The Future Role of Gas GECF Global Gas Outlook 24 Insights Presentation for the 3rd IEA-IEF-OPEC Symposium on Gas and Coal Market Outlooks Dmitry Sokolov Head of Energy Economics and Forecasting Department Gas Exporting Countries Forum Secretariat 14 December 216

Disclaimer The Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) is an international, governmental organization, established in 21. It became a full-fledged organization in 28 with its permanent secretariat based in Doha, Qatar. The GECF provides the framework for exchanging experience and information among Member Countries. The GECF is a gathering of the world s leading gas producers whose objective is to increase the level of coordination and to strengthen collaboration among MemberCountries. In accordance with the GECF Statute, the organization aims to support the sovereign rights of its Member Countries over their natural gas resources and their abilities to develop, preserve and use such resources for the benefit of their peoples, through the exchange of experience, views, information and co-ordination in gasrelated matters. The Member Countries of the Forum are: Algeria, Bolivia, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Iran, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Russia, Trinidad and Tobago, the United Arab Emirates and Venezuela. Azerbaijan, Iraq, Kazakhstan, the Netherlands, Norway, Oman and Peru have the status of Observer Members. The Outlook is the result of GECFGlobal Gas Model (GGM) calculations. The data, forecast and analysis and any other information contained in this report are for information purposes only.

Introduction and scope The document offers a neutral view on gas market evolution by describing the developments that are most likely to occur in the medium and the long-term. The outcomes of the GECF reference case scenario will serve as a basis to support the formulation of a consistent long-term strategy for the Forum on which it should be aligned, which will allow progress in the agreed objectives that are included in the GECF statute and in various GECF summit declarations. Future versions of the document will explore alternative scenarios. The quantification of the reference case scenario is elaborated through the use of the GECF Global Gas Model, which is a unique energy model developed in-house at the GECF Secretariat. It includes several sub-models with each one focused on one segment of the gas value chain (production, pipelines, LNG, shipping, regasification, contracts and demand). The originality of GECF model is characterized by its high granularity both for demand and for supply, with the consideration of more than 1 countries for the demand and almost 1 countries for the supply representing almost 5 production entities worldwide. A further important characteristic of the model is that it endogenously calculates gas demand curves and gas production profiles country by country, according to appropriate assumptions and inputs. All of the sub-models have been calibrated and based on 215 as the most recent year of available historical data.

In the short term, while growth in some advanced economies is gradually picking up, growth in the emerging economies shows signs ofwavering. Key contributing factors are the impact of low commodity prices, tighter financing conditions, and the rebalancing measures in China; these result in weak investment and slower trade growth worldwide, in a setting of increased geopolitical tensions.

Natural gas will be the largest contributor to the increase in total primary consumption, with a share of almost 4%, followed by non-hydro renewables, which account for almost 3% of additional primary energy demand over the projection period.

Indeed, under the Outlook, the gas share of global energy demand increases from 21% in 215 to over 25% in 24 * Note: due to rounding, numbers may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.

Furthermore, increasing the penetration of clean fuels, including gas and renewables in countries fuel mix, will also widen the gap between carbon dioxideemissionsandtotal primary consumption GECF Global Gas Outlook 24-1 - GECF Secretariat, 47-48 Fl., Tornado Tower, West Bay, Doha, Qatar

Regional breakdown of primary gas demand (215 and 24) in the Outlook In the OECD region, natural gas approaches oil consumption as a dominant fuel by the end of outlook period with a share of 32% in primary energy by 24. However, in non-oecd, natural gas remain third most-consumed fuel, still behind coal and oil, and reaching a share of around 22% by 24 GECF Global Gas Outlook 24-11 - GECF Secretariat, 47-48 Fl., Tornado Tower, West Bay, Doha, Qatar

In the Outlook gas use in the power sector is projected to grow by 2.2% per year, which is faster than global gas demand growth of 1.6%. As a result, the power sector s share of global gas demand increases from 35% in 215 to 41% by 24. GECF Global Gas Outlook 24-13 - GECF Secretariat, 47-48 Fl., Tornado Tower, West Bay, Doha, Qatar

GECF Global Gas Outlook 24-24 - GECF Secretariat, 47-48 Fl., Tornado Tower, West Bay, Doha, Qatar

Conclusion Gas demand and supply remain coordinated during the Outlook period, even though some short periods of disequilibrium might occur, and long-term contracts act asthe tool to manage the volume and price risk. The gas industry in all countries will require significant investments in order to deliver new gas to domestic and to export markets. The Outlook emphasizes the importance of maintaining contractual relationships between the buyers and sellers in international gas trade that will support the needed investment. Sellers and buyers will require that the risks in both volume and price can and will be effectively managed. The work shows that GECF members are in a position to maintain, throughout the period to 24, the share in international trade that is implied by the leastcost solutions of our modelling and forecasting exercise. The role of natural gas in the battle with greenhouse gas emissions gains momentum especially after the ratification of the COP21 agreement. The GECF Secretariat will continue to support GECF members both in dialogue in the international community and with analytical support such as that contained in thisedition of GECF Global GasOutlookto 24.
