Price & Income Elasticity of Oil Demand

Income Elasticity of Oil Demand (Exogenous) An exogenous change in income affects the demand for oil. Focusing on national income (GDP), higher GDP causes industry and consumers to demand more oil to enable more industrial production, consumption in service industries, personal travel and automobile consumption.

Measured Short-Term Elasticities of Oil Demand e(I) = 0.3 to 0.6 (higher in later studies) e(P) has significantly declined: -0.1 to -0.3 in the 1970s/1980s to since 2000 This decline is caused by: – Decreased use of oil in the power sector and industry for process heat – Decreased use of oil for space heating – The price of oil depends on the price of gasoline, distillate and jet fuel. No other products are important. – There are extremely limited short-term opportunities to reduce the consumption of these fuels in the face of a price increase without curtailing transportation services. – Increased motor-vehicle fuel efficiency has also reduced price elasticity of demand.

Short Term Elasticity of Oil Supply Response of oil supply to oil price changes: – Higher or lower oil prices can cause backwardation or contango in the forward curve that would motivate stock draws or builds. – Higher prices can cause Saudi Arabia and a few other countries to move some of its reserve production into production or, with lower prices, to move some of its production into reserve. – Outside Saudi Arabia, etc., oil producers cannot increase short term production in response to higher oil prices as they are already going flat out. – Oil producers respond to price changes by increasing or decreasing E&P investment (E&P resources directly affected) but this does not affect short-term production.

Oil Price Shocks & Global GDP Growth

Why Oil Price Shocks Reduce Growth Reduced income available for other goods and services cause dislocations in these industries. The automobile industry is particularly affected by oil price shocks. The multiplier effects of these dislocations cause the economy to operate below its potential output until a new equilibrium can be established. These dislocations are only caused by large oil price increases (e.g., if they set a new high for the previous 3 years ).

Looking Forward Supply outages are now chronic events. Previously, oil supply outages averaged less than 1 mmb/d; since 2011, they have averaged ~ 3 mmb/d. Citing the International Energy Agency – Relatively stable oil prices should not conceal an abundance of risk as much of the Middle East and North Africa remains in turmoil. – The political situation in the MENA region reflects a precarious balance that does not bode well for clear, stable and predictable oil policies, let alone supplies. The marginal cost of oil production is increasing.

Will North American Tight Oil be Replicated Elsewhere? Russia United States China Argentina Libya Australia Venezuela Mexico Pakistan Canada Countries with tight oil resources (ARI 2013) These plays have unique geological characteristics. Few, if any, may be similar to the best plays in the United States. Consequently there is high uncertainty as to whether oil production in these countries would be economically feasible. Countries in red are oil exporters.

Additional Risks Aboveground factors such as mineral rights, government support, E&P services, transportation infrastructure & political stability are all necessary. One or more of these factors are lacking in almost all of the countries that might have promising resources. In addition, some of the countries with tight oil resources are oil exporters that can more easily tap conventional resources.

When Oil Prices are High, OPEC Spare Capacity is Likely to be Low

Strategic Petroleum Stocks The U.S. President has declared an emergency use of the SPR 3 times: – 1991 (1990 Gulf War) – 2005 (Hurricanes Katrina & Rita) – 2011 (Libyan supply outage) The 1991 and 2011 releases (those made response to a disruption of the international oil market) were made well after oil prices had spiked in response to the respective supply disruptions. With decreased oil imports, crude pipeline reversals and increased Gulf Coast tanker traffic, the SPR can no longer release 4 mmb/d, nor would U.S. refineries likely need 4 mmb/d in the advent of a petroleum supply interruption.

OPEC Oil Imports are Being Replaced with Canadian Imports

Strategic Petroleum Stocks Resolving the following issues can take time & delay an expeditions stock release: 1.Is the outage serious enough to release stocks? 2.Should the SPR be held in reserve lest the disruption become more severe? 3.Would the use of strategic stocks discourage OPEC (Saudi Arabia) from employing spare production capacity? 4.Acquiring a consensuses by IEA-Member countries to release stocks can take time. With declining imports, the U.S. can respond unilaterally to an oil supply emergency while maintaining 90 days of supply per the IEA treaty. A majority of oil demand is now outside the OECD but few strategic oil stocks exist outside of OECD countries.

Conclusions and Recommendations Oil price shocks sharply reduce world economic growth & throw OECD countries into recession. The “main-culprits” are the tiny short-term price elasticities of oil demand and supply. Significantly increased or cheaper oil supplies are not likely: oil supply disruptions are more likely than ever. Effective use of strategic oil stocks provides the best protection if they are used before oil prices spike. The ability to replace lost U.S. oil imports should no longer be the metric by which we judge the value of the SPR to the U.S. economy. Protecting the U.S. economy requires that we protect the world economy & since non-OECD stocks are slight: The burden of holding oil stocks is not equitably shared.
