Saudi Arabia seeks an extra gasoline imports
Saudi Arabia's Aramco is seeking an extra five cargoes of gasoline through tenders in April-June, potentially reducing the Mediterranean supply overhang, traders said on Tuesday. The firm will buy an extra 180,000 tonnes of gasoline through two buy tenders, trade sources said. The first tender is for up to two cargoes a month for May and June and was awarded to BP (BP.L: Quote) and the trading arm of Russian oil company LUKOIL Litasco (LKOH.MM: Quote), a trader said. This was for 91 and 95 ron gasoline for delivery into the Red Sea or the port of Ras Tanura. Saudi Aramco has issued another spot tender for an extra cargo for April, closing on Wednesday, trade sources said. Mediterranean gasoline prices have been pressured below levels for northwest Europe, partly because Libya has halted imports due to port closures and sanctions. A Libyan state-owned gasoline tanker was also seized by rebels in mid-March in a move that further deterred suppliers from supplying the war-torn country. April gasoline prices in the Mediterranean were priced at a discount of around $11 to prices in northwest Europe, trade sources said. "This should help supplies in the Mediterranean since it's very long gasoline because of Libya," said a gasoline trader, referring to the extra Saudi demand. Israel's Oil Refineries Ltd has issued a spot tender to buy two gasoline cargoes for April and May in a move that could further sap regional supplies. Source: Reuters March 30, 2011

Saudi Telecom submits offer for Syrian Mobile licence
State-run Saudi Telecom (STC) has submitted an offer for a mobile licence in Syria, the company said on Saturday, one of the few countries in the region with low mobile penetration and promising growth chances. STC is one of five firms to qualify for the Syria licence auction, along with Qatar Telecom, Turkcell, France Telecom and the UAE's Etisalat, although the latter two have dropped plans to bid. "(STC) announces that it submitted on Wednesday, March 30, its technical and operational offer... The offers that are qualified by Syria's (telecommunication) ministry will enter the final (financial) phase of the auction on April 27," the company said in a statement on the bourse website. Syria, with a mobile penetration of about 30 percent in 2007, started a tender in September to sell the third mobile operator licence. The two current cellphone operators in Syria are South Africa's MTN and Syriatel, which is mostly owned by Syrian businessman Rami Makhlouf. STC faces increased competition from Etihad Etisalat (Mobily) and Zain Saudi in its home market, the biggest Arab economy. An industry source told Reuters in October that STC could be among the strongest contenders, especially after ties between the Damascus government and Riyadh improved last year. France Telecom has said it decided not to submit a bid for Syria's third mobile phone licence given the terms, with the price the main concern, given that the radio wave frequencies on offer were of lower quality and would have required a denser, and therefore more expensive, network build-out.

Kingdom steps up role in global energy security
Saudi Arabia holds the key to global energy security. It plays an extremely significant role in balancing the overall demand and supply. With many in the Western world continuing to be skeptical of the Saudi potential and capacity, at least in the longer run, eyes continue to remain focused on Riyadh. And any move by Riyadh is viewed critically. A Reuters report, citing Simmons & Co. analyst Bill Herbert, raised eyebrows last week when it said that Saudi Arabia is planning to boost the number of oil rigs in operation by almost 30 percent to 118 from a current level around 92. The report said Saudi Aramco met leading oil service companies including Halliburton over the weekend to discuss plans to boost the rig count to 118. Simmons’ Herbert said Saudi Arabia wanted the rig count to rise quickly in the second half of 2011 and the first half of next year. It was also suggested that Aramco might use some of the rigs for the $16 billion Manifa offshore heavy crude project, scheduled to start up by June 2013 at 500,000 bpd and to be ramped up to 900,000 bpd by 2024. Oil service company Halliburton said late on Monday it would accelerate its activity at Manifa. The Manifa project has been running one rig, but it originally targeted 10 rigs, according to analysts at Houston energy research firm Tudor Pickering Holt. Halliburton won the offshore portion of the Manifa heavy-oil project in 2008 to provide directional drilling, cementing, logging and other services for 93 wells in the Gulf waters off the north-eastern portion of Saudi Arabia. The Saudi move to increase the number of rigs came amidst increasing outage of the "sweet crude" from Libya. And true to its role in balancing the global energy demand — supply equation, media reports now confirm that Riyadh has stepped in to fill in the gap. Media reports indicate Aramco has sold three shipments of light, sweet crude for March and April delivery: Two to Austrian oil company OMV AG and one to the UK’s BP. Each order was for a Suezmax tanker, which can carry up to one million barrels of crude oil. Until the uprising, Libya was exporting about 1.3 million barrels a day, mostly to European refiners. However, the quality of the Libyan oil, made it difficult for them to replace it. Aramco is reportedly offering Arab extra-light crude in the spot market, to compensate the Libyan loss. That sort of oil previously had been available only through long-term contracts. In fact, the reports also emphasize that in order to replace the sweet Libyan crude, and Aramco had to produce a new blend of superlight crude meet the urgent needs of the European refiners. Arab extra light and the superlight blend versions are lighter than Libyan oil. Running between 0.5 percent and 0.8 percent, their sulfur contents are low enough to be considered sweet, but are higher than certain Libyan oil blends, which have sulfur contents of 0.01 percent and 0.07 percent. The report that rig activity in Saudi Arabia was to increase by around 30 percent generated quite an uproar. Eyebrows were raised. Some questioned how quickly Riyadh could be able deliver that additional volume. At least one analyst interpreted it as an indication of limited supplies in the Riyadh’s armory of oil reserves. Tudor Pickering said in a research note "either they have less dry powder (we believe less than three million barrels a day), or they are more concerned about longer-term regional unrest impacting supplies, or both." And while doubting the long term prospects of Saudi crude, Tudor Pickering asked in the note, "With Saudi producing 8.3 million barrels a day pre-Libyan disruptions, why would Saudi accelerate a heavy-oil development if they really had 4.2 million barrels per day of spare capacity?" Simmons & Co. founder Matthew R. Simmons, until his death in August 2010, repeatedly questioned Saudi Arabia’s ability to boost and sustain higher production in the long term, citing geological constraints. Other commentators have also doubted the extent of Saudi spare capacity and said it would be tested to the limit if protest movements across the Middle East caused further supply disruption. "The real risk is that the remaining spare capacity cannot accommodate an escalation in disruption right now in our view," Goldman Sachs wrote in a note dated March 7. Earlier, at the onset of Libyan uprising, Goldman had commented that Libyan disruption could absorb as much as half of OPEC’s spare capacity. The Saudi move needs to be seen with a different prism. The move is not in desperation, as some want the world to believe, it is a move by the global central bank of oil, which is more than once in past has been expected to fill in the gaps in supply. RBC Capital Markets analyst Kurt Hallead believes that Saudi Arabia is "looking to increase oil production capacity in an effort to offset lost production in Libya, create a larger spare capacity cushion and stem a spike in global oil prices." Another commentator contended that Saudi Arabia, rivaled only by Russia in terms of world oil production, was seeking to enlarge the amount of spare capacity it has and thus help blunt a potential further spike in global prices. Before that crisis erupted, the Kingdom retained spare capacity of about four million bpd — three-quarters of a global surplus of about 5 million bpd. However, the need to make up for the shortfall in Libyan crude has eroded that crucial margin. The planned deployment of more rigs shows the Kingdom is trying to build up more spare capacity — a point noted by Herbert of Simmons & Co. "Meeting Libya’s shortfall has got OPEC’s spare capacity down to uncomfortable levels, particularly on a one- to two-year forward view," he added. "The risk premium in the Middle East has risen. Also, with Libyan production falling, Saudi Arabia may feel it has to be ready for higher production capacity," he added. Low spare capacity has helped increase market volatility, many times in recent history. In order to ensure stability, this needs to be avoided. And who else can do it better than Riyadh? The call on Saudi oil is rising and the move by Aramco needs to be seen in this perspective. One cannot help underlining this fact. Source: Arab News

Saudi Arabia's economy to grow 5.5% on higher oil output
The Saudi Arabian economy is likely to expand 5.5 percent this year on higher oil output and state spending, Banque Saudi Fransi said Monday, raising its earlier forecast of 4.2 percent. "The rise in oil output, coupled with greater state spending commitments has also heightened the prospects for higher GDP growth this year," chief economist John Sfakianakis of the Riyadh-based bank wrote in an emailed report. The bank also increased its inflation forecast to 5.6 percent from 5.1 percent on account of higher public expenditure. Saudi Arabia, the world’s biggest oil supplier and a Group of 20 member, is increasing spending on social security and housing amid popular uprisings in the Arab world. The country pledged to help ensure adequate crude supply to the market after violence curbed exports from Libya and raised output to 8.87 million barrels a day in February, a 3.3 percent increase from January, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries said in a March 11 monthly report. Banque Saudi Fransi raised its 2011 state expenditure forecast by 25 percent to SR842.4bn ($225bn), the report said. "The revised forecast also constitutes overspending of 45 percent on the expenditure target set out in this year’s budget, which would be the fastest pace of overspending in three decades." King Abdullah, who returned to the kingdom on February 23 after three months of medical treatment, announced a SR40bn ($10.7bn) increase in housing spending and allocated 1 billion riyals for the social-security budget. Later that month, Abdullah made temporary state employees permanent and ordered government organizations to advertise jobs, state television reported. In the latest measure, the government said yesterday it will offer 4,000 plots of land suitable for building housing units in the northern province of Hail. Crude has climbed almost 19 percent this year, trading as high as $108.78 a barrel today. Source: Bloomberg
