Oil Shortages to Reappear in 2011, Goldman Sachs SaysJan. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said that shortages will reappear in the crude oil market as supply fails to keep pace with a recovery in demand.Global oil consumption will return to levels seen before the financial crisis by the third quarter of this year, Goldman analyst Jeffrey Currie said in a presentation in London today. At the same time, projects to bring new oil to consumers are still lagging as a result of the credit crunch, he said.“By 2011, the market is back to capacity constraints,” Currie said in slides shown with the presentation. “The financial crisis created a collapse in company returns which has significantly interrupted the investment phase.”Crude oil futures traded around $78 a barrel in New York today, having recovered 78 percent last year with the passing of the biggest economic shock since World War II.Investment into new oil capacity is being held up because “political impediments on the flow of capital are still very large,” Currie said at the conference.Foreign companies have difficulties exploring for oil in Saudi Arabia and Iran, the holders of the two largest reserves, because of the state’s control of production in the former and economic sanctions against the latter.“It’s as good as it’s going to get right now in terms of supply growth,” Currie said.Last month Goldman predicted that crude would average $90 a barrel in 2010 and $110 per barrel in 2011. That makes Goldman’s outlook for this year joint-highest among 38 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.

Die EIA prognostiziert für die zweite Jahreshälfte einen durchschnittlichen Ölpreis von 81 Dollar je Barrel und für 2011 von 84 Dollar je Barrel. „Wir rechnen mit einer schrittweisen Verknappung des Ölangebots in 2010 und 2011, da wir von einer anhaltenden Erholung der Weltkonjunktur und einem damit verbundenen Anstieg der Ölnachfrage ausgehen“, so die EIA.
Oil exploration costs rocket as risks riseChristopher Johnson - AnalysisLONDONThu Feb 11, 2010 7:07am ESTLONDON (Reuters) - Finding oil and gas to replace the world\'s fast dwindling reserves is increasingly risky as rigs probe areas once seen as too difficult or too dangerous, and costs are rocketing, which could imperil future supply......The cost of discovering each new barrel of oil and gas has risen three-fold over the last decade as technology has pushed the frontiers of exploration into ever more remote areas.As old fields run dry, oil companies are drilling wells in some of the most inhospitable regions, where political, physical, geological, geographical, technical and contractual risks are high, and they have had remarkable success.... the cost of this success is staggering, and unless consumers pay more for oil in future, some analysts think we could face an energy supply crunch within a few years.\"The age of cheap oil has gone and it is not going to come back,\" said Paul Stevens, senior research fellow at the Royal Institute of International Affairs at Chatham House in London.\"The world is not going to run out of oil tomorrow, but it is more and more expensive to find and will continue to be so,\" he said. \"The worry is that investment may be squeezed as risks rise, and that could bring us to a looming supply crunch.\"...ESCALATING COSTS...\"Easy oil has been over for a while and the inexorable shift is to places with political, physical or geographical risks, and translates into higher costs. Finding oil is more difficult.\"Most oil industry analysts are skeptical of the \"Peak Oil\" theory that suggests that the world is running out of oil. They argue there is no shortage of oil, but agree it is getting harder and harder to extract and ever more expensive.
Today, the entire field still contains a great deal of crude oil but it is much harder to get and the production rates continue to fall off. Halliburton\'s mandate will be to deal with higher and higher water cuts, utilize all known new technology to hold rates as high as possible and stimulate wells as required. The total number of wells drilled in Ghawar exceeds one thousand including hundreds of vertical wells that have either been abandoned or converted to horizontals. Now Halliburton will drill even more trying to improve rate and lessen decline. It is a good, long-term contract and a tall order for the company.
Saudi crude use could boost global demandWorld\'s largest exporter may need to burn oil to meet growing electricity demand\"If Saudi Arabia keeps up with a recent trend of burning crude to support peak power generation, summer seasonality in global oil markets could become even more marked — and bullish — in the coming years,\" Lawrence Eagles, a New York-based analyst for the US bank, said.Peak crude demand in Saudi Arabia could reach 900,000-1.2 million barrels a day in the summer of 2012 as generators burn more crude to make up for slower growth in gas output, JPMorgan said.

The Next Crisis: Peak Oil\"I see many parallels with the credit crunch here. Both crunches have to do with giant industries getting their asset assessment wrong in a systemic and ruinous manner. In the case of the investment banking industry, we now know--with blinding hindsight--that such a horror is possible. Ahead of the financial crisis, whistles were blown.\"
...Der Ölmarkt dürfte im laufenden Jahr durch ein Nachfrageplus von 2 mbpd und einer Ausweitung des Angebots von ca. 1 mbpd bestimmt werden. Wir rechnen im Jahresdurchschnitt mit einem Angebotsdefizit von rund 1 mbpd. Dieses Defizit dürfte spätestens dann dazu führen, dass die Ölpreise wieder steigen, wenn sich die entsprechenden Angebotskürzungen auch in nachhaltig fallenden Lagerbeständen widerspiegeln. Wir rechnen ab dem zweiten Halbjahr 2010 damit, dass sich die Lagerbestände merklich ermäßigen. Wie schnell und wie stark der spätestens im zweiten Halbjahr 2010 zu erwartende weitere Ölpreisanstieg ausfällt, dürfte insbesondere davon abhängen, inwiefern sich mit Blick auf das Jahr 2011 die konjunkturellen Perspektiven erhärten. Sofern sich tatsächlich (wie vom IWF prognostiziert) ein Weltwirtschaftswachstum von mehr als 4% auch für das Jahr 2011 abzeichnet und die Ölnachfrage sich von Seiten der Emerging Markets weiter dynamisch entwickelt, dürften auch dreistellige Ölpreise wieder in Reichweite kommen. Mittelfristig scheint damit für den Ölpreis weiteres Aufwärtspotenzial zu bestehen.
