Construction Clients Group The Impact of Oil Supply Constraints on Capital Investment Strategy Archer Davis 1

• False Alarm !! • Oil below US$ 70 • Problem Solved • Save the SUV Archer Davis 2

If Only That Was So …….. Recent Events Demonstrate the System Dynamics • Supply & Demand Now Finely Balanced • Rising Demand Drove Prices Through the Roof • High Fuel Prices Destroyed Demand – after a while • Falling Demand Caused Rapid Fall in Prices • Volatility Will Continue to Keep the Balance • High Fuel Prices Made the Collapse Worse ?? • All Previous Price Spikes Linked to Recessions Archer Davis 3

What Happened to the Traffic ? 145 Figure 1 - Moving 12-Month Total on ALL Roads Auckland Traffic 140 Monthly Fuel Sales 3,150 135 Million litres/mth 3,100 130 3,050 125 3,000 2,950 120 2,900 115 2,850 110 2,800 2,750 105 Jul-98 Jul-99 Jul-00 Jul-01 Jul-02 Jul-03 Jul-04 Jul-05 Jul-06 Jul-07 Jul-08 2,700 2,650 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 Archer Davis 4

If Only That Was So …….. All we Need is Recession to Keep Prices Down ?? • Supply may be in Still Rising - Very Slowly • Or in the Plateau Stage Now • But After “Peak” Oil Supply will Start Falling • Slowly at first then maybe Faster • The Only Way to Exit Recession & Settle Volatility ?? • Proactively Lower Demand – Ahead of Falling Supply This is Oil Depletion – this is the Energy Descent Archer Davis 5

What is Oil Depletion ? WE ARE NOT RUNNING OUT OF OIL • But there will be Max Rate of Production – Peak Oil • Now 86 m bbl/day = 31.4 bn bbl/yr • After Peak Oil rate of production will start to decline • But demand continues to grow • Example: Chindia phenomenon • So, A Growing Supply/ Demand Gap • Unmet demand = High Prices Archer Davis 6

Peak Oil Rules : It’s a Game of Two Halves 1. Production rate increases with added wells to max geological yield 2. Max production rate @ half way thru & can never return 3. The first half of the oil resource is higher quality & easier to extract 4. After Peak • production will decline • quality will decline • Risk profile will decline Archer Davis 7

Players in the Theatre of Peak Debate • Denialists • PollyAnnas – Cornucopeans – Petro Prozac – Abiotic Oil – Techno Mirage – Conspiracy – Market Mystic – Not yet Proven – Climate Change ? Will – Drill, Baby Drill Reduce CO 2 • “Doomers” – • Life Boats – External Locus of – Internal Locus of Control Control – Catabolic Collapse – Catastrophic Collapse – Managed Depletion – End of Times – Energy Descenders – Armageddon – Transition Townies – Head for the Hills Archer Davis 8

Forecasts of Supply, Demand & World GDP International Energy Agency (IEA) • Set up by OECD countries (includes NZ) in 1970s • Agent for oil management • Annual, semi-annual and monthly reports • Focus on Supply and Demand related to world GDP • Many others, including – Energy Information Administration EIA – US Dept of Energy – Oil Drum – ASPO Archer Davis 9

Supply / Demand Shortfall OPEC 2.75 Medium Term Supply & Demand Growth (IEA) Crude = $$ Price Gains New Projects Delayed All Very Complex OPEC 2.25 • Gas High Cost Liquid • High Risk • Biofuels New Technology 1.75 • Credit Squeeze ?? 1.45 mb/d mbbl/d Non- 1.25 OPEC Crude Demand 0.75 @ 4.5% GDP High 0.25 Demand @ 5.9% GDP Low 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Archer Davis 10 Demand -0.25

WORLD (Excludes Biofuels) What Happens After the Peak ? Conventional Oil Peak 2006 Total Oils Peak 2010 Archer Davis 12

What Happens After the Production Peak ? SOME SCENARIOS TO EVALUATE “WHAT IF ?” • Portland, Oregon (2007) approx 2.5% pa (50% by ’32) • Average long term World Decline 4% • Scenario for War or Disaster not considered • ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Risk & Probability Scenario (+ IEA Reduction stages) 2. Scenario “Progressive 2+4+8” 3. Electric Vehicle Replacement Scenario Archer Davis 13

Portland Plan to reduce by 50% In 25 Years Many Other Cities incl London, Hamilton, Ontario, Ventura, Calif have similar initiatives Final report 7 th March 2007 Archer Davis 14

Risk & Probability Approach to Energy Descent Meta Forecasts & IEA Fuel Reduction targets (Dantas, Krumdieck) Risk Appetite with p = 50% Allow 10 years preparation Archer Davis 15

What Happens After the Production Peak ? • Scenario “Progressive 2+4+8” – Assumes – Supply/Demand Squeeze from 2012 (IEA date) – Initially 2% only decline (new fields still added) – 2007 IEA 4% net annual decline – Then Avge 8% (>10% OECD & some national limit) – Result is 70% decline by 2032 (Graph Shows %age daily Oil Production rate remaining) Archer Davis 16

Why the Steep Production Decline Later ? � Global net decline 5% pa for 2008-2013 � Need > 3.5mb/d new start-ups every year to stand still � OECD facing mature field decline >10% pa Archer Davis 17 International Energy Agency MTOMR Sept 2008

Energy Use & GDP Are Tightly Coupled governments try to “uncouple” GDP & Energy (In NZ 50% of energy is from Oil in 2007) If NZ Can’t Decouple 14% DECOUPLED = 9% GDP Decline 50% Energy demand (Consumer) 0.6% GDP Decline/yr GDP = Sustained Recession 20% 4%Oil = 1.5% avge Energy Decline 0% 23% Energy Supply Drop 1990 2005 2012 15 years 15 years 2027 Archer Davis 20 (MED Energy data 2006)

The Electric Vehicle Scenario 3,000,000 2,500,000 Lower /cap 2,000,000 Ownership ICEs 1,500,000 EVs 1,000,000 500,000 0 2012 2014 2016 2018 2020 2022 2024 2026 2028 2030 2032 2034 2036 BEV replacement can be achieved But: • New Vehicles vs Second Hand Imports • Cost 2 - 3 times • Break even with ICE not before $4 / litre Archer Davis 22 • Probably Recession Conditions

Planning to Decouple in Progressive Energy Descent Scenario 100% 2%, 4%, 8% Progression 90% 2.5 % - Portland 80% Energy Plan 70% Roll-Over Transition 60% 50% Orderly Descent 40% 30% Rapid Production Decline 20% 10% 0% 1 6 11 16 21 26 Archer Davis 23

How to Decouple ? Reverse Transport & Land Use Hierarchies Link Land Use & Transport Planning Short to Medium term 2016 - 2022 • No More Subsidy for Personal Car infrastructure • Stop & Withdraw Free Parking • Invest in PT – include operations, e.g. frequency • Convert PT to Electric – Rail – Trolley buses - Trams • Safety, Amenity for Vulnerable Modes – Walking – Cycles - Motorcycles • Freight Management Strategy with Business • Focus on Small town Centres – Counter “Big Box” • Energy Sensitivity in Planning – Shorter Travel • More Mixed Use & TOD with Mixed Use • Defend MUL & Avoid Distant Dormitory Cities Archer Davis 24

A Vision of Transport in Rapid Descent Period Medium to Long Term - Progressive 2022 - 2038 • Liquid Fuels - Expensive, Rationed • Private Cars - Electric, HOV, Workshop, PT • Electric PT Backbone & Feeders - Electric Rail, Trolley Buses & Trams, CNG Buses • Electric Rail to North Shore – with Freight Capacity • Convert Arterial lanes for Trams & Trolleys • Convert Motorway Lanes to Trolley Bus & Light Rail • Freight using Trolley network & CNG distribution • Road Maintenance Cost Crisis: - Abandon No Exits / Minor Roads, Preserve Footpaths for Cycles, Carts Archer Davis 25

What About That Rapid Descent Scenario ? (Portland Chose not to Plan for this) 100% USA / Canada & China Bilaterals 80% 60% EU & India Bilaterals 40% 20% 14 m bbl/day production extracted each time 0% 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035 2040 Archer Davis 26

• Oil is a Limited Resource – It Will Run Out • Oil won’t Suddenly End – It Will Gradually Deplete • The Peak Moment is Uncertain, but not Far Away • Oil = Transport = Economic Activity • Energy and Economy Are Closely Linked • Energy Descent Could Mean Economic Descent • Risks of “Inaction” Higher than “Action” to Decouple • Transport Infrastructure Must Change to Decouple • City Structure Must Change to Decouple • How Does Your Client’s Business Fit the Challenge ?
