    is in

    Over the past several years, many energy analysts have said that shale gas could revolutionize theenergy industry. Shale gas is a low-cost, carbon-riendly alternative to traditional uels. Signicantdeposits are being discovered throughout the world. Shale gas is poised to supply a rising proportion

    o the worlds energy needs.For these reasons, many people have been calling shale gasa game changer or world energy markets. Is there reallysubstance beneath all the hype?

    In November 2010, during the rst in a series o KPMG GlobalEnergy Institute webcasts on the global shale gas industry,we asked oil and gas industry executives, primarily locatedin the United States, whether they would apply the termgame changer to shale gas.1 Over 80 percent agreed withthe statement and over 93 percent predict that investmentin shale gas exploration and development will signicantly

    increase. Based on an overview o recent merger andacquisition (M&A) activity in the sector, the prediction is righton the mark.

    Our white paper Shale Gas A Global Perspective2 shared ourinsights on the state o shale gas development around the

    world and our views on the prospects o shale gas as part othe global energy mix. In the ollowing pages, we zero in onactors and issues aecting M&A in the shale gas sector, withspecial ocus on M&A trends in the three countries with thelarger known recoverable reserves: United States, Argentinaand China.

    In a world o rising energy prices, pressure to reduce harmulemissions, and geopolitical instability, each o these countrieshas a huge stake in developing its shale gas production anddistribution capabilities and changing the game or decades

    to come.

    OpportunitiesIn a relatively short period o time, theU.S. shale gas boom has transormedenergy markets within the country andaround the world. Current M&A in theU.S. shale gas industry indicates thatthe industry continues to mature. Major

    domestic companies are consolidatingtheir shale gas interests in provenreserves, large independents arerepositioning into unproven reserves,and the industry is attracting newdomestic and oreign investment as theoverall risk prole declines.

    Consolidation through acquisition

    Immediately ater the 2008 nancialcrisis, joint ventures were the mostpopular means or nancing U.S. shalegas development projects. While jointventure activity in the country continues,particularly among Asian investors, it

    appears to be trailing o. Instead, theindustry is seeing a shit to outrightpurchases, including asset transactionsand, more commonly, corporateacquisitions, which is allowing largercompanies to deploy more capital and togain exposure to more than one basin.

    IssuesNatural Gas Liquid (NGL) price

    advantage

    Valuations have strengthened,particularly or basins with exposureto liquids. In the past 2 years, givenweak natural gas prices, the NGL-crudeprice linkage oered a higher incentive

    or investment in liquid rich shale gasexploration and oily reserves.

    Looking ahead, rising NGL volumes are

    likely to depress NGL pricing relative tooil. While this movement is unlikely tostall M&A activity in the market, it maydiminish the attractiveness o wetgas shale reserves and cause risk

    adjustments to uture NGL pricing invaluation models.

    Infrastructure bottleneck

    The lack o inrastructure in certainbasins or transporting and processingNGLs is creating a temporarybottleneck or development. Remotely

    located basins ace challenges ingetting the product out o the groundand into the marketplace. Signicantinvestment in inrastructure will beneeded over the next 25 years, withcapital requirements expected toexceed US$200 billion countrywideduring that period.

    Inadequate midstream inrastructure,including gathering systems, processingplants, storage elds, and liqueednatural gas terminals, could trigger price

    volatility across the industry, leadingto stranded gas supplies and slowinginvestments or development o new,remotely located reserves.

    Environmental concerns

    The industry aces mounting concernsabout the environmental impact ohydraulic racturing (racking), thedrilling technique that makes shalegas extraction possible. Lawsuits havebeen led against shale gas producersin at least seven states. Some stateshave imposed temporary bans on thetechnique due to concerns over possiblegroundwater contamination. Thoughsome bans have been lited, regulatoryuncertainty is causing some developersto move their activities to moreaccommodating locations.

    The U.S. Environmental ProtectionAgency (EPA) is working to standardizeand regulate activity at the ederal level.In December 2011, the EPA expressedconcerns that racking may havecaused groundwater contaminationin Wyoming. Eorts to standardizeracking procedures, includingdisclosure o racking fuids, continuesto evolve at the ederal level. UntilU.S. ederal policy in the area settles,regulatory uncertainty will continueto infuence M&A decisions about the

    viability o shale gas investments insome basins.

    M&A TrendsLong-term pricing impact

    NGL price movements are expectedto continue to infuence M&A activityin the United States. In an inormalpoll conducted during a KPMG GlobalEnergy Institute webcast,3 oil and gasindustry executives were asked whatthey think is primarily driving current

    M&A activity in the United States.About 46 percent o respondentsbelieve longer-term views o pricingis driving current transactions, whilelease drilling terms and protectingexisting acreage ranked a distantsecond at 22 percent.

    Demand for services

    In the short term, investor demand ormidstream throughput and storage,as well as oileld services (OFS), willcontinue to increase. The U.S. rig counthas more than doubled since mid-2009to over 2,000 rigs, which indicates thatproduction will continue to increasein the short term. Upstream revenuetypically outpaces spending, but 2011was an exception. As the chart shows,upstream spending in North America is

    closely correlated to revenue or largecap OFS companies.

    In 2011, however, OFS revenue wasup by 41 percent, compared to a37 percent increase in spending. Wealso note that consolidation o shalegas reserves by majors, independentsand international companies is shitingdemand disproportionately toward largeservice companies.

    We expect that ongoing shale gasdevelopment will continue to driveactivity rom OFS companies that supporthorizontal drilling and hydraulic racturingactivities. However, consolidation in theindustry may be creating more downsiderisk or smaller service providers.

    KPMG InsightsA large portion o U.S. shale reserves is now discovered, although notall have been developed. Over the long term, as these reserves aredepleted, U.S. investment in domestic shale gas will peak and investorswill look cross-border or replacement reserves. In our inormal poll4

    o shale gas industry executives, 52 percent o respondents said

    they believed this would begin to occur in 5 to 10 years, while25 percent believe it will happen sooner, within the next 5 years.

    Where will these investors set their sights? According to thesame poll, 76 percent o respondents see uture investmentoccurring in South America, while 13 percent in Asia and9 percent in Europe.

    OpportunitiesArgentina relies on natural gas or 52 percent o its energysupplies. Over the past ew years, domestic production has

    declined (see chart), and the country has become a net importero energy as a result. The Argentine government is looking toreverse the trend by encouraging development o the countryssizable, mostly untapped shale gas reserves. According to theU.S. Energy Inormation Administration, Argentina owns thethird largest known resource base o shale gas in the world.5

    Currently, local shale gas industry is in its developmentstage, and the true extent o its potential should be revealedwithin the next 18 months. The countrys shale gas basinsare located in an accessible central province close towater supplies and ar rom populated centers, suggestingsignicant long-term potential.

    Natural gas productivity in Argentina

    M&A TrendsCompanies worldwide are showing interest in Argentineshale gas projects, and investment in shale gas productionis expected to reach US$1 billion in 2012. Joint ventures arecurrently the preerred model or nancing developmentactivities.

    Global strategic players rom the India, Netherlands andUnited States, the and all over the world are seeking to enterthe Argentine shale gas sector. The sector is particularlyappealing to global technology and service suppliers.

    The companies that have expressed interest have named jointventures with established global players and/or acquisition ojunior local players, as their preerred market entry approach.In our Global Energy Institute webcast poll o key industryexecutives on 2 February 2012, 46 percent o respondentssaid they would pursue joint ventures with junior players,while 29 percent would pursue mergers and acquisitions.Fewer respondents would pursue technological support(14 percent) or greeneld projects (9 percent).

    IssuesArgentina already has a well-developed gas distributioninrastructure rom natural gas operations, which has sucient

    spare capacity to support new investments in shale gas.However, it lacks the technology, equipment and servicesrequired to support large-scale production. The industryssuccess hinges on the availability o capital, the developmento a supplier base, and the growth o a skilled labor pool.

    Current natural gas prices in Argentina are low, and prices will needto climb to make shale gas production economically viable. Initialinvestment costs are high, but margins are expected to improveover the long-term. Argentinas gas-plus regulatory rameworkpromotes better selling prices or new oers o shale gas.

    KPMG InsightsRecent discoveries and early data rom wells in productionshow great potential.

    Major international oil and gas companies are lookingat this market very closely and are creating entry

    strategies or execution in the near uture.6

    The development o shale gas resources in Argentinahas the potential to change the countrys energybalance and largely eliminate its need to import gas.Analysts are optimistic that Argentinas shale gasindustry is poised to emulate the success o theU.S. shale gas industry.7

    OpportunitiesCompared to the United States and Argentina, China is anewcomer to the shale gas industry. Over time, the countrycould become one o the worlds largest producers. Current

    estimates show Chinas shale gas reserves at up to 1,275 trillioncubic eet o shale gas reserves.8 I accurate, Chinas shale gasreserves are a dozen times greater than its conventional gasreserves and would be the worlds largest.

    China wishes to diversiy its energy mix to improve its energysecurity and decrease its reliance on supplies rom oreignsources, especially the increasingly unstable Middle East.China plans to triple its natural gas use in the coming years sothat natural gas will meet 10 percent o the countrys energyneeds by 2020.

    Shale gas exploration and development is a key component othe current 5 year plan, which estimates production will reach

    6.5 billion cubic eet in 2015 and 80 billion cubic eet in 2020rom its current production o zero.

    IssuesWith shale gas development still in its early stages, the successand speed o growth o this market within China depends on aseries o unknowns, both below and above the ground.

    Below the ground, shale gas has been identied in manylocations in China but little is known about its gas composition.Early ndings have revealed potential extraction issues thatcould prove time-consuming and costly.

    GasreservesintheSichuanbasintendtocontainhighamounts o corrosive and potentially lethal hydrogen sulphide,and levels o carbon dioxide and nitrogen could also be high.

    SomeofChinasshalegasreservesareburiedtwiceas

    deep as those in the United States, which could hinderdrilling and increase its expense as techniques used in theUnited States may not be appropriate at these sites.

    Thecountryskeygaseldsaresituatedinmountainousregions, making drilling a challenge and increasing the costo building roads, bridges, pipelines and other inrastructuresupports.

    Chinaskeyreservesarelocatedinareaswithhightectonic

    activity, which could prevent the use o existing extractiontechniques.

    Above the ground, water availability may be an issue. Thehydraulic racturing process consumes water in large quantities,but water is scarce around some o Chinas larger reserves.Other reserves located in areas such as Sichuan have water inabundance; however, China relies on these areas to grow mucho its ood supplies, including rice, which is also water-intensive.

    Chinas gas inrastructure is less developed than other countrieswith large shale gas reserves. Some analysts have suggested itspipelines will not be able to handle the capacity i targeted outputis reached. Costly, large-scale pipelines may need to be builtto convey product rom the major gas elds, which presents abarrier to entry or smaller exploration and production rms.

    In addition, the Chinese government has not issued legislationor set any clear guidance or shale gas exploration, marketapplication, and strategic planning. Even though shale gasdevelopment is part o Chinas current 5 year strategic plan,

    detailed guidance has not been provided.

    The lack o a national pricing structure is creating uncertaintyor potential investors. The government is currently

  • 7/29/2019 Gas Shale 1

    13/20

    investigating the potential structure, and it is expected to takean approach similar to its gas pricing, which some analystsbelieve puts domestically produced gas at a disadvantage.Arguing that the marginal cost o Chinas shale gas productionis signicantly higher than conventional gas, these analysts

    have called on the government to deregulate gas prices oroer subsidies to make shale gas in China commercially viable.

    M&A TrendsChinas strategy or developing its shale gas productioncapacity is to enter into strategic partnerships with oreigncompanies in order to help China acquire the necessary skillsand technologies. Foreign rms are not able to bid or actindependently or either extraction or inrastructure projects,but they can work under approved joint ventures withdomestic rms. Local companies apply or permits to exploreor and develop sites, ater which they can strike partnerships

    with oreign investors.

    A rst round o bidding or shale gas licenses was held inJuly 2011, and six companies submitted bids. It is not clearwhether the second round to be held in early 2012 will allowprivate companies to bid.

    Back in 2009, China and the United States signed anagreement designed to help China measure its shale gasreserves, encourage technical cooperation, and promote jointventures between China and the United States. Since then,Chinese state-owned gas producers have entered into majortransactions with large international players to develop shalegas reserves in China and to exploit shale gas reserves inwestern Canada and the United States. In 2011, a major U.S.oil and gas company has said it aims to spend US$1 billion ayear or the next 5 years on shale gas development in China icurrent explorations prove successul.

    KPMG Insights

    As Chinas shale gas production advances through its earlydevelopment phase, the best opportunities appear to lie in

    joint ventures between domestic and oreign rms throughboth inbound and outbound investments or extractiontechnology and potentially or inrastructure development,both o which are vital to the industrys uture.

    In light o the uncertainties noted above, the commercialmarket is in an early stage o the development and it isexpected that a ully unctioning commercial marketwill occur over an extended period o time. Whilegovernment support appears strong, it is dicultto predict how the market will develop until keypolicy decisions on pricing and subsidies havebeen announced. Chinese restrictions on oreign

    investment could also hamper the growth othe Chinese shale gas industry. In our GlobalEnergy Institute webcast poll o key industryexecutives on 2 February 2012, over halo respondents (52 percent) believe thatChinese government regulations on oreigninvestment will hold back the industry.

    Key fndings

    Long-term pricingconsiderations are primarilydriving current U.S. M&Atransactions, according to46 percent o respondentsto a KPMG Global EnergyInstitute poll o industryexecutives locatedprimarily in the

    United States.

    As the discussions within this documentshow, the United States, Argentinaand China are at quite dierent stagesin shale gas development. RecentM&A activity in each country diersaccordingly.

    IntheUnitedStates,amaturingshale

    production, and its local producersare looking or joint venture partnersto help develop the industrystremendous potential.

    Chinaisexploringitssizablereserves,

    seeking equipment and know-howthrough international partnerships.

    The trends towards increasing shale

    gas exploration, development andproduction and the related trendstoward increasing M&A activity are notconned to the United States, Argentina

    and China. They exist elsewhere inthe world, including Australia, Brazil,Canada, Eastern Europe, Mexico, theMiddle East and South Arica.

    Survey respondents believe thatinvestments and M&A activity will soonmove rom mature markets (e.g., theU.S.) to other markets where shale gaspotential has yet to reach its potential.In reality, we believe this transition hasalready begun. International shale gas

    investors who have been ocusing onthe U.S. are already looking beyond itsborders. Given the abundance o shalegas reserves, investors have a world ochoices as to where they invest next.

    So where will these investors place theirbets? Based on our survey o primarilyU.S. industry executives, more eyes areon opportunities in South Americancountries like Argentina than in the AsiaPacic and Europe. While industryexecutives in other countries may

    have alternative geographic targets,investment dollars typically tendto fow to more investor-riendlylocations, and so they are mostlikely to invest in countriesthat compete by creating theright conditions to attractinvestment.

    Compared to otherlocations, China appearsless open to oreigninvestment in shale gas

    development. Beoreplacing their bets here,investors will likely waitto see what shale gas

    pricing policies and government supportmechanisms are put in place. Investorsseem similarly wary o European shalegas opportunities due to environmentalissues and uncertainty over how theindustry will be regulated.

    On the other hand, Argentina hasactively promoted oreign investmentin its shale gas industry and oeredenthusiastic government support. Earlyindications suggest that the country

    is already drawing a larger share oshale gas investment. While the shalegas industry will continue to createopportunities in the U.S., China andaround the world, Argentina seems setto emulate the U.S. shale gas successin the near term.

    Key fndings
