-constrained model which has proved itself successful in both
explaining and predicting oil prices and country level demand. This models assumes the global economy is
constrained by a struggling oil supply, with the oil price rising to the global carrying capacity (similar to the monopoly
price). Global carrying capacity should continue to increase by up to 7% theoretically, and about 4.5%, empirically.

• Demand-Constrained : Supply-growth substantially in excess of demand
growth should have crashed oil prices. But that didn’t happen.
• Supply-Constrained: With a global economy starved for oil, economic activity
expanded to absorb excess supply, prices returned to carrying capacity.

US and China Annual Oil Consumption Growth (3 mma)
But a supply constrained models depends on China
• A demand-constrained model is driven primarily by demand in China
• China sets the price, and causes the oil supply to be rationed
• China has been all but absent from oil markets in recent times
• This has allowed supply growth to increasingly flow to the advanced economies—
US consumption has jumped since Q4 2013
• Without pressure from China, the OECD countries growth may not be constrained

US Demand Outlook
• Normal US oil consumption growth trend: 1.8% per annum
• Break trend 2005, US off trend twice now in last nine years
• Consumption should be 22.3 mbpd, actual 19.2 mbpd (-14%)
• The US is still a major exporter, but also the fastest growing oil producer.
How does this affect US consumption and GDP growth?
• Does increased US oil production allow the US to consume more oil?

Costs are Rising Fast
Source: Barclays Capital
• Profits have lagged because costs are rising faster than revenues.
E&P capex per barrel has been rising nearly 11% per year.
• Brent oil prices have been largely flat.
• A number of projects have consequently been deferred, cancelled
or return for re-evaluation.

• Costs have outpaced revenues by 2-3% per year. Profitability is down 10-20%.
• The vast majority of public oil & gas companies require oil prices of over
$100/bbl to achieve positive free cash flow under current capex and dividend
programs
• Nearly half of the industry needs more than $120/bb. The 4th quartile, where
most US E&Ps cluster, needs $130/bbl or more.

Shell: “Sharper focus on fewer projects.”
“Shell said it was dropping its oil and gas production growth targets,
in a sign of how difficult it is becoming for supermajors to
increase output.”
The Majors Respond
• Shell: Discontinue production guidance and focus on increased cash flow generation.
• Shell: No Alaska 2014
• Major divestment programs

Govt take becomes
central issue
• Some high cost projects will be abandoned. More will be “pushed to the right” as operators use their current capex
budgets to pay for earlier years’ cost overruns.
• Operators will begin to take a closer look at their budgets, particularly related to deepwater exploratory drilling. Cost-
effective solutions will be in demand, opening a new chapter on technology development.
• Reducing government take (tax and royalties) will be a key focus of operator efforts. Governments will respond in an
attempt to keep the operators in play, as they have been or are doing in US, Russian and Norwegian Arctic.

Conventional Oil Production
• The conventional oil system—including Iraq, excluding Canada, US unconventionals
and NGLs—peaked in 2005
• Oil systems normally follow symmetrical advance and decline around a peak.
• Crude production has been maintained primarily by a massive increase in upstream
spend, bringing production to the left from inherently lower “natural” levels
• How does oil production regain trend? Fast? Slow? Or at all?

Conclusions
52
Supply-Constrained Oil and Economic Growth
• In order to argue for a supply-constrained model, there must be a
residual prepared to adjust up or down for increased or decreased oil
supply.
• This must be GDP growth, assuming the efficiency gains are
bounded.
• What do we need to demonstrate if this is true?
53
Supply-Constrained Oil and Economic Growth
• Need a plausible model showing the mechanism of constraint.
• Need to see some empirical evidence.
54
Oil Efficiency and GDP
• In normal times, oil efficiency in GDP increases by 1.2% / year
• In “stressed” times, 2.0% is possible
• For six recent quarters, US efficiency up 3.8% -- 2.3% GDP growth
• OECD GDP growth probably capped at 1.0-2.0%
• A constrained oil supply is reducing OECD GDP growth by 1-2%

Conclusions
59
• Demand-constrained models dominate thinking about oil demand,
supply, prices and their effect on the economy
• The data have not supported these models in recent years; the data do
fit a supply-constrained model
• A supply-constrained approach will not be applicable if China falters, US
short term latent demand is sated, and oil supply growth is robust.
• For a supply-constrained model to be valid, oil must be holding back
GDP growth as an implicit element of model construct.
• If the supply-constrained approach is right, then GDP growth depends
intrinsically on increasing oil production.
• Without such increases, OECD GDP growth will continue to lag
indefinitely, with a long-term GDP growth rate in the 1-2% range entirely
plausible, and indeed, likely.
• In turn, if this is true, then current national budget deficit levels and debt
levels will prove unsustainable, and a second round of material and
lasting adjustment will be necessary.
