WTI has been sub-$50 since mid-summer 2015, and the world’s other main marker crude, Brent Blend, has been trading at comparable levels. There are no manifest signs of an upward swing anytime soon. Cheap crude oil is now plentiful and available to all. Forty years ago, the story was much different. The 1973 Oil Crisis marked the beginning of a keen national awareness of oil’s importance in the daily lives of Americans. Arab nations, displeased with US and other nations’ support of Israel in the Yom Kippur War, announced an oil embargo on those countries. This energy restriction resulted in immediate, massive increases in oil prices, which in turn had resounding effects throughout the US economy. The US had reached a peak in oil production three years earlier, and could not unilaterally make up for this sharp reduction in supply. Various domestic policy and diplomatic efforts eventually eased the supply crisis, but the 1970s were a time of long line-ups at gasoline stations and persistent economic “stagflation”.3 In 1975, President Gerald Ford signed new legislation to deal with the crisis, The Energy Policy and Conservation Act. The Act established the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards and the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, both of which are still in place today. It also provided the President with power to control domestic

Assessing the US Ban on Crude Oil Exports Jon Rozhon In his 2006 State of the Union address, US President George Bush dramatically announced, “America is addicted to oil”. Those remain perhaps the most memorable words of the entire speech. The next sentence, though, has turned out to be even more telling: “The best way to break this addiction is through technology”.1 President Bush was certainly correct in stating technology had a role to play, but in the oil and gas industry, a decade of remarkable technological innovation has so far not cured America of its oil dependency. It may well be argued that technology has only fed the addiction. Two rapidly developing technologies in particular – horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing – have pried open previously uneconomic shale oil and gas plays throughout North America, flooding markets with domestically-produced hydrocarbons in volumes that would have been unthinkable during the Bush era. The price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil stood at $67.86 on the day of the President’s speech, and there were some fluctuations over the next few years. Since 2010 however, the oil price stayed uncharacteristically stable, trading mostly within the $70-$100 range. Finally, in the summer of 2014, the crude oversupply caused global crude oil prices to collapse by more than 50 percent. The situation was further exacerbated when Saudi Arabia made the decision not to adjust production to support higher oil prices, thereby abandoning its traditional role as “Swing Producer,”2 and the world witnessed the unfettered laws of supply and demand taking the price of oil straight down (see Figure 1).

oil and gas production, to regulate energy prices, and to enforce energy rationing in case of another shortage.4 One important provision of the Act authorized the President to restrict exports of coal, crude, natural gas, and petrochemical feedstock, with the exception of exports to important trading partners Mexico and Canada. Much has changed over the years – there are no longer any price controls, for example – but one thing has remained constant, the ban on crude oil exports. Presidents and Congresses since the 1970s have accepted that control of domestic oil is fundamental to the nation’s security. Oil production was on a seemingly inexorable decline; within a generation, production had fallen by more than half (see Figure 2). However, the technological advances mentioned earlier have brought domestic crude production roaring back to the point where 2015 volumes are comparable to those produced before the long decline began 45 years ago. Now oil producers, politicians, and the general public are asking whether or not it is finally time to stop restricting crude exports. Figure 2: US Field Production of Crude Oil, 1970-2015

Sources: EIA, CERI

The resurgence in domestic oil production should not be mistaken for oil self-sufficiency. The US is a net importer, and that is unlikely to end soon. Consuming oil at a rate of 19 million barrels per day (MMBPD), the US requires more of the commodity than does any other country

(China is the second largest consumer at 11 MMBPD); domestic production still falls well short of what America needs.5 The problem, however, is not a matter of oil quantity but quality. Many US crude refineries are presently equipped to handle the sour, heavy crudes imported from Canada (by far the US’ largest crude import source), Mexico and Venezuela. Capacity to refine the increased volumes of domestic crude, which is light and sweet, is therefore at a premium. US production has pushed out much imported light, sweet crude, but even so, the industry appears to be nearing a threshold where no further light oil can be absorbed by the nation’s refineries without yield declines or capacity additions. The number is by-and-large agreed by analysts to be between 10 and 11 MMBPD.6 The most recent data from the EIA (Figure 2) indicates domestic production is now close to those levels – in excess of 9.5 MMBPD. Building new refineries or retooling existing refineries are two expensive and potentially unpopular options: many refiners, especially along the Gulf Coast, have already incurred significant expense configuring their facilities to take heavy oil. In addition, the general public is not usually receptive to new-build refineries – “not in my backyard” being a commonly-held view. Exporting domestic oil, on the other hand, would be a simpler, less costly option. What would be the economic ramifications of opening up crude exports? In recent years, at least partly because domestic crude could not reach alternative destinations, prices have been lower in the US than on global markets. Releasing US oil to the world would have the general effect of putting downward pressure on global oil prices. Any existing gap between WTI and Brent would narrow. Figure 3 shows the historic difference between WTI and Brent prices. Lately the persistent spread between the two crudes has closed. Over the long haul, WTI – a slightly better quality crude than Brent – could be expected to fetch the same price as or a marginally higher price than Brent.

US producers would welcome the increase in domestic crude value, but refiners would likely not see similar benefits. For years, refiners have profited by using cheaper domestic crude and blending it with cheap heavy imported crude and then selling the higher-value refined petroleum products (RPPs) – which are under no export restrictions – at global prices. However, with open crude oil markets and lower prices for Brent, global RPP prices would fall, too. In sum, producers would benefit to a degree, the end-users of RPPs would benefit to a degree, but refiners would probably lose out. It should come as no surprise, then, that refiners are leading the way in opposing lifting of the crude ban and producers are in general agreement that the oil should be on offer to foreign buyers. The House voted in favour of lifting the ban in October of 2015, with 26 Democrats joining 235 Republicans.7 But Obama’s Administration feels that "Legislation to remove crude export restrictions is not needed at this time," "Congress should be focusing its efforts on supporting our transition to a low-carbon economy.”8

The President may be right. Worldwide oil and gas prices are low and it will take a great deal more than lifting the export ban to breathe new life into the US industry; perhaps the legislative focus is required elsewhere. US producers and consumers could have benefitted if the ban had been lifted several years ago when the WTI-Brent spread was at its widest. Since then, however, Saudi Arabia’s choice to abdicate its swing producer status has proven to be momentous, shaking the oil industry to its core. Right now, lifting or not lifting the export ban would make little difference in this global landscape of cheap, plentiful oil. If the world returns to a situation where oil is a scarce commodity, releasing US crude could bring some relief to domestic producers and consumers. It remains to be seen if security of supply will continue to trump economic efficiency.

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 Republ ic,

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.
