QATAR OIL, GAS AND PETROCHEMICAL E-GUIDE ©

MARHABA

6 GULF CAR AD M81.indd 1

8/3/21 4:07 PM

Oil, Gas and Petrochemicals Update Meanwhile Exxon Mobil CEO Darren Wood said: 'Coming out of the pandemic and the lack of investment in our industry, I think it's going to exacerbate the supply and demand tightness as the economies pick back up again. And then with time we'll see supply pickup and rebalance so we'll see both of those but in the shorter term probably higher prices.'

The International Energy Agency (IEA) released a report in May suggesting that all new investments in oil, gas and coal supply should be stopped, retiring coal-fired plants in advanced economies by 2030, and banning the sales of new internal combustion engine cars by 2035.

This statement, to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, was widely disputed by Asian energy officials. Speaking at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum, HE Saad Sherida Al Kaabi, Minister of State for Energy Affairs and the President and CEO of QP, stated that withdrawing additional investment from the oil and gas sector will cause spikes in prices and impact the supply to customers.

Benchmark crude oil prices more than doubled in Q2 2021 year-on-year, and rose to nearly USD78 a barrel by mid-July – their highest in almost three years, as OPEC and other major producers failed to strike an agreement to lift output.

Along with higher global natural gas prices due to supply issues, these price rises are a timely increase in profits for oil companies, especially after firms like BP, Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell have cut costs following the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to Reuters, the heads of top energy companies have said that benchmark oil prices could hit USD100 a barrel, with price volatility also growing due to lower investments and the energy transition.'There is quite a chance to reach USD100 but we could see again in the coming years some lows as we have been accustomed to volatility,' TotalEnergies Chief Executive Patrick Pouyanne said at the Qatar Economic Forum, Powered by Bloomberg, in June.

The last time companies were seen investing heavily was following a commodity price rally in the late 2000s, which drove oil prices to record highs of over USD140 a barrel and ignited a slew of projects.

CEO Bernard Looney commented at the Reuters Energy Transition conference in June that BP will stick to its plan to reduce oil output by 40%, approximately 1 million barrels per day, by 2030, including through the sale of oil and gas assets.

The major oil companies will provide details of their spending plans in their Q2 earnings reports.

Even with the possibility of oil reaching USD100 a barrel, it is unlikely that companies will commit to spending billions on projects with long-term returns on investment.

Short term, there is uncertainty over energy demand due to the fluctuation in COVID-19 cases around the world; longer term demand could be affected by the transition to lower carbon fuels to offset climate change.

French group Total, one of the world’s biggest energy companies, has changed its name to TotalEnergies as part of its intent to diversify towards cleaner energy sources. The company follows the rebranding of Denmark’s Dong – originating from Danish Oil and Natural Gas – to Orsted as part of a green rebrand in 2017, and Norway’s Statoil becoming Equinor in 2018.

Climate change and other global issues will be addressed at the 6th GECF Summit of Heads of State and Government, scheduled to take place in Qatar on 18 November 2021. Doha is home to the permanent headquarters of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum and the Summit is the Forum’s flagship event, taking place every two years. Doha held the first Summit in 2011.

At the first high-level meeting held in April to organise the 6th GECF Summit, GECF Secretary General Yury Sentyurin said 'The fact that we have taken the first step to organise this important ©

Oil, Gas and Petrochemicals Update

News From Qatar At the Qatar Economic Forum, Powered by Bloomberg, HE Saad Sherida Al Kaabi, Minister of State for Energy Affairs and the President and CEO of QP, stated that offers had been received for double the equity available to potential partners in the bidding process for the North Field East project.

QP had also received offtake commitments/ales and purchase agreements for double the 32 mn tons per annum (MTPA) volume on offer.

HE Al Kaabi was speaking as a panellist during a session on 'Energy Shifts' along with Ben van Beurden (CEO of Royal Dutch Shell), Patrick Pouyanné (Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies) and Darren Woods (Chairman and CEO of ExxonMobil). The session focused on the energy transition and climate change concerns driving net zero emissions targets.

Mention was made that while Qatar was investing much of its capital expenditure in LNG, investment was being made in alternatives such as solar power. Qatar started decarbonising LNG a while ago, and currently captures and sequesters 2MTPA of CO2, to increase to 9 MTPA by 2030. However, the minister expressed concern that the lack of investment in oil and gas projects could raise energy prices, due to a signifcant shortage in gas between 2025 and 2030.

In July, QP announced it had raised USD12.5 bn in a multi-tranche bond offering, the biggest emerging-market bond sale so far this year and the largest corporate issuance in the MENA region.

QP sold a four-part deal with tranches maturing in 5, 10, 20 and 30 years, with the longest portion yielding 3.3%. The company’s last dollar sale was in 2006, when it raised USD650 mn, according to Bloomberg. The proceeds from the bond offering will be used to support QP's growth plans, particularly helping Qatar pump more gas from the North Field.

The country is planning to spend USD29 bn to boost production of LNG to 110 mn tons per annum by 2027, up from the current 77 mn tons.

New contracts recently signed by QP include a 15-year LNG Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) with CPC Corporation, Taiwan for the supply of 1.25 mn tons per annum (MTPA) of LNG, starting in January 2022. Since the first LNG delivery in March 2006, CPC has received more than 63 mn tons of LNG from Qatar.

QATAR OIL, GAS AND PETROCHEMICAL E-GUIDE ©

A new, 20-year SPA has been agreed with Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS) for the supply of 2 MTPA of LNG to the Republic of Korea, to commence in January 2025. Qatar is currently the largest supplier of LNG to the Republic of Korea at more than 9 MTPA. QP is part of a consortium that has been awarded two offshore blocks in Suriname, announced by Suriname’s State Oil Company, Staatsolie. The consortium, comprising QP (20%), TotalEnergies (Operator – 40%) and Staatsolie (40%) were awarded the right to explore shallow water blocks 6 and 8, located in the southern part of offshore Suriname, close to the border with Guyana.

Blocks 6 and 8 lie immediately south of block 58, covering a combined area of around 2,750 sq km.

QP has also entered into agreements with TotalEnergies to acquire working interests in three offshore exploration blocks in South Africa. QP will hold a 25% participating interest in the South Outeniqua block, a 30% participating interest in the DWOB block, and a 29.17% participating interest in the OBD block.

The South Outeniqua block covers approximately 49,000 sq km, with TotalEnergies as the Operator and holding the remaining participating interest. It is south of the 11B/12B block where TotalEnergies, QP, Canadian Natural Resources Ltd and Main Street Ltd have announced significant gas condensate discoveries in the Brulpadda and Luiperd prospects. The DWOB and OBD blocks cover about 53,000 sq km in the Orange Basin, directly south of Namibian blocks 2912 and 2913B in which QP already holds participating interests, and close to Blocks 2913A and 2914B, into which QP’s entry was recently announced.

The Emergency Response (ER) Division at Qatargas Operating Company Limited (Qatargas) has successfully received reaccreditation from the US-based Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) of the Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE).

Qatargas first received CFAI accreditation in 2015, the first entity in the Middle East and the first industrial fire brigade in the world to receive conferment as an ‘Accredited Agency’. The CPSE provides the only accreditation programme for Fire & Rescue Emergency Management Service organisations in the world. Qatargas' reaccreditation was the culmination of an 18-month long documentation and assessment exercise which evaluated the current and future service levels of the ER Division. m

Oil and Gas Jargon

By Sarah Palmer With the oil and gas sector such a prominent part of life in Qatar, you will inevitably strike up conversation with someone working in the industry.

Drill into this reservoir of terminology!

Associated gas: natural gas found as part of, or in conjunction with, other oil constituents.

Barrels: the basic unit for measuring oil, one barrel is 159 litres or 42 US gallons.

Barrels per calendar day (b/cd): the total number of barrels processed in a refinery within a year, divided by 365 days.

Barrels per stream day (b/sd): the number of barrels processed by a refining facility within 24 hours, at full capacity under optimal conditions.

Blow-down: when condensate and gas is produced simultaneously from the outset of production.

Blow-out: when well pressure exceeds the ability of the wellhead valves to control it. Oil and gas 'blow wild' at the surface.

Derrick: the tower‑like structure housing most of the drilling controls. It is used around oil wells and other drilled holes, and is a complex set of machines specifically designed for optimum efficiency, safety and low cost.

Distillates: a liquid product condensed from vapor during distillation. Includes products similar to heating oils and diesel fuels.

Downstream: the refining of petroleum crude oil and the processing and purifying of raw natural gas, as well as the marketing and distribution of products derived from crude oil and natural gas.

Dry hole: a well found to be incapable of producing either oil or gas in sufficient quantities to justify completion as an oil or gas well.

BTU: British Thermal Unit is a measure of heating value, also used to compare energy potential in different types of fuels.

Equivalent barrels: natural gas/natural gas liquids translated into barrels of oil based on equal energy content – six thousand cubic feet of gas (6 MCF) is approximately one barrel of oil.

Catalytic cracking: large hydrocarbon molecules are broken down into smaller, more useful ones. Using a catalyst speeds up the chemical reactions in the cracking process.

Exploration: searching for oil and gas using aerial and geophysical surveys, geological studies, core testing and the drilling of test wells.

Composite barrel: a consumption weighted average of retail prices (including taxes) of the main groups of refined petroleum products.

Condensates: a mixture of propane, butane, pentane and heavier hydrocarbon fractions. Qatar Petroleum produces Deodorized Field Condensate (DFC) as a result of liquefaction of natural gas found in Qatar’s North Field, and Qatar Low Sulphur Field Condensate (QLSC).

Crude oil: a naturally occurring, unrefined petroleum product composed of hydrocarbon deposits. Crude oil can be refined to produce usable products such as gasoline, diesel and various forms of petrochemicals.

QATAR OIL, GAS AND PETROCHEMICAL E-GUIDE ©

Feedstock: a basic material used to produce goods, finished products, energy, or intermediate materials which are feedstock for future finished products in the fuel, plastic, industrial chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

Field: an area of land used to extract petroleum or gas. Qatar's proven reserves in the North Field, which it shares with Iran, have increased to 1,760 tn cubic feet (50 tn cubic metres).

Flaring: The burning of natural gas for safety reasons, or when gas cannot be transported to market or use the gas for other purposes. The practice is being reduced as pipelines are completed and due to environmental concerns.

MARHABA

8/4/21 1:21 PM

Fracking: slang for hydraulic fracturing, creating fractures in rocks and rock formations by injecting fluid into cracks to force them further open.

Fractures can also exist naturally in formations, and both types of fractures can be widened by fracking, allowing more oil and gas to be extracted from a given area of land.

Gasoline: a mixture of relatively volatile hydrocarbons, with or without small quantities of additives, that have been blended to form a fuel suitable for use in internal combustion engines; includes gasoline used in aviation.

Gross production: the total flow of natural gas from oil and gas reservoirs of associated‑dissolved and non‑associated gas.

Gusher: an oil well with great pressure meaning oil erupts out of the well head. Improved modern drilling methods mean gushers are now rare.

Kerosene: medium hydrocarbon distillates in the 150° to 280°C distillation range, used as a heating fuel, for certain types of internal combustion engines and jet fuel for aircraft turbine engines.

LNG: liquefied natural gas at a temperature of -258° F; can be stored and transported as a liquid.

Midstream: the transportation (by pipeline, rail, barge, oil tanker or truck), storage, and wholesale marketing of crude or refined petroleum products.

Natural gas: a mixture of hydrocarbon compounds and small quantities of various non‑hydrocarbons existing in the gaseous phase or in solution with oil in natural underground reservoirs.

Natural gas liquids (NGLs): reservoir gases liquefied at the surface in lease separators (which separate the well stream volume into parts defined by temperature and pressure conditions), field facilities or gas processing plants. NGLs consist of field condensates and natural gas plant products such as ethane, pentane, propane, butane and natural gasoline.

Non‑associated gas: produced from gas fields which do not produce any crude oil.

OPEC: The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is a permanent, intergovernmental organisation, created at the Baghdad Conference in September 1960 by five Founder Members: Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. Qatar joined in 1961 and ended membership in January 2019.

Probable reserves: estimated reserves factoring in geology and similar types of reservoirs.

Proven reserves: reserves shown to be technically and economically viable (usually having a better than 90% chance of being produced). Qatar has the third largest natural gas proven reserves.

Recoverable reserves: the proportion of the oil and gas in a reservoir that can be removed using currently available techniques.

Refinery capacity (operable): the maximum amount of input to crude oil distillation units that can be processed in an average 24 hour period.

Reservoir: an underground formation where commercially viable oil and gas has accumulated.

Porous rock holds the oil or gas, and a cap rock prevents its escape.

Residual fuel oil: a low-value petroleum product, a heavy oil grade by-product that remains after distillate fuel oils and lighter hyddrocarbons are used as a fuel in furnaces for power plants and industrial boilers, and also for ships, where it is known as bunker fuel.

Rig: a derrick with engine‑house and other equipment necessary for drilling oil and gas wells.

Roughnecks and roustabouts: drill crew members who work on the derrick floor.

Shrinkage: volume shrinkage due to purification and/or extraction of NGLs, gas used as input to gas‑to‑liquid plants, lease separators and any other losses caused by spillage, evaporation, etc.

Upstream: also known as the exploration and production (E&P) sector, searching for potential underground or underwater crude oil and natural gas fields, drilling of exploratory wells, and subsequently drilling and operating the wells that recover and bring the crude oil and/or raw natural gas to the surface.

Well (exploratory and development): a hole drilled for the purpose of finding or producing crude oil or natural gas, or providing services related to the production of crude oil and natural gas. m

P&A (plugged and abandoned): a depleted well or dry hole that has been filled with cement and with all surface equipment removed.

Petroleum products: processed from crude oil, unfinished oils, NGLs and other hydrocarbon compounds. Include aviation and motor gasoline, naphtha, kerosene, jet fuel, distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, liquefied petroleum gas, lubricants, paraffin wax, and asphalt. ©

Qatar Fuel Additives Company Qatar Fuel Additives Company Limited (QAFAC) was established as a Qatari joint stock company to build, own and operate facilities at Mesaieed Industrial City for the production of methanol and methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE).

Since the 1960s methanol has been produced from petroleum, naphtha and natural gas, and is a clear, colourless, flammable liquid with a characteristic odour. It is a clean energy source and a raw material for many everyday items.

Within the petrochemical industry, it is used as a raw material for manufacturing solvents, formaldehyde, methyl halide, methyl amine, acetic acid, ethyl alcohol, acetic anhydride, dimethyl ether (DME) and MTBE. The QAFAC methanol plant can produce 2,950 metric tons a day of US Federal Grade AA methanol from the natural gas provided by QP, through steam reforming, methanol synthesis and distillation. The majority is exported to the Far East, Europe, India and the GCC region.

MTBE is a chemical compound from the chemical reaction of methanol and isobutylene. Produced in large quantities, it is usually used as a fuel additive in motor gasoline, one of a group of chemicals known as ‘oxygenates’ because they raise the oxygen content of gasoline. At room temperature, MTBE is a volatile, flammable and colourless liquid that dissolves easily in water.

The QAFAC MTBE plant produces around 1,830 metric tons a day by processing methanol from the on-site methanol plant and field butane from QATAR OIL, GAS AND PETROCHEMICAL E-GUIDE ©

QP. The product is used by the QP refinery at Mesaieed as a gasoline blender as an octane enhancer and oxygenator to replace lead in the gasoline marketed in Qatar. The main international markets for MTBE are the Far East, Europe, South America and the GCC. qafac.com.qa
