2014 - a defining year
Increase TP to 1430p (from 1296p) / Reiterate O/P: We now view the
Iraqi Kurdish oil play as lower risk. Progress has been very
impressive since 2011 and we treat recent events – the signing of
the energy agreement with Turkey last week – as 'irreversible
progress'. Consistent with this, we partly de-risk the value upside
and raise our TP to 1430p/share and re-iterate our O/P. We believe
Genel could be the bright-spot again in the UK E&P space in
2014.
Progress report: Having finalised the energy agreements, the next
step is to meet with the Government of Iraq (GOI) to reach a
revenue-sharing agreement. Exports, however, can flow before and
contractors amongst others will have the first call on revenue (ie,
under this format, they should get paid as exports begin). The KRG,
meanwhile, agreed not to draw on its share of revenue from these
exports after contractor entitlements, tariffs and payments to the
UN Compensation fund widely reported to be held in an escrow
account in Turkey, under the control of the KRG, until it reaches
an agreement with the GOI. As revenue is accumulated, there will be
an incentive to reach an agreement.
KRI oil to the benefit of Iraq as a whole: A series of obstacles,
both above and below ground, make it seem unlikely that Iraqi
production will ever achieve its full potential. Low-cost KRI oil
would help, and as production capacity increases (as we see
happening), it should find its way to the market, and with the
energy agreements now formalised, this looks imminent, in our
view.
2014 – a year of consolidation? Smooth operation (and with that
reduced uncertainty) in the KRI may open up the scene for greater
consolidation. Differentiation is key. Big Oil can still drive
harder bargains with those that are (a) capital constrained and (b)
technically not capable to drive developments. The best positioned
company or one that has the most sustainable business model with
exposure to the KRI is Genel, in our view. Genel is also attractive
as it has (a) portfolio quality, (b) portfolio depth with high
equity stakes, (c) capital light assets / assets with features of
long-duration, (d) intangibles (relationships / technical
know-how), and (e) an attractive exploration portfolio outside of
the KRI, especially Morocco, where we see growing industry
interest.
Valuation: Our TP of 1430p is set at around our risked NAV of
1432p.

Executive summary Bottom line – we view the Iraqi Kurdish oil play
today as lower risk. Progress has been
very impressive since 2011, particularly in the context of the
political complexity in the
region; this includes (a) a growing presence of Big Oil, (b) a
bilateral energy agreement
with Turkey, including for upstream blocks and a gas sales
agreement (GSA) and (c)
KRG's independent pipeline. All of these will help pave the way for
this 'Iraqi oil and gas' to
find its way to the market to the benefit of the country as a
whole, and its neighbour
Turkey, especially on gas matters. We treat recent events as
'irreversible progress' and
consistent with this, we partly de-risk the value upside and raise
our TP to 1430p/share.
Progress report – Turkey and the KRG have finalised energy
agreements last week. The
next step is to meet with the GOI with an update hopefully
forthcoming in the near-term.
This, however, does not mean that exports can't begin before and
contractors paid as they
(and pipeline tariffs and the UN compensation fund) are widely
reported to have the first
call on revenue. Meanwhile, the KRG agreed not to draw on its share
of revenue after
contractor entitlements etc widely reported (eg Iraq Oil Report) to
be held in an escrow
account in Turkey from exports from the KRI until it reaches an
agreement with the GOI.
Payment mechanism – Turkey is preparing to set up an escrow account
at a state-owned
Turkish bank, which would fall under the control of the KRG, with
contractors having one
of the first calls on revenue. Exports would flow through its own
pipeline and metering
point, where SOMO is invited to monitor flows. This is a better
version to before, where
SOMO controlled the exports and Iraq's Ministry of Finance
controlled the payment flows,
which had been a stumbling block for the KRG and its oil companies.
As exports begin
and revenue is accumulated, there is a growing incentive between
the parties to reach an
agreement. We are also encouraged by what we read in the press from
US policy-makers.
KRI oil to the benefit of Iraq as a whole – Incremental Iraqi oil
supply will play an
important role in determining how tight the future global
supply/demand balance will be.
Unfortunately, a series of obstacles, both above and below ground,
make it unlikely that
Iraqi production will ever achieve its full potential, in our view.
Low-cost KRI oil would help,
and as production capacity increases (as we see happening), it
should find its way to the
market, and with the energy agreements now formalised, this looks
imminent.
Turkey and KRI gas – Turkey relies on gas imports from Russia,
Iran, contracted LNG
from Nigeria and Algeria, and Azerbaijan. KRI gas would allow
Turkey to diversify its gas
supply, whilst also being able to reduce the gas input cost.
Importantly, the agreement for
10bcma (and possibly growing to 20bcma by the middle of the next
decade) will make the
KRG one of Turkey's most important long-term strategic partners.
This agreement may
also help Turkey to drive harder negotiations over price with its
other suppliers.
2014 – a year of consolidation? Smooth operation (and with that
reduced uncertainty) in
the KRI may open up the scene for greater consolidation, in our
view, and for anyone
looking to gain a greater foothold in the KRI, as much as Big Oils
currently have a bias
towards organic growth, a strategic asset like KRI oil and gas
should find a place in the
portfolio and with that its fair share of competition, in our
view.
Differentiation is key. Big Oil can still drive harder bargains
with those that are (a) capital
constrained and (b) technically not capable to drive developments.
We see plenty of
companies with exposure to the KRI in this camp, where the Majors
can exercise this
leverage. The best positioned or one that has the most sustainable
business model (cash
flow & balance sheet strength), in our view, with exposure to
the KRI is Genel.
What makes Genel so attractive? In our view, this can also be
explained by (a) portfolio
quality with little on the fringe (ie not a 'one trick pony'), (b)
portfolio depth with high equity
stakes across its asset base, (c) capital light assets / assets
with features of long-duration,
(d) intangibles (relationships / technical know-how) and (e) an
attractive exploration
portfolio outside of the KRI, especially Morocco, where we see
growing industry interest.

2014 – a defining year A defining year – One way or another, 2014
is a defining year, in our view. Turkey and
the KRG have finalised energy agreements, including a GSA. Turkey
is committed to it as
is also evident by the signatures for 13 upstream blocks in the
KRI, around half of which in
partnership with Exxon. The next step is to meet with the GOI to
hammer out a revenue
sharing agreement. Exports, however, can flow before an agreement
there is reached with
the revenue share to the KRG and GOI accumulated in the escrow
account in Turkey in
the interim. In other words, contractors (plus pipeline tariffs and
the UN Compensation
fund) will be paid as they are widely reported to have the first
call on revenue from the
export that can begin soon from the KRI, while the KRG agreed not
to draw on its share of
revenue after contractor entitlements etc until an agreement is
reached with the GOI.
The KRG can work towards its 17% entitlement, not the 10.5% it has
been paid in the past
after deductions, for exports revenues from the country.
Importantly, it will have greater
control/leverage over the revenue as the KRI work towards 500kbd in
exports over the
next 18 months using its own pipeline and metering point to the
benefit of the entire
country. We would generally ignore rhetoric against this agreement
from Iraqi policy-
makers, should there be any, in the run-up to the Iraqi elections
in April 2014. Just as in
2010, if not more so now, the KRG may be politically better
positioned given
factions/oppositions within the Shia parties – the support from the
KRG may go some way
in securing political aspirations of those looking to retain or
gain new political seats. The
reality is that even the US appears to be sending positive signals
this time around with the
US ambassador to Turkey stating 'we want to see the Iraqi
government be happy about
the deal with the Kurdish Regional Government and with Turkey',
according to Hurriyet.
Bottom line – we view the Iraqi Kurdish oil play today as lower
risk. Progress has been
very impressive since 2011, particularly in the context of the
political complexity of the
region; this includes (a) the growing presence of Big Oil, (b) a
bilateral energy agreement
with Turkey including for upstream blocks and (c) KRG's independent
pipeline. All of these
will help pave the way for this 'Iraqi oil and gas' to find its way
to the market to the benefit
of the country as a whole, and its neighbour Turkey, especially on
gas matters.
Investors still seem, however, somewhat reluctant to believe at
face value that a smooth
operation is possible (and no doubt there may be initial bumps on
the road), and appear to
be adopting a wait and see approach. We treat recent events as
'irreversible progress' and
consistent with that, we partly de-risk the value and raise our TP
to 1430p/share. Smooth
operation in the KRI may open up for greater consolidation, in our
view, and for anyone
looking to gain a greater foothold in the KRI, as much as Big Oils
currently have a bias
towards organic growth, a strategic asset like the KRI oil and gas
should find its place in
the portfolio and its fair share of competition, in our view, but
differentiation is key.

2007 – The Iraqi cabinet approved a draft oil and gas (for
centralism) legislation in 2007,
but the parliament supported another (federalism) and thus failed
to pass a new oil and
gas law. With this, the KRG passed its own legislation (Kurdish Oil
Law in August 2007)
and proceeded to award licences to oil companies within its
boundaries. The implication of
this impasse was significant—the KRG was largely unable to export
production as the GOI
prevented it from using federal infrastructure for export. The KRI
is landlocked and export
infrastructure is controlled by the federal government. This meant
once Iraqi Kurdish oil is
supplied into the export pipeline, it comes under the control of
the federal government via
SOMO (responsible for export sales).
2010 elections – The two Kurdish parties expressed their
willingness to work with
whoever was ready to address a list of 19 demands, which includes
the implementation of
the 2006 constitution (including the incorporation of Kirkuk) and
hydrocarbon laws. The
twin issues – Kirkuk and Oil – are key to the unresolved conflict
between Baghdad and the
semi-autonomous KRI.
After nine months of political stalemate following very close March
2010 parliamentary
elections, it became clear that no government could be formed
without the two principal
Kurdish parties (KDP and PUK) and at the end of 2010, a new
government was formed.
The creation of a unified government at the end of 2010 has gone
some way to resolving
the longstanding stalemate in Iraqi politics and this created a
situation, which pushed the
KRG and GOI closer:
(a) As a pre-condition to supporting Maliki (Shiite) as Prime
Minister in the new
government, the KRG extracted assurances that disagreements over
oil and gas
matters would be resolved in 2011 (it did not quite happen the way
it had hoped);
(b) The KRG had often called for former Oil Minister Sharistani’s
removal as a
condition of Maliki retaining the PM position and to an oil deal
with the GOI, as it
was Sharistani who had pursued the centralisation of Iraq’s oil
sector. The export
agreement was signed just a few days after the government came into
power and
Luaibi assumed his new role as Oil Minister. Sharistani was
eventually appointed
as one of the three Deputy PMs with responsibility for energy
matters, which
created some confusion over who is in charge of decision
making.
(c) The interests of the GOI and the KRG are more aligned with the
GOI needing
more export to fund its budget, in particular as export increases
in the south are
likely to see infrastructure bottlenecks.
2011 – Export through federally owned infrastructure from the KRI
resumed in Feb 2011,
and two payments were made to the KRG, despite Deputy PM
Sharistani’s continued anti-
PSC position. The tougher issue is still unresolved however; namely
the GOI validating the
PSCs in the KRI. In 2011, Exxon made an entry into the KRI, which
appeared to have
angered the GOI, also as the oil giant has a presence in the
south.

Very impressive progress since 2012 – Over the past two years, a
growing number of
IOCs have entered the KRI, including Chevron, Total and
Gazpromneft. This in turn reduced
the leverage the GOI has over IOCs and helped de-risk the path
towards sustainable exports
from the KRI; in fact, the KRI now has major operator investments
from all five permanent
members of the UN Security Council. In some ways, this could be
seen as undermining the
historical position in the first two licensing rounds in southern
Iraq—i.e., that IOCs would
accept unattractive TSCs for the right to bid in the future and
more attractive contracts in the
south—and put into question the investment case in the south.
We believe IOCs have learned from the past three years; while
production has been on the
rise in Southern Iraq, it was hard going and less than expected,
with lagging infrastructure
developments, growing security concerns, challenging bureaucracy
and slow cost
repayment. The fiscal terms in the KRI (PSCs) are more commensurate
to geological risk.
With the support of Turkey (the announcement of the bilateral
energy plans between the
KRG and Turkey in May 2012) and the construction of an independent
pipeline (with another
pipeline in the planning stages) with a separate tie-in point (with
SOMO invited to monitor the
flows) to the second line of the ITP pipeline (the pipeline now
completed), the position of the
KRG had been further strengthened. With this, there is the
potential for the oil to start flowing
in 1H14 initially at 150kbd, then quickly reaching 300-350kbd
(mostly initially from Tawke,
Taq Taq and Khurmala Dome) and growing to ~500kbd by the middle of
2015, in our view.

Turkish commitment – an important piece to the Iraqi Kurdish
puzzle
Decree – A decree (by the Council of Ministers) was published in
the Official Gazetta in
Turkey in November 2011 that allows Turkish companies to pay for
hydrocarbons (crude
and oil products) directly from companies in Iraqi Kurdistan; i.e.
it would bypass SOMO.
Bilateral agreement – In March 2013, the KRG and Turkey announced
bilateral energy
plans, involving oil, gas and downstream plans that rely on Turkey,
not Baghdad. This
agreement includes:
(a) oil imports/transit fees, which we expect in the form of:
o Transit: $1-2/bbl (cost recoverable) within the KRI
o Transit: $5-10/bbl (not cost recoverable) in Turkey
04 December 2013
(b) infrastructure (oil and gas pipelines),
(c) gas sales agreement (for 10bcma and possibly growing to 20bcma
by the middle of
the next decade) and gas prices, where we expect a border price of
$6-7/mmbtu), and
(d) upstream acreage acquisition (via a new Turkish state entity,
TEC), which is widely
reported to have taken stakes in 13 upstream blocks, half of which
are in partnership
with Exxon.
This also included the possibility to barter crude for products.
The KRG was, however,
clear in stating that it would be ‘Iraqi oil’ and that the GOI
would be entitled to its share as
per the constitution. The wording, however, pointed to a change in
the path of payment.
Encouragingly, the Turkish Energy Minister was quoted in Rudaw that
'I would say frankly
that Turkey will not sit idly by its nearby sources of
energy'.
Issue of payment mechanism in the past – The central issue is that
SOMO is
responsible for the sale of exports to Turkey, before the revenues
are channelled to the
Iraqi Ministry of Finance. Below shows an example of how it was
meant to work in the
past, and payments for the exports have been largely missing, which
explains why oil
companies have opted to rely on the (a) domestic market and (b)
trucks to Turkey, for
which they have been paid according to the PSC mechanism.
Figure 9: Previous export payment mechanism
Source: Credit Suisse research
Proposed payment mechanism – Turkey is preparing to set up an
escrow account at a
state-owned Turkish bank, according to Dow Jones. The bank will
collect the proceeds of
exports of Iraqi hydrocarbons from the KRI with contractor
entitlement the first call on
export revenues. However, there is no final agreement yet with the
GOI, but importantly
the KRG said that it will not touch its share (as defined by the
constitution – 83%/17%
split) of revenue until it hammered out a deal, which means that
exports can still resume
and contractors paid their shares under this format. As exports
begin and revenue is
accumulated in the escrow account, there is a growing incentive
between the parties to
reach an agreement.
We think this mechanism is a much better version of its former self
in the eyes of the oil
companies, and according to the Iraq Oil Report falls under the
control of the KRG, not the
Iraqi Ministry of Finance. This includes TEC (the Turkish stated
entity with 13 upstream
blocks in Iraqi Kurdistan), which would not be committed unless it
is confident that its
potential oil and gas volumes finds its way to the international
markets and gets paid. The
US Energy Secretary, Ernest Moniz, stated in the WSJ that 'we
support the discussions,
and companies being engaged, within the constitutional structure'.
The US ambassador
was quoted in Hurriyet that 'we want to see the Iraqi government be
happy about the deal
with the Kurdish Regional Government and with Turkey'.

Rationale for investing in the KRI
Iraq is widely estimated to have the fourth largest proven oil
reserves in the world. Given the
under-explored nature of the country, reserve estimates are likely
to rise. Iraq is estimated to
hold ~143 billion barrels of oil. While it is not clear whether
this figure includes the Iraqi
Kurdish Region, the KRG itself estimates that its territory holds
~45 billion barrels of oil
resources (and upside to this if one includes EOR upside) and
~100-200 tcf of gas.
Since the discovery of the giant Kirkuk field in 1927, Iraq has
only enjoyed around 15 years
of intensive exploration efforts. Post-1952 after the signing of
agreements with IOCs,
significant exploration efforts led to discoveries such as the
large Rumaila field. But the
promulgation of Law 80 in 1961 stopped further exploration efforts.
The second leg of
exploration efforts began following the nationalisation of Iraqi
oil in 1972.
The Iraqi National Oil Company (INOC) with the help of IOCs
embarked on an exploration
campaign, which resulted in multiple discoveries, including Majnoon
and West Qurna. But
the 1980 Iran-Iraq war, followed by the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait
and resulting UN sanctions,
put a halt to any exploratory efforts in the region. This
under-explored nature (and resources
on the lower end of the cost curve) is attracting many western
IOCs, particularly in the
Kurdish region, where contract terms are more favourable. The large
Taq Taq, Tawke and
Shaikan discoveries are examples of what can be found in the
‘under-explored’ Kurdish
region of Iraq. Gas is also interesting (eg Miran, Bina Bawi) given
the proximity to a
growing gas market in Turkey, which is keen to secure gas supply
from the region.
Flexible federalism – a benefit to all Iraqis
The Iraqi Constitution, which came into effect in 2006, provides
that the ‘management of
oil and gas extracted from present fields’ is to be undertaken
jointly between the Iraqi
Government and the producing governorates/regional governments. The
KRG interpreted
this as the GOI having the primary authority over ‘Existing
fields’, while ‘New fields’ fall into
the purview of the regions. This is the interpretation of Turkey as
well, and importantly,
aside from some verbal attacks from the central government (or more
specifically from the
Deputy PM Sharistani), the PSCs in the KRI have not been legally
contested.
Importantly, the centralised approach is ineffective as evidenced
by the slow pace in
developing the projects in the South. In fact, many provinces
prefer a more de-centralised
approach over the inefficient centralised approach, whilst staying
true to a federal state. It
is a better recipe towards production growth to the benefit of the
country as a whole. It is
visible in the Wasit province, where we now have both TSCs and PSCs
(in JV between an
oil company and the provincial government). It is likely that other
provinces are looking to
sign contracts for ‘New’ fields (ie exploration) independent from
the GOI using the same
interpretation of the constitution as the KRG. In fact, acceptance
of the KRG-Turkey deal
by the GOI in essence would appear to be a validation of the PSCs
in the KRI.

The issues in the Southern controlled fields – Incremental Iraqi
oil supply will play an
important role in determining how tight the future global
supply/demand balance will be.
Unfortunately, a series of obstacles, both above and below ground,
make it unlikely that
Iraqi production will ever achieve its full potential, in our view.
The IEA’s base-case
forecast has Iraq producing 6.1mbd by 2020 (which includes limited
volumes from the KRI)
and 8.3mbd by 2035. The IEA’s base-case is too bullish in our view
and all evidence
points to Iraq (we refer to the south) struggling to significantly
increase production and with
the level likely to fall somewhere in between the IEA’s base-case
and their more bearish
scenario of 4.0mbd by 2020 and 5.3mbd by 2035. A swing factor could
be KRI oil. We
briefly share our concerns on the developments in the South.
In a nutshell, we find medium-term risk is increasingly skewed to
the downside:
To achieve the consensus (IEA) central oil production scenario,
Iraq would need to
have ~100 drilling rigs drilling some 400 wells per year by
2015.
Particularly in southern Iraq, operators are struggling with issues
that could broadly be
defined as subsurface/technical and above ground.
Figure 14: Southern distribution system plans
Zubair 1 Pump Station
& Iraqi NOC production

o Three links could hamper exports from the south, namely (a) the
network
of pipelines, (b) the storage facilities and (c) the pumping
station that
provides a connection between the fields and the main export depot
at
Fao. Furthermore, the available pumping and storage capacity at
Fao
itself, an important link between the fields and the offshore
loading
facilities, could be an additional blockage.
o Export capacity will eventually be enough, currently the goal is
to build
out ~6.5mbd of capacity by 2017, but Iraq does not have the ability
to
handle the logistics of building the pipes, loading stations,
storage
facilities and pumps, simultaneously, just sequentially. As a
result, putting
in place the necessary infrastructure will take much longer than
expected.
Iraq faces a water injection shortage of ~4mbd by 2016, which
jeopardises ~1mbd of
production capacity. Other Infrastructure issues abound.
o Water injection capacity stands at ~1.6mbd. By 2016 as much as
5Mb/d
of injection will be needed to sustain production. Increasing
water
injection is technically easy, but will be logistically
difficult.
o In Saudi Arabia a similar project (Qurayyah Seawater Plant
Expansion) to
increase injection capacity at an existing plant by 2mbd took
almost four
years to complete. We think it is safe to assume, that the Iraqi
ministry
and State Oil Company for Projects will take at least as long to
increase
Iraqi injection by 4mbd.
o Any significant delays or failure to meet water injection needs
means that
reservoir pressure in unsupported fields will fall, reducing well
flow rates,
making it difficult to increase oil output.
Unattractive contract terms, coupled with a patchy institutional
frame-work has
impacted project return profiles. Not coincidentally, several
operators have opted to
invest in the North, likely much to the chagrin of Baghdad;
o Beyond the lack of a basic oil law, of particular struggle are
the current
contract terms for individual players.
o Perfect contract implementation, which appears far from
forthcoming, is
key to getting a reasonable return on investment, in our
view.
o Operators have been frustrated with the contracts despite the
fact that
they were amended before signing, in order to (a) strengthen
security
provisions, (b) reduce the scope of government procurement
oversight,
(c) transfer infrastructure associated risks to the SOC, and (d)
provide
compensation for any, hypothetical, Opec-imposed production
restrictions.
o Current feedback from IOCs suggests that government
oversight,
bureaucracy, and security have been greater issues than
expected.
There is a serious shortage of skilled labour, compounded by the
myriad obstacles in
the way of deploying foreign expertise, of any origin.
o Another significant constraint on commercial activity is the
shortage of
skilled labour – steelworkers, welders and the like. Decades of
rule under
the Saddam Hussein regime and three significant wars have
hollowed
out Iraq’s, once sizeable, skilled labour force.
o This is relevant to the development of these mega fields. For
example, at
Rumaila over 90% of the 5,000 person workforce is Iraqi nationals,
many
of whom need significant training.
04 December 2013
Genel Energy plc (GENL.L) 12
o Yet, companies are finding it very difficult to get visas to
import the
necessary labour, especially for the Russian and Chinese workers
who
typically fill the gap when there is a need for technically skilled
labour.
Even more worrying, it appears to be difficult even to get visas
for people
to come and train Iraqis to fill the labour shortage.
o As of 2010 Iraq’s labour force was approximately 8 million
people, mostly
young unskilled workers. By 2020 that number is estimated to
increase
by 25% to roughly 10 million, again, mostly young unskilled workers
– all
of whom need to have jobs and a salary to support themselves.
o If Iraq does not find a way to significantly increase production
quickly,
demographic trends point towards the rapidly increasing possibility
that
significant political instability could prevent them from ever
producing
close to their geological potential.
Contribution from Iraqi Kurdistan can help both Iraq and
Turkey
Underlying global decline is ~4.5mbd pa. If you add 1mbd of demand,
5.5mbd is the
annual supply need. US/Canada is adding ~1.5mbd through shale.
Unless access to
easier reserves in southern Iraq / MENA / Venezuela improves (and
some of them are
going backwards), it is the service intensive deep-water, secondary
recovery mechanisms
(eg EORs) or yet to be found/developed international shale looking
to fill the void. Low-
cost KRI oil would help, and as production capacity increases (as
we see happening), it
should find its way to the market, and with the energy agreements
now formalised, this
looks likely, in our view.
The KRG has indicated it believes that it can export 1mbd by the
end of 2015 rising to
2mbd by 2019, which in our view is unrealistic. Below, we show the
potential production
capacity (not exports) in the region, but admit there could be
upside to the productive
capacity with further de-risking of the resource base and
discoveries in the region. For
example, Chevron is scheduled to declare commerciality at two of
its blocks in 2014.

Turkey is energy deficient in both oil and gas resources and must
import over 90% of its
energy needs. At the moment, its key suppliers are Iran and Russia.
Prior to the recent
sanctions, Turkey imported ~200 kb/d of crude from Iran. Gas
resources are strategic to
Turkey, and a GSA between Turkey and the KRG has reportedly been
signed paving the
way for Genel to sign its own GSA for Miran and Bina Bawi.
Why KRI Gas? Turkey mostly relies on gas imports from Russia
(~58%), Iran (~18%),
contracted LNG from Nigeria and Algeria (~17%), and Azerbaijan
(~7%) based on 2012
04 December 2013
Genel Energy plc (GENL.L) 13
data (~46bcm). Turkey also procures expensive spot LNG. The KRG
estimates gas
resources in excess of 100tcf in the KRI and it needs an export
market. KRI Gas would
allow Turkey to diversify its gas supply, whilst also being able to
reduce the gas input cost.
The latter is also the case as, unlike Russian exports, KRI gas
will not incur much transfer
fees along its transport route (ie it will not pass through third
party countries) and also
because of the short distance between the KRI and Turkey. This will
help with the current
account deficit of Turkey. The KRI potential would also help Turkey
in the longer term with
its ambitions of becoming a regional energy hub.

cost competitiveness

Importantly, the agreement for 20bcm, which is higher than the HoA
for 10bcm, according
to the Iraq Oil Report, will make the KRI one of Turkey's most
important long-term strategic
partners and may help Turkey to drive harder negotiations over the
price of gas imports
with its other suppliers.

Win-win situation. Turkey is amongst the largest consumers of gas
in Europe with gas
demand growing at >8% pa over the past 10 years. As consumption
per capita remains
relatively low, the growth trajectory is set to remain steep. Thus,
when thinking of Turkey
and gas, gas only becomes important once it can be exported and the
KRI will play an
important role. Contrary to this, gas reserves in federal Iraq lie
mainly in the Basrah
province and Iraq via the Basrah Gas company is prioritising gas
for domestic power and
industry unlike KRG’s commitment to Turkey.
Turkey and Gas – As one of the most dynamic economies in the world
(5% average real
GDP growth over 2002-2012), Turkey has steadily increased its
demand for energy and is
now the sixth largest energy consumer in Europe. The share of
natural gas in Turkey’s
energy mix has been growing and currently represents c.32% total
primary energy supply.
With little indigenous production (c.0.63bcm in 2012 or less than
2% of the demand) the
country is overwhelmingly dependent on pipeline and LNG
imports.

With Turkey’s demand for natural gas forecast to grow at a steady
rate (to >59bcm
according to Turkey’s Ministry of Energy forecasts), Turkey is
eager to diversify its sources
of supply. Azeri import is scheduled to increase by 6bcma once the
proposed TANAP
pipeline, which is designed to link Shah Deniz Ph II with European
consumers, comes
onstream. Securing further sources of future supply has proved to
be more challenging.
In 1999 Turkey and Turkmenistan signed an MOU for delivery of 16bcm
of gas, but the
agreement failed to take concrete form. With Azerbaijan keen on
developing its own
resource base and Iran and Russia’s opposition to the proposed
Trans-Caspian pipeline
we consider this a distant option. Exports of up to 6bcm of gas to
Turkey has been
mentioned as an option by the companies developing the Leviathan
gas discovery
offshore Israel, but the project is still at an early stage and may
prove politically sensitive.
Potential long-term agreement with Qatar may bring 2.5-3bcm a year,
but according to
industry press these volumes are likely to replace LNG cargoes
Turkey receives from
Algeria under the contract that is due to expire in 2014.
Potential gas from KRG is therefore an increasingly attractive
option for gas-hungry
Turkey and will place highly in the supplier order of merit. In our
view, aside from
rationales of diversification, Turkey will be especially keen to
replace Iranian volumes:
The price of Iranian gas supplied under long-term contracts is
higher than its Russian
and Azeri alternatives (>$500/mcm compared to ~$330/mcm for
Azeri and
>$400/mcm for Russia). In 2012 Turkey took Iran to international
arbitration claiming
that the prices it was paying were above international
prices.
Security of supply has been a concern. Iranian supplies were
interrupted several times
in recent years due to sabotage and explosions on the pipeline and
tended to depend
on weather conditions and Turkmenistan’s gas exports to Iran.
04 December 2013
Genel Energy plc (GENL.L) 15
The US has been tightening financial sanctions against Iran over
its nuclear
programme, and is putting political pressure on countries that
trade with Iran.
Turkey may also consider reducing the amount of gas it imports from
Russia. The reason
is twofold:
(1) due to lower cost and physical proximity Kurdistan may offer
more attractive
pricing, and
(2) with 58% of gas currently being imported from Russia, Turkey
is
uncomfortably dependent on one trading partner that is well-known
for driving a
hard bargain (as Ukraine and Belarus may testify).
Having a more diversified supplier base should strengthen Turkey’s
bargaining position.
Consolidation in 2014 in Kurdish Region of Iraq?
At the end of 2012, we said that we did not expect consolidation or
M&A to be the theme
in 2013, which has proven to be the case. 2014 could be different,
in our view. Admittedly,
we can ask ourselves why would Big Oil/NOCs grow inorganically in
the KRI after the
event (exports etc) when valuations could be richer? Why not do it
before, when it is
cheaper, but at a risk of spending billions without certainty of
the situation in the KRI? We
think it is the latter (ie Majors do not like uncertainty, in our
view) that stopped them from
fully committing, but this may change in 2014.
Differentiation is key. Big Oil can still drive harder bargains
with those companies that are
(a) capital constrained and (b) technically not capable to drive
developments. We see
plenty of companies with exposure to the KRI in this camp, where
Oil Majors can exercise
this leverage. The best positioned or one that has the most
sustainable business model
(cash flow and balance sheet strength), in our view, with exposure
to the KRI is Genel.

What makes Genel so attractive?
Portfolio quality – Genel has an attractive asset base with most of
its blocks in the KRI
defined as high quality, in our view, with a ratio of assets on the
fringe being low. In other
words, it is not a company that is a 'one trick pony' with a large
share of peripheral assets,
and we think that is also an important consideration. After all, if
a company is a 'one trick
pony', a Major/NOC may be better off buying the asset, not the
company. Genel stands
out in terms of portfolio quality, in our view.

Portfolio depth with high equity stakes – Genel has potentially
five big projects – Taq
Taq development upside, Tawke development upside, Miran gas
development, Bina Bawi
gas development and Chia Surkh. This is second to none in the
region, and for anyone
looking to gain a strong and dominant footprint in the region,
Genel could offer that. The
potential would represent a decent contribution to a Majors'
portfolio, in our view.

Capital light / features of long-duration – Genel's portfolio can
be described as (a) long-
life gas value chain with high IRRs (>20%) and (b) conventional
capital light (development
capex/boe of $4-5/boe), low capital intensive oil projects (with
IRRs of >40%) with features
of long duration (upside to recovery factors). We calculate
break-evens in the $20-30/bbl
range; in other words, on the right side of the cost curve
globally. Recovery factors
currently stand in the mid-30%, and this could rise to 50% plus
over time through the
application of simple techniques, such as horizontal
drilling.

Intangibles (ie relationship / technical know-how) – Genel has the
best relationships
(KRG and Turkey) in the region, in our view. This includes with the
KRG and Turkey, and
this is driven by a team led by Mehmet Sepil. This is an important
consideration, and we
have seen on many occasions companies (in particular NOCs) partner
with companies
that have strong relationships with the host governments. Any
company looking to acquire
Genel would likely want to ensure that this strong team remains in
place.
Technically, the same could be said for those without exposure to
the region or know-how
of the region. Drilling in the KRI is not particularly easy.
Although the structures
themselves are fairly simple (Taza for example is a four-way dip
closure), the drilling
involves pockets of extreme high pressure and extreme low pressure
related to active
deformation in the region. This gives rise to well control issues
and it is a great advantage
to have an experienced rig and crew.
Attractive exploration portfolio outside the KRI – The company is
first and foremost
about the KRI, but it also has a growing African exploration
portfolio – Morocco, Malta and
Somaliland. It is particularly encouraging to see growing industry
interest in Morocco
(particularly recently BP (a good explorer) farming-into Kosmos'
Morocco acreage), and
the play is well understood by Genel, which with the acquisition of
Barrus Petroleum
brought a team that looked at the play extensively over the past
4-5 years.
When extending the EMV beyond the usual 12-month forward looking
basis (ie beyond the
normal timeframe for setting TPs) to include more risked
exploration upside from Genel’s
Africa portfolio, we estimate the risked value potential is
>1,000p/share with substantially
more upside in the case of success. This is simply to highlight the
depth of the portfolio or
the potential incremental risked value addition over the medium
term. In other words, this
is not reflected in our valuation (consistent with our valuation
approach), which currently is
mostly derived from its asset base in the KRI.

O U T PERFO RM
The analyst(s) responsible for preparing this research report
received Compensation that is based upon various factors including
Credit Suisse's total revenues, a portion of which are generated by
Credit Suisse's investment banking activities
As of December 10, 2012 Analysts’ stock rating are defined as
follows:
Outperform (O) : The stock’s total return is expected to outperform
the relevant benchmark*over the next 12 months.
Neutral (N) : The stock’s total return is expected to be in line
with the relevant benchmark* over the next 12 months.
Underperform (U) : The stock’s total return is expected to
underperform the relevant benchmark* over the next 12 months.
*Relevant benchmark by region: As of 10th December 2012, Japanese
ratings are based on a stock’s total return relative to the
analyst's coverage universe which consists of all companies covered
by the analyst within the relevant sector, with Outperforms
representing the most attractiv e, Neutrals the less attractive,
and Underperforms the least attractive investment opportunities. As
o f 2nd October 2012, U.S. and Canadian as well as European ratings
are based on a stock’s total return relative to the analyst's
coverage universe which consists of all companies covered by the
analyst within the relevant sector, with Outperforms representing
the most attractive, Neutrals the less attractive, and
Underperforms the least attractive investment opportunities. For
Latin Ame rican and non-Japan Asia stocks, ratings are based on a
stock’s total return relative to the average total return of the
relevant country or regional benchmark; Australia, New Zealand are,
and prior to 2nd October 2012 U.S. and Canadian ratings were based
on (1) a stock’s absolute total return potential to its current
share price and (2) the relative attractiveness of a stock’s total
return potential within an analyst’s coverage universe. For
Australian and New Zealand stocks, 12 -month rolling yield is
incorporated in the absolute total return calculation and a 15% and
a 7.5% threshold replace the 10-15% level in the Outperform and
Underperform stock rating definitions, respectively. The 15% and
7.5% thresholds replace the +10-15% and -10-15% levels in the
Neutral stock rating definition, respectively. Prior to 10th
December 2012, Japanese ratings were based on a stock’s total
return relative to the average total return of the relevant country
or regional benchmark.
Restricted (R) : In certain circumstances, Credit Suisse policy
and/or applicable law and regulations preclude certain types of
communications, including an investment recommendation, during the
course of Credit Suisse's engagement in an investment banking
transaction and in certain other circumstances.
Volatility Indicator [V] : A stock is defined as volatile if the
stock price has moved up or down by 20% or more in a month in at
least 8 of the past 24 months or the analyst expects significant
volatility going forward.
Analysts’ sector weightings are distinct from analysts’ stock
ratings and are based on the analyst’s expectations for the
fundamentals and/or valuation of the sector* relative to the
group’s historic fundamentals and/or valuation:
Overweight : The analyst’s expectation for the sector’s
fundamentals and/or valuation is favorable over the next 12
months.
Market Weight : The analyst’s expectation for the sector’s
fundamentals and/or valuation is neutral over the next 12
months.
Underweight : The analyst’s expectation for the sector’s
fundamentals and/or valuation is cautious over the next 12
months.

*An analyst’s coverage sector consists of all companies cove red by
the analyst within the relevant sector. An analyst may cover
multiple sectors.
Credit Suisse's distribution of stock ratings (and banking clients)
is:
Global Ratings Distribution
Outperform/Buy* 42% (54% banking clients)
Neutral/Hold* 41% (49% banking clients)
Underperform/Sell* 15% (40% banking clients)
Restricted 3%
*For purposes of the NYSE and NASD ratings distribution disclosure
requirements, our stock ratings of Outperform, Neutral, and
Underperform most closely correspond to Buy, Hold, and Sell,
respectively; however, the meanings are not the same, as our stock
ratings are determined on a relative basis. (Please refer to
definitions above.) An investor's decision to buy or sell a
security should be based on investment objectives, current
holdings, and other individual factors.

Price Target: (12 months) for Genel Energy plc (GENL.L)
Method: We value Genel Energy at 1,430p/sh using a risked NAV
framework, and our TP is set in line with our risked NAV based on
$90/bbl oil long-term. We use a 12% WACC to reflect country risk in
deriving our valuation. We value the producing and development
assets using field by field DCFs. We value the contingent
(discovered but not developed) and exploration assets by
multiplying the resource potential, provided by the third-party
reserves auditor McDaniel & Associates, by an analogue NPV per
barrel. The resource base is risked according to McDaniel &
Associates' geological chance of success.
Risk: Risks to PSC terms - bidders in the first two licensing
rounds in southern Iraq in 2009 were awarded technical service
contracts (TSCs), which are less attractive than PSCs, but
potential reward is commensurate with risk (developing assets). It
is important to highlight two facts - (a) the position of the KRG
within the political power structure in Iraq, and (b) Taq Taq,
Tawke and Dohuk are pre-constitutional and therefore should not be
subject to amendments. Payment mechanism - Even assuming that the
current PSCs are ultimately ratified by the Iraqi central
government, a worst case scenario is one which involves no
near-term payment, resulting in a persistent discount to valuations
of E&Ps operating in the Kurdish region of Iraq. Political
differences - the issue around federalism and centralism is deeply
rooted. Security risks - The security situation following the US
troop withdrawals is uncertain and the Kurdish region of Iraq,
which is enjoying relative stability, may not be immune to
potential disruption, especially around the Kirkuk
governorate.

value of securities and financial instruments is subject to
exchange rate fluctuation that may have a positive or adverse
effect on the price or income of such securities or financial
instruments. Investors in securities such as ADR's, the values of
which are influenced by currency volatility, effectively assume
this risk. Structured securities are complex instruments, typically
involve a high degree of risk and are intended for sale only to
sophisticated investors who are capable of understanding and
assuming the risks involved. The market value of any structured
security may be affected by changes in economic, financial and
political factors (including, but not limited to, spot and forward
interest and exchange rates), time to maturity, market conditions
and volatility, and the credit quality of any issuer or reference
issuer. Any investor interested in purchasing a structured product
should conduct their own investigation and analysis of the product
and consult with their own professional advisers as to the risks
involved in making such a purchase. Some investments discussed in
this report may have a high level of volatility. High volatility
investments may experience sudden and large falls in their value
causing losses when that investment is realised. Those losses may
equal your original investment. Indeed, in the case of some
investments the potential losses may exceed the amount of initial
investment and, in such circumstances, you may be required to pay
more money to support those losses. Income yields from investments
may fluctuate and, in consequence, initial capital paid to make the
investment may be used as part of that income yield. Some
investments may not be readily realisable and it may be difficult
to sell or realise those investments, similarly it may prove
difficult for you to obtain reliable information about the value,
or risks, to which such an investment is exposed. This report may
