Venezuela will continue to produce oil… until the world demands it

Venezuela’s official proven oil reserves are 297 billion barrels (using a 20% recovery rate on the Orinoco Belt, for 257 billion barrels). The USGS estimates that 510 billion barrels would be ultimately recoverable in the Orinoco Belt (using a 45% recovery rate). Even using a 10% recovery rate Venezuela would have the second largest reserves after Saudi Arabia, at around 190 billion barrels

• Bonuses ($1.5 bn.) • Loans to PDVSA ($2.1 bn.)

• Early production 260 MBD for 84 months. Revenue $5-6 bn.

• Investments ~$15 – 20 bn. ~50-60% in upgrader.

Serious problems developing the necessary infrastructure will continue. The new

upgraders planned location might be uneconomical.

Depending on the assumptions, only about 100 - 200 MBD of lighter crude are available as diluent, the first join-ventures to start production would have an advantage.

For the IOCs, it is a game of maximizing the early production stage without making the upgrader investments.

Fiscal framework is uncertain, in particular the windfall tax. The government has promised that for new projects this tax would only be activated after investments have been recovered, but the details and credibility are important. A temporary royalty reduction to 20% is also on the table. On January 2013 the windfall tax was reduced.

International firms say they are willing to invest if the fiscal framework is clarified, the infrastructure and project construction frameworks are well defined, operational control is effective, and the financing of PDVSA’s share is settled.

PDVSA’s production from own effort has declined even more dramatically (from 3.2 MMBD in late nineties to about 1.8 MMBD today).

Excessive bureaucracy: more than 100 thousand employees and 20 thousand contractual (from about 40 thousand employees and 20 contractual pre-strike).

Arbitrations. Conoco, Exxon, and others. Claims above $40 bn. Probable ~$5-8 bn. The ICC arbitration was the result of contractual compensation cap, rather than book

value.

The nationalization of the service companies has had a negative impact. Debt has increased exponentially during boom times, still manageable, but on an

unsustainable path.

PDVSA and the government are increasingly dependent on the price of oil.

PDVSA and the government require average oil prices above $90 to avoid significant stress.

When the government’s fiscal situation is critical. (To some extent true today).

When the local NOC is in bad shape. (Yes) When production is declining. (Yes) When they need to initiate large and risky investments in

exploration and new frontier developments. (True in Orinoco, off-shore, and exploration)

When they need technology that only some IOCs control. (To some extent, to increase recovery rate).

When the price of oil is low. (Not the case now). This key driver is not in place.

More pragmatism. Windfall tax reduction, Chevron loan to Petroboscan and more to follow.

Reduction in Petrocaribe subsidies? Domestic subsidies? In 2013 production level will remain stagnant or slightly decline. Projects will continue to fall behind schedule and only one or two of the Orinoco

projects would go ahead. Production increase in extra-heavy of ~200 MBD for mixing. US product imports likely

to rise. One upgrader eventually built, probably with the Chinese. Production slowly increases back, reaching 3.1 MMBD in about 6-8 years (0.5

MMBD increase). Investment in E & P at the Orinoco Belt around US$3-5 billion a year Could get worse in case oil prices fall, but then pragmatism would prevail and

eventually some investments will be made. Risks are stepper decline in the Maracaibo basin or in northern Monagas

IOCs most likely to invest: Chinese NOCs. Some private IOC investment for mixing.

1. Chavez popularity was largely the result of the oil boom and

increased expenditures.

2. Chavez was actually an underperformer in terms of both popularity and socio-economic results, compared to the region and Venezuela’s past.

3. Chavez was much more radical than the median voter. Still, he could win elections as a result of the oil driven expenditures and transfers to the poor.
