INTRODUCTION
CRUDE OIL INDUSTRY
Meaning
Mixture of naturally occurring hydrocarbons that is refined into diesel, gasoline, heating oil, jet fuel, kerosene, and literally thousands of other products called petrochemicals. Crude oils are named according to their contents and origins, and classified according to their per unit weight (specific gravity). Heavier crudes yield more heat upon burning, but have lower API gravity and market price in comparison to light (or sweet) crudes. See also petroleum.
Introduction
Crude oil is one of the most economically mature commodity markets in the world. Even though most crude oil is produced by a relatively small number of companies, and often in remote locations that are very far from the point of consumption, trade in crude oil is robust and global in nature. Nearly 80% of international crude oil transactions involve delivery via waterway in supertankers.
Oil and coal global commodities that are shipped all over the world. Thus, global supply and demand determines prices for these energy sources. Events around the world can affect our prices at home for oil-based energy such as gasoline and heating oil. Crude oil is a complex mixture of various hydrocarbons found in the upper layers of the earth’s crust. Crude oil is often attributed as the “Mother of all Commodities” because of its importance in the manufacturing of a wide variety of materials.
Global scenario
Global proven oil reserves in 2011 was around 1652.6 thousand million barrels, of which the OPEC had 1196.3 thousand million barrels. Crude oil accounts for 33% of the world’s primary consumption. Global oil demand was 88.3 million barrels per day (mmb/d) in 2011, an increase of around 0.7% from the previous year.
Indian scenario
Oil accounts for 29% of India’s total energy consumption and there seems to be no possibility of scaling down the dependence on these fuels. Crude oil production during April-March 2012 (provisional) was 38.19 million metric tonne (MMT), as compared with 37.71 MMT during the corresponding period last year. The total oil consumption in 2010 was around3.34 mmb/d. India is the fourth largest consumer of oil and imports more than 70% of its crude oil requirements.
CONTRIBUTION TO INDIAN ECONOMY
Brent crude oil prices are down almost 60% in the past two quarters, currently around $51 a barrel, a level not seen in five and a half years. While many see the fall as a blessing for the macro economy, the decline is not so good for all business and markets. The real benefits can be seen when prices stabilize, preferably at levels acceptable to both consumer and producers.
Madan Sabnavis, chief economist at CARE Ratings, said: “A lower crude oil price for a country like India (a third of our import bill is crude oil) is certainly beneficial, as it helps macroeconomic management.” It results in lower inflation, gives comfort to the Reserve Bank of India in cutting interest rates and flexibilities in budget and fiscal management.
Crude oil import in 2013-14 was $165 billion, about 36% of the total import bill. In April-November 2014, it was $90.3 billion, about 28.3% of the total import. Indian also exports petroleum products and in FY1415 till November, these were $42.6 bn or a fifth of total exports.
GDP Growth
Lower oil prices should boost growth through multiple channels(1) lower inflation will boost households real disposable incomes, thereby pushing higher consumer discretionary demand; (2) improved corporate profit margins due to falling input costs will be an additional tailwind to reviving business investment; and, (3) improvement in macro fundamentals (inflation and the twin fiscal and current account deficits) will, at the margin, increase the space for macro (monetary and fiscal) policies to boost growth. Every USD 10% barrel fall in oil price can boost GDP growth by around 0.1% points, according to Nomura.
Inflation
Given the higher share of tradable goods in the wholesale price index, the impact of lower commodity prices is much higher of WPI inflation than CPI inflation. Lower oil price directly impacts 8.6% of the WPI basket (crude petroleum and fuels excluding kerosene and LPG) and, additionally, around 5% indirectly through lower price of crude derivatives such as chemicals. Every USD 10% barrel fall in crude oil price lowers WPI by around 0.5% and CPI by about 0.2%.
