Non-OPEC Latin America’s production of crude and NGLs is expected to continue<br />
growing over the medium-term, from 4.1 mb/d in 2010, to 4.9 mb/d in 2015.<br />
This represents the second highest regional growth among all non-OPEC regions,<br />
following the transition economies region. It is mainly supported by production increases<br />
in Brazil. The Peregrino (Chinook), Waimea and Marlim Sul Module 3 P-56<br />
are set to add at least 300,000 b/d of capacity by the end of 2011. A further 15 major<br />
projects – Aruana, Baleia Azul (Whale Park), Tiro/Sidon, Guara, Papa-Terra, Whale<br />
Park expansion P-58, Roncador Module 3 and Module 4, Guara Norte, Cernambi<br />
(Lula) Oliva & Atlanta, Guaiama, and Carioca – with a total production capacity in<br />
excess of 2 mb/d are anticipated to further contribute to medium-term growth. In the<br />
Reference Case, Brazil’s production is set to grow steadily from 2.1 mb/d in 2010, to<br />
2.7 mb/d in 2015.<br />
Elsewhere in non-OPEC Latin America, Colombia crude oil and NGLs production<br />
is expected to increase by more than 110,000 mb/d, from 790,000 b/d in 2010,<br />
to 900,000 b/d in 2015. This expansion will come from the planned redevelopments<br />
of the Rubiales heavy oil field, Castilla, Quifa-14 and the La Cira Infantas. Argentina’s<br />
crude oil and NGLs production is anticipated to remain flat, at about 700,000 b/d.<br />
In the medium-term, non-OPEC Middle East & Africa crude oil and NGLs<br />
production is also expected to stay flat, at just over 4.3 mb/d. In the non-OPEC<br />
Middle East region, Oman will continue to depend on heavy oil developments and<br />
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects such as Mukhaizna, Qarn Alam and Harwel to<br />
offset declines and sustain a production level of around 0.9 mb/d. Oman is also planning<br />
to add about 45,000 b/d from Amal and Amin steam EOR projects in 2012.<br />
On the other hand, medium-term production from Yemen and Syria is expected to<br />
decline slowly. For both countries, the current high political risk adds another layer<br />
of uncertainty for medium-term projections. Crude oil and NGLs production in<br />
the non-OPEC Middle East is expected to fall slightly from 1.8 mb/d in 2010, to<br />
1.7 mb/d in 2015.<br />
In non-OPEC Africa, some modest growth in 2012 is expected in Ghana, Uganda,<br />
Niger and Equatorial Guinea, but this will be offset by possible declines in Sudan,<br />
Egypt and other countries. In the medium-term Reference Case, crude oil and<br />
NGLs production in non-OPEC Africa is thus expected to remain at approximately<br />
2.5 mb/d.<br />
Medium-term crude oil and NGLs production in non-OPEC Asian countries,<br />
excluding China, is expected to see steady growth, reaching around 3.8 mb/d by 2015.<br />
India is anticipated to be the main growth area, with projects including the Bhagyam,<br />
Saraswati/Raageshwari and the Krishna-Godavari Cluster fields coming online. These
