Now Available: Philippines Oil & Gas Report Q4 2014

The Philippines will likely remain a small producer of both oil and gas over our forecast period. Faster consumption growth than output increases will see the Philippines remain a net importer of crude oil and oil products, as well as join ing the ranks of gas importers in the world.

The main trends and developments we highlight for the Philippines' oil and gas sector are:

* We forecast relatively stagnant growth in the Philippines' oil and gas reserves, owing to the limited number of discoveries made.
* Crude oil production may increase between 2014 and 2018 thanks to new projects coming online, but without further discoveries this could again fall from 2018.
* Gas production is set rise slightly as ongoing developments help to stabilise production at the key Malampaya gas field. However, there are no new projects to boost Philippines' gas production further.
* Although refining capacity will remain flat, upgrades to the country's two refineries will help improve utilisation rates and refined oil output over our forecast period.
* Oil consumption will likely trend upwards over the long-term alongside economic growth.
* The shortfall of domestic crude and domestic refined oil to demand will see the Philippines continue as a net importer of both crude and refined oil.
* Gas consumption will see greater growth than oil as it becomes an increasingly important source of fuel for power generation.
* The start-up of an LNG import terminal at Pagbilao and a likely project at Batagas will allow the Philippines' gas demand to grow beyond domestic gas output. However, we note that infrastructure delays risks pushing back the country's gas demand growth beyond our forecast period.
