Demand for crude oil

Demand for crude oil to remain high due to increasing world population

Some good news for those looking to get a job on an oil rig. Oil demand is one of the most closely scrutinized financial sectors in the world. Energy companies are some of the largest corporations on earth. Governments can succeed or fail based solely on the basis of their crude oil exports. Because of this, oil production and consumption is one of the most closely measured sets of data in the world.

In the western world crude oil consumption per person peaked in the 1970s. Each person has been consuming slightly less oil per year fairly steadily for decades throughout North America, Europe, and Australia. But per capita consumption of crude oil has yet to peak in any major Asian country. While the per capita usage has been increasing slowly since the early 1980s, it has yet to stop increasing in India, Pakistan or China.

Despite the very small overall increase in worldwide per capita crude oil consumption, overall oil demand increases almost every single year. And that’s because the population of the world continues to increase at a rate faster than any other time in human history.

And with an increase in population comes an increase in oil demand, despite per capita usage remaining mostly stable.

In the mid 20th century a barrel of oil cost only a couple of dollars. Even when adjusted for inflation the cost per barrel was only about 20 dollars But in the mid 1970s as the demand in the US and Europe started levelling out the cost skyrocketed to nearly 70 dollars per barrel. At that time it peaked at an inflation adjusted price of nearly 120 dollars per barrel in 1979. But at that time the world population was just a bit north of 4 billion.

By the year 2000 the world population was nearly 6 billion people, with another one billion added before 2015.

Crude oil peaked in 2008 at an inflation adjusted price of $134 per barrel. Since then it has maintained fairly steadily above $100 per barrel and isn’t expected to drop any time soon. Despite increased production to a huge increase in drilling companies expanding their operations due to good prospects in the worldwide demand for oil, the price continues to stay very high. The booming world population, fuelled greatly by the massive increase in oil consumption throughout Asia, is expected to keep oil demand very strong far into the future.

Small oil company’s shareholder fight has international reach

He's also a car enthusiast, a member of the Offshore Energy Center Hall of Fame for founding the DeepStar research collaborative, and his current company, Buccaneer, works in Alaska. ( Karen Warren / Houston Chronicle )

A small independent oil and gas company, based in Houston but working in Alaska and listed on the Australian stock exchange, is locked in a takeover battle with Chinese investors who have called for a July 2 showdown.

Buccaneer Energy CEO Curtis Burton and the rest of the directors have a final chance to persuade shareholders to keep them on the board even as the company’s stock is trading at just pennies a share. They’ll make their case during a call-in meeting Tuesday — Wednesday in Australia, where many of the shareholders live.

That follows a series of shareholder meetings in Houston and Australia to counter arguments by two investor groups, Pacific Hill International Limited and Harbour Sun Enterprises Ltd., that claim that Buccaneer has lost its way, beset by delays and cost overruns as it pursued an ambitious drilling program in Alaska’s Cook Inlet and on the Kenai Peninsula.

Low stock price

Burton, who founded the company in 2006, acknowledges the stock price is a problem. It traded at 4 cents a share Friday; share prices reached a high of 40 cents in 2008.

But he insists the company is poised to turn around, with two gas wells producing onshore and a third well now drilling offshore.

Mounting fees: Repairs and permitting complications dog huge jack-up rig

He said the company’s proven reserves of 27.1 million barrels of oil equivalent in Alaska are at stake and couches the issue as a U.S. company at risk of being taken over by foreign investors for “pennies on the dollar,” most of its assets sold or being taken private, leaving shareholders with little recourse.

“I’m more than a little ticked off that a couple of fat-cat Chinese investors can come in” and threaten to take over the company, he said.

Struggle for funding

Buccaneer struggled for funding from the beginning and continues to lose money, according to its latest quarterly report. But the losses are lower than in previous quarters, and a report issued last month by Australian financial firm Bell Potter Securities predicted revenue will increase over the next few years.

Burton and Dean Gallegos, the company’s Australian-based finance director, have begun a campaign to counter Pacific Hill and Harbour Sun, sending out a letter Friday urging shareholders to vote against the proposal to remove them and the rest of the Buccaneer board.

Representatives from Pacific Hill and Harbour Sun, both of which list Hong Kong addresses, could not be reached for comment.

According to materials distributed by Buccaneer at the dissident shareholders’ behest, those investors want to shrink the company to better match its “financial and human resource capacity.” They question Buccaneer’s reliance on Alaskan tax credits, as well as its decision to purchase a jack-up drilling rig.

The rig required costly repairs when it arrived in Homer, Alaska, from Singapore last year. After seven months and a legal dispute with a repair contractor,the rig launched in March and is drilling in the inlet.

Burton met with Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell and members of the Alaska Legislature in mid-June, weeks after it became clear the takeover threat was serious. He said he did not discuss the issue with them, instead focusing on Parnell’s ideas for energy development in the state.

A Parnell spokeswoman said Friday the governor was not aware of the takeover threat.

Neither were Alaskan environmentalists, who have criticized Buccaneer for its entry into the Cook Inlet, which hadn’t been drilled for nearly 20 years.

But Bob Shavelson, executive director of the Cook Inletkeeper, was cautious about a takeover.

“It depends on who the new owners are going to be,” he said.

Under Australian law, any shareholder with at least 5 percent of stock can request a meeting be called. Pacific Hill and Harbour Sun own 8.69 percent of Buccaneer, according to the letter sent to shareholders.

Buccaneer spokesman Richard Loomis said company management, including Burton, own about 3 percent of shares.

The July 2 meeting will be in Sydney. The dissidents will ask shareholders to remove all five directors – Americans Burton and Frank Culberson, CEO of Rimkus Consulting Group, and Australians Gallegos, Alan Broome and Bruce Burrell – and replace them with Nicholas Davies, Shaun Scott and Clinton Adams. Davies and Scott are the founders of Arrow Energy, a coal seam gas company based in Australia.

Rules for companies listed on the U.S. stock exchange make it more difficult for minority stockholders to attempt a coup. But Burton said regulations make it too hard for a small company to raise money in the United States.

“If I had to do it again, I’d go to Australia again,” he said.

Even if he is removed from the board, he has a contract as CEO.

“But this isn’t about me keeping my job,” he said. “If I went home tomorrow, I’d be disappointed about the outcome, but I could start something else.”
