Discover accurate cost projections

for all of your E&P projects

Lets start with a basic question


How do you currently estimate project costs?
How important is the project lifecycle cost in your development

considerations?
How are you currently managing estimation in the dynamic cost

market? How do you adapt estimates in the changing cost


market?
How extensive is your cost estimation team/resource?
How much time do you spend generating a project cost estimate?
Lack of experience in the workforce and limited pool of

resources?

Upstream Capital Costs Index (UCCI)


Cost inflation has become a significant project risk within the upstream O&G
Inflation levels from 2005 to mid 2008 were running at circ 25% p/a
The UCCI tracks the change in CAPEX for a typical upstream portfolio
Index is based to January 2000 and is updated on a quarterly basis

Time Period: 1 to 20 years
What: Portfolio Index and Market Indices
Approach: Outlooks leverage the materials, frameworks, and processes developed by

the IHS CERA Global Scenario Study. In this study, three separate scenarios (Base,
High, and Low) help navigate the assumptions necessary to support the long-term
outlooks. Key inputs are oil price, natural gas price, GDP, oil supply, oil demand, gas
supply, and gas demand as well as supporting story lines that paint the energy picture.

Cost Changes

Global steel costs were relatively flat in


the 1Q 2012

Buying has resumed in Asia after the


Chinese New Year holiday

US prices were flat. Import prices from


Asia increased, but remained lower than
domestic US pricing, keeping prices in
check

European prices increased by 0.2% in


the quarter in US$ terms (2.6% in )

OCTG costs increased globally by 0.5%,


with pricing flat in the US but increasing
slightly in Europe and Asia, driven by
drilling activity and imports to the North
America

Alloy seamless casing OCTG prices


increased globally, while tubing
decreased

Linepipe costs decreased by 1.3%, with


overcapacity and more mills coming
onstream in the next few years

Q4 2011 to Q1 2012 Price Changes (USD)

Market Changes

Iron ore prices have decreased, driven by decreased


steel production in Europe and flat Chinese demand

Structural steel prices declined in Asia and Europe,


reflecting regional slowdowns in construction activity

Coal shipments from Australia to China are


increasingly being replaced by inland shipments from
Mongolia

Overcapacity kept linepipe prices in check in all


regions

Rebar prices were up primarily due to speculation of


higher scrap prices in upcoming months

Transportation costs increased on higher fuel costs

Trends

Raw steel prices will vary depending on region and

Demand growth in 2012 will be positive in the


United States and Asia but will decline in Europe

Supply is ample and lead times are normal

China has ramped up production after the New


Year celebrations, and restocking has begun

Imports are flowing to the United States due to


steep discounts, keeping US prices in check

Traditional trade flows will shift, exports will flow


from Asia to Europe, as the dollar weakens and
more European mills close

Pipe pricing is as low as it will be for 2012, and will


likely rise for the rest of the year

OCTG demand is expected to grow on high oil


prices which will offset a decline gas drilling

Cost of Oil

Cost of Oil
The methodology calculates regional costs through the following

steps
Determine the cost of exploration, including appraisal wells but excluding

license, lease, or purchase costs.


Determine the cost of development, including any relevant risk premiums.
Determine the cost of operations.
Apply the fiscal model to determine the oil and gas price required for a 15%

IRR and highlight the areas where project development is viable at current oil
and gas prices
