Global Peak Oil Summary

This dashboard is designed to quickly summarize the global oil market over the past quarter. By keeping track of key quantitative indicators on a quarterly basis, this dashboard can help monitor the onset of peak oil.

Supply
The global rate of oil production is up slightly year-over-year. However, during the same period global net exports of oil declined. Production gains in Russia, the US and Canada are just barely offsetting production declines in Norway, UK, Latin America and the Middle East. Global supermajor production continues to fall. Based on this data, we are likely still on the "bumpy plateau" of peak oil and have likely passed "peak oil exports."

Demand
Global oil consumption was up slightly year-over-year with almost growth coming from the developing world. The developed world continues to fall from its "peak oil demand" peak. The economies of the developed world are shrinking on a relative basis to the global economy. Europe is officially in a double-dip recession. GDP growth remains strong in Asia and the developing world. In Q1 2013 China overtook the US as the world's largest oil importer - the first time the top spot has changed hands in 41 years.

Price
The price of Brent crude oil has been volatile and fell nearly 10% year-over-year, but remained well above historical averages. Prices in futures and options markets seem to indicate a belief that oil prices will continue to fall, possibly due to slowing global economic growth. The global money supply rose over 6% yearover-year as central banks pumped more money into their economies, but a falling velocity of money from economic stagnation has so far kept inflation from pushing up oil prices in real terms.

Oil Supply: Global Oil Production Rates

The global oil production rate is up slightly year-over-year but has slowed since Q1 2013. The growth rate of the global oil production rate has been declining for nearly 30 years and is well below its 1986 peak. Major improvments in production rates in the past year have occured in the United States, Canada, Russia, China and West Africa. US oil production increased dramatically due to shale fracking, helping to offset the decline in production from Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico. Lybia experienced major production rate gains as it ramped back up following the Arab Spring.

Oil Supply: Export Supply

The Top 10 Oil Exporting Countries Represent 81% of World Oil Export Supply - Net Exports Estimated Using Jeffrey Brown's Export Land Model Global oil exports remain relatively flat year-on-year but are still down about 3 MMBPD from their peak in 2004. Six of the top 10 oil exporting nations are now experiencing 5-year net export rate declines. Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Venezuela, Norway and Libya are all seeing lower rates of net exports. This decline has been somewhat offset by huge increases in oil exports from Iraq and Canada. Total liquid production rates continue to decline for the Supermajors. Overall, global net oil exports do not appear to be responding to record-high oil prices, signaling that we may be on the "bumpy plateau" of peak oil and may have passed the point of "peak oil exports."

Russia Q2 2013 News

In Q2, Russian oil production continued past its a postSoviet record achieved in Q1 2013. Russia is now the worlds largest oil producer and world largest oil exporter. In Q1 China passed Europe to become Russias number one oil market. In Q2, the Sino-Russian energy relationship grew even stronger. Russia announced that China National Petroleum Corp will begin exploring for Arctic oil in Russian waters alongside Rosneft. Rosneft then signed a 25 year agreement to deliver 365 million tons of oil to China - one of the largest oil deals in history. Russia gave temporary asylum to US whistleblower Edward Snowden - harming US-Russian relations.

Saudi Arabia Q2 2013 News

Export cannibalization continues to grow in Saudi Arabia. The Saudis have 3 new refineries under construction that will reduce net exports by 1.2 million BPD in 2017. In Q2, Saudi Arabia passed Germany in total oil consumption. Perhaps indicating Saudi Peak Oil is imminent, Saudi Arabia's Oil Minister Ali Al-Naimi was quoted as saying "We dont really see a need to build a capacity beyond what we have today." Stability remains precarious: oil revenue accounts for 93% of revenue for the Saudi government, which now needs $94/bbl oil to balance their budget. Based on actuarial tables, the 88-year old King Abdullah has a 15% chance of dying in the next year.

The global economy grew slightly in real terms year-over-year. As measured in oil or gold (as opposed to Dollars) the world's economy is growing strongly. Most of this growth came from the developing world and in particular from Asia. The GDP of the developed world fell in relative terms, as measured by its share of total world GDP. All of Europe and North America experienced negative real GDP growth year-over-year.

Oil Demand: Global Oil Import Demand

The Top 5 Countries/Regions (US, EU, China, Japan & India) Represent 52% of World Oil Import Demand For the top oil importing countries, GDP continues to increase but at a slowing rate. Almost all of Europe is now in a recession. Some countries, such as Greece and Portugal are in a severe recession. The economies of the United States and Japan are both growing on a real basis but shrinking on a relative basis to the rest of the world. Economic growth remains robust in China and India, propping up global oil import demand, pushing the date of global peak oil closer.

Oil Demand: Global Oil Import Demand: News Summaries

Top 5 Countries/Regions (US, EU, China, Japan & India) Represent 52% of World Oil Import Demand - Summaries From Tom Whipple's Weekly "Peak Oil Review"

China Q2 2013 News

In 2013 China overtook the US as the worlds largest net oil importer - a spot the US had held since 1972. Chinese car sales rose 20% year-over-year, but Chinas economy grew at its slowest rate in 13 years as exports fell. In April, a short-lived cash crisis hit the country. China signed a major gas deal with Russia to import natural gas from Russian fields. Russia also announced that it would double its exports of oil to China. China awarded contracts to 16 companies to drill in Chinas shale gas reserves, but not a single one has ever drilled a gas well before. So far China has drilled 60 shale wells and they have all come up dry. China is the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide and at current pace will produce 4 times more CO2 than the US by 2020. Air pollution levels in Beijing went literally off the scale in Q1 2013. Not coincidentally, Chinas coal consumption levels reached a record high. China now burns as much coal as the rest of the world combined. It is estimated that 1.2 million Chinese die a year from the horrendous air pollution. In March 16,000 dead pigs were found floating down the river that supplies drinking water to Shanghai. In Q1 Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao called for action to alleviate the pollution and tax minister Jia Chen announced that China would introduce a carbon tax. In Q2, China announced it will begin setting up a carbon trading market. China continued to pull ahead as the world leader in renewable energy. Wind power overtook nuclear power in China, producing 2% more electricity overall. For 2013, China announced it will install more than 5 times more wind power than nuclear power and more than 3 times more solar power than nuclear power. China now installs three times more solar each year as the United States accounting for a third of the total world solar panels installed each year. China announced plans to build a second aircraft carrier and Hong Kong, a Chinese protectorate, gave temporary asylum to US whistleblower Edward Snowden - harming US-China relations.

United States Q2 2013 News

In Q1 US oil production reached a 20-year high, hitting 7 million bpd for the first time since March 1993. Meanwhile, the US has almost certainly passed peak oil demand. US oil demand dropped to an 18-year low and us oil imports fell to their lowest level in 25 years. Gasoline consumption is at its lowest level since 2004. In Q1 Obamas State of the Union address specifically endorsed the McCain/Lieberman cap and trade bill; If climate change legislation is enacted, US oil demand would drop further. While shale oil production rose dramatically, all other forms of US oil fell. US Gulf of Mexico oil production continued to decline off its 2009 peak. Production from Alaskas North Slope continues to fall from its 2002 peak and was down 8% year-over-year. Shell Oil gave up on the 2013 Arctic drilling season after its oil rig, the Kulluk, ran aground in Alaska. Worryingly, the Bakken shale oil boom in North Dakota may be slowing down, with the initial productivity of new wells dropping. Companies are shifting their focus to Californias Monterey shale, where they may face heavy environmentalist opposition. In Q2 Obama announced a series of executive actions designed to address Climate Change, including limitations on carbon emissions from existing power plants, increased appliance efficiency standards and promotion of renewable energy development on public lands. Renewable energy in the US continues to grow with solar capacity increasing 76% year-overyear. Obama announced Ernest Moniz, a supporter of fracking, as his nomination for Secretary of Energy. Obama also announced Gina McCarthy, a former Mitt Romney aide, as his pick to head the EPA. In Q2 the EPA announced its new "Tier 3" gasoline regulations which will bring US sulfur requirements in line with California's. The Federal Reserve has keep interest rates near 0% for four years and has tripled its balance sheet by continuing pump $85 billion each month into the economy. In Q2 FED Chairman Ben Bernanke announced plans to "taper" such money printing; the market reacted swiftly to the negative and Bernanke quickly reversed his rhetoric.

European Union Q2 2013 News

Europe was officially in a double-dip recession in Q1 2013, shrinking by 0.6%. Greeces economy shrunk by 6.4% year-over-year. Unemployment in the Eurozone rose to 12% - the highest level since the Eurozone was created in 1999. Europe has passed peak oil demand, with oil demand now down 2 million BPD from 7 years ago. In Q2 US exports of diesel to Europe hit a 23 year high. The EU now produces 13% of its energy from renewable sources. In Q1 Cyprus announced a one-time bank levy on all Cypriot bank accounts on March 15th as part of a 10 billion bailout. A panicked bank run ensued and the government was forced to close all banks for 12 days. The government reopened its banks after it promised not to confiscate money from accounts smaller than 100,000. In Italy, the government will likely remain in political gridlock after parliamentary elections split three ways, leaving no party in a position to govern.

Oil Prices
Global oil pries are down year-over-year. This 1-year and 2-year trend of declining oil prices has reversed the 5-year and 10-year trends of rising oil prices. Both Brent and WTI crude oil futures are in backwardation, indicating that traders expect the price of oil to fall in the future. This backwardation benefits investors who take long positions in futures ETFs (like DBO & OIL), as there is no negative roll yield," like when oil is in congtango. The commitment of speculative traders and the difference in expected payoffs from put and call options contracts, however, tell us that traders believe that a price drop is le3ss likely than a price rise over the long term.

Oil Demand: Money Supply Growth Rates

While supply and demand fundamentals affect the real price of oil, currency fluctuations affect its nominal price. The money supply for most countries continues to grow at unprecidented rates as central banks attempt to prop up their economies. For countries in the midst of severe recessions, such as Portugal and Ireland, the money supply is shrinking significanty, risking a deflationary spiral. Venezuela is in the opposite position, on the brink of hyperinflation, which could collapse the country's economy and severely harm the global oil export market. The global money supply is up over 6% year-over-year. This increase in money supply, however, has not resulted in severe inflation, as the velocity of money continues to shrink by over 3% per year.

Peak Oil Proof Portfolio Investments

The Peak Oil Proof Portfolio rose in value year-over-year but underperformed the overall equity market. This could be expected as the global oil production rate has not yet peaked. The biggest winners were timber, industrials, health care, media, global real estate. Clean Energy gained significantly year-over-year but is still down on a 5-year basis. The biggest losers were precious metals and zero-coupon bonds. Q2 2013 saw a major crash in gold prices and rising interest rates (spured on by FED talk of "tapering") caused bond prices to fall. Outside of the portfolio, railroads, car sharing and bitcoins all has dramatic gains. Bitcoins had a dramatic bubble and bust in Q2 2013, but are still up over 1000% year-over-year.

Peak Oil Dashboard: Data Notes Q2 2013

Created by Will Martin - Peakoilproof.com

About: I created this dashboard to keep track of the key quantitative indicators of peak oil. Oil is a finite resource and peak oil will happen eventually. Because some experts, such as the Energy Watch Group, believe that peak oil is happening right now, I want to keep track of these indicators on a real-time basis. I designed this dashboard to be mostly automated, in order to allow me to easily update it on a quarterly basis. All of the information contained herein is publically available; I use no private data. Page 1 Notes: This is simply a summary of the other pages

Page 2 Notes: "Oil Production" is the monthly total wellhead oil production rate. Wellhead production data comes from the Oil Market Intelligence report published by Energy Intelligence Group. Data was pulled into Microsoft Excel using Haver Analytics Data Link Express (DLX).

Page 3 Notes: "Net Oil Exports" is the monthly total wellhead oil production rate minus the monthly petroleum consumption rate for each country/region. Wellhead production data comes from the Oil Market Intelligence report published by Energy Intelligence Group. Country/region petroleum consumption data comes from the annual Oil & Gas Journal from Pennwell Publishing. The annual oil consumption rate is extrapolated forward using the prior 5-Year compound annual growth rate of consumption (CAGR) and converted into a monthly rate. Data was pulled into Microsoft Excel using Haver Analytics Data Link Express (DLX). Supermajor oil production rate data comes from 10-K annual reports published on the Securities and Exchange Commission Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system.

Page 4 Notes: Thank you to Jeffrey Brown for creating the "Export Land Model" that allows us to estimate current net exports of oil producing nations instead of waiting for the EIA to release their estimates 2 years after they happen. "Net Oil Exports" is the monthly total wellhead oil production rate minus the monthly petroleum consumption rate for each country/region. Wellhead production data comes from the Oil Market Intelligence report published by Energy Intelligence Group. Country/region petroleum consumption data comes from the annual Oil & Gas Journal from Pennwell Publishing. The annual oil consumption rate is extrapolated forward using the prior 5-Year compound annual growth rate of consumption (CAGR) and converted into a monthly rate. Data was pulled into Microsoft Excel using Haver Analytics Data Link Express (DLX).

Page 5 Notes: Drilling rig count data comes from Baker Hughes. Sumermajor quaterly operating profits come from comes from 10-Q quarterly reports published on the Securities and Exchange Commission Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system. US capital expenditure per barrel is derived from total US capital expenditure in the petrolium industry divided by the total US crude oil production. Data for capital expenditure, oil production, nominal cost per well and real cost per well come from the Oil & Gas Journal Annual Forecast & Review. Data was pulled into Microsoft Excel using Haver Analytics Data Link Express (DLX). Page 6 Notes: "Oil Production" is the monthly total "Oil Product Demand" for each country. Demand data comes from the Oil Market Intelligence report published by Energy Intelligence Group. Data was pulled into Microsoft Excel using Haver Analytics Data Link Express (DLX).

Page 7 Notes: Quarterly GDP data comes from Oxford Economics' global macroeconomic database. Relative GDP growth of each country is caculated as the change in the real (2005 US$ Prices & PPP Exchange Rate) GDP of a country as a percentage of total GDP. Data was pulled into Microsoft Excel using Haver Analytics Data Link Express (DLX). Thank you to Mark McHug (http://acrossthestreetnet.wordpress.com/) for giving me the idea to measure GDP growth of countries relative to one another as well as measuring global GDP growth USD as well as in oil barrels and ounces of gold. Page 8 Notes: "Real GDP" is country/region Gross Domestic Product at 2005 US Dollar prices and current Purchasing Power Parity exchange rates. Data comes from Oxford Economics and was pulled into Microsoft Excel using Haver Analytics Data Link Express (DLX).

Page 9 Notes: Summaries come from Tom Whipple's "Peak Oil Review" published weekly by the Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas USA (ASPO-USA): http://aspousa.org/category/peakoil-review/

Page 10 Notes: Data for crude oil prices and US gasoline prices comes from the Oil & Gas Journal. Data for Brent and WTI crude oil futures comes from IntercontinentalExchange and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, respectivly. Data for Brent call and put options comes from barchart.com. Data for the WTI implied volitility surface comes from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

Page 11 Notes: Data for the money supply of each country comes from Haver Analytics. M3 money supply was used wherever possible. In countries that do not publish M3 data (such as the United States) M2 money supply is used instead. All money supplies are converted to USD using current exchange rates. Velocity of money comes from the US Federal Reserve.

Page 11 Notes: Stock price data comes from Yahoo Finance. All data is adjusted for dividends and splits.
