Saudi Arabia is the only material holder of spare crude oil production capacity around the world. Spare capacity currently sits at c2mn bpd, which is one of the lowest levels ever. Even if Saudi Arabia did start investing today, it would take a number of years to be completed and would unlikely be ready before 2020 in any case. Hence, as Saudi ramps up production over the medium-term by digging into its spare capacity, the risk premium in the oil market will rise as the market becomes increasingly less able to handle future supply disruptions.

IEA estimates Saudi production capacity at 12.2mn bpd If Saudi gas production gets off the ground, it could crowd out oil demand... The Saudi NTP plans to grow domestic gas production by 50% to 18 bcf/d by 2020, and to use most of this gas to meet a 30% rise in domestic power demand and moreover boost gas’ share in power generation to 70%, up from 50% currently. This implies that oil burned for power generation could drop by 30% or 300 thousand bpd by 2020, most of which would likely be crude which is more valuable in the export market than the 38 GEMs Paper #26 | 30 June 2016 38 Merrill Lynch HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016148
