Oil & Gas The golden age of gas?

Maintain sector Overweight. The recent talk on gas supply dynamics

given by the President of the International Gas Union (IGU), Datuk (Dr)

Abdul Rahim, reaffirmed our positive views of the natural gas market.

Malaysia will embrace LNG imports this July to address supply

bottlenecks. Against this backdrop, service providers in the gas supply

chain would benefit. We are Overweight on the sector on expectations

of continuous positive newsflow benefiting the service providers.

Natural gas: A commodity growing in importance. Natural gas is set

to overtake coal as the second-largest fuel source by 2030. Demand

growth of 2% p.a. is the highest among the fuels (average: 1.2% p.a.).

At this rate, gas would account for 25% of total generation energy mix

by 2035 (2010: 23%). Asia, notably China, is the largest consumer of

gas. Against this backdrop, LNG trade is set to expand at a rapid pace,

as output grows to 594m tpa by 2020 (2008: 376m tpa). Australia will

be the largest LNG supplier in future, with a forecasted production of

100m tpa, overtaking Qatar‟s 77m tpa.

Malaysia is embracing structural changes in the natural gas

dynamics. Despite being a net exporter of natural gas with the 15th

largest gas reservoir in the world, Malaysia will receive its first imports

in 2012. Up to 3.8m tpa of gas (from the Lekas regasification plant in

Melaka) will be injected into the domestic pipeline system. This would

effectively lift gas supply by 24% and single-handedly address the gas

curtailment issue which has plagued the power sector since 2011.

Another 3.8m tpa of LNG supply will come in by 2017 as PETRONAS

commercialises its RAPID project in Pengerang, Johor.

Domestic gas price structure is set to transform. As gas supply

from imports increases, domestic average selling prices (ASPs) for

natural gas will rise as subsidies are set to fall. Malaysia‟s current gas

prices are among the lowest in Asia. Plans are in place for a systematic

RM3/mmBtu adjustment in price every six months. Based on the

Let’s talk about gas

We recently hosted a „Gas Sector Outlook‟ session with Datuk (Dr)

Abdul Rahim Hashim, President of the International Gas Union (IGU)

and Malaysian Gas Association, as the keynote speaker. The topic of

the presentation was “The transformation of the global gas market and

the emerging gas scenarios in Malaysia”. Key highlights are as follows.

Demand for natural gas is strong. Natural gas is set to grow nearly

twice as fast relative to the total global energy mix. The 2.0% p.a.

growth up to 2035 will be the strongest among other energy sources

(i.e. oil, coal, biomass, nuclear, hydro; total energy growth: 1.2% p.a.). It

is estimated that natural gas should overtake coal as the second-largest

energy fuel after oil by 2030. Against this backdrop, natural gas‟ share

of the total energy mix will rise to 25% by 2035 (from 23% in 2010).

The key drivers to higher gas demand. The appetite for gas from

Asia, notably China, is strong. Under its 12th Five-Year Plan, the China

market alone will make up nearly 30% of global gas growth. The recent

nuclear energy crisis in Fukushima, Japan also expedited natural gas

as a preferred substitute.

Global LNG trade is also developing rapidly, as trade volume grows and

becomes more flexible (i.e. more short- to medium-term contracts vs.

long-term trades). The widespread development of unconventional gas

(i.e. coal-bed methane, shale) as well as the lower cost of production

(i.e.USD3-9/mmBtu) also aided growth.

The global LNG outlook. The share of LNG in global energy markets

is set to grow from 31% in 2008 to 42% by 2035, as volume traded

more than doubles over the projection period. On the supply side,

global LNG output is set to grow by 55% from 376m tpa in 2010 to

594m tpa in 2020. Australia is well placed to become the LNG leader by

2020, overtaking Qatar as the largest producer.

Malaysia’s natural gas and LNG perspective

Reserves. Malaysia‟s geological gas reserves stood at about 82 trillion

cubic feet (tcf) in 2011 and the country is reputed to have the 15th

largest reservoir in the world, amounting to 1.3% of global reserves.

Approximately 63% of the gas reserves are located offshore Sabah

(15%) and Sarawak (48%), with offshore Peninsular Malaysia (primarily

Terengganu) accounting for the remaining 38%.

Production. Malaysia‟s natural gas production stood at 2.0 tcf (7,021

mmscfd – Sabah: 422mmscfd (6%), Sarawak: 3,904mmscfd (56%),

Peninsular Malaysia: 2,695mmscfd (38%)) – in 2011, delivering about

2% of global natural gas production. Based on these statistics,

Malaysia‟s production life cycle is theoretically 34 years.

Malaysia’s natural gas demand-supply outlook

Diminishing: Domestic natural gas production. Production growth

has been relatively flat over the past five years, owing to maturing

reserves and the absence of new gas field discoveries offshore

Peninsular Malaysia. Based on Wood Mackenzie‟s findings, gas supply

from Peninsular Malaysia‟s fields (which supplies to domestic needs) is

anticipated to plateau from 2015-17, and drop sharply from 2019-21.

Rising: Domestic natural gas consumption. At the same time,

domestic daily consumption of natural gas has been rising, by 1% p.a.

over the last four years, owing to it being the more efficient and

affordable source of energy relative to oil and biomass. However,

growth has been constrained by the limited availability of supply.

LNG imports should address gas shortage concerns. The import of

LNG is touted as the long-term solution to feeding Malaysia‟s growing

gas demand. The first LNG imports amounting to 3.8m tpa will be

injected into the system by Jul 2012, and up to 7.6m tpa of LNG will

flow into the PGU by 2017.

Malaysia is committed to 7.6m tpa of additional LNG by 2017. 7.6m

tpa of LNG equates to 1,011 mmscfd of natural gas, or 40% of the gas

supply injected into the PGU system in 2010. This should offset the fall

in domestic fields‟ gas up to 2017 while maintaining Malaysia‟s gas

supply level at 5,977 mmscfd.

LNG supply commitment is already underway. We understand that

PETRONAS is already working towards ensuring availability of LNG

supply from various suppliers (i.e. Australia, Europe and Middle East),

both on short and long-term contracts.

Malaysia is set to embrace third-party gas importation by Jul 2012.

The first LNG import will be injected into the system by Jul 2012. In

order to receive LNG that is required to be subsequently regassed for

transmission through the PGU system, a regasification plant and

receiving terminal (i.e. floating storage units, subsea and onshore

pipelines) is required.

First regas project being built in Melaka with a 3.8m tpa capacity.

Construction of the regas facilities aka „Project Lekas‟, developed by

Petronas Gas at Sungai Udang, Melaka is in progress. Based on the

LNG delivery schedule, Melaka‟s regas plant should hit its maximum

capacity in 2012.

South Johor has been identified to be the second regas base. We

reckon the planned regas plant, which will be larger in size than the one

in Melaka, will support PETRONAS‟ USD20b Refinery and

Petrochemical Industrial Development (RAPID) and the Iskandar

Development Region (IDR) programmes.

Malaysia to get additional gas from new fields by 2013.

Notwithstanding the regas programmes and new plants in Melaka,

Johor and Sabah which involve LNG imports, PETRONAS and its

Production Sharing Contract (PSC) partners will spend about RM15b to

develop a cluster of gas fields offshore Peninsular Malaysia.

Gas projects will be on an accelerated basis. PETRONAS expects

the first delivery of 100 mmscfd of gas by early 2013, and 250 mmscfd

by 2015 (3-9% of domestic consumption), from these new fields.

(iii) third-party access transportation tariff already in place, the natural

gas pricing mechanism is the next item to be addressed.

Gas subsidy will be gradually removed over the next five years.

The proposed reform by the Economic Planning Unit (EPU) will result in

natural gas prices being systematically increased by RM3.00/mmBtu

every six months until it meets market prices by 2016. The systematic

lift in ASP is aimed at eliminating the potential effect of demand

destruction for gas.

However, execution will be a challenge. While the proposal is ideal,

implementation is a challenge, for it requires strong political will as it

would impact the socio-economic outlook. As it is, it has already

experienced hiccups. The second planned price hike has missed the

Dec 2011 deadline, and the next revision in Jun 2012 too is likely to

face delays. The last revision was undertaken in Jun 2011.

Two-tier natural gas pricing? One option, we reckon, is for the natural

gas resources from Peninsular Malaysia fields to be subjected to the

EPU price structure, while the LNG import could be immediately priced

at market rates (i.e. two-tier pricing). The other likely scenarios would

be to have single-tier pricing for both sources of supply (i.e. Peninsular

Malaysia fields and LNG import), together with either adoption of the

EPU pricing structure or an entirely new tariff. Of these scenarios, we

think the two-tier gas price structure is more likely to be implemented.
