CERI Commodity Report — Crude Oil
Relevant • Independent • Objective
CERI Commodity Report – Crude Oil Editor-in-Chief: Dinara Millington ([email protected]) About CERI The Canadian Energy Research Institute is an independent, not-for-profit research establishment created through a partnership of industry, academia, and government in 1975. Our mission is to provide relevant, independent, objective economic research in energy and related environmental issues. We strive to build bridges between scholarship and policy, combining the insights of scientific research, economic analysis, and practical experience. In doing so, we broaden the knowledge of young researchers in areas related to energy, the economy, and the environment while honing their expertise in a range of analytical techniques. For more information about CERI, please visit our website at www.ceri.ca.
Stephen Harper approved the CNOOC-Nexen deal and a $5-billion takeover of Progress Energy by Malaysian state-owned enterprise (SOE) Petronas while cautioning there would be no more take-overs in the oil sands.1 Harper said foreign-state control of oil sands development in particular has reached the point where further control would not be beneficial to Canada. The deal is the largest-ever acquisition by a Chinese company, and gives China a more active presence in Canada’s oil sands. (China has already made investments totaling nearly $3 billion in Canada.) The deal prompted a wave of economic nationalism as polls suggested more than 70 percent of Canadians oppose state-run foreign corporations controlling Canada's natural resources. The company is still awaiting US approval over its purchase of Nexen assets in the Gulf of Mexico and UK approval over the North Sea assets that Nexen held. The Alberta government provided Ottawa a list of conditions it wanted attached to any federal approval of the CNOOC-Nexen transaction. Those conditions reportedly included guarantees that at least half of Nexen’s board and management positions would be held by Canadians; for CNOOC to maintain current staffing levels for at least five years; and a commitment to maintain planned capital spending. In a news release, CNOOC said it will “seek to retain” Nexen’s current management team and employees, and invest “significant capital” on oil and gas resources in Canada. CNOOC has also promised to make Calgary its North and Central American headquarters and to list CNOOC shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange.2 2. Pipeline Oppositions 2012 was also a year of campaigns by environmental and other groups against the development of the oil sands, which transformed into continental protests against carriers of oil sands bitumen, in other words, pipelines. This created far-reaching challenges for the proposed Northern Gateway and Trans-Mountain oil pipeline’s expansion projects in British Columbia and the Keystone XL in Nebraska and Texas. Public hearings in British Columbia and Alberta over Enbridge's $5.5-billion Northern Gateway project provided the venue for a year of protests in Canada. This hearing had over 4,000 registered participants to speak at the hearing.
Top Five Canadian Energy Stories of 2012 Keeping on top of the news that is generated every day by the oil and gas industry is not an easy task. The year 2012 lacked a top-hit energy story like the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010 or the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster of 2011. According to Associated Press polling, the slow economic recovery came up as the year’s top story, which is not hard to believe as 2012 was another year of the ongoing European financial crisis as well as continuing lack of cooperation by US politicians over the government debt, which threatens to destabilize the world's largest economy. The Canadian economy performed better than most economies, but not without its hiccups. The threat of "Dutch Disease" produced by Alberta's expanding oil industry pushing up the loonie and undermining the economy in the East was a persistent and highly political story for much of the year. The theory was quickly disproved by many, including Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney. So it is no surprise that energy issues were the big story in Canada in 2012 and these were the top five. 1. CNOOC-Nexen Takeover China has long held ambitions with respect to North American resources. In 2005, China National Offshore Oil Corporation Limited (CNOOC) made a takeover bid for US-based Unocal, which was the ninth largest US energy company. The bid ran into serious political opposition, and was ultimately withdrawn. In 2012, CNOOC made a successful $15.1 billion bid to take over Canadian oil company Nexen. After repeated delays, Prime Minister

Meanwhile, the White House is delaying its decision again over TransCanada’s Keystone XL on the re-routed $7-billion pipeline until the first half of 2013. Canada's oil industry has a major challenge in that it needs new markets for its crude oil, but getting to those markets is more difficult than ever. In December, TD Economics said pipeline expansion in Canada must be "a national priority" or it will seriously challenge the long-term growth of the oil industry. 3. Differential Issues Prior to the shale and tight oil boom in the US and significant expansion of oil sands in Canada, the US and Canadian system for delivering crude oil to market was stable and relatively predictable. In general, the US and Canadian crude oil pipeline networks were originally designed for taking crude oil into the US Midwest. Then matters started to change as production started to rise, increasing the Cushing inventories, and pricing for WTI at the Cushing, Oklahoma hub, which had always run in close parity with Brent, started to disconnect. Discounts deepened, affecting essentially all inland Lower-48 crude grades, as well as Canadian crude oils (since these are also priced off WTI). Since January 2011, these discounts have been steep and have been considered ‘structural’.3
This year was the second consecutive year when Canadian oil and oil sands producers were faced with this on-going problem of large discounts to global and domestic crude prices. Rapid growth in the oil sands supply and a surge in US tight oil production translated into a double discount on Western Canadian oil from the top global prices. Simply put, benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude trades at a discount to North Sea Brent (i.e., global benchmark) and Canadian heavy, represented by the Western Canadian Select (WCS), sells at a discount to WTI. In December of 2012, the WTI-WCS spread reached a record $40 per barrel and is estimated to cost Canadian producers, provincial and federal governments billions of dollars per year. 4. LNG Plans Amid the vigorous debate over oil pipelines and super tankers off the B.C. coast there has been remarkably little public opposition and significant Aboriginal support for the development of liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities at Prince Rupert and Kitimat. There are at least eight projects on the drawing board with Petronas, Shell and now Chevron taking key roles in some of the most
advanced projects. There could be significant LNG exports from Canada by late in this decade. Low continental prices and an abundance of natural gas have generated interest both publically and privately to look into exporting LNG. Of particular interest are the Asian markets where North American exporters hope to arbitrage high Asian prices against low continental prices. However, North American LNG exporters are not alone in trying to access the Asian gas premium. Australia has committed to considerable LNG export capacities and other gas producing countries are following suit. Concurrently, the abundance of continental gas supplies has increased domestic natural gas end-user demand within the utility, petrochemical, industrial and transportation sectors as well as sparked a debate on whether the United States should export large amounts of LNG. Thus, exporting LNG has significant challenges and North American exporters face considerable risks. With multiple pressures facing the North American LNG industry, many have been wondering if the window of opportunity for North American exports has vanished. The new CERI Study “Global LNG: Now, Never, or Later?” summarizes current regasification and liquefaction capacities, explains LNG pricing, and reviews some of the risks for North American LNG exporters.4 The study concludes with addressing the question of whether there is room for North American LNG exporters in an Asian-Pacific market. 5. Cumulative Effects of the Oil Sands Industry The new era of oil sands development in Alberta began in the mid-1990s. Due in part to lower production costs and higher oil prices, a record number of applications were made for new projects and for the expansion of existing oil sands operations in the region. This development resulted in questions about the ability of the environment to handle the level of projected growth and development in oil sands extraction and upgrading. It also resulted in increased stakeholder concern over the potential combined or cumulative effects that increased levels of industrial activity could have on the environment – on the land, water, and air. Cumulative environmental impacts could potentially affect environmental quality, biological diversity, and/or human health, resulting in habitat loss, wildlife loss, and a reduction in air and water quality. Since the first commercial oil sands production, Alberta delivered the Lower Athabasca Regional Plan to oversee development of this resource that produces close to 2 million barrels

of oil a day. The issue of the cumulative effects from oil sands development was raised for the first time in 2012 as part of an environmental review for Shell's Jackpine mine expansion.5 Alberta had implemented changes to the provincial regulator by aligning its energy and environment ministries with the renamed Alberta Energy Regulator to improve oversight. As well, the industry announced the establishment of the Canadian Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA) on technology development and commercialization to address environmental issues. Shell announced it would proceed with its Quest Carbon Capture and Storage project to offset some of the greenhouse gas emissions generated from its oil sands operations. Along with these stories, there were some other notable ones, including a continuing pursuit of a National Energy Strategy by Alberta’s Premier; a well blowout near Innisfail that spilled 500 barrels of oil and water during a fracking job; approval of two north-south power lines in the Edmonton-Calgary corridor; and a wave of CEO departures, such as Rick George at Suncor Energy, John Manzoni at Talisman Energy, Pat Daniel at Enbridge and Mike Graham at Encana.
Endnotes 1The federal government released an updated foreign investment framework that establishes new rules for state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and serves notice that foreign takeovers of Canadian oil sands companies won’t be permitted going forward, except on “an exceptional basis only.” 2http://www.cnooccanada.com/index.php/press-centre/press-releases.html 3To read more on differentials, see CERI Commodity Report- Crude Oil, November 2012. 4CERI Study No. 131.

B1: World Petroleum Supply and Demand Balance (million barrels per day)
Notes: 1. Totals for OECD and non-OECD supply include net refining gains; specific regions/groupings within each do not. 2. OPEC demand is an estimate based on
historical annual data. 3. Balance for World equals global stockbuilds (+) and stockdraws (-) for crude oil and petroleum products and miscellaneous gains and loss-
es. Regional surpluses (+) and deficits (-) are balanced through net-imports and stock changes in the short-term, and net-imports in the longer term. Supply includes
crude oil, condensates, NGLs, oil from non-conventional sources and processing gains. Demand is for petroleum products.

C1: US Petroleum Supply and Demand Balance (million barrels per day)
Notes: 1. Does not balance because of unaccounted for crude oil. Regional surpluses (+) and deficits (-) are balanced through net-imports/transfers and stock chang-
es in the short-term, and net-imports/transfers in the longer term. 2. As of most recent month. Supply includes crude oil, condensates, NGLs, oil from non-
conventional sources and processing gains. Demand is for petroleum products. Source: EIA Petroleum Supply Monthly.

Geographical Specifications
1. The World: OECD is comprised of countries from three regions: North America (Canada, Mexico, US); Europe (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Slovak
Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, UK); and Asia-Pacific (Australia, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea). OPEC is comprised of Persian Gulf (Iran,
Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates) and non-Persian Gulf countries (Algeria, Indonesia, Libya, Nigeria, Venezuela). Non-OECD is
comprised of countries from three regions: Former Soviet Union (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kirghizstan, Moldova, Russia,
Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan); Asia (including non-OECD
Oceania); and non-Asia (Africa, Middle East, Latin America, and non-
OECD Europe). 2. United States: East (PADD I) – New England
(Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island,
Vermont); Central Atlantic (Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia) and Lower Atlantic (Florida,
Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia). Mid
-West (PADD II) – Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South
Dakota, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. South-Central (PADD III) – Alabama,
Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas. North-West
(PADD IV) – Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming. West
(PADD V) – Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon,
Washington.
3. Canada: East is comprised of Ontario, Manitoba, Quebec and the
Maritime provinces (New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova
Scotia, and Prince Edward Island). West is comprised of Alberta, British
Columbia, Saskatchewan and the northern territories (NorthWest
Territories, Nunavuut, and Yukon).
Additional Notes
1. Petroleum and oil refer to crude oil and natural gas liquids (NGLs),
whereas crude oil refers to its namesake and field condensates.
Condensates derived from natural gas processing plants are classified as
NGLs. 2. The spot price is for immediate delivery of crude oil or refined
products at a specific location. Spot transactions are generally on a cargo
by cargo basis. In contrast, a futures price is for delivery of a specified
quantity of a commodity at a specified time and place in the future. 3.
Crude oil sold Free-On-Board (FOB) is made available to the buyer at the
loading port at a particular time, with transportation and insurance the
responsibility of the buyer. Crude oil sold Cost-Insurance-Freight (CIF) is
priced at a major destination point, with the seller responsible for the
transportation and insurance to that point. A “Delivered” transaction is
similar to a CIF transaction, except the buyer in the former pays based on the quantity and quality ascertained at the unloading port, whereas in a CIF
transaction, the buyer accepts the quantity and quality as determined at the loading port. 4. Processing gain is the volume of which refinery output is
greater than crude oil inputs. The difference is due to the processing of crude oil products, which in total have a lower specific gravity than crude oil. 5.
Unaccounted for crude oil reconciles the difference between crude input to refineries and the sum of domestic production, net imports/exports, stock
changes and documented losses (in the U.S.). 6. Totals may not equal the sum of their parts in the statistical tables due to rounding.
