Japan's consumption of imported oil and natural gas has increased as a result of nuclear power generation losses in the wake of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. However, liquefied natural gas (LNG) consumption appears to have hit an upper limit as gas power is running near maximum capacity, while demand for expensive oil wanes. We expect some nuclear power will return to service in 2014 though it will be a slow and gradual process leaving Japan with significant long-term fuel import costs. As a result Japan is looking to move away from oil-indexed LNG, and is showing the most interest in North America's LNG projects.

The owners of 312 Manhattan Avenue had contacted Dual Fuel Corporation for an oil to gas conversion in January 2013. The heating system of this 59 unit multi-family building had an IC-ME-42 burner that was only capable of burning heating oil. Dual Fuel Corp replaced the burner with a brand new dual fuel capable IC-VLG-40 and performed an oil downgrade from #6 to #2. At the time of their conversion the owners were spending $65,000/year for #6 heating oil and now anticipate spending $38,800/year on natural gas- savings of 41%/year. This gas conversion & new burner project was started in June 2013 and completed in January 2014. To guarantee their conversion savings, the owners of 312 Manhattan Ave. signed with Dual Fuel Energy Corp. a 3 year price lock for the gas to hedge their conversion savings and guarantee a positive ROI on this project.

Upstream interest in Turkmenistan's growing gas reserves remains strong, with foreign players, particularly China, eager to gain access to the country's lucrative gas fields. The energy relationship between Turkmenistan and China continues to strengthen, with continued upgrades to existing long-term supply agreements and investment commitments. Turkmenistan has made ambitious gas production targets, raising its own forecasts of gas production in 2030 to 250bn cubic metres (bcm) from 230bcm previously. Although 2030 is outside our forecast period, the ambitious figures highlight the country's optimism, which is reflected in our forecasts for gas production, which we expect will more than double from 71bcm in 2012 to 186bcm in 2023.

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) purchase schemes, with Australian and Qatari volumes on the rise and Papua New Guinea set to become a new source of supply. The government has also allotted a monthly budget of approximately NT$17mn per month towards exploration activities, with operators eyeing deepwater exploration off Taiwan's south-western coast and near Itu Aba island, the largest island in the disputed and potentially oil-rich Spratly chain in the South China Sea.

The Qatari petrochemicals industry is witnessing strong growth as capacity expands, even in the face of a global economic slowdown and threats of escalating feedstock costs. Continued growth demonstrates the confidence the Qatari industry has in future prospects, although BMI warns that planned diversification will not be sufficient to ensure the sector can reap the full benefits of expansion.

Russia is pumping post-Soviet record levels of oil and is likely to continue to see a short-term increase in both oil and gas production, but a high level of investment will be required to maintain this. It also faces pressure to diversify its gas markets, in view of an increasingly challenging core market in Europe and growing competition from other global gas suppliers. Tax breaks given to encourage offshore and tight oil developments could help support Russian oil and gas output in the longer term, though we warn that the consolidation of Rosneft's position in the country's upstream segment limits gains from regulatory changes to privileged firms with political connections in the country. It also threatens to squeeze out Russia's independent refiners owing to Rosneft's control of crude oil supplies to the market.

Saudi Arabia's petrochemicals sector is the country's fastest growing and most significant industrial sector after crude oil production and is set to become ever more important as producers diversify and add value to the product slate, according to BMI's Saudi Arabia Petrochemicals Report for Q214. However, the exportorientated sector's vulnerability to the external market, a situation made worse by an overwhelming focus on basic chemicals, is beginning to erode margins as Asian demand growth weakens.

The extent to which the Israeli petrochemicals industry will benefit from growth will depend on the sector's competitiveness. Growth in natural gas production, with the beginning of production in the Tamar gas field, will provide an opportunity to reduce feedstock costs of an industry that is currently dependent on naphtha feedstock supplied by local refineries, according to BMI's latest Israel Petrochemicals Report.
