                               Global O&G: Iran Supply Concerns
S&P 2012 GDP ESTIMATES:                 Potentially a major supply risk in the short term While the global
                                                                                             term.
China: 7.7%-8.2%                        economy has changed substantially since the days when Arab oil embargoes
Hong Kong: 2.5%-3.0%                    could trigger a recession (as was the case in 1973), the Iranian threats to
India: 6.8%-7.3%                        close the Straits of Hormuz (SoH) in response to U.S. and EU sanctions may
Indonesia: 6.0%-6.5%                    potentially have a far larger impact on oil prices than recent experience
Japan: 1.5%-2.0%                        suggests. We expect both sides to exercise restraint in the event, as closure
Korea: 2.8%-3.3%                        of the SoH could effectively trigger war in the region, something both sides
Malaysia: 4.4%-4.9%                     can ill afford.
Singapore: 2.0%-2.5%
Taiwan: 2.3%-2.8%                       Bigger potential impact than Libyan supply losses The SoH is 21 miles
                                                                                         losses.
Thailand: 3.5%-4.0%                     wide at its narrowest point, but its shipping lanes consist of only two 2-mile-
U.S.: 2.0%                              wide stretches, with ships carrying oil to Asian markets one way, and largely
Eurozone: 0.0%                          empty tankers going the other. According to the EIA, total oil flows in the
                                        SoH amounted to 35% of all seaborne oil trade by volume, or 17 mbpd in
2012 INDEX TARGETS:                     2011. Closure of the SoH would cut off some 19% of total crude oil supply,
S&P 500: 1,400                          vs. just 2% of global production loss (or 1.6 mbpd) from the Libyan crisis,
S&P Euro 350: 1,050                     which saw Brent prices shooting up 33% between January 2011 and April
S&P Asia 50: 3,500                      2011.


                                        Asian demand should somewhat offset EU embargo . The EU accounts for
                                        18% of Iranian crude exports, based on January-June 2011 data from the
                                        EIA. The EU embargo and counter-ban by the Iranian government should
                                        displace some 450 kbpd in oil supplies, but we believe this could be
                                        somewhat absorbed by energy-hungry China and India: the former alone is
                                        projected to increase its consumption of crude oil by 530 kbpd, much of this
Energy                                  via increased imports. Any unabsorbed supply is effectively lost global
                                        supply. A side issue is the effect of the sanctions on payment for its exports,
Oil & Gas                               although we expect the Chinese government will not succumb to pressure
                                        from the Western bloc to refuse crude oil trade financing for Iran.
Marketweight
                                        Who wins? Should the SoH be blockaded, we expect a large short-term
                                        spike in crude oil prices, and this will benefit earnings and share prices for
                                        upstream producers. Over the longer term, however, substantially higher
                                        energy prices could push the global economy, already in some degree of
                                        uncertainty, into a large-scale recession and affect share prices, although
Ahmad Halim, CFA
Equity Analyst                          upstream E&P will outperform its industry peers due to the price leverage.

                                        We expect some negative impact from the EU embargo on global crude
                                        supply, depending on China and India’s willingness (and ability) to buy up
                                        Iran crudes. Still, continuing Libyan restarts and (to a more limited extent
                                        given the mismatch in European crude quality demands and Saudi excess
                                        capacity) drawdowns from OPEC spare capacity should help. We expect the
                                        Chinese energy companies to be winners, as they should be able to demand
                                        better payment terms for their crude oil imports from Iran. We prefer
                                        Sinopec (00386, HKD9.28, 4-STARS) and PTT PCL (PTT TB, THB341, 4-
                                        STARS) among the Asian integrateds, in our base case scenario.

  • 1. Global Strategy Equity Research Asia Sector Strategy February 8, 2012 Global O&G: Iran Supply Concerns S&P 2012 GDP ESTIMATES: Potentially a major supply risk in the short term While the global term. China: 7.7%-8.2% economy has changed substantially since the days when Arab oil embargoes Hong Kong: 2.5%-3.0% could trigger a recession (as was the case in 1973), the Iranian threats to India: 6.8%-7.3% close the Straits of Hormuz (SoH) in response to U.S. and EU sanctions may Indonesia: 6.0%-6.5% potentially have a far larger impact on oil prices than recent experience Japan: 1.5%-2.0% suggests. We expect both sides to exercise restraint in the event, as closure Korea: 2.8%-3.3% of the SoH could effectively trigger war in the region, something both sides Malaysia: 4.4%-4.9% can ill afford. Singapore: 2.0%-2.5% Taiwan: 2.3%-2.8% Bigger potential impact than Libyan supply losses The SoH is 21 miles losses. Thailand: 3.5%-4.0% wide at its narrowest point, but its shipping lanes consist of only two 2-mile- U.S.: 2.0% wide stretches, with ships carrying oil to Asian markets one way, and largely Eurozone: 0.0% empty tankers going the other. According to the EIA, total oil flows in the SoH amounted to 35% of all seaborne oil trade by volume, or 17 mbpd in 2012 INDEX TARGETS: 2011. Closure of the SoH would cut off some 19% of total crude oil supply, S&P 500: 1,400 vs. just 2% of global production loss (or 1.6 mbpd) from the Libyan crisis, S&P Euro 350: 1,050 which saw Brent prices shooting up 33% between January 2011 and April S&P Asia 50: 3,500 2011. Asian demand should somewhat offset EU embargo . The EU accounts for 18% of Iranian crude exports, based on January-June 2011 data from the EIA. The EU embargo and counter-ban by the Iranian government should displace some 450 kbpd in oil supplies, but we believe this could be somewhat absorbed by energy-hungry China and India: the former alone is projected to increase its consumption of crude oil by 530 kbpd, much of this Energy via increased imports. Any unabsorbed supply is effectively lost global supply. A side issue is the effect of the sanctions on payment for its exports, Oil & Gas although we expect the Chinese government will not succumb to pressure from the Western bloc to refuse crude oil trade financing for Iran. Marketweight Who wins? Should the SoH be blockaded, we expect a large short-term spike in crude oil prices, and this will benefit earnings and share prices for upstream producers. Over the longer term, however, substantially higher energy prices could push the global economy, already in some degree of uncertainty, into a large-scale recession and affect share prices, although Ahmad Halim, CFA Equity Analyst upstream E&P will outperform its industry peers due to the price leverage. We expect some negative impact from the EU embargo on global crude supply, depending on China and India’s willingness (and ability) to buy up Iran crudes. Still, continuing Libyan restarts and (to a more limited extent given the mismatch in European crude quality demands and Saudi excess capacity) drawdowns from OPEC spare capacity should help. We expect the Chinese energy companies to be winners, as they should be able to demand better payment terms for their crude oil imports from Iran. We prefer Sinopec (00386, HKD9.28, 4-STARS) and PTT PCL (PTT TB, THB341, 4- STARS) among the Asian integrateds, in our base case scenario.
