Key Points to Remember
1. Deepwater production is 7% of global supply
2. Offshore reserves are a critical part of major E&P portfolios
3. Excessive costs/inefficiencies crept into sector during the $100+ oil environment
4. Industry is proactively responding to commodity price pressures
5. Breakeven commodity prices for offshore programs are declining
6. Unprecedented decline in E&P exploration spending will create pent up demand and a future snapback in spending
Outlook for Offshore E&P
23
• Shell has stated that deepwater is a key driver of growth– “Our growth priorities follow two strategic themes: integrated
gas and deepwater. These will provide our medium-term growth and we expect them to become core engines in the future.”
• Shell’s recent acquisition of BG aligns with the company’s priorities in deepwater, particularly in Brazil– “Brazil is an absolutely outstanding upstream province … [and] at
this moment is the most exciting part of the industry.”– “The potential is absolutely gigantic – there is much more to
come.”
Importance of Deepwater
24
Other major E&Ps have made similar comments YTD regarding the importance of deepwater projects to future growth
– BP: “In order to deliver long-term growth, we will continue to maintain a disciplined investment approach into three distinctive classes of assets: deepwater, gas value chains and giant fields. We will continue to maintain a balanced portfolio of opportunities.”
– Chevron: “New supply will increasingly come from more complex and remote sources with higher full-cycle development costs [including] arctic, deepwater, heavy, sour and the like.”
– Total: “A new direction is being taken to carry out deep offshore operations in even deeper waters … and at greater distances for multi-phase production transport … which is fully in line with the ambitious goals of [the company’s] exploration and production [business] and supports major technology-intensive assets such as Libra in Brazil.”
Importance of Deepwater
25
• BP Mad Dog: Phase 2– Cost estimates reduced to less than $10 billion from previous
estimate of $22 billion– Project re-engineering through standardization and scope
optimization, coupled with industry deflation, resulted in significantly less capital required to develop approximately 90% of resources
• Shell Appomattox– 20% reduction in project costs from supply chain savings, design
improvements, etc.
• Total Block 32– Capital expenditure estimate reduced by $4 billion to $16 billion– Optimized project design and contracting strategy
• Statoil– “Standardization is the new innovation.”
Customers Re-Engineering Projects
26
Recent strategic combinations/alliances among service companies to drive greater efficiencies and lower the breakeven commodity prices for projects:
• Schlumberger/Cameron – strategic innovation, efficiencies and cost reductions in deepwater projects; driving down breakeven commodity price levels
• GE Oil & Gas/McDermott – improve design/planning of offshore oil and gas field developments
• OneSubsea/Subsea 7 – enhance project delivery, improve recovery and optimize the cost and efficiency of deepwater subsea developments
• FMC Technologies/Technip – overhaul subsea field operations to drive efficiencies
• Baker Hughes/Aker Solutions – develop technology for production solutions that will boost output, increase recovery rates and reduce costs for subsea fields
• Schlumberger/OneSubsea/Helix – optimize the cost and efficiency of subsea well intervention systems
Service Sector Response
27
• Shallow water well programs have lower breakeven commodity price points on average than deepwater projects– less complex drilling requirements, shallower water depths and greater
access to existing infrastructure
• More diverse customer base; shallow water demand a function of customer- and region-specific factors– increased rig demand in the Middle East from NOCs– leases requiring continued drilling in areas like North Sea and West
Africa have stabilized demand as exploration capex has been reduced– well intervention now more economic in lower day rate environment– U.S. Gulf of Mexico and Asia Pacific markets are challenged due to
capex reductions and uncontracted newbuild supply, respectively
• Drillers with established operational and safety track records have an advantage in contracting rigs– zero newbuilds being built by speculators have been contracted

• ~50% of these rigs are estimated to require a major survey for recertification within one year of contract expiration
• These surveys could require significant capital investment to meet classification requirements that may prompt more rig retirements
