1 The Energy Years Leading Trinidad and Tobago s energy sector in a time of global change By Kevin C. Ramnarine KBH Center, University of Texas at Austin January

2 Structure of Lecture The global energy context and megatrends in present Trinidad and Tobago energy sector overview Major policy decisions 2011 to 2015 High points 2011 to 2015 Low points 2011 to 2015 Lessons Learnt / Conclusion

3 What s the big idea? Oil and gas producing countries must have a competitive investment environment that attracts capital and strikes a balance between fair returns to the State for extraction of its resources and fair returns to the company for risks it has taken.

4 The global energy context and megatrends in present

5 Major energy trends driven by. Technology ( 3D seismic, microprocessing, fracking) Globalization ( access to acreage) Climate Change debate ( decarbonization) Geopolitics Increased energy demand driven by Asia (China & India, population and economic growth) Texan George Mitchell Father of Fracking

6 The Climate Change debate has dominated the global policy agenda for this decade and impacted on energy policy in most countries. There are persons who question that the burning fossil fuels has caused climate change ( anthropogenic climate change)

7 Key oil supply trends 2010 to present Supply Growth in supply outstrips growth in demand in Increased American and Iraqi production of shale oil. Oil prices collapse. Same trend for natural gas Country 2010 production / bopd 2015 production/ bpod United States % Iraq % Colombia % Saudi Arabia % OECD % OPEC % World % % change

17 Trinidad and Tobago energy sector overview

18 Trinidad and Tobago Overview Commercial Oil production started in 1908 Currently producing 71,000 bopd ( peak 1978) One Refinery capacity 165,000 bopd Currently producing 3.3 billion cubic feet of gas per day ( similar to UK and Argentina and West Virgina) Most gas produced from offshore / continental shelf by multi-nationals

19 T&T Overview continued Eleven Ammonia plants ( first 1959) Seven Methanol plants ( first 1984) One Natural Gas processing plant. Four LNG Trains ( first export 1999) Five Gas Fired power plants ( 2 GW) Main State players: Petrotrin, NGC Main MNC s: BP, Shell, BHP Billiton, EOG Resources and Repsol LNG exported mainly to South America Ammonia, methanol exported mainly to the USA Refined petroleum products exported mainly to Caribbean and USA.

27 Guiding Philosophy and Policy Framework

28 My Guiding Philosophy 1. Maintain the integrity of the Ministry of Energy ( respect is earned). 2. Appreciated that the oil and gas business is high risk and capital intensive. 3. Never compromise safety for production or results. 4. Companies will invest if they think they can get the minimum return that satisfies their shareholders. 5. Capital is mobile, it does not have to come to Trinidad goes where it is treated the best.

29 My Guiding Philosophy 6. We should be doing business with the best companies in the world. 7. Recognize the companies that have demonstrated long term commitment to Trinidad. 8. The Government is in a partnership with the companies we are not adversaries. 9. The public directly should own part of the energy sector.

30 Policy Direction Simplify petroleum taxation regime Reduction in levels of taxation. Increase cost recovery rates in PSC s. Restructure capital allowances to improve project economics. Simplify bidding process ( only 2 biddable items) Get ride of taxable PSC Vertical integration of the National Gas Company Initial Public Offerings are great vehicles to transfer wealth Empowerment of private sector partners of Petrotrin. Communicate effectively with the public and stakeholders.

35 Upstream Activity on Steroids Signed twenty one (21) production sharing contracts and/ licenses for exploration and production. This is the largest number ever signed by any Minister of Energy and Energy Affairs. These agreements constitute an investment of up to $US 2.0 billion and creates an active upstream programme for the remainder of the current decade.

36 Rig Days Took initiatives that led to a significant turnaround in upstream activity as evidenced by an increase in rig days from 1132 rig days in 2010 to 2443 rig days in In addition, there was a significant increase in acquisition of 2D/3D seismic data during the aforementioned period. 4,000 3,500 3,000 2,500 2,000 1,500 1, ,600 3,331 2,472 Rig Days ( Trinidad and Tobago) 2000 to ,369 2,501 2,214 3,274 3,409 2, ,132 2,189 2,788 2,486 2,443 2,

43 Mitsubishi of Japan invest in methanol plant Presided over the progress to Final Investment Decision (FID) of a Methanol to Di- Methyl Ether petrochemical complex by a consortium led by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical of Japan and including the Trinidad based conglomerate Massy. This investment is valued at $US 987 million and will create 2000 construction jobs and 200 permanent jobs in a depressed community in south Trinidad.

51 Deepwater Exploration Opened up Trinidad and Tobago s deepwater acreage to exploration. In total nine production sharing contracts were signed with BHP Billiton and its partners. Arising out of these nine contracts, in 2014/2015, BHP Billiton conducted the largest 3D seismic survey ever conducted by an International Oil Company (20,199 square kilometers).

52 Estimates of the Ministry Of Energy of the potential of the deepwater for oil resources range from 2.2 billion to 8.2 billion barrels of oil initially in place. Deepwater Area

53 Conclusion.the bad news Trinidad is past its peak gas production of 4.3 billion cubic feet per day in The industry will struggle to keep production above 3.5 billion cubic feet per day beyond Oil production is in continual decline due to issues around the no longer relevant business model of Petrotrin. There will be a need to rationalize Point Lisas and / or Atlantic LNG ( shut down plants). New natural gas projects beyond 2017 will not produce enough gas to offset the decline of mature gas reservoirs.

54 Areas of potential..a leader is a dealer in hope Potential for big deepwater discoveries ( BHP s drilling campaign in progress technical and geological risk) Potential for Venezuelan gas to come to T&T ( political risk). Potential to apply technology to increase oil production. ( commercial risk). There is an urgent need to privatize Petrotrin ( political risk). Partnerships with Guyana and Suriname ( political risk).
