THE ROLE OF NOCS AND IOCS IN STABILIZING ENERGY MARKETS Ahmed E MAZIGHI Director Planning and Studies SONATRACH Marketing Activity 9th Arab Energy Congress Doha, 9th-12th May 2010
9th Arab Energy Congress Doha, 9th-12th May 2010 OUTLINE • I. The rationale for cooperation between IOCs and NOcs • II. The relation between technology and market stabilisation • III. Technology and Cooperation between IOCs and NOCs • IV. The way forward
9th Arab Energy Congress Doha, 9th-12th May 2010 I. The Rationale for cooperation between IOCs and NOCs SUPPLY DEMAND 1- Conventional reserves concentrated in NOCs 2- Non-conventional and high carbon intensity product (EOR, Tight and Shale Gas, …) 3- Bio-Fuels & Renewable Energy • GDP • More efficiency Quantitative • Green products • Low carbon intensity • High non fuel content (Brand,…..) Qualitative
9th Arab Energy Congress Doha, 9th-12th May 2010 I. The Rationale for cooperation between IOCs and NOCs NOCs Vs IOCs objectives IOCs NOCs • Maximizing dividend to shareholders • Value based management • Maximizing revenue to the Nation • Maximizing the well being of the future generation LEVERAGES • Growth (limited by reserves access) • Business management (limited by their assets) • Innovation / Technology (Process, product) Conventionnal resources Cooperation is creating a common objective. Ex : PSC, PSA in the upstream
9th Arab Energy Congress Doha, 9th-12th May 2010 I. The Rationale for cooperation between IOCs and NOCs IOCs and NOCs have a common challenge : Providing clean products TECHNOLOGY + COOPERATION IOC’s and NOCs More and more « difficult » resources
9th Arab Energy Congress Doha, 9th-12th May 2010 II. The relation between technology and market stabilisation Traditional models depict the equilibrium between supply and demand of energy as a question of price flexibility. Price flexibility never explains more than 50% of the movements . Innovationis also a key driver. Equilibrium Innovation Price Flexibility
9th Arab Energy Congress Doha, 9th-12th May 2010 II. The relation between technology and market stabilisation A good ilustration of this phenomenom is the correlation between Price movements and technology in the oil and gas industry.

9th Arab Energy Congress Doha, 9th-12th May 2010 I. The Rationale for cooperation between IOCs and NOCs
9th Arab Energy Congress Doha, 9th-12th May 2010 III. Technology and cooperation between NOCs and IOCs Yesterday : Technology was mainly concentrated in the R&D departments of IOCs
9th Arab Energy Congress Doha, 9th-12th May 2010 III. Technology and cooperation between NOCs and IOCs Today : The game has changed 1- Most of R&D departments of IOCs have been transformed into Business Units Chevron Technology Ventures, Shell Technology Ventures…..their main business is to make discoveries and sell licences. 2- ISCs have merged and their main obective is to provide equipment and services to the Oil gas Industry with scale effects. 3- Some NOCshave madebreakthroughs : Petrobras in the Offshore, PDVSA with the Oremulsion. 4- Other NOCs (ARAMCO) created their own R&D unit (KUST).
9th Arab Energy Congress Doha, 9th-12th May 2010 III. Technology and cooperation between NOCs and IOCs Yesterday - A good example of cooperation was the Production sharing agreements (PSAs) Today - Advanced models of cooperation in the form of integrated projects from the upstream to the downstream + marketing.
9th Arab Energy Congress Doha, 9th-12th May 2010 IV. The way forward • Some examples of Cooperation potential between IOC and NOCs : • - CCS : CCS alone has already been experienced with success in • Insalah Field in Algeria. • CCS for EOR • Reservoir fracturing • Tight gas • Gas recovery technologies • Fuel craking technologies (reconversion)
9th Arab Energy Congress Doha, 9th-12th May 2010 IV. The way forward • Technology is the raw material of the oil and gas industry • It is essential to maintain the equilibrium of the industry
