Global Oil and Gas Capital Expenditure is Expected to Increase to US$XX Billion in 2013

The global oil and gas capital expenditure (capex) is expected to increase from US$XX billion in 2012 to US$XX billion in 2013, registering a growth of XX%. The global oil and gas capex first passed the US$ trillion mark in 2012 and will continue to witness incremental growth in 2013.

There are several reasons for the continued increase of the global capex. Global crude oil prices have consistently hovered above US$XX (West Texas Intermediate price) in 2012, encouraging oil and gas companies to aggressively invest in capital intensive Exploration and Production (E&P) projects in difficult environments such as deep and ultra-deep offshore regions. Without the favorable global crude oil price scenario, these projects would have been economically unfeasible. Additionally, the high demand for crude oil and natural gas is also encouraging oil and gas companies to develop unconventional oil and gas deposits such as oil sands, tight oil, shale gas, oil shale and Coal Bed Methane (CBM).

The figure below shows global oil and gas capex for the 2008-2013 period.

Global Oil and Gas Capex Year-over-year Growth

Source: GlobalData Estimates

National Oil Companies are Expected to Account for More than Half of the Total Global Oil and Gas Capital Expenditure in 2013

NOCs are expected to account for XX% of the total global oil and gas capex in 2013. NOCs are followed by Integrated Oil Companies (IOCs) with a share of XX% and independent oil companies with share of XX%.

In terms of the year-over-year increase in capex, independent oil companies dominate, with an estimated XX% growth. These will be followed by NOCs, with an estimated year-over-year capex growth of XX%, and integrated companies, with an estimated capex growth of XX%.

The figure below shows the estimated capex by the three major oil and gas company types for 2013.

Strong financial stability, state support and access to investments will boost the investment confidence of the NOCs, which are expected to continue investing heavily in oil and gas projects worldwide. Strong capex growth expected from risk-averse independent oil companies which would indicate strong market confidence and a positive outlook.

2 Introduction

2.1 Overview Global oil and gas industry capital expenditure (capex) for 2013 is estimated to continue growing steadily, driven primarily by upstream activities. Within the upstream sector, capex is estimated to increase in the offshore as well as onshore Exploration and Production (E&P) activities. Global oil and gas capex is expected to increase by XX% in 2013 over 2012.

National Oil Companies (NOCs) are expected to be the major spenders for oil and gas development globally in 2013, followed by integrated companies and independent oil companies. Independent oil companies are expected to witness the largest increase in capex in the current year over their capex in the last year. These companies are estimated to increase their capex by XX% in 2013 over their capex in 2011.

Of the global oil and gas capex, future E&P investment will be driven by the development of new oil and gas discoveries. In 2012, about XX oil and gas discoveries were announced worldwide, the majority of which were located in South and Central America (XX%), followed by the Middle East and Africa (XX%), Asia-Pacific (XX%), Europe (XX%), and North America (XX%). E&P capex is expected to increase as oil and gas companies commence the development of these resources. In addition to the development of new discoveries, the development of unconventional oil and gas and Canadian oil sand resources are also expected to remain a key focus of E&P investment in the next year.

Chapter eight highlights the key factors that will influence global oil and gas capex in 2013.

Chapter nine is the appendix of the report.



3.3 Global Onshore E&P Capex will Continue to be Higher than Global Offshore E&P Capex in 2013

The global onshore E&P capex will continue to be higher than global offshore E&P capex in 2013. The global offshore and onshore E&P capex are expected to be US$XX billion and US$XX billion respectively for 2013. The higher global E&P capex for onshore regions against offshore regions is due to several factors such as logistical convenience, comparative ease of use of technology, and increasing development activities for unconventional oil and gas in the onshore regions.

In 2013, North America, South and Central America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific are expected to witness higher capex for onshore E&P when compared to offshore E&P. In particular, North America will continue to witness the highest onshore capex in the world due to robust E&P activity in its unconventional oil and gas resources. In 2013, North America is expected to witness an onshore E&P capex of US$XX billion.

On the other hand, the Middle East and Africa is the only region in the world where offshore E&P capex is expected to be higher than the onshore E&P capex in 2013. Nigeria, Angola and Qatar will lead offshore E&P in the Middle East and Africa in 2013.

The figure and table below provide the upstream oil and gas capex by offshore and onshore for the 2008-2013 period.

4.2 Global Midstream and Downstream Capex is Expected to Witness a Year-over-Year Growth of XX% in 2013

The global midstream and downstream capex is expected to witness an year-over-year growth of XX% in 2013. The capex is expected to grow from US$XXbillion in 2012 to US$XXbillion in 2013. The capex would be mainly driven by increasing demand for petroleum products in the developing world. In particular, there has been an increase in the midstream and downstream activity in the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and South and Central America.

The global midstream and downstream capex registered a negative growth of -XX% in 2009. The capex has been witnessing a positive growth trend since 2010. During the period 2010 to 2013, the midstream and downstream capex increased at an AAGR of approximately XX%.

The figure and table below provide the trend in global capex on midstream and downstream sector for 2008-2013.

Growth Rate (year-over-year)


The refinery segment is expected to account for the majority of the capex in the midstream and downstream sectors in 2013. In particular, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia-Pacific are expected the drive the global refining capex over the next year. The countries in these regions, such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Indonesia and Malaysia, are planning major refining capacity additions in the near term, which in turn will drive the refining capex.



6.1 National Oil Companies In 2013, the total capex of NOCs is expected to be US$XX billion. The capex of NOCs would increase from US$XX billion in 2012 to US$XX billion in 2013, a growth of XX%. Some of the NOCs that are expected to witness the highest capex in 2013 include Petrobras, OAO Gazprom, and Petroleos Mexicanos.

Petrobras has announced a capex plan of US$XX billion for 2013. The capex of Petrobras will decrease from US$XX billion in 2012 to US$XX billion in 2013, a decline of -XX%. In total the company plans to invest approximately US$XX billion during the period 2012 to 2016 under its 2012-2016 Business Plan. E&P would account for majority of this investment

Source: Petrobras, 2012

In its 2012-2016 business plan, Petrobras has allocated around 60% of its planned investments for E&P, where it plans to invest around US$XX billion. Petrobras has allocated the vast majority of those funds, US$XX billion, to Brazil, of which US$XX billion is for exploration, US$XX billion is for production and US$XX billion is for infrastructure development. Petrobras is focusing its efforts on exploration in the post-salt layers and production in the pre-salt areas in offshore Brazil. The company has allocated around US$XX billion for exploration in the post-salt layer and around US$XX billion for production in the pre-salt layer. Besides this, the company also aims to invest US$XX billion in production in the post-salt areas.

OAO Gazprom has announced its plan to invest a total of US$XX billion in 2013, which is equivalent to the 2012 levels. On the other hand, the capex of Petroleos Mexicanos is expected to increase from US$XX billion in 2012 to US$XX billion in 2013, an increase of XX%.
