Michael Lynch: Declining Production At Saudi Arabia’s Largest Oil Field Is Not Cause For Concern
Saudi Aramco has now released its IPO Base Prospectus and the reaction has been varied and often confused. The headline was its $111 billion in profit, which many appropriately pointed out is not so much profit but rent. (See explanation below.) Second, the cost per barrel, put at $x, surprised many as seeming rather low. Recent supply curves have put Middle East onshore oil costs at $20-40/barrel, but before prices soared after 2003, estimates were much lower. Given that the big Middle Eastern producers were not experiencing depletion on any significant scale (Saudi Arabia was producing less than 2% of its reserves each year in the 2000s), implying that costs should not have increased as a result of depletion, and that the increases were cyclical, reflecting the stresses on the service industry as global upstream investment soared.
The other item that created at least a few headlines was the table on page 88 which referred to production capacity by field, showing that the supergiant Ghawar field has a capacity of “only” 3.8 million barrels per day, down from the conventional wisdom of 5 mb/d. Most considered this a surprise; one blogger said the news “shocked analysts” and one analyst claimed that “surprisingly low production capacity figure from Ghawar is the stand-out of the report”.
A reporter noted that the decline seemed to prove the late peak oil maven Matthew Simmons’ point that the Saudis would “struggle” to maintain capacity at Ghawar. In fact, it merely shows that the oil company chose to replace declining capacity in Ghawar by investing in other fields. (The choice of the word struggle is telling; Simmons provided no estimate of how difficult—or not—it was to add capacity. I struggle to put my socks on in the morning, but I’m not running out of feet.) As the figure shows, Saudi Arabia has the largest conventional oil reserves and one of the lowest rates of depletion in the world.
Oil Reserves by Country
The author from BP data
The point is that the Ghawar field, like all fields, has been depleting since the first barrel was produced. That’s what depletion means. It has not been in decline (in the sense of production trends) because the company long chose to replace depleting production with new investment—wells, water injection, etc.—that is the difference between the rate of natural decline (the percentage of reserves produced, in theory) and the actual decline, or production trend. Peak oil advocates long noted that the natural decline in Ghawar was thought to be 8%, meaning that all else being equal, production would drop 400 tb/d from the 5 mb/d level (year one) and 368 tb/d in year two and so forth.
Why did Ghawar’s production decline? Since the field still has 48 billion barrels of proved reserves (according to Aramco’s numbers), maintaining 5 mb/d should be technically easy. However, the field is not a stand-alone operation; Aramco has a choice of investments among numerous fields, and explicitly chose to add capacity elsewhere, as proven by the fact that the national capacity is 12 mb/d, showing no signs of decline.
Why invest in other fields instead of Ghawar? The economically rational explanations would be that the company wanted to exploit more favorable pricing for different crude qualities or that additional capacity in other fields had become cheaper because of geological, engineering, or geographical reasons. A more exotic reason would be if the engineering department wanted to test some recovery method that applied to another field; a more mundane rationale could involve better housing or restaurants in the preferred location.
Regardless of what other judgments are made about the Saudi Aramco offering, the company and country clearly have the largest reserves and among the cheapest.
[Profit is what you earned through your own actions. Rents are value that exists without the efforts of the producer, usually in commodities like gold or oil. If oil is worth $70 a barrel and costs $3/barrel to produce including a return on investment for the producer the rest is rents.]

“Saudi Arabia has the largest conventional oil reserves and one of the lowest rates of depletion in the world.”
That’s according to…Saudi Arabia. There is not, and never has been, an independent audit of Saudi oil reserves. Everything about KSA oil production is top secret. And while Simmons may have been premature, anyone with half a brain understands that oil is finite. No matter how big your reservoir is. It also doesn’t take much thought to consider that when you pump out millions of barrels a day for decades, your reserve figures should drop. Not in the magical KSA. They have reported exactly the same figure for reserves, 268 Billion barrels, literally for decades now. You really should look it up. It’s hilarious…
Of course Mike Lynch is poo-pooing the news that Saudi oil might finally be pissing dry. Well, it would explain Venezuela, now wouldn’t it…?
Ken Martin on Fri, 5th Apr 2019 5:26 pm
I agree Sunspot, the Saudis have NEVER been transparent regarding their oil supply, and the latest information out there doesn’t do much to satisfy the curiosity of oil geeks like me. All observers and interested parties are left guessing what the situation is in those great fields of Saudi and other ME countries. Maybe best to watch what they are doing rather than what they say. What they are doing: everything they can to diversify from oil, switch to natural gas wherever they can, trying to sell off a portion of their crown jewel Aramco, investing in nuclear power. Too bad the world has to guess about all this. At least in the free world countries try to be transparent about what they have.

Saudi Arabia Is Putting Down The Hammer On U.S. Crude Storage
“Since Aramco increased OSP to the U.S. back in November 2018, Saudi exports to the U.S. have dropped from ~800k b/d to ~350k b/d in March”
This sounds suspicious as according to EIA US imports from Saudi Arabia was 764K bpd last week after 490K bpd in the prior week.
Not aligned with 350K bpd for March.
Overall Saudis are working hard to reduce supplies worldwide and increase prices with no questions, and HFIR showed OSPs in Europe and Asia that certainly target to allow more space for US exports.
The question is why they are doing so drastically in all markets simultaneously? They never did so before.
Here’s the bomber answer:
For many years at high prices Saudi Arabia was building its own storage (SPR if you will) to about 350mm bbl (from my head).
In many years their strategy was releasing oil from SPR as needed during high demand summer times to maintain export shipments when their A/C demand rise by about 700K bpd (power plants use oil).
However after 2015-2016 price war their storage has came down to about 230 mm bbl (again from my head).
Plus after pleasing Trump in H2 last year their storage dropped to critical about 200mm bbl.
While the storage is still high it has smaller room to be depleted more during Summer, and Saudi Arabia has decided to reduce exports and not to ship from SPR in Summer for the 1st time.
Such strategy is perfectly aligned with the goal of allowing a space for US exports to Asia and Europe to drain US inventories.
Lower Saudis exports will lead to higher prices to compensate more for reduced exports.

And the rising tensions in the South China Sea. Exxon has major holdings via Vietnam and Malaysia; probably other large oil outfits do as well. China is asserting claims and building up military presence via artificial islands, using debt-trap diplomacy similar to the IMF to make regional countries more compliant. Glad I’m well past draft age.

If the Saudis reached their $70 a B goal today, it did, it doesn’t mean they intend to stop. Remember, we were averaging,
https://www.statista.com/statistics/262861/uk-brent-crude-oil-monthly-price-development/
As you see the last three years have been the anomaly. Not the reverse as some would have you believe.
Then ,we need to factor in elements.
1) Inflation: $81 bucks doesn’t buy what it did just four years ago.
2) Depletion. Consumption GREW in last 3 years.
More so perhaps because of historically low price.
Mexico, became a negative exporter in 2018.
3)Geopolitical: Venezuela, oil supplier to Caribbean, Central and South America, USA,
no longer batting for the West. Hardly batting at all. Venezuela too will become a negative exporter
soon.
3) Investors tired of losing money on shale. Most don’t understand why. Just gun shy.
4) Natural gas prices 300% LOWER than 10 years ago. Profits sucked as well.
5) President Trump endorsed switching Israel’s
capital from TelAviv to Washington DC or Jerusalem, I forget which. This did not go unnoticed by Arab populations around the ME.
(how did OUR oil get under all that Arab sand?)
IMO this act alone pushed the Saudi collation
further to the Right. (away from any democratic pretense) NOTE: SAUDIS are’CRACKING DOWN
Hard on dissenters, male and female.
I argue the Saudi regime is on shaker ground
today than ever.

Borssele 1400 MW largest offshore windfarm in the world now under construction in the Netherlands:
https://deepresource.wordpress.com/2019/04/06/largest-wind-park-in-the-world-borssele-under-construction/
Interesting detail: there is also an (onshore) Borssele nuclear power station of 400 MW.
So much for the dense people who claim that renewable energy is not “dense” enough.
Building a 1400 MW offshore wind farm takes 2-3 years to complete. A nuclear power station of 1000 MW up to 5 years and is much more expensive, certainly in the early stages of the renewable energy transition, when storage is not yet a problem.
But they are working on that as we speak and even flatland Holland can come up with solutions that don’t require mountains:

Cloggie on Sat, 6th Apr 2019 4:49 am
Proposed storage solution for the planned 11.5 GW offshore wind power:
Blue Battery
Forget about lead-acid or lithium-ion, too environmentally messy, too scarce resp.
Take salt sea water instead. The energy density is low (12-24 kWh/m3, rather than 1000 kWh/m3 as in your lead-acid car battery), but who cares if you have large water bodies at sea, protected by a ring dike, at your disposal of 5 km diameter.
Round-trip efficiency currently at 80%, with upward potential to 90%.

“30% Fuel Savings When Flying UTC’s Hybrid-Electric Regional Planes (Soon)”
http://tinyurl.com/y35gfpqn clean technical
“Collins Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney have converted a Bombardier Dash 8 project 804 into a hybrid-electric powerplant mounted on one side to fly a proof of concept. The aircraft will be used to show its technical viability, to prove that its hybrid propulsion system not only works but is economically viable. The obvious benefits are the massive fuel savings and maintenance.”
“Technically, the 2-megawatt hybrid-electric engine should be enough to shoulder 30 to 50 passengers between 200 and 250 nautical miles on hour-long trips. That segment is always highly focused, efficient, and segmented, so cutting fuel costs by 30% is nothing to sneer. The beauty of an aircraft is that it needs its 2 MW peak power at takeoff but then only needs half for regular cruising operations. Batteries, thus, just need to push out large amounts of power for a short while before hitting a more manageable cruising output.”
“In this case, efficiency means sacrificing some range. For the time being, the Dash 8 will see its range drop by around 40% down to 600 miles for that efficiency luxury. In order to explain the logic behind the design, Jason Chua, executive director of advanced projects at UTC, was quoted saying: “Given that 99 percent of the missions that these aircraft flies are under 500 miles and the drafting fuel savings you can get, this seems like a pretty reasonable trade-off.”

“Aramco’s “funds flow from operations” was $26 per barrel last year”
This is true as per this website and bloomberg calc.
If I apply the 2017 production rate of 11,951,000 barrels / day, it calculates to 4,362,057,538 in that year.
Now divide the $ 111 billion of profit.
111,000,000,000 / 4,362,057,538 = $25.44 and bloomberg calculated it to $26 / barrel based on 2018 production which could be slightly lower.
That means the cost of production could be somewhere around $40 / barrel on the market price of $66 / barrel.
Hmmm, the cost of oil production in Saudi Arabia is not $5 or $10 as some people predicted earlier.
