On Nights Like This ... Nothing About The Bakken --

If you came here looking for the Bakken, scroll to the sidebar at the right or scroll down.  There's nothing in the Bakken in this post...

.. we're starting to get summer weather here in north Texas -- hot summer days, hot summer nights .... great nights to go cruising ....

... and listening to songs like this played loud .. just as you pull into a Sonic ...

If you don't play this at least three times in a row, you're not playing it loud enough.

And with that, I'm out of here. See you tomorrow.

House Of Saud In Extremis

Locator: 10010SAUDI.

The original post was dated May 9, 2016.  This page was originally linked at the sidebar at the right as "Saudi (Re)Surgence," following it's trillion-dollar mistake, the 2014 - 2016 debacle. Saudi started to recover from the debacle by 2018 or so but then inexplicably tried to destroy US shale again, in early 2020, resulting in a plunge in oil prices worldwide. At one time, WTI actually went negative.

This post, as of today, May 25, 2020, will now take on a broader, longer range outlook. 

Saudi's very continued existence depends short-term (between 2020 and 2022) on the price of oil, and longer term (after 2022) on whether the country can diversify away from an economy solely based on production and exporting of oil. The success of Prince MbS' Vision 2030 plan is absolutely critical. The Saudi Aramco IPO was part of that plan.

My price points for WTI:
  • $30 - $39: US shale survives;
  • $40 - $49: US shale shows life;
  • $50 - $59: US shale thrives;
  • $60 - $69: US shale does very well;
Both Russia and Saudi Arabia need to see Brent at $60, and even that is barely enough for Saudi Arabia. 

If I can have only one metric to follow Saudi's long term prospects, it would be Saudi's monthly foreign reserve assets.

The House of Saud is in deep, deep trouble

Policy: Saudi Arabia does not openly publish the amount of assets it holds within its sovereign wealth fund, known as the Public Investment Fund (PIF). The Institute of International Finance estimated in a report in June that the kingdom has assets worth around $300 billion with roughly a quarter of its holdings overseas. The Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute puts the figure closer to $320 billion. December, 2019. Link here.

February 24, 2017: at Reuters -- 
... misgivings among substantial parts of the public and the business community about the sale. Some fear Riyadh is relinquishing its crown jewels to foreigners cheaply at a time of low oil prices. Those misgivings are not likely to block the IPO, which is a central part of a drive to make the economy more efficient and diversify it beyond oil exports. Since 2015, the government has shown it is willing and able to carry out contentious reforms, such as cuts to civil servants' financial allowances. But the public criticism, rare in a country where there is usually little open debate about government policies, could influence the way the IPO is structured. Up to 5 percent of the company is due to be sold next year, with listings in Riyadh and at least one foreign market.

June 1, 2020: Saudi foreign exchange reserves fall again. Around $40 billion in foreign current reserves were transferred to the kingdom's wealth fund in March-April, 2020. Money needed to finance an investment spree by its sovereign wealth fund. --Bloomberg.

Net foreign assets in the Arab world's biggest economy declined by $20.9 billion in April, a decrease of 4.5% from the previous month, according to data released Sunday by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority. The fall follows a $27 billion plunge in March, when the stockpile shrank at the fastest pace in at least two decades.

"We're still in a comfortable situation," the central bank's governor, Ahmed Alkholifey, said in an interview with Al-Arabiya television on Monday. The change in the level of reserves between the end of May and the end of April is "not significant" and the stockpile is still enough to cover more than 40 months of imports, he said.

May 16, 2016: GS "talking up oil" as the IPO is being finalized.

May 10, 2016: update here. Data points from the article:
  • "less than 5% of the company's value"
  • a single domestic listing; a dual listing with a foreign market (interesting, huh? A and B shares?)
  • Salman's reform drive to address falling oil revenue and sharp fiscal deficits
  • Aramco to expand globally via joint ventures in Asia and North America (US, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, China)
  • going public will require the company to release sensitive reserves data (something tells me the data will be less than "helpful")
  • company's valuation based on a) oil price expectations; and, b) Saudi Arabia's proven oil reserves
  • Saudi reserves (rounded)
    • 800 billion discovered
    • 140 billion already produced
    • 260 billion considered "proven" (industry term for reserves that can definitely be extracted)
    • 400 billion "could probably extract"
    • 100 billion "hope to be added by 2025 by increasing recovery rate by 50 - 70 percent using new technology
  • expects global demand to grow by 1.2 million bopd by end of 2016
  • maximum sustainable capacity stays at 12 million bopd; total capacity of 12.5 million bopd
  • 2015: 10.2 million bopd (see graph below; also at this post)
  • expansion of Khurais oilfield will come on stream in 2018; latest stage in this expansion project at the southeastern Shaybah oil field would be finished "in a couple of weeks"
  • increased capacity of 250,000 bopd will take Shaybah to 1 million bopd; to compensate for falling output at other fields as they mature
  • SABIC: state-run petrochemical and metals conglomerate; partner; downstream project to cost up to $30 billion
  • a "huge" ship repair and shipbuilding complex at Ras al-Khair on the kingdom's east coast to be fully operational by 2021; first phase to be completed by 2018; will eventually make oil rigs and tankers (both of which are now way over supplied)
  • shipbuilding complex would create 80,000 jobs; would allow Saudi Arabia to reduce its imports by $12 billion; will increase the country's GDP by $17 billion

The above graphic has now been updated.

Original Post
 
I track the 2014 - 2016 slump in oil prices here. Note the time frame: 2014 - 2016.

Once the Saudi Aramco IPO is "listed" I will add a new category to follow at the link. I am not quite sure how I will label it or "pigeon-hole" it. For now, I will call it the Saudi (Re)surgence but will probably call it something else once the (desert) dust settles, perhaps Salman's Folly or Salman's Strategic Plan, depending upon the mood I'm in. 

We can start with this story being reported by CNBC, a typical superficial story (much like my blog) but one that will develop over time. In this story, an "analyst" provides some opinion on what the shakeup in the Saudi government portends. This is the 30-second soundbite, the elevator speech: "you're going to see a much more robust Saudi Arabia going forward. There's no question about it."

Or perhaps we can start with this story also being reported by CNBC, another superficial story (but better than the "more robust Saudi Arabia going foward" story. The 30-second soundbite, the elevator speech for this story:
While newly appointed [oil minister] is a capable technocrat, he is unlikely to have the independent authority of his predecessor. Importantly, (the 30-year-old Mohammad bin Salman) is more focused on ending Saudi's dependence on hydrocarbons through sweeping reform and maintaining market share versus Iran than he is on pursuing higher oil prices. While it makes for a big news headline, it does not represent a shift in the Kingdom's current oil policy."
Let's drop back and think about this. If you are a prince and living the lifestyle of a playboy and it's clear that no matter how bad things get, you are set for life. If you are 80 years old, there is no question that you will outlive any problems that occur "now."

Something had to have happened that convinced at least a few princes that things might be more dire than the rest realized.

Despite all the upheaval in the Mideast, there seems to have been two "givens": the United States would always protect Israel and Saudi Arabia militarily. Israel proved that it could take care of itself pretty well. Saudi Arabia -- without oil -- no one cared about. Saudi -- with oil -- becomes a completely different story. Unlike Israel, Saudi Arabia never worried about its own defense: it had the assurance that the United States would protect it no matter what.

Then two things happened. Maybe the two were simply coincidental; maybe there was cause and effect between the two. For the purpose of this discussion, it doesn't matter. What matters is the outcome.

The two "things" that changed for Saudi Arabia:
  • Iran began to flex its muscles
  • the US explicitly stated that it was no longer a guaranteer of Saudi's existence.
For a 30-year-old prince who actually thought about these things, it was no longer a matter of living out his life as a playboy; it was a realization that Saudi's very existence was at stake.

It is fortunate for Saudi Arabia that the "22nd Amendment to the US Constitution" limits a president to two terms in office, a total of eight years. Time is running out for President Obama's goal to elevate Iran to the lone superpower in the Mideast.

It's unfortunate for Saudi Arabia that most folks see Hillary Clinton's adversary as an unelectable buffoon. Unless I'm misreading the tea leaves, Saudi Arabia has to assume Hillary will be the next president and Hillary will continue the policies advocated by Obama.

It's possible I am quite wrong on this: Jarrett has strong ties to Iran; Huma has equally strong ties to Saudi Arabia.

But Jarrett has had eight years to help Iran get where it is today. Huma will arrive on the scene late, and possibly in a greatly weakened position, especially if the Clintons/DOJ/FBI need a scapegoat.

So, at the end of the day, reading the tea leaves, the 30-year-old prince knows his #1 job is to provide military security for his country. The US will no longer provider that security.

There is an element to truth about Salman seeing the need to end Saudis dependence on hydrocarbons but the question has to be asked, "why now?"

The 800-pound gorilla in the Mideast is the fact that Saudi's sovereignty is no longer guaranteed by America, under the Obama Doctrine.

Salman may want to end his country's dependence on hydrocarbons but he has a bigger problem: his dependence on the United States.

By the way, as a digression: can anyone name one thing that Saudi Arabia has that isn't related to hydrocarbons. Yes, there is one: Mecca as a travel destination. More on that later. 

As I was saying: Salman may want to end his country's dependence on hydrocarbons but he has a bigger problem: his dependence on the United States for Saudi's very existence.

Two recent stories bring this home, both of which have been reported in the past week or so as headline stories even though neither story is particularly new.

The first story: Saudi is working closely with Israel with regard to national security for both countries.

The second story: the 30-year-old has not ruled out Saudi Arabia "going nuclear" as they say.

********************************
Salman's Strategic Plan

The second linked story has it right: Salman's Stragetic Plan will get a lot of headlines, but not much will change. Certainly not much will change in the near term, and it's unlikely that his plans will amount to much in the long term, if his goal is to wean Saudi Arabia off hydrocarbons.

He can put some petrochemical plants in his country; he can add some refineries. He can expand operations in the US. But guess what: it's still a hydrocarbon-based economy. Saudi is nothing without oil and sand.

Because of the trillion-dollar mistake, Saudi Arabia has had to postpone/cancel solar energy programs. Saudi had hoped to sell solar energy to the rest of the region. Not gonna happen any time soon.

As an example of how limited their options, it appears (and I'm not making this up), Salman hopes to increase tourism to his desert kingdom. He feels that the required trek to Mecca by believers can be greatly expanded.

If Salman's stated intent is to get the country off its dependence of hydrocarbon, he is certainly taking baby steps. The IPO is projected to be worth no more than 5% of the value of the variously reported $2 to $3 trillion. My hunch: about 3% will be offered -- 3% of $3 trillion = $100 billion in round numbers.

But this is all getting deep into the weeds. Folks are asking the wrong question: why is Salman offering an IPO in the first place? Because Saudi made a trillion-dollar mistake and is burning through cash.

It was the trillion-dollar mistake that forced them to raise money through an IPO in the first place.

But even that is missing the bigger story. Why does Salman need to raise cash?

Salman needs cash to fund his military in light of a) a stronger Iran; and, b) losing the US security umbrella. "Going nuclear" requires a lot of money.

Oil discoveries drop to 60-year low, Financial Times:
Discoveries of new oil reserves have dropped to their lowest level for more than 60 years, pointing to potential supply shortages in the next decade
Oil explorers found 2.8 billion barrels of crude and related liquids last year. This is the lowest annual volume recorded since 1954, reflecting a slowdown in exploration activity as hard-pressed oil companies seek to conserve cash.

Most of the new reserves that have been found are offshore in deep water, where oilfields take an of average seven years to bring into production, so the declining rate of exploration success points to reduced supplies from the mid-2020s.
The dwindling rate of discoveries does not mean that the world is running out of oil; in recent years most of the increase in global production has come from existing fields, not new finds.

But if the rate of oil discoveries does not improve, it will create a shortfall in global supplies of about 4.5m barrels per day by 2035, Wood Mackenzie said.
That could mean higher oil prices, and make the world more reliant on onshore oilfields where the resource base is already known, such as US shale.
A lot will happen between now and 2035. Saudi Arabia has more pressing problems. For investors the bigger problem is that share value is determined to a great extent by amount of oil in reserves, not in production.

RBN Energy: continuing updates on demand factors affecting natural gas storage injection season.

Deep-sea video for the granddaughters: NOAA has three deep-sea cameras live streaming. I'm not sure long this will last, and it's possible there will be "down time." But it may be worth watching. Camera 1 is the best; it appears to be "down" right now. Camera 2 appears to be a camera "above" the explorer, and films the explorer itself. Camera 3 appears to have the technical data from inside the mother/control vessel. Just my guess. From NOAA:
From April 20 to July 10, 2016, NOAA and partners will conduct the three-cruise Deepwater Exploration of the Marianas expedition on NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer to collect critical baseline information of unknown and poorly known areas in and around the Marianas Trench Marine National Monument and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer is operating on Fiji time (GMT +12) during the 2016 Deepwater Exploration of the Marianas expedition.
Daily daytime remotely operated vehicle (ROV) dives are planned, with ROV deployment at approximately 0830 and ROV recovery at approximately 1630 Fiji time most days.
Currently Central Time is five hours ahead of GMT time. At noon today, it will be 5:00 p.m. GMT.

For The Archives: The Canadian Fires
Estimate: Up To One Million BOPD Off Global Market

The Globe and Mail is reporting:
The Alberta wildfire that has destroyed entire neighbourhoods in Fort McMurray is taking a growing toll on the energy industry, forcing as much as a quarter of the country’s oil output off-line.
Oil sands projects, pipelines and electrical facilities around Fort McMurray have shut down and workers have been sent to safer locales.
With the inferno having expanded more than tenfold in a day, there is no estimate yet of when many of the operations can resume.
Northern Alberta’s fiery disaster, and fears of a worsening supply problem, have prompted global oil traders to bid up crude prices. U.S. benchmark West Texas intermediate rose 38 cents (U.S.) to settle at $44.70 a barrel on Friday. Prices for Canadian heavy oil also rose on tightening supplies in the affected region.
If operations can get back online relatively quickly, as was the case last year when wildfires caused outages far south of Fort McMurray – and if there is no damage to facilities – the market impact should be relatively small, said Jackie Forrest, vice-president at ARC Financial Corp.
“The thing is, we’re not certain it’s going to stay that way. It could be that this fire grows and that we actually see some damage to oil sands facilities that isn’t temporary,” Ms. Forrest said.
Estimates place the volume that companies have shut off at between 800,000 and one million barrels a day. Prices have yet to spike dramatically, largely because the outages come at a time of brimming inventories in North America. No companies are estimating when evacuated staff can return from shelters and other temporary housing around the province.
Four takeaways:
  • won't have any material effect on global production (that's why price of oil is actually down today)
  • puts Trudeau in a bad, bad economic position; it will help him face (energy) reality
  • it gives the 30-year-old Saudi prince additional time (at least six months) of not having to cut production 
  • somewhat of a lifeline, perhaps, for Venezuela; the US needs heavy oil to mix with light oil for refineries; much of that heavy oil came from Canada 
Canadian GDP, contribution by sector (per wiki):
  • real estate: 12%
  • manufacturing: 11%
  • oil: 8%
  • health care: 7%
  • public administration: 7%
  • finance and insurance: 7%
  • agriculture, forestry, hunting, fishing: less than 2%
I think the numbers speak for themselves.

Bottom line: huge impact for Canada; almost no impact on rest of world.
