Workshop on the economic impact of rising oil prices Draft Programme

28 June 2006

European Parliament Brussels Room ASP 5G3 9.30h – 18.00h

9.30 - 12.30 Session 1 Macroeconomic consequences of rising oil prices

• Comparing previous oil price shocks to the current situation: Why does the economy react differently this time round (low inflation, so far no second-round effects)?

• What macroeconomic consequences can be expected from the current oil price situation? - inflation - demand - employment - growth

• Which macroeconomic policies would be appropriate?

Guest speakers: - Dietrich Domanski, Head of Macroeconomic Monitoring Unit, BIS - Marcelo Sanchez, Senior Economist, ECB - Drs Han. de Jong, Chief Economist, ABN Amro 10.45 - 11.00 Coffee break

Consequences of rising oil prices for financial stability

• Is there speculation going on in the financial markets in a noticable volume? Are new instruments being created to speculate on oil price changes? Can speculation or the use of speculative instruments seriously endanger financial stability?

• How can the lack of transparency be tackled (Joint Oil Data Initiative)? • Recycling of petrodollars • Peak oil discussion

Guest speakers: - Mr. Jeffrey Currie, Goldman Sachs, Managing Director and Head of Commodities Research - Christie Sanders, Managing Director Sanders Research - Pekka Lösönen, Eurostat - Joint Oil Data Initiative Representative - Dr C. Campbell, Chairman & Founder of the Association for the study of Peak Oil (ASPO) 14.30 - 18.00 Session 2 Microeconomic consequences of rising oil prices, competitiveness and taxation

• Sectoral impacts due to substitution effects based on the assumption of high standing oil prices. Who will be the winners/losers? Which are the impacts on economic sectors, notably on transport, petrochemicals, automotive, farming, tourism etc. Which types of substitution effects might occur?

• Potential impacts on trade due to rising transportation costs. Which are the impacts on division of work within firms and among firms, their current organisation being based on cheap transportation costs?

• How to take advantage of the move towards a new era of high oil prices in terms of competitiveness and new economic activities for the EU? Can public policies speed up the adaptation of the EU economy to an era of high oil/fossil energy prices? Which are the best policy tools: industrial policy, R&D policy, taxation? Is there room for economic policy to decrease the level of uncertainty about future energy situation? Which are the links with environmental considerations, notably environmental taxation?

• How to take into account all costs related with energy production, consumption and use, notably negative side effects (negative externalities) so that economic decisions are based on all parameters? How to better 'internalise' negative externalities due to oil consumption? Opportunity for an EU tax?

Guest speakers: - David Baldock, Institute for European Environmental Policy - Stephan Herbst, Toyota Motor Europe, Manager Environmental Analysis and Strategy - Dr Manfred Meier, Director Technology Science,Volkswagen, - Olivier Schaeffer, Policy Director, EREC Panellist: - Robert Klotz, European Commission, DG Comp, Unit Energy and Water

Page 2 of 291

16.00 - 16.15 Coffee break Geopolitics and Security of Supply

• Visionary and strategic assessment of the situation • Are there competition issues on a global level? (oligopoly structure) • Which would be the best structure of the EU energy market taking into account the need

for security of supply? • Oil versus gas – repercussion on the gas market and gas price changes • New industrial revolution, futuristic visionary thinking, moving towards an exit from oil

dependency • To which extent can renewable energy contribute to security of supply? Which renewable

energy should be preferred? Which are the drawbacks of renewable energies? Are all renewable energies neutral for the environment?

Guest speakers: - Dr Hasan Qabazard, Director Research Division, OPEC - Mr Pierre Sigonney, Strategy Department of Total - Raphael Sauter , SPRU Energy Group University of Sussex (author of Exploiting the oil GDP effect to support renewables redeployed) - Alexandre Clauwaert, Strategy department Suez (gas, electricity and renewables) Panellist: - Ioannis Samoulidis, European Commission, DG Tren, Energy Policy and Security of Supply

How large is the current oil price shock compared to those in the 1970s?Why have oil importing economies been much more resilient than in the past?Will the effects of high energy prices remain benign?

Conclusion

Oil prices have risen primarily because of strong global demand growth and not disruptions of oil supply.Low and stable inflation has mitigated the impact of rising energy prices on oil importing countries.But concerns about oil supply have grown and inflation risks seem to have increased recently.

Oil price shocks are expected to have• supply-side effects: higher inflation and lower

real output• terms-of-trade effects: support aggregate

demand in oil exporting countries and lower it in oil importing countries

Additional remarks

• Labour market- oil shocks found to lower real wages and raise unemployment

• Long-run growth- oil shocks seen as discouraging investment, with an adverse effect on capacity expansion

• First versus second round effects- hard to disentangle; both likely to play a role

Recent observation

Observations are from 1991 to current

The fundamental relationship between inventories and the spread between spot and long-dated oil prices still holds

true as it did 10 years ago.

Metals producers are facing an increasingly difficult operating environment

• Producer country governments are raising taxesExamples: Chile has just adopted a new tax law which will require mining companies to pay up to 5% of operating income, while the new Peruvian tax requiring payment of up to 3% of mineral sales has just become effective

• Labour unions are demanding higher payExamples: Just in copper in recent months, we have the strike at Asarco, as well as labour actions at KCM and Chambishi in Zambia, and Zaldivar and Escondida Norte in Chile

• Opposition from local communities is increasingExample: BHP pays 3% of the Tintaya mine’s profits to Peruvian community groups, but unrest continues

• Infrastructure to support mining operations is inadequateExample: Heavy Chinese investment is needed in Brazilian rail and port infrastructure to allow the further development of the Brazilian resource extraction industry

As a result, long-dated prices are beginning to rise in metals as well

Gold

Currency Basket

A currency basket comprised of AUD, CAD, ZAR, EUR, JPY and INR explains 80% of historical variation in gold prices. Deviations reflect a re-equilibration of the level of the relationship between the currency basket in gold in response to lower supply growth (e.g. South African production) and increased investment in jewellery demand. We believe that the relationship between changes in gold prices and the exchange rates will reassert itself in coming months, albeit at a higher equilibrium level.

A simple example of investment under uncertainty

A simple example explained

Source: Goldman Sachs Commodity Research.

Investment under uncertaintyProject has a $40/bbl breakeven cost today

with a 50% chance of dropping to $20/bbl next year

Prices are $50/bbl and are expected to remain at these levels

If we invest today,Project has an NPV of $1.1 billion

However, if we delay investment, then there is a 50% chance that costs decline and the NPV of the delayed project is $3.0 billion50% chance that costs are unchanged and the NPV of the delayed project is $1.0 billion

The expected NPV of the delayed project is $2.0 billionExpected NPV = 50% low-cost NPV + 50% high-cost NPV($2,000 = 0.50*$3,000 + 0.50*$1,000)

If prices remain at $50/bbl we will delay investment until next year, asExpected NPV of a delayed project > NPV of investing today in the project(i.e., $2,000 > $1,100)

This implies that the value of the option to wait is $900 millionThe difference between the NPV of delaying investment and the NPV of investing today($900 = $2,000 - $1,100)

To incentivize investment today the price would need to rise such that theNPV of investing today is equal to the NPV of delaying investment at a price of $50/bbl

Prices would need to rise to $58.50/bbl to increase the NPV of investing today to $2.0 billion

As a result, the uncertainty has pushed prices up nearly $9/bbl to incentivize investment today

Once the marginal project is known and the uncertainty is resolved, the long-dated price will quickly converge back

down to the cost of that marginal project, which would become the new equilibrium price.

Ratings, coverage groups and views and related definitionsBuy, Neutral, Sell –Analysts recommend stocks as Buys or Sells for inclusion on various regional Investment Lists. Being assigned a Buy or Sell on an Investment List is determined by a stock’s return potential relative to its coverage group as described below. Any stock not assigned as a Buy or a Sell on an Investment List is deemed Neutral. Each regional Investment Review Committee manages various regional Investment Lists to a global guideline of 25-35% of stocks as Buy and 10-15% of stocks as Sell; however, the distribution of Buys and Sells in any particular coverage group may vary as determined by the regional Investment Review Committee.

Return potential represents the price differential between the current share price and the price target expected during the time horizon associated with the price target. Price targets are required for all covered stocks. The return potential, price target and associated time horizon are stated in each report adding or reiterating an Investment List membership.

Coverage groups and views: A list of all stocks in each coverage group is available by primary analyst, stock and coverage group at http://www.gs.com/research/hedge.html.

The analyst assigns one of three coverage views (see definitions below), which represents the analyst’s investment outlook on the coverage group relative to the group’s historical fundamentals and valuation. Each coverage group, listing all stocks covered in that group, is available by primary analyst, stock and coverage group at http://www.gs.com/research/hedge.html.

DefinitionsOutperform (OP). We expect this stock to outperform the median total return for the analyst's coverage universe over the next 12 months. In-Line (IL). We expect this stock to perform in line with the median total return for the analyst's coverage universe over the next 12 months. Underperform (U).

The investment outlook over the following 12 months is neutral relative to the coverage group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Cautious (C). The investment outlook over the following 12 months is unfavorable relative to the coverage group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation.

Current Investment List (CIL). We expect stocks on this list to provide an absolute total return of approximately 15%-20% over the next 12 months. We only assign this designation to stocks rated Outperform. We require a 12-month price target for stocks with this designation. Each stock on the CIL will automatically come off the list after 90 days unless renewed by the covering analyst and the relevant Regional Investment Review Committee.

The Impact of Oil Depletion

ByC.J.Campbell

ASPO IRELANDwww.peakoil.ie

Page 157 of 291

Find it first

It costs money to find oil$10 - 20 million a wildcat

But it takes much more than moneyIt takes the right geology

We have new sophisticated methods to searchBut the same rocks and essentials

Page 158 of 291

The Essentials

Oil & Gas formed in the geological pastA finite resources subject to depletionEach gallon used means one less left

Production mirrors discoveryMany different categories

Some: easy, cheap and fast to produceOthers: difficult, expensive & slow

Page 159 of 291

It is so obvious

Depletion is easy to grasp We are born, we die and pass middle ageThe glass starts full and ends empty

Page 160 of 291

A Pint of Murphy’s Stout

Page 161 of 291

The same applies to Oil

How has such an obvious and important truth been obscured and confused ?

Ambiguous definitionsMisunderstood reporting practicesDifferent mindsets

Page 162 of 291

Mindsets : who to listen to?

The Geologist measures NatureHe can’t change the Cretaceous

The Economist measures MoneyHe can manipulate behaviour

The Engineer does thingsGive him a screwdriver & he goes to the Moon

The Manager makes money & image

What an Oil Reservoir looks like

Oil fills the pore-space between the grains of sand,which are coated in a film of water. The oil has to flowthrough these constrictions.

Physical decline of oil is gradual but the turning point is unprecedented.

Debt is losing its collateral.Was based on oil-driven expansion

Easy Wins are Possible

• In Road Transport• Correct tyre pressure could save 125,000 bbl/day • Enforced 90kph speed limit could save over 0.5 mbbl/day

• In Maritime Transport• Slower ship speeds could save 23% of fuel used

• A wide range of technical and operational responses available

Page 202 of 291

Alternative Fuels

• Alternative Fossil Fuels• A range of sources eg oil shales, tar sands• Likely high energy costs to extract

• Biofuels• ‘1st generation’ offer some CO2 benefits• ‘2nd generation’ likely to be much better • A wider range of feedstocks will be usable

• High oil prices make the alternatives more attractive• There is a choice between high and low carbon routes

Page 203 of 291

Vehicle Efficiency

• A ‘win-win-win’ option• Reduced cost• Reduced fuel dependency• Reduced greenhouse gases

• Enormous technical potential• Dieselisation• Improved engines and drivetrains• Lighter and more streamlined vehicles• Hybrids• Fuel cells

Future Choices

• Stronger policies are likely to be needed• A mandatory requirement on carmakers• Continuing development of advanced biofuels• Better use of vehicle and fuel taxes

• Significant change is possible in transport• Some operational changes could be cheap and easy• Bigger technical changes may be cost-justified by high oil price

• Potential benefits are large• Reduced oil dependency• Reduced greenhouse gases• Reduced running costs

Cost of automotive mobility

The cost of automotive mobility is influenced byseveral developments:

Fuel pricesFuel taxation systemCar taxation system

The taxation system should be harmonised throughout the EU.At present, there are luxury tax, registration tax and additional taxes in several countries.The car taxation system is currently based on different aspects within the EU (cylinder capacity, CO2 performance, kilowatt, exhaust emissions, fuel consumption, weight).

Road pricingVehicle prices which are heavily influenced by requirements on vehicle characteristics set out by EU regulation, e.g. in theareas of CO2, safety and recycling.

If the current development continues, the economic challenge for the consumer will be to earmark an increasing part of the budget for mobility.

Against the background of a constant purchasing power, the rise of automotive mobility costs leads to an increasing risk for the competitiveness of the European automotive industry and European growth and employment.

Lean and Better Regulation – Enforcement of CARS 21.Integrated approach in order to achieve objectives in the mostcost-efficient way.EU-wide harmonisation of passenger car taxation.Market introduction of and level-playing field for biofuels as an accompanying measure in order to contain the crude oil market’s speculative elements.

Request: No further increase of mobility costs.

Global energy security

This is so fundamental to life in the 21st century that every effort should be made to:

Clarify its meaningGain a consensus on itEmbody its true principles in decision-making across the energy sector

Page 241 of 291

Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries 3

Qualities of energy security

This should …

• Be reciprocal – security of demand is as important as security of supply

• Apply to all energy sources free from prejudice

• Extend across the entire supply chain

• Cover all foreseeable time-horizons

• Focus on the most modern products, with the highest environmental standards and latest technology

• Apply to rich and poor nations alike

• Be openly receptive to dialogue and cooperation

Overview

Page 266 of 291

Sussex Energy GroupSPRU - Science and Technology Policy Research

The Oil-GDP effect

• Oil price increases and volatility dampen economic growth by raising inflation and unemployment

• Since the mid 1980s not only oil price levels but also volatility is an important factor

• Asymmetric relationship between oil price increases / decreases and GDP

• Despite changes in the oil-GDP effect, there is no doubt about the negative impact of oil price fluctuation on GDP

• Doubling in oil prices reduces GDP by around 5% - however very different for individual countries:

Investments in renewable energy sources to mitigate oil-GDP effect

Investments in renewable energy sources create benefits in terms of avoided GDP loses:

• A higher share of renewables in the electricity supply reduces demand for natural gas which reduces natural gas prices

• Through the gas-oil substitution effect oil prices will come under pressure

• Avoided oil price increases and volatility produce avoided GDP losses

Implications for security of supply

Investments in renewable energy sources enhance energy security:

• by helping reduce exposure to oil-GDP losses• by contributing to an optimized generation portfolio and

therefore mitigating risk due to minimised exposure to fossil fuel price volatility

• by providing a form of ‘national insurance’ (Lind/Arrow) in that prices move against the value of other financial assets

Page 272 of 291

Sussex Energy GroupSPRU - Science and Technology Policy Research

Conclusions

• Investment costs in renewables can partially be offset by avoided GDP losses

• Currently fuel price risks in the electricity supply system are passed through to consumers and reduce their disposable income

• European oil and gas market structures will have to change to fully allow for the potential of avoided GDP losses

• An increased share of renewable energy sources in the supply portfolio constitutes a no regrets policy

• Similar conclusions apply to investments in energy efficiency measures
