OPEC – What is it? 
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) 
 Mission: 
 to coordinate and unify the petroleum policies of its Member Countries 
and ensure the stabilization of oil markets in order to secure an 
efficient, economic and regular supply of petroleum to consumers, a 
steady income to producers and a fair return on capital for those 
investing in the petroleum industry. 
Key Facts: 
 is a permanent, intergovernmental Organization, created at the 
Baghdad Conference on September 10–14, 1960, by Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, 
Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. Comprising of 12 Member Countries with 
HQ in Vienna, Austria 
 80% of world production of the world's proved oil reserves are located 
in OPEC Member Countries, with the bulk in the Middle East 
 OPEC's oil reserves currently stand at well above 1,190 billion barrels 
(1.2 trillion barrels).

Highlights 
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p74Dgpr1EB0 
 Brent crude oil spot prices averaged $87/bbl in 
October. Since July 2014, Prices have dropped by 
over 25% 
 The global oil supply forecast for 2015 is 92.9 mbpd. 
 Saudi Arabia's production is still projected to decline 
in 2015 below its current level of 9.5 million bbl/d to 
avoid further downward pressure on oil prices. 
 Global oil prices are expected to hold at <$100/bbl in 
the short term. However in the long term, demand 
pressures and supply challenges will lead to a price 
increase to over $120/bbl.
What happens when 
a source of Oil & Gas 
is discovered? How 
is it set up?
Business Model – Process 
The Operator finds a place to drill a well (Prospecting conducted by specialists) 
Somehow the Operator finds a spot he thinks is likely to produce oil or gas. 
The Operator Leases the Land (Through auctions, bids conducted by local government) 
The Operator locates the Owners of the Land and arranges to Lease the Land for 
purposes of drilling a well. This arrangement may require the Operator to pay the 
Owners a monthly fee, plus an arrangement is made to pay them a percentage of the 
proceeds of the revenue generated when the well starts producing oil or gas. 
Formation of Partnership (Legal process, registration, incorporation) 
Since the cost of drilling a well is quite expensive, the Operator decides to raise some 
money from Investors to help defray the costs. For e.g. the Operator projects the well 
will cost $300,000 to drill. He decides to solicit 30 Investors at $10,000 each.
Business Model – Process 
Investors & Financing the operation (Banks, Big Oil Majors etc.) 
Each Investor can send his entire $10,000, or it might be constructed such that each 
Investor sends $5,000 and will be billed the remainder as expenses are acquired. 
Commencement of Drilling & extraction operations (Operator & Downstream partner) 
As the Operator begins to drill the well, he begins to accrue Expenses - Invoices are sent 
to the Operator. These Expenses need to be Billed to each Investor for his fair share. 
Production from Well - Begins to Produce Oil or Gas (Downstream Partner/Purchaser) 
Now that the Well is producing oil or gas, the Operator begins to sell the product to a 
Purchaser. The Purchaser send the Operator a Run Check periodically (fixed). This revenue 
needs to be disbursed to each Investor for his fair share.
Business Model – Process 
The new Producing Well (Asset) has multiple owners 
> Royalty Owner - the folks that Own the Mineral Rights to the Land - usually 
does not pay expenses but receives Revenue (State/National Oil Company, 
Public Utility, Local Government etc.) 
> Over Ride Owner (Investor) - does not own the Mineral Rights - usually 
does not pay expenses but receives Revenue (Statutory body, Ministry, 
State/National Oil Company etc.) 
> Working Interest Owner - Pays Expenses and Receives Revenue from sale to 
retailors, buyers etc. (Well Operator – BP, Chevron, Total etc.
India highlights 
Primary Energy overview 2013
India – Energy highlights (2013) 
 In 2013, the share of India’s energy consumption met 
by domestic sources fell to just below 59%, the lowest 
on record 
 India’s primary energy consumption increased by 
4.1% in 2013, lower than in 2012, but in line with 
slowing economic growth. India accounted for 4.7% of 
the world’s consumption. 
 Coal (54.5% of total consumption) remains the 
dominant fuel and its share was the highest since 
1993. Oil (29.5%) remained the second largest fuel, 
with natural gas (7.8%) and non-fossil fuels (8.3%) far 
behind.
India – Energy highlights (2013) 
 Consumption growth was led by hydro (14.3%) followed by 
renewables (8.3%) and then by coal (7.6%) - which still 
provided the largest increment in volume terms. Oil grew 
by a modest 1.2%, and nuclear by a very marginal 0.8%. 
Natural gas (-12.2%) declined for a third consecutive year. 
 Over the last decade, coal consumption has more than 
doubled. Oil consumption has grown by 50.5%, nuclear by 
83.6%, hydro by 90.3%, natural gas by 74.2%, and 
renewables by a factor of 8.7. 
 CO2 emissions from energy use increased by 4.4% in 
2013, lower than the ten-year average, taking India’s share 
of the world’s total to 5.5%. The increase was primarily 
due to rising coal use.
India – Energy highlights (2013) 
 The stagnant production growth of coal (0.1%), oil 
(+0.1%) and nuclear (0.8%), failed to offset the decline 
in natural gas output (-16.3%). 
 Natural gas production declined for the third consecutive 
year, while hydro, nuclear and renewables were at their 
highest levels ever. 
 Coal (65.3% of total energy production) remained the 
dominant fuel produced, followed by oil (12%) and 
natural gas (8.6%). Non-fossil fuels combined made up 
14.1%. 
 India produced 5.9% of the total global coal output, the 
5th highest in the world, and consumed 8.5% of the 
world’s total (3rd highest in the world).
India – Energy highlights (2013) 
 Refinery throughput reached a historical high of 4.5 
Mb/d in 2013, an increase of 3.7%, and taking India’s 
share in the world to 5.8%. 
 India’s energy production declined by 0.2%. India’s 
production is 2.8% of the world’s total. 
 India’s net energy imports increased by 10.9%, taking 
the share of domestic consumption met by imports to 
over 40%.

Challenges & Opportunities 
Characteristics & Challenges 
Alternate & Renewable Energy 
What’s next?
Characteristics & Challenges 
 Large oil price increases can have more adverse 
consequences on world economy. There is a 
nonlinear relationship between oil prices and 
economic outcomes, where large upward price 
increases have a disproportionately negative 
impact. 
 High prices leads to a ‘wealth shift’ from consumer 
economies to producing economies & low prices 
have a reverse ‘wealth shift’ effect. 
 Steep decline in prices leads to a reduced 
production & stifling of investment in production, 
technology as well as R&D.
Characteristics & Challenges 
 Characterized by ever increasing demand and 
simultaneously depleting reserves (supply). 
 Capital recovery (ROI) is extremely long and 
commencement of recovery is dependent on price 
variation. 
 Operating Margin is completely dependent on 
variable Market prices and fixed operating costs. 
Operator is unlikely to extend/expand/explore in 
the event of a price drop.
Alternate & Renewable Energy 
 High prices in Oil ensure a high operating 
margin for the major companies. This margin 
then funds further investment and research in 
Alternate fuel & energy. 
 Lower prices in Oil leads to an almost 
complete shut down of investment in Alternate 
Energy. This is a paradoxical relationship and 
will define the future energy scenario of the 
world.
What’s next? Oil & Gas 
 Global Production (fossil fuels) will steadily 
grow at roughly 1% over the next 25 years to 
120 mbpd; or approximately 696 trillion BTUs. 
 Global consumption will grow at slightly over 
1% pa over the next 25 years to reach 240+ 
quadrillion BTUs. 
Note 
1 million barrels = 5.8 trillion BTU (approximately) 
1 quadrillion = 1000 trillion = 10^6 billion = 10^9 million
What’s Next? Oil & Gas 
 Natural Gas demand likely to increase in all 
regions and across all sectors. This will be 
led by greatest growth in production Shale 
Gas, growing at (6.5% p.a.), providing nearly 
half of the growth in global gas. 
 Global demand for natural gas will grow by 
1.9% p.a.
