Main Issues for Discussion
Overview| $48 trillion of cumulative investment in energy are required by 2035, an average of $1.5 trillion per year: $23 trillion in fossil fuel extraction, transport and oil refining; almost $10 trillion in power generation and a further $7 trillion in transmission and distribution.
Shares of the major fossil fuels in the global energy mix are converging, with oil, gas and coal each to make up around 27 percent by 2035, with the remaining coming from nuclear, hydro and renewables.
In this context, Eurasian energy space requires massive amounts of investment to replace aging facilities and adding more to meet the growing demand.
For instance, Russia has to invest $793 billion in the energy sector to 2035. Iran is enticing further international investment for its numerous projects. Iraq, Syria, Libya and Afghanistan need reconstruction funds for post-conflict energy and infrastructure. The $45 billion Southern Gas Corridor is in progress. Turkey seeks $120 billion for its own energy and related infrastructure over the next decade.
East Med’s resources will be unlocked only if investment decisions can be made in a timely fashion. KRG has to make final investment decision soon on gas exploration and mid-stream. New smart grids and resource efficiency projects are required across the region, as well LNG and storage facilities. The wind and solar landscape has changed significantly. Clean energy will attract $6 trillion in investment between now and 2035.
Issues for discussion
Club members and special guests drawn from the world of energy, finance and investment are convened to discuss, inter alia:
- How will Russia’s recent proposal to scrap the South Stream and create a new gas hub on the Turkish-Greek border transform the regional gas map?
- Why have dozens of public and private institutions have decided to divest fossil fuels from their portfolios? What are potential alternatives for investment re-allocated from oil, gas, and coal stocks towards low-carbon energy sources?
- What is the magnitude of major energy projects, i.e.TANAP, TAP, TAPI, Central Asia projects, Russia’s investment programme, Iran’s massive pipeline, petrochemical, upstream and power projects, new KRG energy facilities, East Med LNG and pipelines, South East Europe Transmission Network, refineries, gas storage facilities and possible M&A deals in the region?
- What types of non-traditional fresh funding sources exist for the increasing number of new energy/infrastructure projects and M&A deals in the region? What role could Energy Exchanges and trading houses possibly play?
- Where will the additional funding come from in realising Turkey’s huge energy import bill and investment needs in energy?
- Proposed actions including the possible creation of an energy fund to provide seed capital for the region’s projects and deals?

Venue: Sait Halim Pasha Palace, Yeniköy, Istanbul

November 2014 | Prepared for Bosphorus Energy Club
Low oil prices for two years – five outcomes of an $ 80 Brent world
Executive Summary
Since June 2014 oil prices have fallen from highs of $116 per barrel to $80 per barrel. Our H2 2014 forecast expects oil prices to stabilise and rise moderately from the current low levels next year, however there is a material risk that oil prices could stay lower, for longer. Here, in a sensitivity to Wood Mackenzie’s base case, we illustrate five likely outcomes of two years at $80 per
barrel Brent / $70 per barrel WTI.
Russia is vulnerable to oil price fluctuations, but the timing of the current slump could not be more problematic, as EU and US sanctions begin to bite. Russia’s economy could contract by up to 2.5% in 2015, but Vladimir Putin will remain secure. The President’s popularity at home is soaring and it would likely take serious hardship in Russia for this to change.
In the Middle East, Iran faces the prospect of a double impact of no sanctions relief just as oil prices settle into a structurally lower range. In Iraq, low prices threaten long-term production growth but could represent an opportunity for China to further extend its influence in the region. Saudi Arabia may favour low oil prices now, but longer-term will have to balance the conflicting incentives of maintaining market share in Asia, and unwillingly providing opportunities for other producer countries in the region.
Corporates will suffer, with the largest 60 companies’ cash flow falling to a deficit of US$90 billion, versus a surplus of US$70 billion at US$100 per barrel. This will postpone the positive cash flow inflection we had anticipated for many of the independents, and will exacerbate pressures on the Majors. Tight oil producers in the United States will also have to adapt, but investment and production will shift geographically rather than decline overall. Weakening oil prices are so far, not a material threat to US tight oil or the industries that surround it.
For energy importing economies in Asia Pacific, the positive impacts are stark. China pays less (in domestic currency) for its oil in 2015 than it did in 2010, when import demand was far lower. India benefits even more, in relative terms, with the cost of oil on a per barrel basis offsetting much of the fall in the value of the rupee in recent years.
Two years of Brent at $80 per barrel would represent a significant boost to the global economy, but it would also accelerate the commodity cycle. The final consequence of a period of $80 per barrel Brent is that it would be followed by a sharp recovery in oil prices. Rewards will be there for those who have been able to weather the storm.
