Offshore Oil & Gas Developments in Asia Pacific - Burgeoning Energy Demand Drives Exploration and Production Activities

Rising Need to Reduce Dependency on Import Drives Asia-Pacific Countries to Boost Oil and Gas Production through Offshore Activities

The need to reduce dependency on imported oil and gas is leading countries in Asia-Pacific to increase their domestic production of energy resources by increasing offshore exploration and production (E&P) activities. Countries in the region are witnessing increasing import dependency for oil and gas amidst their rising energy consumption, which is being driven by rapid economic development.

Over the last decade, the Asia-Pacific region has witnessed the fastest economic growth among all the regions of the world, primarily driven by the emerging economies in the region, such as China, India, Indonesia and Thailand. This rapid economic growth has resulted in a sharp increase in the consumption of energy resources in the key economies of Asia-Pacific, led by China, India, Indonesia and Thailand. An increase in oil and gas consumption coupled with limited domestic supply has led to the increasing import dependency of these countries for their oil and gas requirements.

In such a scenario, emerging economies have been taking a multipronged approach to ensuring their energy security. Key steps in this pursuit include increasing the domestic production of oil and gas through development of unconventional resources, developing conventional resources in the offshore areas, and ensuring a supply of oil and gas from international markets through investing in unconventional and conventional oil and gas projects in international markets.

Kinder Morgan’s agreement to acquire El Paso for $37.8 billion was the major deal that led a substantial increase in deal values in the midstream sector in Q4 2011. The transaction valued the midstream assets of El Paso at $31.8 billion and the upstream assets at $6 billion.

The industry registered eight high-value deals of over $1 billion in Q4 2011, which accounted for 80% of the total deal value in the quarter. North America accounted for nearly half of the M&A deals in the oil and gas industry with 78 deals in Q4 2011, up 8% over the previous quarter’s 72 deals.

Reasons to buy

• Enhance your decision making capability in a more rapid and time sensitive manner
• Find out the major deal performing segments for investments in your industry
• Evaluate type of companies divesting / acquiring and ways to raise capital in the market
• Do deals with an understanding of how competitors are financed, and the mergers and partnerships that have shaped the oil and gas industry
• Identify major private equity/venture capital firms that are providing finance in the oil and gas industry
• Identify growth segments and opportunities in each region within the industry
• Look for key financial advisors where you are planning to raise capital from the market or for acquisitions within the industry
• Identify top deals makers in the oil and gas industry

According to Swati Singh, Lead Analyst at GlobalData, “M&A activity in the Oil & Gas industry rose in 2011 as compared to 2010 both in terms of deal volume and the total deal value. Oil and gas companies struck 657 M&A deals worth $278 billion, compared with 638 M&A deals worth $217 billion recorded in 2010. The top 15 M&A transactions accounted for 44% of the total deal value on 2011; the largest transactions included Kinder Morgan's acquisition of El Paso for $37.8 Billion and BHP Billiton acquisition of Petrohawk Energy for $15.1 Billion. With crude oil prices stabilizing above $95 a barrel, the positive trend that we have seen in the recent months is likely to continue into 2012 with Asian companies expected to be the major players in the M&A landscape. Major IOCs and Asian National Oil companies are expected to drive M&A investment in unconventional oil and gas sector to offset their output declines from mature assets and to secure energy supplies.”
