Cameroon is a small producer of oil and a nascent gas producer. Oil production should slightly increase, after years of decline, with several small projects coming online. However, new exploration and discoveries will be necessary if Cameroon is to stabilise or grow output and conserve its net export potential in the longer term. While Cameroon's gas production will remain modest, the size of GDF Suez' proposed LNG terminal highlights production potential of over 5bcm by the end of our forecast period.

The escalation of the security situation in Iraq has been detrimental to the progress of the country and significantly impacted its future oil and gas growth prospects. Gas projects in the west and north have been cancelled or suspended due to violence, while major oil and gas companies have delayed expansion projects and evacuated non-essential staff. As a result we have revised down our long-term oil production forecast.

Although current domestic production of oil and gas is negligible, with imports meeting around 98% of current demand, we are witnessing a gradual but notable uptick in investment targeting Spain's upstream. The acceleration of onshore and offshore activity could cut Spain's hefty import bill, but there are political and regulatory risks that hold sizable downs risks to both conventional and unconventional efforts. However , the environment ministry has recently allowed deepwater drilling off the Canary Islands , and the Supreme Court has granted Repsol the authoris ation to start exploration after the permit had been legally challenged by local authorities. Also, in November 201 3 the central government legalis ed the process of hydraulic fracturing. However, while we see brightening prospects for onshore unconventionals, this upside is unlikely to significantly alter production for within our forecast period: significant technical, environmental and political obstacles preclude us from including significant shale gas production within our forecast period.

Belgium's Oil and Gas sector offers little upside for growth due to a lack of indigenous reserves. A small amount of unconventional exploration may be possible targeting Belgium's coal-bed methane, but the potential exit of one of the country's key energy companies is likely to negatively impact the rate of development. Belgium is expected to remain dependant on imports throughout the forecast period with limited potential to attract any major investment in the near term despite mature infrastructure in the country.

Germany will remain the biggest consumer and importer of oil in Western Europe for the next ten years. The country will also be the largest importer of natural gas. Largely due to this demand, the country has been unable to significantly deter Russia from its efforts to disrupt eas tern Ukraine, as its economy remains dependent on Russian supply.

The Kuwaiti government's dominant role in the oil and gas sectors is still the main challenge to private investment, and by extension, greater efficiency in the sectors. Kuwait's overwhelming dependence on oil and natural gas exports, which consistently invites government intervention, has and will continue to create a less competitive investment climate within the country. The government has managed to make measured strides in increasing production , but without more private sector investment, BMI expects that Kuwait will miss its 2020 target of 4mn b/d. On the natural gas front, Kuwait's modest reserves will eventually see it decline in production. This, in turn, will render imports more valuable to its overall domestic energy basket.

Despite continued opposition from environmentalist groups and the indigenous population, we maintain a broadly bullish outlook on Peru's hydrocarbons sector. Given the country's comparatively favourable business environment, attractive fiscal and licensing terms and a broadly supportive government, we forecast an uptick in exploration activity feeding growing oil and gas production over our forecast period. In particular, we see significant upside potential stem from proposed revisions to the country's hydrocarbons law, which could remove major bureaucratic obstacles to exploration and accelerate development of the country's sizeable resource base.

While we see a provisional uptick in oil and gas production in the UK from 2016/2017 onwards based on projects in the pipeline , the long-term trend remains one of stagnation given falling volumes from mature fields , a lack of significant new discoveries and increasing explo ration, production and operational costs in the region at a time when oil companies are seeking Capex cuts. While shale gas presents upside risk to gas production, this should not kick-in before the early 2020 s at the earliest.

Although prolonged delays at the Kashagan field are continuing to suppress Kazakhstan's huge underground potential, we maintain a positive longer-term outlook for the country's oil and gas sector, which is expected to see its oil and gas production levels nearly double over our forecast period to 2023.

Local Hackettstown heating oil service and delivery company, North Jersey Energy Corp, has recently launched a new website that provides visitors more ways to take advantage of their services.

Oil and gas security refers to the technological solutions implemented by companies to ensure the security of oil and gas infrastructure such as pipelines, refineries, and storage. Oil and gas products play an important role in the national security and national economy and are essential to the way of life. Security has always been and continues to be a priority across the Oil and Gas industry. Due to the growing demand for energy, the Oil and Gas Security market is experiencing significant growth.

Oil Guy Inc., a local Budd Lake heating oil service and delivery company, launched a new and improved website that provides a high level of interaction for customers.

Somerset Fuels launches their new website that allows customers to leave review their services and gives them a chance to win in their monthly drawing.

Shale gas is an unconventional natural gas trapped within shale formations, which is then explored through various technologies such as horizontal drilling, hydraulic featuring, etc. The depleting reserves of natural resources compelled the gas industries to focus on the unconventional resources such as shale gas. Shale gas holds the largest share of the global natural gas market. Due to the presence of huge shale gas resources in the region, U.S.A. is the biggest producer of natural gas and also the largest exporter of LNG (liquefied natural gas) and pipeline gases.

Singapore will remain a key oil hub and will likely emerge as the region's gas trade hub over our ten-year forecast period. LNG will also overtake pipeline gas imports from Indonesia and Malaysia as Singapore's dominant source of gas. While it will remain a significant refining country, it faces growing competition from emerging markets for the regional oil products market.

Taiwan is almost entirely dependent on imports to meet energy demand and is likely to stay in this state for the foreseeable future. A growing appetite for imported gas has created a need for fresh liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies. This creates opportunities for potential LNG sellers, though US supplies are likely to be favoured for their lower prices.

The outlook for Azerbaijan's upstream s ector is broadly bullish , with a substantial increase in the country's natural gas production offsetting a longer-term decline in oil output. We are more bearish on the downstream, and do not believe tha t forecast global refined fuels demand-supply dynamics will support the country's planned refinery upgrade and expansion projects.
