Some Conclusions Asia, China to drive global oil demand, markets, prices Asia, China to drive global oil demand, markets, prices Huge rise in gas consumption, thriving LNG, pipeline gas projects in Asia Huge rise in gas consumption, thriving LNG, pipeline gas projects in Asia Asia only modest upstream oil play – India, SE Asia, E. Siberia; stronger upstream natural gas play Asia only modest upstream oil play – India, SE Asia, E. Siberia; stronger upstream natural gas play Asia NOCs inflating prices in global E&P market Asia NOCs inflating prices in global E&P market NOCs changing competitive landscape for IOCs NOCs changing competitive landscape for IOCs China, Asia to become big players in global energy geopolitics China, Asia to become big players in global energy geopolitics Persian Gulf Persian Gulf Central Asia Central Asia Russia Russia IEA IEA
