The 2015 National Energy Report of the KAZENERGY Association
Astana, 24 August, 2015
In 2016, crude oil prices will rise, on average, to about $63 per barrel and in 2020 to about $80 per barrel. Prior to 2035 the growth in demand for primary energy in the world is expected to average 1.3% per year and will be from 90 till 115 million barrels per day. This data, as well as trends in the global energy industry will be presented in the 2015 National Energy Report of the KAZENERGY Association. The report will be presented at the X KAZENERGY Eurasian Forum, 29 September – 1 October in Astana.
The National Energy report includes the most recent information on the oil and gas sector: projections for economic growth, the role of energy in the country’s economy in the coming years, the analysis of the structure of government and state regulation, the analysis of energy consumption in the world, forecasts of production volumes in the country, investment attractiveness and etc. According to the data, International investment climate in the hydrocarbons sector has high competition, especial in regards to oil. Experts predict a rise in oil production by non-OPEC projects within the scalable production of unconventional methods, ending the 10-year-old “super cycle” of pricing commodities, slowing demand growth in China, as well as disinvestment by international oil companies and independent players. Therefore, it is possible to see where it leads at the X KAZENEGRY Eurasian Forum.
The focus of the three-day deliberations of the Xth KAZENERGY Eurasian Forum will be all at significant events of contemporary energy and political agenda, transforming the oil, gas, and energy markets. Also to be considered will be the integration processes, formation of long-term trade, economic and energy partnerships, ensuring global energy security, especially in the European and Asian regions.
