Sector Fundamentals -Offshore Oil field services
An Introduction Buoyancy in the sector is resultant of prediction flaws that, supply of oil & gas would be as big an issue as demand difficult to increase production capability, quickly enough to relieve tightness in demand- supply Creating most favorable business environment since 1970s 31
E&P viewed independently 85% of world energy demand growth since 2000 has been from emerging economies accounting for >50% of consumption Exploration budgets surged from 2004 onwards with 50%+ rise in spending surveys Additional investments attributed to inflation & not necessarily representing enhancement in production capacities 32
Sustainability of buoyancy in E&P Hydrocarbon a global need Energy basket constituents would continue to be skewed towards oil &/ or gas Cycle expected to remain intact Capacity cannot be developed fast enough to influence the scenario Dramatic slow down in world economy could upset business dynamics 33
Business Dynamics Game of tight asset supply Aging fleet with limited life; threat to safety New building deliveries to replace asset extinction Age distribution AHTSV fleet Source : Clarksons Day rates expected to be remunerative 34
Day rates scaling new highs North Sea spot market form benchmark to other global markets but with a lag Source : Pareto 35
Outlook
Tanker Market Outlook World oil demand to grow at a depleting rate Downside risks to economic growth increasing Non-OECD production could curb tonne-mile Demand vulnerable to shocks Refinery capacity to increase Upgrading capacity increases beyond 2010 New refineries planned in emerging economies Supply/ Demand balance to continue to remain tight 37
Dry bulk Market Outlook Emerging economies make up for half of world GDP (PPP basis) Strong steel demand will continue to put pressure on Iron Ore production Inadequate port infrastructure & hinterland support creating congestion Chinese demand is expected to remain strong with the 2008 Olympics acting as a catalyst Strong coal demand for power starved economies of Asia Sustained growth driving seaborne trade 38
Offshore Services Market Outlook Increased offshore activity in deeper and harsher waters New building capacity fully exploited forcing refurbishment of mothballed rigs Losses due to hurricanes add to impending problem of rig availability; limited rig building infrastructure continue to depend on OEM suppliers Increased demand for large specialized vessels Chartering of OSVs in development, repair, construction and decommissioning contracts envisaged Day rates, utilization to be high Longer term contracts on the anvil 39
