Crude oil
Oil plays an important role in the economic activity of any country. Crude oil is a liquid found in natural underground reservoirs and
is burned to create energy. Crude oil and it’s by products are used as raw materials or input in various manufacturing industries and
the products obtained are petrol, Liquid petroleum gas, naptha, kerosene, gas oil and fuel oil. Crude oil are classified according to
API gravity which is American Petroleum Institute and it has mentioned the gravity level a measure of heavy or light a petroleum
liquid when compared to water. If the oil has higher API gravity it is considered as light and if less gravity level it is considered as
sour or heavy. The three primary benchmarks of oil in world trade are West Texas Intermediate (WTI), Brent Blend and Dubai &
Oman.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI): West Texas Intermediate
commonly called as WTI is used primarily in U.S. It is light (API
gravity) and sweet (low sulphur) making it ideal for producing
products like low sulphur gasoline and low sulphur diesel. Brent is
not light or sweet as WTI but still high grade crude and WTI
typically trades at higher premium than Brent.
Brent crude: Brent Crude is the largest of the many major
classifications of crude oil and is used to price two thirds of the
world’s internationally traded crude oil supplies. Brent crude is
sourced from North Sea (of Atlantic Ocean located between Great
Britain and Scandinavia). Petroleum production from Europe,
Africa and the Middle East flowing towards west tends to priced
relative to this Brent which acts as a benchmark.
Dubai Crude: Dubai Crude is a light sour crude oil extracted from Dubai. Dubai crude is used as a price benchmark because it is one
of few Persian Gulf crude oil. Dubai crude is generally used for pricing Persian Gulf crude oil exports to Asia. The Dubai benchmark is
also known as Fateh is used in the United Arab Emirates. For many years, most of the oil producers in the Middle East have taken
the monthly spot price average of Dubai & Oman as the bench mark for sales to the Far East.

Important Facts & Figures:
The world crude oil & liquid fuels consumption grew to 86.7 mbpd in
2010 surpassing the previous record of 86.3 mbpd set in 2007.
Energy Information administration (EIA) expects that the world liquid
fuels consumption to grow by 1.4mbpd in 2011 and in 2012 by 1.6
mbpd, resulting in total world consumption of 89.7 mbpd in 2012.
Countries outside the Organization for Economic cooperation and
development (OECD) such as China, Brazil and Middle East will drive
the growth in consumption of oil, along with OECD members US &
Canada in next two years, offsetting declines in Europe and Japan.

Non OPEC countries produced 33.67 mbpd as of 2009 and according
to EIA, Non OPEC crude oil and liquid fuels production will increase by
690,000 barrels per day (bpd) in 2011 and 420,000 bpd in 2012,
mainly contributed by Brazil, Canada & China. Other Non OPEC areas
are expected to decline, including a decrease in European and North
Sea production of 130,000 bpd in 2011 and further decrease of
200,000 bpd in 2012.
EIA expects that OECD onshore inventories will decline in 2011
following the steep drop in floating storage that has already occurred.
Projected onshore OECD stocks fall by about 20 million barrels in 2011,
followed by an additional 54 million barrel decline in 2012. Days of
supply (total inventories divided by average daily consumption) drops
from a relatively high 58.1 days during the fourth quarter of 2010 to
57.0 days in the fourth quarter 2011, and 55.7 days of supply in the
fourth quarter 2012. Source: BP Statistical Review of World Energy, Hedge Research

Top oil producing countries
Russia is the leading producer of oil pumping close to 10 million
barrels per day, with reserves close of 77.4 billion barrels.
The country with high amount of reserves is Saudi Arabia which
has 264.5 billion barrels and high reserve life.
It is forecasted that United States will consume all its reserves in
other 10 years.
In future United States may increase their dependence on Middle
East which has close to 56% of the world reserves unless US finds
other source of energy to meets its demand.
Source: BP Statistical Review of World Energy, Hedge Research
Top oil consuming countries
United States is the leading consumer of oil with 19.14
million barrels per day in 2010.
China is far behind US in consumption. But China has
doubled its consumption in the last decade and is expected to
increase its consumption aggressively in next two decades.
Japan has been the third largest importer of oil, as the
country lacks energy reserves & with many number
manufacturing company and oil refineries. Japan will continue
to import in order to meet its demand.
India is quite significantly increasing its oil imports as the
economy is growing at faster pace than the world economy. Source: BP Statistical Review of World Energy, Hedge Research

Fundamental Factors affecting crude oil prices
Demand & Supply
OPEC is the major player which is controlling the prices of crude oil as crude oil production is done according to the demand
from the developing countries. The difference between the upstream and downstream largely determines the crude oil prices
& upstream countries are the major sellers of crude and their productions are valued by downstream demand. Downstream
countries are the major buyers of crude oil, and the cost of the oil is determined by the upstream supply.
Economic Factors
The economic growth of the global economy will increase the demand of crude oil and have influence on the oil prices. The
strong growth in China, India & demand from US are supporting crude oil prices. China’s growth remains the key to the
further trend of oil. If the growth continues in China, we can see the price of crude oil increasing. The macro economic data
related to global growth will have an impact on crude prices.
Geo Political Factors
Though the demand supply factor plays an important role, the geo political factors especially has high impact as the surplus
capacity is limited and the sudden increase in production can’t be done in case of emergency.
Inflation factors
Inflation rate is the other factor which can drive or suppress the demand of crude oil. If the inflation rate is very high, it can
dent the demand of the crude oil and slow down the economic growth of a country.
Natural calamities
Natural calamities have a heavy impact on crude oil prices. The oil refineries, transportation, exploration & production, all the
process are affected, which makes it harder to produce the oil in these kinds of circumstances.
Crude inventories
Crude oil are priced in terms of US dollars & crude inventory data is a metric closely watched & often has a bearing on crude
oil prices and other commodities.

United States
U.S is the largest consumer of crude oil consuming 22% of world’s share and imports
11.68 mbpd in order to meet its demand. Though there are predictions that US will
exhaust its oil reserves in other 10 years, the demand is on increase.US have created (
SPR)- strategic Petroleum reserve an emergency fuel store maintained by the United
states Department of Energy. As per SPR website the inventory as on November 30,
2010 is 292.5 sweet million barrels & 434 million barrels of sour and total of 726.5
million barrels. Source: BP Statistical Review of World Energy, Hedge Research
Importance of Cushing trading hub:
Cushing is a major trading hub for WTI crude supply connecting the Gulf coast suppliers with northern consumers and a famous price
settlement point for WTI on the NYMEX.Cushing storage has a huge influence over the relative value of West Texas Intermediate
crude oil futures due to pipeline bottlenecks that can allow more oil to accumulate at the hub than can be easily shipped out to
refiners on the Gulf Coast
Companies with tank facilities at Cushing have been able to turn big profits
in recent years by storing crude and committing it for sale later, taking
advantage of the contango, when crude for near term delivery sells at a
discount to crude for later delivery. The spread between WTI and Brent oil
can occur because of Cushing factor and there are certain occasions where
the trend has appeared.
The anomaly occurred perhaps because of a temporary shortage of refining
capacity in 2007 and in Feb 2011, where most of analyst suggests the
reason for this anomaly is that Cushing has reached capacity, depressing the
oil market in North America which is centered on the WTI price. However,
Brent is moving up in reaction to civil unrest in Egypt and across the Middle
East. (Stockpiles at Cushing cannot be easily transported to the Gulf Coast
for export.) Total capacity was at 51.9 million barrels as of June 2010 at
Cushing. Source: BP Statistical Review of World Energy, Hedge Research

China
China is the second largest oil consumer behind the United States. China emerged
from being a net oil exporter in the early 1990s and became the world’s third-
largest net importer of oil in 2006. China’s oil consumption growth accounted for
about a third of the world’s oil consumption growth.
China consumed an estimated 9.05 mbpd or nearly 10% of total world share in
2009. China’s net oil imports reached about 5.96 mbpd in 2010, making it the
second-largest net oil importer in the world behind the United States.EIA forecasts
that China’s oil consumption will continue to grow during 2011 with oil demand
reaching almost 9.6 mbpd in 2011.
China’s Strategic petroleum reserve & Expansion plan: China’s total SPR
capacity reached 178 million barrels by the end of the 2010 and the capacity will
increase to 500 million barrels once the third phase is completed. According to
China economic weekly, reported China’s total SPR capacity will increase to 621
million barrels by 2020.China plans to spend $36.71 billion - 44.05 billion under its
new five year plan to boost offshore oil production and aims to increase China’s
offshore oil production capacity by 50 million metric tons by 2015.
Oil imports: The Middle East remains the largest source of China’s crude oil
imports, although African countries also contribute a significant amount to China’s
crude oil imports. China imported 5.96 mbpd of crude oil in 2010, of which
approximately 50% came from the Middle East, 30 % from Africa, 5% from the
Asia-Pacific region, and 17% came from other countries.
In the first half of 2010, crude oil imports jumped to over 4.7 million barrels per
day or a 30 % year on year increase, resulting from China’s increasing demand.
The EIA expects China to import about 72 % of its crude oil by 2035, a significant
rise from the current 50 % according to IEA. Source: BP Statistical Review of World Energy, Hedge Research

India
India is the world’s fifth largest energy consumer and continues to grow rapidly.
India generally imports Oman-Dubai sour grade crude, Brent dated sweet crude
and Bonny light crude. Oil accounts for about 31 % of India’s total energy
consumption and has approximately 5.8 billion barrels of proven oil reserves as of
January 2010, the second largest amount in Asia pacific region after China, which
represents just 0.5% of the world’s total, with Mumbai High being the biggest
producing field.
India’s crude oil reserves trend to be light and sweet and produce roughly 826
thousand bpd from over 3600 operating oil wells. India consumes 3.31 mbpd
(including the Indian refining company’s imports) and the combination of rising oil
consumption and relatively flat production has left India increasingly dependent on
imports to meet its petroleum demand. India is the fourth largest net importer of
oil in the world, importing nearly 3.59 million bpd and about 70 % of its oil needs
are imported from the Middle East, primarily from Saudi Arabia, followed by Iran.
The active Indian company abroad is ONGC videsh Ltd (OVC) conducts oil and
natural gas operations in 13 countries,
including Vietnam, Myanmar, Russia (Sakhalin Island), Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Brazil,
and Columbia. OVL has acquired 25% stake in Greater Nile petroleum operating
company (GNPOC) and the company in Sudan holds proved crude oil reserves of
more than one billion barrels with current production levels at roughly 300,000
barrels per day from 10 fields.
In addition to the upstream activities, the GNPOC companies operate a 935-mile
crude oil pipeline that pumps oil to Port Sudan. OVL also holds a 20 % stake in the
ExxonMobil-led consortium that operates the Sakhalin-I project in Russia which
holds recoverable crude oil reserves of 2.3 billion barrels. Source: BP Statistical Review of World Energy, Hedge research

Strategic petroleum reserves
To support India’s energy security, India is constructing a strategic petroleum reserve (SPR). The first storage facility
at Visakhapatnam will hold approximately 9.8 million bbls of crude (1.33 million tons) and is scheduled for completion by the end of
2011. The second facility at Mangalore will have a capacity of nearly 11 million bbls (1.5 million tons) and is scheduled for
completion by the end of 2012. The third facility of Padur, also scheduled to be completed by the end of 2012, will have a capacity
of nearly 18.3 million bbls (2.5 million ton).

The government of India has taken many steps to attract foreign companies to bid for the NELP blocks, but the foreign participation
was very limited. As on June 2010, the total investment made by India and foreign companies is around $13.8 billion. The eight
round of NELP was launched in April 2009 offering 70 blocks, the highest number of blocks ever. A total of 62 companies comprising
10 foreign companies and 52 Indian companies have made bids and 31 public sector companies were signed
Refining sector in India
India, with its current capacity of around 180 million tons per annum (mtpa)
is poised to emerge as a major refining hub, with considerable capacity
additions being planned over the next few years. Of a total of 20 refineries in
India, public sector unit have a capacity of 107.5 MMTPA while the private
sector players comprising of RIL and Essar have a capacity of close to 72
MMTPA.
The country has further large expansions planned and is aiming to emerge
as refining hub even as global refining market have tightened with the closure
of small refineries in North America and Europe mainly due to challenges in
investing in cleaner fuels and high compliance costs. In addition, permits for
Greenfield refineries are hard to obtain in these countries due to the
environmental concerns. Therefore, capacity addition is primarily coming from
emerging economies like India, China and some Middle Eastern countries.
Capacity additions as well as Greenfield refineries announced by public and
private sector players indicate that almost 40-50 MMTPA of additional refining
capacity will be added by 2013-14 bringing the total available capacity to
nearly 240 MMTPA. Source : KPMG Oil & Gas overview 2010

Japan
Japan is the third-largest net importer of oil in the world after the United
States and China in 2010, having imported 4.56 million bpd. The country is
primarily dependent on the Middle East for its oil imports, as roughly 80 % of
Japanese crude oil imports originate in this region, up from 70 % in the mid-
1980s. Japan is currently looking towards Russia, South East Asia, and Africa to
geographically diversify its oil imports.
In 2010, Japan’s oil production was roughly 132,631 bpd, of which 4940 is crude
oil. Japan has 145 producing oil wells in 13 fields. The pace of the domestic
exploration program slowed in 2009-2010, due to the low rate of production
compared with exploration costs.
Japan consumes 4.39 mbpd or 5% of the world’s total consumption and Japanese
oil companies have sought participation in exploration and production projects
overseas with government backing. The government's 2006 energy strategy plan
encourages Japanese companies to increase energy exploration and development
projects around the world to secure a stable supply of oil and natural gas.
The Japan Bank for International Cooperation supports upstream companies by
offering loans at favorable rates. The government's goal is to import 40 percent of
the country's total crude oil imports from Japanese-owned concessions by 2030,
up from the current estimated 19 %.Japan has 4.7 million barrels per day of oil
refining capacity at 30 facilities as of January 2011, and has the second-largest
refining capacity in the Asia-Pacific region after China. As of 2010 Japan has SPR
of 5.83 million barrels and the Japanese SPR is run by the Japan oil, Gas and
Metals and National Corporation.
Currently private refiners in Japan are required to maintain petroleum product
stocks equivalent to at least 70 days of consumption, which imposes large
additional costs to these companies. The March 11 earthquake in Northeastern
Japan caused a shutdown of at least or 26 percent of the current capacity which is
approximately 1.2 million barrels per day. Japan will likely import refined
products, particularly low sulfur fuel oil, in order to compensate shortfalls in fuel
supply for power generation. Source: BP Statistical Review of World Energy, Hedge Research

Important Checkpoints of Sea route for oil trade
Strait of Hormuz & Strait of Malacca are two of the world’s most strategic checkpoints.
Strait of Hormuz: Located between Oman and Iran, the Strait of Hormuz connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the
Arabian Sea. Hormuz is the world's most important oil chokepoint due to its daily oil flow of 15.5 million barrels in 2009, down from
a peak of 17 million barrels per day in 2008. Flows through the Strait in 2009 are roughly 33 percent of all seaborne traded oil (40
percent in 2008). More than 75 percent of these crude oil exports went to Asian markets, with Japan, India, South Korea,
and China representing the largest destinations.
Malacca: The Strait of Malacca, located between Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore, links the Indian Ocean to the South China
Sea and Pacific Ocean. Malacca is the shortest sea route between Persian Gulf suppliers and the Asian markets –
notably China, Japan, South Korea, and the Pacific Rim. Oil shipments through the Strait of Malacca supply China and Indonesia, two
of the world’s fastest growing economies. It is the key chokepoint in Asia with an estimated 13.6 million barrels per day flow in 2009,
down slightly from its peak of 14 million barrels per day in 2007.
Suez Canal: Total petroleum transit volume was close to 2 million barrels per day or just below five percent of seaborne oil trade in
2010. Almost 16,500 ships transited the Suez Canal from January through November of 2010, of which about 20 % were petroleum
tankers and 5 % were LNG tankers. Closure of the Suez Canal and the SUMED Pipeline would divert oil tankers around the southern
tip of Africa the Cape of Good Hope, adding approximately 6,000 miles to transit, increasing both costs and shipping time. According
to a report released by the International Energy Agency (IEA), shipping around Africa would add 15 days of transit to Europe and 8-
10 days to the United States.
Sumed Pipeline :The 200-mile long SUMED Pipeline, or Suez-Mediterranean Pipeline provides an alternative to the Suez Canal for
those cargos too large to transit the Canal (laden VLCC’s and larger)
Bab el-Mandab: The Strait of Bab el-Mandab is a chokepoint between the horn of Africa and the Middle East, and a strategic link
between the Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean. It is located between Yemen, Djibouti, and Eritrea, and connects the Red Sea
with the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea. Most exports from the Persian Gulf that transit the Suez Canal and SUMED pipeline also
pass through the Bab el-Mandab. Closure of the Bab el-Mandab could keep tankers from the Persian Gulf from reaching the Suez
Canal/Sumed pipeline complex, diverting them around the southern tip of Africa.

Crude Outlook
Crude oil had a good rally in the year 2011, before it lost $16 in the first week of May, 2011. The major reasons for the decline in
prices was the hike in margins by Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and fears of sluggish demand from the major consumers such
as United States and China. US light sweet crude oil prices last week traded in the range of $93 -$101 a barrel and the prices are
expected to get support from supply concerns in Middle east and north African regions(MENA). MENA regions which are the major oil
producing countries in the world are facing political issues and geo political tensions which are causing a big threat to oil supply. The
Canadian oil production is cut close to 50000 barrels per day of production because of wild fires in the region. Though the prices have
declined reasonably, it is still considered to be high and it could affect the economic growth. The traders are advised to trade
cautiously in crude oil and price movements continue to happen in a range bound with sudden spurts of volatility.
Analyst notes & updates
07/07/2011
WTI crude fell to $90 a barrel after International Energy Agency (IEA) announcement of releasing the coil from the member countries in order to meet
the increasing demand. According to reports, OPEC has asked its member countries to decrease the oil production in order to increase the oil prices and
as a result the prices are currently trading at $97 a barrel (as on 07/07/2011). Barclay’s capital has upgraded its oil price forecast for 2012 for WTI the
price is expected to be at $110 a barrel and Brent oil at $115.
09/06/2011
OPEC plans to increase the crude oil production has been disagreed by the OPEC members, which is a bad sign for the global
economic growth and would increase the inflationary pressures in many countries. However our outlook remains the same on Crude
oil.
