Two LNG Giants Race For The Same Gas
By Irina Slav - Mar 15, 2018, 4:00 PM CDT LNG

Two of the biggest LNG projects in the world are due to start production this year, both offshore Australia: Japanese Inpex’s US$34-billion Ichthys development, and Shell’s US$14-billion Prelude FLNG project. The projects are adjacent to each other, and according to Wood Mackenzie analysts, the Ichthys and Prelude may actually draw gas from the very same reservoir—turning the two into rivals in what is now a race to see who can get to the LNG first.

According to one analyst, this winner of this race could have huge implications for the loser. “The difference between Prelude starting six months before versus six months after Ichthys could be a few percent of their reservoir stake. That is a material amount,” Wood Mac’s Saul Kavonic told Bloomberg.

For now, Ichthys is scheduled to begin production before Prelude, so LNG analysts and traders are keeping a close eye on developments. What makes the situation even more interesting, however, is that the two companies have taken different approaches to LNG extraction. Shell has built the biggest floating structure in the world, the Prelude FLNG facility, to save on pipeline transportation costs. Inpex, on the other hand, has approached production from a more traditional angle, building an almost 900-km pipeline to the coast and liquefaction trains.

Ichthys has an annual production capacity of 8.9 million tons. Prelude will pump some 3.6 million tons of gas, adding to Shell’s already operational Australian LNG capacity of 9.5 million tons annually. So, should the Anglo-Dutch company really worry about Inpex drawing gas from the same reservoir?

Well, despite Wood Mackenzie’s analysis, there is actually an agreement that the two projects actually do share the Brewster reservoir. Geoscience Australia, a government agency, says they do. Shell Australia’s chairman, Zoe Yujnovich, said a few months ago that “they are connected reservoirs.” Inpex’s Senior Managing Executive Officer, Masahiro Murayama, said in February that the Ichthys and the Prelude fields are not connected. So the jury is out.

This disagreement is interesting because whether or not the fields are part of the same reservoir would determine drilling schedules and locations, one oil and gas exploration consultant told Bloomberg. In other words, their connection or lack thereof is potentially significant, said John Davidson, because “Gas at the top of the Ichthys field may be in direct contact with Shell’s Prelude block.” This means that taking gas off the top of the Ichthys field may take gas away from Shell’s Prelude block.

It’s worth noting that the two are in fact partners in the Prelude block, so Inpex is just as interested in that project doing well as Shell is. What’s more important is that the Brewster reservoir has enough gas for both. Ichthys alone has estimated reserves of 12 trillion cubic feet of gas and 500 million barrels of condensate—enough for 40 years of production. Prelude holds three trillion cubic feet of gas, also a rather impressive amount, with the field’s productive life estimated at 20-25 years. But here’s more: the two fields may be bigger than initially estimated, so there could be even more gas there than was originally thought.

So, Shell and Inpex don’t really have an axe to grind. They are partners in Prelude and their neighbors with regard to Ichthys and Prelude. They have worked together on a joint response system for spills. And there seems to be enough gas for both.

UPDATE: Royal Dutch Shell Reshuffles Board After Deputy Chair Resigns
Thu, 15th Mar 2018 10:34


LONDON (Alliance News) - Royal Dutch Shell PLC undertook a number of board changes Thursday after Deputy Chairman Hans Wijers said he will not seek reappointment in May.

Wijers - a former Dutch economic affairs minister appointed as non-executive in 2009 - will stand down after not seeking reelection at Shell's 2018 annual general meeting on May 23.

"Hans Wijers has confirmed he will not be standing for reappointment at the 2018 AGM," Shell Chairman Chad Holliday said. "I would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his nine years of outstanding contributions to the Board, including service as Senior Independent Director and Chair of the Corporate and Social Responsibility Committee. We will greatly miss his pragmatism, incisive leadership and strong collegiality and wish him continued success."

In a separate announcement, Shell announced it had appointed Gerard Kleisterlee as deputy chair from May to replace Wijers. Kleisterlee also will become senior independent director and a member of the Nomination & Succession Committee.

Shell also announced Ann Godbehere will be appointed as a director of the company on the same day as the meeting. Godbehere - a non-executive at Prudential PLC, Rio Tinto PLC and British American Tobacco PLC - served as chief financial officer at Swiss Re between 2003 and 2007.

"The Nomination & Succession Committee recommended Ann Godbehere's appointment to the board following its review of the skills, knowledge and experience needed and a rigorous and thorough search process," Holliday said. "Ann has a wealth of financial expertise, and the Board is delighted to recommend to shareholders that she be appointed a director of the company."

Shell also appointed Non-Executive Director Nigel Sheinwald as chair of the Corporate & Social Responsibility Committee. Another Non-Executive Director Linda Stuntz has been appointed as a member of the same committee. Both appointments are effective from May 23.

Shell "A" shares were 0.3% lower at 2,205.50 pence on Thursday,and "B" shares 0.1% lower at 2,228.50 pence.

Total boss bets on Mideast oil as big rivals favour US

Pouyanne: Ready to take risks.
Rate
Text Size: A A A

Bloomberg/Paris

Patrick Pouyanne, the boss of Total SA, sees risks differently. The French oil giant became the first Western major to sign a deal with Iran following the end of sanctions, has added projects in Abu Dhabi and Qatar and Pouyanne said last week’s $450mn acquisition in Libya is one of his “best deals ever.” He is expanding in the region even as some of his biggest rivals focus on politically safer US shale.
“We’re ready to take risks,” Pouyanne said in a Bloomberg TV interview in Houston.
In a way, Total is only bedding down in a region that has been prolific for the company for years. Pouyanne is chasing some of the lowest cost barrels in the Middle East and Africa and picking up assets as other Western companies exit from countries that have been torn by war and strife for years.
But it is also a gamble. In Libya, Total is buying in an area that occasionally comes under attack. In Iran, its deal is at the mercy of US President Donald Trump renewing the sanctions waiver.
“There is a risk in Libya. We’re not naive,” he said. “Having access to this concession which has plenty of resources is a good bet for the future.”
Total became the first partner in a 40-year concession for Abu Dhabi’s largest onshore oil fields in 2015, while Royal Dutch Shell and Exxon Mobil Corp - which had also been in the country for decades - passed on the opportunity. The following year, the French company beat competitors including Shell to replace AP Moeller-Maersk in Qatar’s biggest oil field. Total is now also keen to keep its interest in offshore concessions in Abu Dhabi.
“Pouyanne has a high risk tolerance,” Helima Croft, commodities strategist at RBC Capital Markets and a former analyst at the Central Intelligence Agency, said in Houston.
Part of Pouyanne’s justification for expanding in politically risky countries could be the way Total sees future oil consumption playing out. While Shell and BP see it flattening out in the 2030s, Total forecasts years of growing demand.
Total and its European peers trace a large part of their historical success to gaining access to big and cheap oil deposits in the Middle East and Africa. Yet, the energy world has turned upside down in the last decade as new technology unlocks massive reserves in American shale rocks. The speed of the transition caught some of the oil behemoths flat-footed. Most, including Shell, are now looking to catch up.
Pouyanne doesn’t think Total really needs shale assets to grow. Middle Eastern barrels can be produced for as little as $5, he said. The price of drilling rights in the Permian, the biggest shale-oil field in the US, has increased as production soared.
