Important notice

The following market benchmarking exercise has been performed as at 30 June 2017.

Given the rapidly evolving views of market participants, certain views can become quickly outdated.

As part of our analysis, it should be noted that we are not providing an independent view on the oil & gas price forecasts. Instead, we are collating market participant views.

Our market benchmarking data and conclusions should not be applied mechanistically. Instead, careful consideration should be given to the purpose of the valuation and to the price forecasts and sensitivity analysis used.

Brent oil price forecast comparison

Broker average June 2017 Broker average December 2016

Our benchmarking indicates that the average brent oil price is currently expected to increase from $55/bbl in 2017 to $82/bblin 2026. This view is similar to the position six months ago when the price was expected to increase from $56/bbl in 2017 to $79/bbl in 2026.

In the short term, the average brent oil market view has been revised downwards by $4.7/bbl in 2018 and 2019, and by around $2.6/bbl in 2020 and 2021 (as shown in the graph below).

In 2025, this position reverses with the average market brentoil forecast being revised upwards by $2.6/bbl with the longer term view not too dissimilar to the view 6 months ago.

Protecting against uncertainty

To protect against uncertainty, some companies are building in contingent price mechanisms into their deals to benefit from upside and minimise risk on the downside in the event that the oil price moves. We found that 39% of global upstream deals (deal value > $250m) involved contingent consideration in Q2 of 2017, whereas in Q2 of 2016 this figure was 11% and just 1% in Q2 of 2015.

Of the transactions between June 2014 and January 2017, 15 out of 29 transactions had contingent consideration mechanisms that protected against the future oil price. For further details, please refer to the PwC thought-piece, “Oil & Gas deals,, Trends in contingent consideration mechanisms within E&P transactions”, May 2017.

Influence of OPECThere has been an inability to sustain the post OPEC November 2016 brent oil price increase, even with the extension of the production cuts

Price performance

After the November 2016 OPEC meeting in Vienna, Brent rose significantly, buoyed by hopes of lower production and higher prices. But the effect was short-lived. Iraq has not complied with the agreed cuts, and Kazakhstan has actually boosted its output from the Kashagan field. Likewise Libya has announced plans to ramp up production to 1.0 million bbls/d during 2017, and production levels in Iran and Nigeria are also rising.

After the initial positive increase in the average brent oil price by 17% in December 2016, it seems OPEC and its allies have not been able to maintain the average brent oil price at this level with a downward trajectory having been witnessed since the start of the 2017 year.

Brent is now hovering just over $50/bbl even after extension of the production cuts that had been agreed in the two most recent OPEC meetings. It remains to be seen what impact the tough talking at the July meeting will have.

The big questions now are about OPEC’s power and resolve: can it enforce cuts in production and sustain the brent oil price, and if it can’t what does that imply for the future?

OPEC fiscal deficitGiven the challenges of balancing fiscal deficits at current prices, are the IPOs of Adnoc Distribution and Saudi Armco a sign of things to come?

OPEC fiscal deficit:

• Now that the oil price is just above the psychological $50/bblmark, the majority of OPEC member countries will be facing challenges balancing their fiscal deficits.

• The much anticipated IPOs of Adnoc Distribution and Saudi Aramco highlights the impact that the decline in the oil price has had, as countries look to reform their economies. Is this is a sign of things to come?

• The question, of course, is how governments will react to this, the potential for stranded assets and how long this level of pricing is likely to last. As show in our benchmarking analysis, we observe that the average brent oil price is expected to be $82/bblin 2026.

Next edition?

In our next edition, we will look at some of the themes of a low oil price on national budgets and debt levels of oil & gas producing nations.

The disruption of electric cars on oil pricesElectric vehicles have been growing in popularity for some time, but now that the UK has announced plans to ban the sale of new diesel and petrol cars by 2040, it’s a good time to look at the impact this could have on the oil price

A crude awakening


Background

• Given that roughly half of the world’s oil is used for road transport, new electric technologies could have a huge impact on the industry.

• The number of global car manufacturers which have already announced plans to ‘go green’ could suggest we have reached a tipping point and that this could be a disruptor to the future oil price. Volkswagen have announced that they will only manufacture hybrid vehicles by 2020, all new Volvo models will have electric motors from 2019, and by 2019 BMW will build a fully electric Mini.

• As the table on the right indicates, some market commentators expect that the electric vehicles penetration of the global car fleet is expected to be significant by c.2035-2040. The range of views however, indicates the uncertainty surrounding the uptake of electric vehicles.

Where does that leave oil?

• Oil demand from the road transport sector is not just about electric cars, it’s also a function of the number of cars on the roads. Studies suggest that the total number of cars across the world is set to increase - perhaps by up to 80% by 2035, driven (in both senses) by the newly prosperous classes in emerging markets, and by better road infrastructure. At the same time, industrial and commercial vehicles account for a larger proportion of oil demand than passenger cars, and the use and cost of batteries in the former is unlikely to increase significantly for the foreseeable future.

• Even if electric cars become more widely available, their widespread use will demand significant change in consumer attitudes and also investment in infrastructure such as charging points, and achieving longer battery life. The manufacturers also need to adapt their business models to make these vehicles more profitable and commercially viable.

Barclays 26% 2030

Sources: BP Energy Outlook, Barclays Energy & Autos, IMF Riding the Energy Transition, Rethinkx – Rethinking Transportation 2020-2030, Carbon Tracker – Expect the Unexpected

What are the consequences?

• Taking all these factors together, EVs could displace oil demand by around 2mn bbls/d by about 2030, and possibly by as much as 25mn bbls/d by 2050. To put this in perspective, there was a 2mn bbls/d increase in supply in 2014-2015 which caused the price decline

• Dieter Helm has controversially taken a contrary view to our brent oil benchmarking and expects the brent oil price to decline largely due to advancements in low carbon technologies including EVs.

• In short, we do not expect oil demand to be much affected by electric vehicles in the short to medium term. Longer term is harder to predict, but we suspect that some of the long-term price forecasts that we are seeing are not yet currently forecasting a significant disruptive impact of EVs in the long term brent oil price.

“Short of a nasty war – which itself would bring a price spike but not a recovery – I can’t see any reason for oil prices to go up,” Dieter Helm

Broker and consultant Brent oil price forecasts

• We have collated 27 recent Brent crude oil price forecasts of a group of brokers and consultants.

• The graph on the right illustrates the low, median, high and inter-quartile views against the Thomson Reuters Eikon Brent Oil (ICE) forward curve as at 30 June 2017. The values shown are in nominal terms.

• Market participant forecasts are generally higher than the liquid period of the futures curve.

• We also observed that broker reports tended to be lower on average than the consultants’ views by c. $5/bbl. in the long term.

• Broker views as of 30 June 2017 tended to be c. $2/bbl. lower than broker views as at 31 December 2016.
