Long-term drivers intact,
•
Long-term drivers in place
–
–
–
–
Slow non-OPEC production growth, OPEC to keep prices high
despite short-term demand drop
More offshore, as onshore reserves are not accessible
….and Deeper Waters – the key driver for higher complexity
Require more and at the same time bigger offshore equipment
2
Credit crisis to impact short-term activity
•
Credit crisis to impact offshore subsea construction market
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Average planning price at USD70/bbl (Pareto E&P Survey 2008)
Majors/NOCs and deepwater fields at USD50-70/bbl
Up to 90% of SURF demand comes from this group of projects
Possible shortage of bigger subsea construction assets from 201011E
Support vessels more uncertain short-term
Credit crisis has a positive impact on long-term market balance by in
stalling speculative newbuilds
’Commited’ work different from other oil services activities

Oil Companies Capex
Crude Oil-Brent Dated FOB U$/BBL
Historically, short term volatility in oil price has not lead to lower capex as the capex
plans are made long term.

Some recent examples from small-caps
•
Petroquest Energy cut its third-quarter production outlook, citing the impact from
hurricanes, and its capital expenditure budget for 2008 due to the recent decline in
commodity prices and the impact from hurricane related deferred production.
–
2008 CAPEX $265 million to $285 million. Vs. $270 - 300 million
previosuly
•
The company also announced that on 2 October it closed a $300 million bank credit
facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank.
•
SandRidge Energy has slashed its capital expenditure budget from $2 billion to $1billion
…. blaming recent declines in natural gas prices.
•
Chesapeake Energy is cutting capital expenditure on drilling by 17% through 2010 due
to a plunge in natural gas prices and concerns about a US market surplus
•
Oilexco experiencing funding delays
12
SURF market in partiucular
•
SURF market outlook remains strong despite ”financial
turmoil”
– Very much driven by deepwater
•
On paper, supply growth looks aggressive
– ….but growth in ”enablers” is more limited

on paper the segmentation
is “balanced”
Total newbuilds
139 Ships
30-45 to be pure IMR and
Well Intervention vessels
30 + 15 are ROVs and
smaller DSVs – New DSVs
not build for 20 years,
replacement is fear
10-20 could be in potential
financial squeeze
Deepwater Enablers
38 Ships
IMR/WI/Support/Shallow Water
101 Ships
=> Leaves limited new
supply of ”real”
construction assets
16
Demand Growth IMR and WI
• Market tripled since 2002
– Hurricane repair in US GoM
– Well intervention from vessels as alternative to drilling rigs
– Fields with large number of subsea wells require dedicated vessels
– IMR of pipelines and other subsea installations increase due to accumulated
installations and increased age, but efficiency is also improving

Vessels with deepwater construction and pipe lay capabilities
• Main criteria: Crane capacity, deck space, length, breadth, DP III etc.
• Adding these criteria yields a very limited number of available units
• Existing “enabler” fleet of 68, newbuilds of 23 represents a 34% fleet increase

Subsea contracts
• Mismatch between awarded rig contracts vs. subsea contracts in US GoM/Brazil

Conclusion
•
SURF market outlook remains strong despite ”financial
turmoil”
– Very much driven by deepwater
•
On paper, supply growth looks aggressive
– ….but growth in ”enablers” is more limited
•
Some of the new and bigger assets could be for sale
(…and/or forced to)
•
There are potentially opportunities also in a bigger scale
– Attractively valued companies after share price
massacres

Disclaimers and disclosures
This document provides additional disclosures and disclaimers relevant to research reports and other investment recommendations (“Recommendations”) issued by Pareto Securities ASA (“Pareto”), cf. the
Securities Trading Act Section 2-10 with further regulations.
Basis and methods for assessment
Recommendation for shares and share related instruments are based on price targets fixed with different valuation methods that may include analysis of earnings multiples (absolute and relative), valuation
of a company using DCF calculations (discounted cash flow) and by carrying out net asset value (NAV) assessments. Price targets are changed when earnings and cash flow forecasts are changed. They
may also be changed when the underlying value of the issuer’s assets changes or when factors impacting the required rate of return change.
Pareto credit analysts provide credit ratings which is a framework for comparing the credit quality of rated debt securities. The ratings are based on the same rating scale as international rating agencies
and represent the opinion of Pareto as to the relative creditworthiness of securities. A credit rating on a stand alone basis should not be used as a basis for investment operations. Pareto Securities may
also provide credit research with more specific price targets. These price targets are based on different valuation methods. These methods may include analysis of key credit ratios and other factors
describing the securities creditworthiness, peer group analysis of securities with similar creditworthiness and different DCF-valuations.
Definitions of key terms: *
Strong Buy: Pareto expect this financial instruments’ total return to exceed 30% over the next six months.
Buy: Pareto expect this financial instruments’ total return to exceed 10% over the next six months.
Hold: Pareto expect this financial instruments’ total return to be 0-10% over the next six months.
Reduce: Pareto expect this financial instruments’ total return to be negative over the next six months.
* Please note that these definitions are guidelines only.
Risks related to investments and Recommendations
There is risk attached to all investments in financial instruments. The analyst’s assessment of the risk is identified by the terms High, Medium or Low Risk in the relevant Recommendation. There may be
uncertainties with respect to the accurateness and reliability of any information, interpretation and assessment. There are uncertainties and risks attached to the correctness of any Recommendation by
Pareto and with respect to forward looking statements and expectations.
Standards and supervision
Pareto complies with the standards for recommendations issued by the Association of Norwegian Stock broking Companies and the Norwegian Society of Financial Analysts. Pareto is under the
supervision of the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway.
No agreement with the issuer concerning Recommendations
Pareto has no agreements with issuers with respect to dissemination of Recommendations. Generally Pareto will however present the Recommendation for the issuer prior to dissemination to assure a
correct factual basis.
Organisation and duty of confidentiality
All employees of Pareto are subject to duty of confidentiality towards clients and with respect to handling inside information. Pareto has established “Chinese walls” and other organisational procedures for
the purpose of minimizing conflicts of interest within Pareto and in the Pareto group and between clients.
