"Asia National Oil Companies"
The Asian region has witnessed a huge increase in crude oil and natural gas demand over the past years. The crude oil consumption in the region increased at AAGR of 2.3% during 2000-2008 and natural gas demand increased at an AAGR of 6.8%. During 2009-2020, the demand in the region is expected to continue to increase at a steady pace with crude oil demand increasing at an AAGR of 2.5% and natural gas at an AAGR of 4.5%.
The rapidly growing demand and only a slight increase in production will lead to an increased dependence on imports. The region’s dependence on crude oil imports is expected to increase from approximately 70% in 2008 to approximately 76% in 2020. The dependence on imports for natural gas supplies is expected to rise significantly from 5% in 2008 to 20% in 2020.
The aggressive acquisitions of the Asian national oil companies over the past years have strengthen these companies’ operations internationally. All major Asian NOCs have E&P operations across the globe with CNPC leading the group with operations across 27 different countries globally.
The Asian NOCs have fast expanded their international operations over the past years. Currently, the foreign operations account for a major share of overall operations of these companies. The share of foreign reserves in the Asian NOCs total reserves ranges from 16% to 34%. The share of production ranges from 12% to 35%.
With increased interest in foreign acquisitions and a large share of international assets in their overall portfolio, the international operations of these NOCs are expected to witness a steady growth.
The Asian NOCs have been aggressively investing in acquiring oil and gas assets globally. The Asian national oil companies spent over $48.8 billion during 2005-2009 in different M&A and asset transaction deals. The Chinese NOCs have been the most aggressive acquirers over the past years, together spending almost $26.6 billion to acquire properties abroad, followed by Korea National Oil Company which spent over $10.5 billion. The Chinese NOCs have been aggressively acquiring oil and gas assets over the past two years, spending $17.8 billion during the period.
