12. 12 Economic Growth Patterns Are Shifting
13. 13 ... And Energy Demand Growth Follows As incomes rise so does demand for energy
Reference case projections for world energy demand show roughly a 50-60 percent increase in demand from 2005 to 2030.
For the first time in history, non-OECD energy demand will exceed OECD energy demand.
This has geopolitical implications as well

14. 14 Range of Projections Point to Growing Demand Wide range of expectations about future energy demand levels.
These outlooks are from the United States Energy Information Administration and the International Energy Agency ( a cooperative grouping of most OECD members) .
These projections show significant long-term growth in energy demand.
At the low end of these projections there is still a 34 percent increase in global energy demand to 2030.
Equivalent to volume gain in excess of what the U.S. currently consumes
For context about what this means in terms of energy demand,
Mid-range case for oil in 2030 world consuming about 57,000 gallons of oil per second. Wide range of expectations about future energy demand levels.

15. 15 Coal, Oil, and Natural Gas Will Remain Indispensable This is the IEA reference case outlook
Generally indicative of most of the outlooks reviewed.
Significant growth in non-fossil fuel energy sources
More is projected.
Although the share of non-fossil fuels is growing rapidly
Fossil fuels will continue to play a significant role through 2030.
The hard truth about demand:
Fossil fuels are indispensable to satisfy demand as global prosperity and incomes increase. This is the IEA reference case outlook

16. 16 The Hard Truth: Supply The world is not running out of energy resources, but
there are accumulating risks to continuing expansion of oil
and natural gas production from the conventional sources
relied upon historically. These risks create significant
challenges to meeting projected total energy demand.

17. 17 Wide Range of Projections Historic assessments of ultimate recoverable resources for oil from the U.S. Geological Survey
These estimates increase over time due to:
Changes in methodology
Increases in geological knowledge and data,
As well as advances in technology.
Just over one trillion barrels of it has been produced to date.

Here are two alternative assessments ( refer to graph )
High and a low.
The difference between these estimates is significant because varying resource estimates can lead to different oil production forecasts.

19. 19 Risks Reflected in Range of Production Projections Total global liquids production forecast to 2030 includes a broad range of views.
Spans from 80 million bpd to more than 130 million bpd
The study team collected data from a diverse set of sources including:
Integrated forecasts from the IEA and EIA
Other publicly available sources such as ASPO
(?) and aggregated proprietary data from international energy companies and consultants.
This range reflects different assumptions about
Decline rates in the existing production base
Risks in the current reserve estimates and their conversion to production
Technology role to enhance recovery from existing fields
The rate and timing of major investments
The timing and scale of new discoveries
The role of unconventional fuels in meeting overall liquid production
Aggregated proprietary data gathered from the International Energy Companies
provided a unique perspective in this study. (?)
The IOC average of 107 MBD falls below the EIA reference case - by about 10 million barrels a day.
Equivalent to the current production of Saudi Arabia.

20. 20 Range of Global Supply Projections – Gas Like oil, natural gas has a broad range of supply projections.
Majority of forecasts lie above the yellow historical trend line
Forecasts and the estimated resource base indicate meeting future demand to 2030.
To meet these mid-range forecasts we will consume approximately 50 percent of the existing proved reserve base.
Implication is, a significant amount of additional discovery and development required to replace reserves
Unlike the case with oil, gas is less developed on a global scale
Amount of infrastructure that must be added on a global basis, pipelines, LNG, et cetera, is significant and massive.

21. 21 The Hard Truth: Energy Sources To mitigate these risks, expansion of all economic energy
sources will be required, including coal, nuclear, biomass,
other renewables, and unconventional oil and natural gas.
Each of these sources faces significant challenges
including safety, environmental, political, or economic
hurdles, and imposes infrastructure requirements for
development and delivery.
This leads us to a second hard truth about energy sources.

22. 22 All Sources of Energy Will Be Needed You’ve seen this data before in the demand section
This is a different representation.
The key message is ,
Whether it’s petroleum, gas, coal, or other sources of energy, we are going to need them all.
Given the anticipated and projected demand rates, no one segment can be missing in order to meet them.

23. 23 Contribution of Unconventional Liquids
Unconventional liquids will be an important contribution to supplies
The EIA reference case projects approximately 9.5 million barrels a day of “unconventional liquids.”
Significant differences across the spectrum of forecasts relates to:
Assumptions about timing and investment in these unconventional fuels
Detailed topic papers assess each of these alternatives.

A large and complex infrastructure including transportation, storage, manufacturing, and distribution will be required to support future growth.
Infrastructure is not accounted for in many forecasts, including integrated outlooks
(?)The combination of
Significant growth in supply
Geographic shifts in demand centers
Growth of unconventional resources,
All points to a need for massive infrastructure investment.

25. 25 The Hard Truth: Energy Security "Energy Independence" should not be confused with
strengthening energy security. The concept of energy
independence is not realistic in the foreseeable future,
whereas U.S. energy security can be enhanced by
moderating demand, expanding and diversifying domestic
energy supplies, and strengthening global energy trade
and investment. There can be no U.S. energy security
without global energy security.

26. 26 Oil Resource Concentration – conventional
Many of the risks to energy security are “above ground,”
example, the geographic distribution of resources.
Conventional oil production in traditional areas continues to decline,
Available resources increasingly concentrated in
Middle East
Former Soviet Union
Incremental oil demand comes from emerging economies
Conventional oil production shifts to a few major oil producing countries
(?)
Add unconventional resources – such as oil sands, bitumen or oil shale –
Situation improves for North and South America.
Increasing unconventional production at scale requires long lead times and carries its own challenges. Oil Resource Concentration – conventional

27. 27 Global Oil Trade Global Oil Flows
Shifting demand and supply patterns will lead to shifting flows of oil and gas.
If we compare oil flows today to what it might look like by 2030, (?)
More long-haul cargoes will be shipped from Persian Gulf, Russia and the Caspian region.
The shift in demand and supply raises the question of whether the rules of the international oil game will change
Or have the rules already started to change, with
Market-driven trade and investment no longer a lofty, universally-held, objective.
Issues like resource nationalism that limit access for development has renewed importance. Global Oil Flows

32. 32 U.S. Human Resources Challenge Oil industry experienced hiring surge in late 70’s and early 80’s
Followed by an extended period of decline resulting in the peak evident in this age distribution.
Recent influx of new talent has not made up for decades of depressed hiring activity.
Over half of today’s workforce is eligible for retirement within the next 10 years
Often referred to as “the big crew change”.
The workforce must be replenished
This challenge is exacerbated by an overall shortage of science and engineering graduates
Particularly women and minorities.
Additional challenges include the industry’s image and competition from other industries.

35. 35 Growing concern that climate is warming and CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere play a role.
The challenge of significantly reducing CO2 emissions is unprecedented and will require:
Global, broad actions on multiple fronts
Long time horizons
Major additional investments
Carbon dioxide emissions from continuing use of fossil fuels are a growing concern
Pragmatic approach to carbon management taken, including
Technical, environmental and regulatory considerations
Distinguished team of diverse experts from within and outside the oil & gas industry
Several factors combine to make this a long term and global challenge, including
the fact that atmospheric concentrations are :
Cumulative,
Long lasting and
Don’t conform to geographic boundaries.
The scale and complexity of the challenge to meaningfully reduce carbon emissions is daunting.
For perspective:
US currently emits 6.3 billion tons of CO2, or 115 lbs per person per day, or 20 times the daily solid waste of an average person.
In terms of sequestration volumes, one 1 GW coal fired power plant produces 150,000 bbls of liquefied CO2 per day.

42. 42 Moderate Demand Growth Improve efficiency in U.S. residential and commercial
sectors by encouraging states to implement and
enforce more aggressive energy efficiency building
codes, updated on a regular basis.
Second pillar is to improve efficiency in the U.S. residential and commercial sectors which consume about 40 percent of U.S. energy.
Three steps to achieving this.
Update building codes to reflect cost effective energy building technologies that have outpaced US government standards.
Enforce these building codes to ensure that all new buildings comply with updated energy code requirements.
Develop new energy efficiency standards for appliances, such as digital products, not currently covered.

45. 45 Expand and Diversify Supply Reduce declines in U.S. conventional oil and natural
gas production.
Increase access for new energy development. The first recommendation to reduce the declines in the conventional U.S. oil and gas production.
The U.S. is the largest historical producer of oil and gas
Third largest producer in the world
Efforts to retain the U.S. conventional production base will contribute significantly to stable supply
Examples:
Applying enhanced oil recovery techniques to recover more hydrocarbons from the existing resource base.
Maintaining production from marginal wells which contribute around 17% of total US production
Access should be expanded to the most favorable oil and natural gas basins.
To support this goal:
Conduct national and regional oriented resource and market assessments to identify biggest opportunities
Use technology and operational advancements to allow environmentally responsible development The first recommendation to reduce the declines in the conventional U.S. oil and gas production.

Diversify long-term energy production
Accelerate development of energy from biomass
Enable the long-term environmental viability of coal for power, fuel, and feedstock
Expand domestic nuclear capability United States has unique and material unconventional resources.
One of them is biomass
Study recommends the accelerated development of biomass including
Technology for growing and converting energy crops
Developing the infrastructure required to bring biofuels to market
(?)
The second unique resource is coal.
U.S. is one of the world’s largest coal producers
By some measures, the largest reserve base.
Most projections indicate coal will contribute long term to power generation and fuel production
Coal must be environmentally viable and carbon management must be addressed.

54. 54 Reinforce Capabilities to Meet New Challenges
Improve the quality of energy data and information.
Develop a comprehensive forecast of U.S.
infrastructure requirements. Scarcity of the data from which parties make recommendations fuels diversity of opinions
For supply the USGS should take the lead in developing a new inventory of global endowment including unconventional resources
Infrastructure, a critical piece of the energy chain:
Historically been neglected
Requires concerted effort to forecast future infrastructure needs
Critical to the US particularly with respect to electrical demand and alternative fuels.

60. 60 All Strategies Are Essential Illustrating potential effects of implementing the recommended NPC strategies
EIA reference case -- liquid fuels demand is projected to grow to around 25 MBD by the year 2030.
(?)
Supply side, domestic production of liquid fuels grows:
Unconventional fuels, including biofuels, offset the decline in domestic conventional production.
Gap between domestic supply and demand is still growing
Bridging that gap relies upon US interaction with global markets
( ? )
Implementing the NPC recommended strategies will have a dramatic impact
Demand moderation reduces the slope of the upper curve, as requirements are reduced.
Moderating the decline of conventional supplies, and further expanding and diversifying domestic sources, will change the lower curve.
Combined effect of the strategies will reduce the gap between domestic supply and demand by about one third over the time period
Improving the outlook for energy availability , reliability , cost and environmental impact. Illustrating potential effects of implementing the recommended NPC strategies
