Golden rules for a Golden Age of Gas
1.
May 29, London ©
OECD/IEA 2012
2.
The context
Advances in technology have led to a surge in unconventional gas supply in North America Intensive process, generally requiring hydraulic fracturing & more wells than conventional gas Many countries are lining up to emulate this success; notably in China, Australia, Europe & Latin America But concerns remain that production might involve unacceptable environmental & social damage Major implications for local communities, land use & water resources Serious hazards include the potential for air & water pollution Improperly addressed, these concerns threaten to hold back, & perhaps halt, the unconventional gas revolution © OECD/IEA 2012
3.
Golden Rules for
a Golden Age of Gas The “Golden Rules” are principles that can allow governments, industry & other stakeholders to address these environmental & social impacts: 1. Measure, disclose & engage 2. Watch where you drill 3. Isolate well & prevent leaks 4. Treat water responsibly 5. Eliminate venting, minimise flaring & other emissions 6. Be ready to think big 7. Ensure a consistently high level of environmental performance They are “Golden Rules” because their application can ensure operators have a “social license to operate”, paving the way for a golden age of gas © OECD/IEA 2012
4.
Fracturing the status
quo Natural gas supply growth in the Golden Rules Case, 2010-2035 1 200 bcm 1 000 800 600 400 200 0 Conventional Unconventional Total gas production grows by 55% to 2035; unconventional gas accounts for nearly two-thirds of the growth & its share in total output rises from 14% today to 32% in 2035 © OECD/IEA 2012

Natural gas poised
to enter a golden age Global energy demand in the Golden Rules Case 5 000 Mtoe Additional to 2035 4 000 2010 3 000 2 000 1 000 0 Oil Gas Coal Renewables Nuclear Global natural gas demand growth equals the combined increase from coal, nuclear & oil; resulting in gas overtaking coal as the second most important fuel © OECD/IEA 2012
7.
Emerging economies take
the lead Natural gas demand growth in the Golden Rules Case, 2010-2035 Total = 1 842 bcm Rest of OECD China Rest of non-OECD Rest of Asia Russia Middle East 80% of growth in gas use comes from outside the OECD; chiefly in Asia & the Middle East … © OECD/IEA 2012

the lead Natural gas demand growth in the Golden Rules Case, 2010-2035 Total = 1 842 bcm Other sectors Power Buildings generation Industry 80% of growth in gas use comes from outside the OECD; chiefly in Asia & the Middle East … … driven largely by demand for electricity and from industry © OECD/IEA 2012

A huge task
for industry & regulators Number of gas wells 1 200 000 1 000 000 800 000 600 000 400 000 200 000 0 Unconventional wells Total wells New unconventional wells in United States today in United States today drilled globally to 2035 in the Golden Rules Case More than one million new unconventional gas wells would be needed globally to 2035: applying the “Golden Rules” could raise costs slightly, by 7% for a typical shale-gas well © OECD/IEA 2012
10.
What if the
tide turns? Selected natural gas trade volumes, 2035 Net imports Net exports Golden Rules Case China Additional net trade in European Union Low Unconventional Case United States & Canada Middle East Russia -600 -400 -200 0 200 400 600 bcm Gas trade in the Low Unconventional Case is up 30%, some trade patterns are reversed, gas prices are higher & the position of the main conventional exporters reinforced © OECD/IEA 2012
11.
Economic costs &
benefits Increase in natural gas-import bills by 2035 relative to 2010 160 Billion dollars (2010) Golden Rules Case Low Unconventional Case 120 80 40 0 -40 United States & Canada China European Union Benefits to gas importers from improved energy trade balances & lower prices disappear in a Low Unconventional Case, where worldwide gas import bills by 2035 are 60% higher © OECD/IEA 2012
12.
Coal fills the
gap left by gas Change in primary energy demand in the Low Unconventional Case relative to Golden Rules Case, 2010 to 2035 +6 000 Oil, renewables & nuclear +4 000 +2 000 Coal Mtoe 0 -2 000 Natural gas -4 000 -6 000 Emissions are 1.3% higher in 2035 than in the Golden Rules Case, offsetting the claim that a reduction in unconventional gas output brings net environmental gains © OECD/IEA 2012
13.
Key messages
The “Golden Rules" can address the environmental & social impacts of unconventional gas – making the golden age of gas a reality Continuous drive needed from governments & industry to improve performance if public confidence is to be earned or maintained Unconventional gas can transform energy markets by: putting downward pressure on prices broadening diversity & security of gas supply Natural gas has a role to play in a low-carbon energy economy, but increased use in itself is not sufficient to reach the 2°C goal IEA creating a high-level platform on the key policy & regulatory issues to build on the “Golden Rules” & respond to G8 leaders’ request © OECD/IEA 2012
