Papua New Guinea Oil & Gas Report Q3 2016 - New Market Research Report

Strong output growth from fields associated with large LNG export projects will allow PNG's net LNG exports to more than double over the next decade. The country is on course to overtake Indonesia and Brunei, by 2022 and 2019 respectively, to become the third largest LNG exporter in Asia. Condensates output from these gas developments will allow PNG to remain a net exporter of crude oil and liquids, though underutilisation of existing refining capacity means that the country remains dependen t on fuels imports.

The main trends and developments we highlight for Papua New Guinea's oil and gas sector are:

OilSearch is planning to take over InterOil for USD2.2bn. The deal will allow both Total and OilSearch to increase stakes in the Papua LNG project, demonstrating their confidence in the PNG LNG sector.

Puma Energy is undertaking upgrade works at its Napa Napa refinery, following months of closure, to improve the facility's feedstock flexibility and production efficiency. The firm is also seeking government approval for a potential capacity expansion, though underutilisation of existing capacity suggests that this is unlikely to go through.

ExxonMobil is seeking to add a third train at its PNG LNG project by developing the P'nyang field - for which a final investment decision is expected to be given in 2017.

PNG will remain a net exporter of crude oil and liquids. The country's Kutubu Blend (now blended with condensates from PNG LNG) is sold to private trading firms such as BP and Trafigura for sales into the regional market, including Singapore and Australia.
