Hence, the Distribution Utilities (DUs) and the consumers need to undergo the necessary information education
campaigns to introduce emerging technologies on renewable and energy efficiency which includes smart-grid.
The integration of information communication technology could enhance the forecasting and formulation of
their respective Distribution Development Plans.

Supply Sector

Pursuant to Section 31 of the EPIRA, the implementation of Retail Competition and Open Access (RCOA)
envisions to put in place a level playing field where suppliers of electricity compete to serve the contestable
market based on merit and value being offered.

In June 2013, end-users with monthly average peak demand of at least 1MW were classified as contestable
customers and were allowed to choose their own supplier of electricity. This year, the DOE considered
extending the retail electricity market to end-users with monthly average peak demand of 750kW and above.

Suppliers of electricity in the contestable market are classified either Retail Electricity Suppliers (RES) or Local
Retail Electricity Suppliers. RES are entities authorized to sell, broker, market or aggregate electricity to the
contestable customers; while LRES is a non-regulated business segment of a Distribution Utility catering to
contestable market only in its franchise area.

In addition, Supplier of Last Resort (SOLR) are entities duly designated to serve Contestable Customers
following a Last Resort Supply Event, while, Retail Metering Service Provider (RMSP) are entities owning the
billing and the associated metering equipment.

As of August 2017, out of 1,560 contestable customers, 878 have already entered into Retail Supply Contract
(RSC) with Retail Electricity Suppliers (RES) and/or Local Retail Electricity Suppliers (LRES). The number of
contestable customers is expected to increase further when RCOA is finally extended to end-users with
monthly average peak demand of 750kW to 500kW. To date, around 1,130 customers from Private Investor
Owned Utilities (PIOUs) and Electric Cooperatives (ECs) are expected to migrate to the contestable market
once the threshold level is further reduced down to 500 kW to 999 kW.

OIL and GAS SECTOR

As of December 2016, the oil and gas sector produced a total of 2.01 mmb of oil, 140.516 bcf of gas and 4.15
mmb of condensate.

37
Table 14.

Table 15.

39
These sedimentary basins with a total area of 709,000 sq. km. provide a potential recoverable reserves of
95.53 mbb of oil, 3,220.70 bcf of gas and 118.90 mmb of condensate. Under the Philippine Resource
Classification System, recoverable reserves comprise the total deliverable petroleum quantities, based on the
current understanding of the quantities in place and the recovery factor. Undiscovered resources are defined
as the total estimated in-place quantities of petroleum at a specific date to be contained in accumulation. On
the other hand, discovered resources are defined as the total estimated in-place quantities of petroleum at a
specific date to be contained in known accumulation that have been penetrated by a well. Table 16 and 17
show the details of the sedimentary basins with the corresponding petroleum resources as well as the
remaining reserves as of September 30, 2016.

As of June 2016, the DOE through its petroleum Resources Development Division (PRDD) monitors 24
Petroleum Service Contracts (PSCs). Seven (7) of these are in the production stage and 17 are in the exploration
stage. Among the PSCs under the development and production stage, two (2) are actively producing, four (4)
are non-producing at the time being and one (1) is being evaluated and assessed by its respective developers
for possible production of oil or gas or both. Table 18 provides the existing service contracts, status and
location.

Philippine Conventional Energy Contracting Program (PCECP)

Cognizant of the enormous investment requirement in the exploration and development of indigenous oil and
gas resources, the DOE continues to encourage private sector participation in the exploration and development
& production of petroleum energy sources. This was previously known as the Philippine Energy Contracting
Round (PECR).
The 5th PECR was launched on May 9, 2014 and attended by over 300 petroleum and coal exploration
companies. Eleven (11) petroleum areas/blocks were offered ranging from 160,000 hectares to 576,000
hectares over the Southeast Luzon, West Masbate/Iloilo, East Palawan, Recto Bank and West Luzon Basins.
These blocks have a total area of 4,748,000 hectares and a total potential resource of *,807.95 mmb of oil and
20,345.23 bcf of gas.

As a result of the PECR promotional roadshows, DOE received applications for four (4) areas from three (3)
exploration companies as shown in Table 19.

During the 1st semester of 2015, PNOC-Exploration Corporation, operator of SC 37, drilled Mangosteen-1
located in Santiago City, Isabela to determine its hydrocarbon potential. In addition, China International Mining
Petroleum Co. Ltd. (CIMP) identified several gas bearing layers and were presumed to be present from 617 m
down to 1,232 m after a short term testing of Polyard-2 (p-2) well was undertaken in February 2015.

CIMP conducted drill stem test to determine whether Polyard-1 will be able to deliver oil in commercial
quantity, after drilling the well down to a total depth of 855.03 m in September 2015. Consequently, a Joint
Declaration of Commerciality was signed by DOE and CIMP in November 2015. Under CIMP’s Extended Well
Test Program, Polyard-1 produced a total of 681.28 barrels of oil with an average daily production of 7.56
barrels per day as of September 2016.

CIMP continued with its commitment by drilling three (3) more wells, Polyard-3 with a total depth of 2,118 m,
Polyard-6 with a total depth of 1,420 m and Polyard-8 with a planned total depth of 1,265 m. After reaching

As of December 31, 2015, the country has a total of 400.8 million tons of in-situ coal reserves and a total
resource potential of 2.36 billion metric tons coal located in various coal basins nationwide. Table 20 shows the
2015 summary of coal resources per region in the country.

NATURAL GAS SECTOR

The Philippines, distinct with its abundant natural resources, is self-sufficient in natural gas with almost 100
percent of production coming from the Malampaya gas field. This indigenous gas provides 98% to the
existing gas fired power plants with a total capacity of 3,211 MW and minimal volume equivalent to 2%
is consumed by a refinery. These existing power plants are the 1000 MW Sta Rita, 500 MW San Lorenzo
and 1,200 MW Ilijan plants providing the baseload requirements in the Luzon grid while the newly operated
414 MW San Gabriel Plant is designed to provide the mid-merit demand and the 97 MW Avion gas power plant
provides for the peaking demand. The refinery is using natural gas for its own power and furnaces.

The Malampaya field is expected to begin to deplete in 2022, and Service Contract (SC 38) which has the
concession to operate the said gas field is bound to terminate in 2024. Thus, there is a need to explore,
develop, and promote other indigenous sources of natural gas to expand the supply base.

Although the country has a potential domestic source of natural gas supply estimated at 25 tcf from its 16
sedimentary basins, the timing and new volume of new discoveries are yet to be determined. Given this
situation, imports will be the main source of gas in the medium-term until new gas fields are discovered that
will start to produce commercially. However, the country cannot start LNG importation in the absence of the
necessary infrastructure projects such as the LNG Import Receiving Terminal and pipeline network to
transport natural gas to the potential demand centers initially in Luzon where demand forecast is highest in
the next 10-15 years, and later cater to the demand requirements in Visayas and Mindanao.

Additional regasification capacity is foreseen to come online by 2020 to be spearheaded by the government
corporate arm, the Philippine National Oil Company (PNOC). The LNG Import terminal is envisioned to be a
common carrier facility in which part of its capacity is open to third party use. Likewise, PNOC will develop an
integrated facility to cover the 200 MW emergency power plant and transmission and distribution facilities.

LNG will primarily be consumed in the power sector, but will soon provide the requirements for non-power
applications . Natural gas or LNG can also provide the demand from baseload, mid-merit and peaking
requirements in the power system, and can compete with other fuel sources that can provide least-cost
optimal electricity from such demand centers This flexibility also complements to the increasing number of
renewables in the energy system. Additional potential opportunity for natural gas or LNG is foreseen in the
off-grid or missionary islands which is to replace the existing diesel-fired power plants that mainly provide its
electricity requirements. However, it is noted that demand from these off-grid islands are marginal so
there is a need to cluster the demand to make it economically viable and justify the investment in putting
up the necessary infrastructure. The use of natural gas in the country will remain concentrated in Luzon while
utilization will also be expected in Mindanao and Visayas. Table 24 shows the potential market for natural
gas.
