1 THE FUTURE OF EUROPEAN NATURAL GAS Roberto F. Aguilera University of Vienna Department of Economics Hohenstaufengasse 9, A-1010, Vienna, Austria Overview The debate over the availability of natural gas has been nearly as strong as that for conventional oil. In Europe, the debate is strengthened due to the region s dependence on natural gas from outside countries. In addition, concern has been expressed by some energy experts in recent years about an imminent shortage of natural gas from Europe, caused supposedly by dwindling natural gas resources and a peak in annual production. Thus, the purpose of this analysis is to addresses the concern by assessing the availability of natural gas in the region. Figure 1 show a map of Europe divided into petroleum provinces. The provinces with vertical stripes have been given volumetric estimates of natural gas by the United States Geological Survey in their World Petroleum Asessment, henceforth referred to as USGS (2000). There are thirteen provinces for which gas estimates are provided by USGS (2000). In total, Europe can be divided in 62 provinces, thus there are 49 provinces which have not previously been assessed for gas volumes. Table 1 provides a list of name of the previously assessed and unassessed provinces. Table 2 provides the endowment volumes estimated by the USGS (2000) for the thirteen assessed provinces. Endowment volumes as defined by the USGS are equal to known plus undiscovered volumes. The total gas endowment volume for those provinces is estimated to be 796 trillion cubic feet of gas (TCFG).

3 Methods The methodology used in this study relies on a recently developed Variable Shape Distribution (VSD) model (see Aguilera, 2006) that estimates the endowment volumes of natural gas in European provinces that have not previously been assessed. The VSD is a statistical method known as size distribution analysis. These types of models have been very successful in complementing geological techniques used to estimated natural resources in previously unassessed areas. Figure 2 shows a size distribution graph with number of provinces on the vertical axis and province size on the horizontal axis. Typically, nature s endowment of oil and gas resources has been modelled with an assumed lognormal or the Pareto (fractal) distributions (see Kaufman, 1962; Mandelbrot, 1982). In fact, all previous size distribution methods have been based on an assumed form of the size distribution of oil and gas resources. The VSD model is different because we use non-linear regression to generate a curve that gives the best fit of actual data instead of specifying the size distribution relationship beforehand. The model is then run on additional provinces that were not previously assessed. Fig. 2. Lognormal curve and Pareto (fractal curve). Adapted from Barton (1995). When the Pareto (fractal) curve is displayed on a graph with log log coordinates, a straight line results (see Figure 3). On this type of graph, the largest assessed provinces tend to form a straight line before curving to the left as the province size decreases. The Pareto line is fitted over these large data points and is extended to some arbitrary minimum volume. The area between the straight line and the observed oil and gas data represents the unassessed volumes of oil and gas. Experience shows that this Pareto method tends to overestimate actual resources, while the lognormal distribution tends to underestimate them (see Drew, 1997). 3

Pareto (fractal) curve on log log coordinates. Adapted from Barton (1995). This paper does not show the development or details of the VSD models. For comprehensive coverage of the VSD, see Aguilera (2006) and Aguilera et al. (2009). However, this paper does present the results of the VSD model for the case of natural gas in Europe. Results Figure 4 shows the thirteen European provinces for which USGS (2000) provides gas volumes. The data is plotted on a log log graph showing number of provinces versus the size of the provinces. A straight (Pareto) line has been placed over the largest provinces, which approximate a straight line. As mentioned earlier, the total gas volumes for these provinces is 796 TCFG. 4
5 Fig. 4. Number of European provinces versus size of provinces. Data from USGS (2000). Figure 5 shows the estimated VSD curve for the thirteen provinces. As can be seen, the visual fit is very good, with an R 2 of In addition, the volume given by the curve, 796 TCFG, is the same as the estimate presented by USGS (2000). Given this validation, we can now run the VSD model for the previously unassessed provinces. Fig. 5. Number of European provinces versus size of provinces. Data from USGS (2000) and VSD model. 5
6 Figure 6 shows a new VSD curve for all sixty two European provinces, including those previously not assessed. The estimated gas volume for these provinces is approximately 1,403 TCFG. Figure 7 shows an additional curve that takes into account reserve growth. Reserve growth is defined as the increases in volumes of previously assessed areas, often due to technological advancement. In this case, reserve growth accounts for an increase in volumes of 55.91%. The figure is calculated from the estimated gas reserve growth presented in USGS (2000). However, in that study, reserve growth only applies to known volumes. In this study, reserve growth applied to previously unassessed volumes as well. This is because it s possible that even previously unassessed volumes will experience the growth that comes from developments such as improved recovery factors. The volume estimated by the new curve, including reserve growth, is 2,188 TCFG. Fig. 6. Number of European provinces versus size of provinces, including previously unassesed provinces. Fig. 7. Number of European provinces versus size of provinces, including previously unassesed provinces and reserve growth. 6
7 The volumetric estimates provided by the VSD model are next combined with production costs to construct cumulative availability curves for natural gas from Europe. These curves, first proposed by Tilton and Skinner (1987), show how the fixed stock of natural gas varies with prices or costs for all time (see Figure 8). This is different than a traditional supply curve, which shows flow variables (for a specified time period) that can continue from one period to the next (see Figure 9). Price ($ / bbl) Cumulative Quantity (bbl) Fig. 8. Cumulative availability curve representing stocks for all time. Price ($ / bbl) Quantity (bbl / year) Fig. 9. Traditional supply curve representing a specified time period, such as a month or year. Figure 10 shows two cumulative availability curves. The first shows the gas endowment volume of natural gas in European countries, including volumes from previously unassessed provinces, versus average total production costs (capital plus operating costs). The gas endowment volume generated by the VSD model for sixty two provinces, 1,403 TCFG, is distributed proportionally by country according to the proved reserves of each country (EIA, 2009). The second availability curve includes reserve growth, which shifts the curve to the right by the reserve growth factor of 55.91%. The volumetric and cost data used to generate the curves is presented in Table 3. 7

9 Fig. 10. Cumulative supply curves for European natural gas. Conclusions Results of the study indicate that the quantity of natural gas in Europe is greater then often assumed. This is due to the tendency for concerned experts to overlook the significant volumes that may exist in previously unassessed provinces. Many analysts also tend to overlook significant volumes that may come from the important factor known as reserve growth. In addition to this result, the endowment volumes of natural gas can be produced at costs that are economic at current market prices. Compared with mid-2008 prices, the production costs are substantially lower. These results suggest that natural gas in Europe should last longer than many concerned experts claim. This result, together with the finding that the natural gas endowment in the region can be produced economically, should assist in ensuring security of gas supply in Europe. References Aguilera, R.F.
