Background: EE2 / DIW Program“The Globalization of Natural Gas Markets” (2004-2007)

- Jointly between Dresden University of Technology, Chair of Energy Economics and Public Sector Management, and DIW Berlin

- Research and advice to policy makers and the corporate sector, three modules:1) Computational model of the European (and trans-Atlantic) natural gas market

- Competition/oligopoly, effect on prices, quantities- Infrastructure bottlenecks (pipelines, LNG-terminals)- Role of Russia …

2) Institutional economic modeling on governance structures and contracts- Nexus between regulation and contracts- Changing role of long-term contracts- Vertical integration along the LNG value added chain

3) Econometric analysis of energy price developments- Relation between North American, European, Asian gas and oil prices- Cointegration and/or convergence of trans-Atlantic natural gas prices ?

The Traditional Long-Term Contracts in Europe

- Generally, tied to infrastructure projects (capital-intense, asset-specific)

- Long-term take-or-pay contracts linking seller and buyer into bilateral monopoly

- Risk-sharing between exporters and importers in the „old world“ of no competition

- Price indexation to oil

Page 8: The European Natural Gas Market - Challenges and ... · -3-Background: EE2 / DIW Program “The Globalization of Natural Gas Markets” (2004-2007)-Jointly between Dresden University

Increasing Importance of Spot Markets

- Europe- NBP, Zeebrugge, TTF- Italy, Germany, France, Austria

- North America- Henry Hub (of 36 trading places including Canada)- Liquid future and option markets (up to 6 six years)

- Competition of North American and European Markets- Active arbitraging with price differentials of ~$0.30/MBtu (+$0.40/MBtu Regasification)- Little impact on prices in market of which LNG spot cargoes have been diverted from- Increasing linkage of long-term contracts to spot market prices

- Role of LNG- Decreasing capital intensity in particular in the LNG industry- Increasing number of market participants- Increasing share of spot trade

Conclusion: Where Do We Stand in Europe?

- Diversification process of supplies is on a good way (LNG)

- Liberalization still has a long way to go in many EU Member States

- Regulation (e.g. of transmission, storage) differs between Member States but harmonization cannot be expected in the short term because of lacking EU competences (principle of subsidiarity)

Natural Gas Markets in Europe: Where Do We Stand ?

- Europe = region with less and less own (domestic) production increasing import dependency

- BUT: increasingly diversified import portfolio

- Partly due to soaring of LNG projects and imports

- fragmented market with lasting national monopolies, and nationalregulation(s) which are poorly harmonized

- Undecided which elements of the value chain to be regulated and how (transmission, storage, etc)

- High concentration on the wholesale market, but number of players has been increasing over the past years

- Traditional contract structure: long-term contracts, generally tied to transport infrastructure development

- Recently (since beginning 1990s in UK, late 1990s in Europe): spot markets with increasing liquidity (NBP, Zeebrugge, TTF)

The Issue

- Development of long-term contracts in liberalized markets with a focus on transaction cost

- Decreasing asset-specificity along the value chain of natural gas

- First empirical qualitative evidence on Europe, a lot of work in the US

Impact of uncertainty, asset-specificity and frequency of trade on traditional natural gas importing contracts?

What are the main drivers for diminishing contract duration?

This paper in a nutshell:

Restructuring of the industry implies that long-term contracts loose some of their importance, and that they are likely to play a considerable role (only) when large-scale, asset-specific investment decisions are at stake.

Theory: Structural Changes in theInternational Natural Gas Industry

- Cost reduction in the LNG value-added chain- Economies of scale in liquefaction- Lower costs for shipping- Economies of scale in regas

- Diminishing asset specificity of investments- Formerly: field-specific contracts- Nowadays: infrastructure developed, less hold-up risk, more general country-focused

contracts- More players on both sides (producers, traders, importers)

- Development of spot markets and shorter-term trading

- Increased number of market participants- Producers- Buyers

Less need for long-term contracts to overcome the hold-up problem

Factors Influencing Contractual Structures

- Development of spot markets for natural gas

- Increasing share of (LNG) spot trade

- Moving away from oil price indexation towards natural gas spot priceindexation

- Internationalization of trade

- Decreasing capital intensity in particular in the LNG industry

- Increasing number of market participants

Conclusion: Long-Term Contract Analysis

- Contracts dedicated to infrastructure investment exhibit significantly longer durations prevailance / importance of LTC to secure efficient investments

- Positive effects of EC Directive: shorter contract duration

- Market developments enhance shorter term trading

- Importing contracts with political unstable regions secured over long time spans

Conclusion: Transatlantic Prices

- Increasing convergence of transatlantic gas prices

- Open question: Where is the price for natural gas, wehre is the price determined?

An international natural gas market is evolving, with own price setting mechanisms

Natural gas prices (alone) can serve as reference in contracts (e.g. NBP prices for European contracts)

LNG and Pipeline Exports to Europe in the Next Decades

Expected increase of natural gas exports over time comes with an increasing diversification of supplies, in favor of LNGThe share of LNG is increasing over time, especially in the next decadeLNG mainly comes from North Africa, Africa and the Caribbean, only few from the Middle East

The main questions to be answered:- Where will be the capacity bottlenecks?- Where will additional LNG exports go to in the Atlantic basin, to the EU or the US

market?

Increased Pipeline Export Capacity: +50 bcm(C) More Export Capacity

(no binding import capacity)

Higher reference gas demand: +45%

Higher reference LNG demand: +650 %

(EIA scenario)

Higher reference gas demand: +45%(B) Demand Expansion

Increased LNG Export Capacity: + 175 bcm

Transatlantic LNG Market:Europe absorbs most of the Atlantic LNG

- Demand expansion leads to relative more LNG supplies to North America and less in Europe, where pipeline gas fills the gap

- Increased export capacity mainly goes to Europe

Transatlantic LNG Market:Geography plays a role

Prices increase substantially, especially on the North American market, influenced by increased European imports (competition for LNG with Europe)

Additional LNG to the North America mainly comes from the CaribbeanGeography (transport costs) plays a role

Conclusions

- Internationalization of natural gas markets is likely to lead to more diversified supply portfolios, and thus increase supply security

-Long-term contracts …

- LNG is taking off in Europe, as shown by the large number of regasification facility projects

- The European natural gas markets require substantial investments in infrastructure (pipelines, LNG, distribution)

-Globalization of natural gas markets and competition for LNG in the Atlantic basin may well take over part of the supplies … and lead to higher prices
