9 Preface Asia is the second largest oil importing region in the world, second only to the United States of America and since the world s two most populous nations are located in Asia (China and India) it may not take much time before Asia becomes the largest oil importing region in the world. Risk avoidance rather than risk management has been the operative word in Asian oil markets. That is about to change due to the twin engines of deregulation and privatization driving competition. The business-as-usual approach no longer works as a sharp increase in oil dependence adds more price uncertainty and undoubtedly more future price volatility. The annualized volatility of oil, which ranges from 40 50% per year, is almost the highest of any commodity. Timing is everything. Now is the time for using energy risk management tools. Deregulation and globalization of energy markets are bringing with it the need for active management of market risks. The markets are becoming more price-sensitive with the rapid dissemination of price and market information. The need to use these financial tools exists. In 2004, we could see that this continued rapid rise in demand from Asia, finally brought an imbalance to the supply/demand of the global oil market. Global demand had finally outpaced the speed at which new oil reserves could be found and exploited, resulting in the highest prices of crude oil seen in the world since the oil crisis of the 1970s. The very crisis that spawned the birth of oil futures markets around the world allowed oil consumers to hedge (insure) themselves against high prices from another price crisis. High prices of crude oil are good for oil producers, but Asia is a huge net importer of oil, the very life blood of economies and as a result unhedged countries can experience sharp drops in GDP growth and inflation, and ix

10 x PREFACE energy dependent industries can face big bills or even face financial difficulty if they can not pass costs on to their customers. Headlines like these became every day news in 2004, Price Rise To Fuel India Inflation, Fiscal Gap, Global Oil Price Surge May Cost China Dearly, Japan Keeps Its Cool Despite High Crude Prices, and High Oil Prices Damp S. Korea s Economic Recovery. By 2005, Japan, South Korea, China, India, Taiwan, Thailand, and Singapore will all be importing oil at over 1 million bbl/d each. While some Atlantic Basin crude oil from West Africa and the North Sea may supply some of the older, less flexible Asian refineries that have an appetite for those sweet crudes, the key issue is the growing Asia Pacific dependency on Middle Eastern sources of crude. This increased dependency on oil foretells an era of continued price volatility and the growing need for more risk management instruments to be developed and utilized in the Asian markets. China already turned into a net oil importer during 1993 and its needs continue to grow. And Indonesia, an OPEC member and current oil exporter, seems to be slipping to the position of an importer of oil recently. With about half of world oil growth projected to continue to be in the Asia Pacific region, rising product demand and tightening fuel quality standards driven by rising environmental awareness, the need for managing energy price risk seems poised for explosive growth over the next several years. However, it has taken an inordinately long time to get started in the region compared to the North American and European experiences, particularly because of the more protectionist Asian economies. As Asian energy markets continue to be liberalized and open up to free market economy mechanics, the burden of protecting economies and industry to high prices of energy and also volatile energy prices is increasingly falling upon the oil consuming industries. Whether it is due to their size, the globalization of their products, or the nature of the close relationship of the raw materials and finished products, the energy markets are unique among the traded commodity markets. It is almost unthinkable to conduct a major energy transaction today without also taking a position in a corresponding derivatives market, either exchange-traded or over-the-counter. This book offers a comprehensive guide to the principles and tools of energy risk management. In 1978, energy market traditionalists at first likened using the futures derivatives market to speculating. Considering the volatility of energy pricing and the array of financial instruments that can be used from almost any market point of view to mitigate that volatility, it must be asked of those who do not hedge and manage their risk whether they are not in fact the true speculators. This book demystifies today s world of Risk Management and effectively explains to the reader the tried and tested price mitigation tools and strategies available in the market, new developments, and what the future may hold in the Asian energy hedging market.

11 Foreword In the late 70 s when a large conference met to consider the need for a petroleum exchange in London the Buying Director of a major world food group was invited to address the audience on his experience of managing price risk in cocoa and coffee using the existing futures markets of New York and London. To the embarrassment of those who had invited him the major oil companies in the audience treated him with scant respect. Oil is the business of multi-nationals and governments not as implied the corner shop market place of cocoa and coffee. There must have been some wry smiles around the AAA food group s board table as they watched the demise of Enron and others who failed to hedge prudently. Today, the management of Price Risks in Energy is at the heart of the business of many producers and consumers in Europe and North America. Recent commercial success stories such as low-cost airlines would not have worked with their modest original capital base without cost efficient means of managing their major variable cost jet fuel. A review of financial problems of Power Generators would closely correlate with whether or not they hedged. Prudent bankers in today s competitive financial markets are lending at margins with no cushion for bad debts, so, any long term project financing or medium term trade financing requires the removal of as many risks as possible. Integration of hedging into financial structures makes good projects cheaper to finance and marginal projects possible. Whilst these hedging markets are fairly mature and well understood in Europe and North America, the Asian markets have still a long way to go in meeting the needs of their industry in smoothing financial performance and attracting the investment capital needed to fuel Asia s impressive levels of economic growth. xi

12 xii FOREWORD We live in the period of a second industrial revolution with the transfer of major portions of global manufacturing capacity into Asia. With this comes an inevitable surge in the demand for all forms of energy. Most Asian markets now operate at around world prices for energy and therefore with a high level of volatility. For the Asian economic growth story to continue there is a need for a fast track learning process in the prudent use of modern risk management techniques in energy whether the user is a producer or consumer. The Asian market is more diverse than Europe or North America. Distances are greater and there are fewer pipelines with a greater need for sea freight and longer delivery times. Each of these elements contributes to higher risk not only the price risk of the underlying commodities but also the associated financing costs and freight prices. In this book you will find fact, flavour, and formulae. Each are key elements in running a successful hedging strategy but they must be integrated into the management ethos of the firm. Therefore, this is a book not just to be read in the trading departments, but, also in the boardroom; in the finance department and by shareholders in the enterprise. Whilst the media make much of derivatives scandals and corporate collapses, there are thousands of success stories for every disaster. Failure to hedge is to run risks and sooner or later these risks will come to bite. To hedge is to prosper. Roy Leighton U.K. Chairman, CALYON Bank Chairman, Futures & Options Association, UK
