INTERNATIONAL ENERGY BIWEEKLY REVIEW
The strenth of Iran's commitment to an oil price freeze will have a crucial
bearing on OPEC's decision on whether to raise 1978 crude oil prices. At this time, it
is still uncertain how forcefully Iran will assert its support of a price freeze.
The Shah shifted his position while in Washington by pledging that Iran would
actively work for a freeze when the cartel members meet in Caracas on 20 December.
A staunch Iranian-Saudi Arabian coalition probably could successfully hold the price
line, even though most OPEC states strongly favor an increase.
Tehran initially had planned to maintain a neutral position at Caracas and side
with the majority. This would have led to an increase of 5 to 10 percent, since Riyadh
previously indicated it would not stand alone in support of a price freeze. Shortly
before the Shah's announcement, Saudi oil minister Yamani delivered a letter to the
United Arab Emirates stating that Saudi Arabia would support a price freeze, unless
this policy would cause a split among OPEC countries.
If Iran's commitment to a freeze is softer than the Shah's recent assurances
suggest, then an increase in price is still likely. To push through a freeze, the Iranian
delegation will have to stick to its stance beyond the opening rounds of negotiations at
Caracas and resist pressure to reach an accomodation with the majority in later
rounds.
The Shah's recent announcement has sparked little change in strategy among the
proponents of a price hike. Those seeking an increase hope to mold a common front
that would pressure Saudi Arabia and Iran to conform to the majority position. Both
sides want to avoid a replay of the split that occurred last year at Doha.
The Shah's revised position probably has caused some cartel members to lower
their expectations. Venezuelan oil minister Hernandez and his Indonesian counterpart

recently met separately with Kuwaiti oil minister Kazimi and agreed to seek an 8-
percent increase at Caracas. These countries reportedly are willing to implement such
an increase in two stages-4 percent in January and 4 percent in July. Additional
bargaining among Arab members of OPEC will take place at the OAPEC ministerial
meeting scheduled for mid-December in Bahrain.
Abu Dhabi reportedly will reduce its government-imposed oil production
ceilings next year by about 250,000 b/d, more than 15 percent below current levels.
This decision results from concerns of oil ministry officials-currently disputed by
the operating companies-that technical constraints at important onshore and
offshore fields limit levels of prudent oil output, at least in the near term. This
ministry argument is buttressed by studies of independent reservoir engineering
consultants. The government is also reacting to the lack of petroleum exploration in
the past few years and the resulting net decline in oil reserves. We do not agree with
the judgment in oil industry publications that these production restrictions are
politically induced by the current market surplus. We will provide an in-depth
technical analysis of this subject in a future issue. (Secret Noforn-Noeontract-Orcon)

While the Shah of Iran was coming out for a freeze in 1978 crude oil prices
during his Washington visit, representatives of Venezuela and Indonesia were
reaching separate agreements with Kuwait to press for an 8-percent increase when the
cartel oil ministers meet in Caracas on 20 December. Despite these moves, price
positions remain flexible, and more maneuvering is expected before the ministers
assemble.
Iran: From "Neutrality" to "Active" Support for a Freeze
Iran will play a pivotal role in the OPEC decision whether to raise crude oil
prices on 1 January 1978. When the Shah recently announced that Iran would actively
work for a price freeze, he still left himself a wide range of options. At one extreme,
the Shah may instruct his delegation to initially support a freeze and then work out an
accommodation with the majority in later rounds of negotiation. Or, Iran could back a
price freeze to the hilt, using its political influence to win converts and indicating
clearly that he will accept no compromise involving an increase. Given the strong
feeling among most OPEC states in favor of an increase, a staunch Iranian-Saudi
Arabian coalition will be necessary to hold the price line.
Before his Washington visit, the Shah had intended Iran to play a "neutral" role
at Caracas. The Iranian representative would have deferred any price presentation
until all other member countries made their preferences known; the Iranian delega-
tion was then to have voted with the majority. This is equivalent to Iranian support for
a price increase, since most members lean in that direction.
So far, we are not aware of any Iranian efforts to enlist further support for a price
freeze within OPEC. Iranian oil officials had not been prebriefed on any shift in
Tehran's position before the Shah's Washington visit, and no instructions or clarifica-
tions of the Shah's position have been discerned filtering down since the Shah's return.
Consequently, we are still uncertain how forcefully Iran will press its support for a
freeze on 1978 prices.
Saudi Arabia: Not Willing To Stand Alone
Riyadh is far more reluctant to risk a split on the pricing issue than it was at this
time last year. While the Saudis favor a price freeze, their efforts to rally support are
largely limited to an impromptu visit by oil minister Yamani to neighboring Kuwait,

 Approved For Release 2001/04/11 : CIA-RDP79B00457A001100020001-9
Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates in early November. Yamani's message to the
UAE was that Saudi Arabia will support an oil price freeze at Caracas, unless this
policy would cause a split among OPEC countries.
Iran's shift came at an important time, probably reinforcing the Saudis' resolve to
press for a price freeze. If Iran's support is softer than the Shah's recent pronounce-
ments suggest, however, we believe that Riyadh also would accede to a small price
increase.
UAE and Qatar: Support for the Saudis
Both the UAE and Qatar have told Riyadh that the Saudis have their support,
whatever the final Saudi position. Both, however, apparently feel that they will not be
faced with the choice of siding with a minority decision. After Yamani's visit, UAE oil
minister Utayba said "we do not want a repetition of what occurred at Doha."
Privately, Utayba admitted that he expects a 5- to 8-percent increase to be approved.
Venezuela: Rejecting a Freeze
While his expectations apparently were lowered slightly by Iran's new price
stance, Venezuelan President Perez remains firmly committed to a price hike. Perez is
confident, moreover, that Iran will not stand in the way of some increase at the
Caracas meeting. When asked by the press for his reaction to the Shah's indication
"that he is going to fight for prices to be frozen," Perez replied that is not what the
Shah said. "The Shah often has said that he will not be a factor of controversy, that is
to say, that his country will not be a factor of controversy in the next OPEC meeting.
At least, that is what I have read. "
The day after the Shah left Washington, President Perez predicted an increase in
OPEC's 1978 prices of "no more than 8 percent and no less than 5 percent." Earlier,
Venezuela had been calling for a 10-percent raise. Justifying the increase, which he
considered. "small" and "reasonable," Perez said "the purchasing power of the dollars
we get from our oil has been substantially reduced during the last two years by world
inflation, so the increase of price is only fair." Perez rejected a US plea to support a
freeze.
To rally support for an increase, Perez sent oil minister Hernandez to the Mideast
earlier this month. At a meeting with Kuwait's oil minister Kazimi, the two reportedly
agreed to press for a two-part, 8-percent price increase-4 percent in January and 4
percent in July. Hernandez told the Kuwaitis that he had enlisted widespread support
for this formula.

Kuwait: Wants To Compensate for Inflation
Kuwait has received three OPEC oil ministers this month-Yamani, Hernandez,
and Indonesia's Sadli. Kuwait reportedly agreed with both Sadli and Hernandez to
support an 8-percent increase. Kuwait considers its position as moderate, asking only
to cover inflation and losses in the value of its foreign investments.
During the Yamani visit, which preceded the others, Kuwait reportedly told the
Saudis that it would accept the "final" Saudi position, probably expecting it to be in
line with the majority.
Other Cartel Members
Pressure for a price increase of at least 10 percent will come from the usual group
of price hawks. Iraq's claim that a 23-percent raise is justified by inflation and rising
costs of imports from consuming nations is unrealistic; this percentage obviously is
being used as an opening wedge. Iraq has claimed agreement on pricing policy with
Algeria, who supports a 10-percent increase. Libya also favors an increase of at least
10 percent.
Among the remaining OPEC members, Indonesia is worried that revenue
requirements cannot be met without an increase of at least 8 percent. Suharto sent
Sadli to the Mideast to encourage support for such a raise. Nigeria probably favors an
increase but is taking a backseat in the bargaining. Gabon and Ecuador have no
influence over the decision other than to add votes to the majority.
Outlook
OPEC states are still refraining from final commitments to particular price
positions, primarily to smooth the way to a concensus at Caracas. There is an
overriding interest in the prevention of a split. Although the Shah's shift boosts
prospects for a price freeze, Iran will have to stand firm at Caracas if an oil price
increase is to be avoided. (Secret Noforn-Nocontract-Orcon)
MIDDLE EAST: REFINING AND PETROCHEMICAL EXPANSION
The prospect of refined and petrochemical products from Middle East countries
flooding world markets has greatly receded over the past three years. Ambitious plans
for export-oriented industries formulated after the 1973 oil price hikes have been
reevaluated because of cost overruns and construction lags. While expansion of
refining and petrochemical capacity will be substantial during the next five years, it

 Approved For Release 2001/04/11 : CIA-RDP79B00457AO01100020001-9
will nevertheless represent only a little more than one-half of initially planned
objectives. A review of projects in 12 Middle East countries indicates that at a
maximum the region's refining capacity will increase by nearly 3 million b/d between
1976 and 1982, reaching 7 percent of projected world capacity. Petrochemical
capacity will not exceed 4 to 5 percent of the projected world total.
Obstacles to Development
The impetus for moving into broad processing of hydrocarbons came with the
quadrupling of oil prices in 1973/74. Middle East oil producers saw the jump in
revenues as an opportunity to use surplus funds for the acquisition of advanced
technology and to gain further value added from their resources. They also intended
to make productive use of gas associated with crude oil production rather than waste it
by flaring. International companies encouraged these plans, competing to offer
technology and to take part in joint ventures. The projects were appealing to 'Western
companies because they expected the oil producers to offer cheap feedstocks and to
finance a large share of construction.
Perhaps the greatest impediment to these plans, however, was a general failure to
anticipate the problems and costs of rapid industrialization in developing countries. A
good deal of expensive direct supporting facilities such as desalination plants, electric
power, ports, roads, and local repair shops had to be built from scratch. Simultaneous
demand for project designs taxed the relatively few engineering firms qualified to
handle such complex industries. The world inflationary spiral was compounded in the
region by inability to assimilate imports, low labor productivity, and competition for
foreign labor. Under these conditions, construction costs for a given project typically
turned out to be double what a comparable facility would cost in the United States.
All of the Middle East oil states have had second thoughts about their plans to
expand oil refinery and petrochemical capacity. In almost all cases construction plans
have been stretch( d out and in at least some instances planned projects may eventually
be canceled altogether. As a result even revised projections of how much capacity may
come on stream over the next five years are probably on the high side.
Based on crude throughput, new refinery capacity likely to be put in operation
during 1977-82 will amount to at most 2.9 million b/d, including expansion of existing
refineries. Allowing for growth in domestic consumption, export capability of the 12
countries will increase from 1.2 million b/d in 1976 to roughly 3 million b/d in 1982.

Reported construction schedules show a bunching of new capacity in 1979, but some
slippage is probable.
The schedule for 1980-82 is considerably more uncertain. Based on available
information, for example, construction of planned refineries in Abu Dhabi and Dubai
has not even begun. Neither has construction started on two Saudi Arabian refineries
planned for 1982, although site preparation is under way and design contracts have
been let. If completion of these facilities is delayed, total capacity additions would
amount to only around 2 million b/d by 1982.
Most of the Middle East projects include plans for downstream processing plants
that will transform ammonia into fertilizer and ethylene into plastics, artificial fibers,
and synthetic rubber.
As in the case of refinery construction, deviation from targeted schedules is
highly probable, especially in the last two years of the period under review. At a
maximum, some 3.8 million tons of new ammonia capacity will be put on stream,
accompanied by about 2.4 million tons of ethylene. The grandiose Saudi Arabian
development plan calls for five petrochemical complexes, of which it is estimated only
one ammonia and one ethylene facility will actually be completed by 1982.

Assessing the market potential for these new facilities is far more tenuous than for
oil refinery products. In general, the more broadly based economies of Egypt, Iran,
and Iraq will consume all or most of their domestic production. Kuwait, Qatar, and
Saudi Arabia, however, will definitely be looking at export markets for their products.
An examination of projects already under way or in advanced stages of planning
indicates that the region will increase moderately its share of world capacity by 1982.
Using rough forecasts of growth in capacity elsewhere, Middle East refining capacity
under the most optimistic conditions will increase from 4 percent of the world's total
last year to about 6.7 percent in 1982; petrochemicals will make up less than 4 to 5
percent of total capacity.
Looking at the Persian Gulf alone, the impact of capacity growth is even less
pronounced. Assuming that Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries complete 2.1
million b/d of refinery capacity expansion, their share of world capacity will increase
from 3.4 percent in 1976 to 5.2 percent in 1982. Similarly, ammonia capacity will

grow from 1.9 percent to 3.2 percent and ethylene from a negligible amount to 2.4
percent.
Further into the 1980s, this situation could change if all projects currently on the
books are built. Given the problems encountered thus far, however, it appears likely
that the oil producers will adopt a more measured pace of expansion that will extend
completion of their programs into the 1990s.
Pressure on Western Partners
Many of the refinery and petrochemical projects under construction or planned
in OPEC countries involve some capital participation on the part of Western firms. In
several cases, however, foreign companies are going ahead rather reluctantly because
of the high costs and uncertainty over marketing prospects. Capital investment of the
Saudi petrochemical projects, for example, runs to about $1'billion each, double the
cost in the United States. Despite Saudi long-term loans at relatively favorable interest
rates, the foreign partners see little chance of turning out competitively priced
products without heavy government subsidy of feedstocks as well. These subsidies, if
provided, could support "dumping" charges once marketing begins.
Recognizing this problem, the Saudis have been pressuring Japanese firms to
carry through on earlier project commitments, using the promise of long-term
guaranteed crude supplies as an incentive. As early as 1973 a leading Japanese
conglomerate-Mitsubishi Corporation-had proposed building a large integrated
complex to include refining, basic feedstock, and downstream products. To date the
30 November 1977 SECRET

 Approved For Release 2001/04/11 : CIA-RDP79B00457AO01100020001-9
company has not submitted a firm design tender, on grounds that end-products from
Saudi facilities would be in competition with other Mitsubishi-owned production lines
in the Far East. The Saudis are disturbed by Japanese delaying tactics and their
unwillingness to take a larger role in costly Saudi development programs. In the
interim, the Saudis have obtained design tenders from US corporations for two
refining and four petrochemical projects.
A parallel pitch by OPEC as a group may be shaping up to link crude supplies
with the sale of petrochemical products. On two recent occasions, OPEC Secretary
General Ali Jaidah publicly raised this possibility. His theme in essence was that
"security of oil supply can only be real and enduring" if industrial countries
accommodate their markets to import OPEC downstream products. In making these
arguments, the OPEC countries realize that unless expansion plans worldwide are
substantially reduced, refinery and petrochemical plant capacity will exceed world
demand by a wide margin through the early 1980s. (Secret Noforn-Nocontract)
OPEC PARTICIPATION IN DOWNSTREAM PETROLEUM OPERATIONS
Emphasizing an increasingly favorite OPEC theme, OPEC Secretary General Ali
Jaidah recently warned a West German audience that the willingness of Western
Europe to export advanced technology would play an important part in shaping
OPEC's future oil policies.
On Economic Relations
"Planning for future energy needs can only be meaningful if the OPEC area, as
the main exporter of petroleum to Europe, the United States, and Japan, is accepted as
a positive partner and not regarded as a hostile group which ought to be dismantled."
Jaidah asserted "perhaps the consuming countries feel that their obligations are
terminated by payment of the monetary price of OPEC oil and gas. In this
connection., it is my feeling that we should be thinking less in terms of the dollar value
of our oil, and more and more in terms of the material commitment by the consumers
to our transformation.... It is to Western Europe, more than elsewhere, that we look
for economic cooperation, educational training, manpower development, technologi-
cal transfers and social improvement. . . . We believe that Europe, having largely
overcome the debilitating effects of the recent recession, should now feel itself in the
position to make good the promise to carry out meaningful and effective transfer of
appropriate technology in a fairer international division of labor."

Jaidah said OPEC is particularly interested in moving into downstream petrole-
um operations as an initial step in broadening its economic base. The Secretary
General accused Western nations of trying to block OPEC's entrance into these areas,
and resisting competition from OPEC petroleum products in Western markets. "It is
to oil that we naturally look for the means with which our member countries can
diversify their economies.... The first and most natural step in our efforts towards
industrialization is to integrate the oil sectors with the rest of our economies and use
this sector as an engine of structural change ... but there is an alarming unwillingness
[of developed countries] to cooperate in refining and petrochemicals for export
purposes, on a fair and equitable basis. Total OPEC member countries' share in world
refining is only 6 percent-that is, 4.6 million b/d. We are told that there is already a
surplus in refining and petrochemical plants, but we see that several countries in
Europe and elsewhere are building new plants." Jaidah also charged that Europe uses
EC tariffs on oil products, patent restrictions, and other institutional barriers to keep
OPEC out of the market.
OPEC's overriding objective in diversifying is to prepare for the period when oil
exports begin to dwindle. "If all we get for our oil, when it is exhausted, are bank
accounts and a few losing projects, that would be tragic indeed." Jaidah noted that
OPEC states will want to share in the supply of new energy sources, including nuclear
and solar power. OPEC feels that its willingness to deplete its own petroleum resources
now to satisfy world energy requirements entitles its members to access to the
technology for energy alternatives in the future.
Jaidah made it clear that OPEC intends to use its oil leverage to achieve its
economic and technological goals. "On our side, we have to reflect upon our strategies
regarding supply and prices of oil."
On Oil Prices and Supply
Jaidah argued "the price of oil ought to be measured by the degree of
development and diversification in our economies and the acceptance by the
consumers of non-oil exports from our countries," The consuming countries need to
accept "a view of prices which is rational and designed to achieve optimal allocation
of exhaustible energy resources."
Jaidah complained that while "we recognize the need for stable supplies within a
commercial context ... security of supply seems to be taken for granted by consuming
countries without any real collateral." He called for "some real efforts for change.
Security of oil supply can only be real and enduring if consumers succeed in making

our economies dependent on them as suppliers for development goods and eventually
markets for our non-oil exports. Interdependence is the only guarantee of real security
of supply in both directions.... But unless we reach a fairer international division of

Jaidah was confident that OPEC's leverage will continue to increase as petroleum
supplies tighten. He warned that despite the availability of North Sea and Alaskan
crude, "the next two or three years will not witness a decline in demand for OPEC oil.
The most likely eventuality is that a global shortage will be slightly delayed and some
OPEC countries will be relieved from the pressure to produce at levels higher than
their needs warrant." Jaidah foresees an "ever-increasing gap in world energy demand
from its presently known reserves" after the next four or five years, which he feels
OPEC should not be expected to fill. "Our own estimates show that existing reserves,
plus likely additional reserves, might enable us to reach production levels which are
not very much in excess of 40 million b/d." (Current production capacity is 37.5
million b/d.) According to Jaidah, the intervening "breathing space" should be a time
of close cooperation between consuming and producing nations in planning for future
energy needs, and in financing and researching additional energy resources, both
petroleum and non-petroleum. (Unclassified)
OIL RESERVES OF EXPORTING COUNTRIES
AND THE TIME HORIZON OF THEIR DEPLETION
The OPEC Secretariat is examining optimum strategies for rationally produc-
ing the oil reserves of its member countries to maximize the ultimate volume of oil
recovery. Many oil exporting countries are becoming increasingly reluctant to
expand daily productive capacity to its full potential if this development jeopardizes
maximum recovery. Reproduced below is an article that appeared in the OAPEC
Quarterly Journal Oil and Arab Cooperation (Fall 1977) addressing this issue. The
author Adnan Janabi is a senior economic analyst in OPEC and the former director
in the Economic Department of the Iraqi Petroleum Ministry.
Interest has grown in the problem of the depletion of resources in general and
that of oil resources in particular. Despite this wide-ranging interest, an important gap
has been left unfilled in the theoretical frameworks presented by the science of
economics.
The past policies of the major oil companies on production cannot be considered
as optimal for several reasons, mainly because the companies' income from a unit of

 Approved For Release 2001/04/11 : CIA-RDP79B00457A001100020001-9
production was fairly steadly while their discount rate for time in most producing
countries was very high; thus their preference was always for early depletion.
Producing countries have been playing an increasing role in production decisions.
Despite this new situation, exporting countries still generally tend to respond to
demand rather than act upon it. Price decisions are not geared to influence total
consumption. The most important determinant of depletion policies in exporting
countries can therefore be traced back to the level of economic activity in consuming
countries.
The depletion of oil reserves is governed by rates of production of what are called
"proven reserves." In the final analysis, the critical factor for the examination of the
depletion of reserves is not presently known reserves but "probable reserves," reserves
that are ultimately recoverable. Improved recovery techniques and new discoveries
are bound to increase presently "proven reserves" over time.
Efficient production policies must not allow the physical waste which results
from excessively speedy depletion. Maximum Efficient Recovery (MER) determines
the upper limit of any rational depletion policy.
Empirical examination of the production policies of oil-exporting countries shows
that they fall into two broad groups. The first group have little or no opportunity to
increase their production beyond present levels if MER curves are to be respected.
The second group still have the potential to tailor their production policies according
to their future requirements and considerations relating to conservation. Needless to
say, increased reserves would extend the life span of production plotted in the present
paper. But such extensions should be viewed as a contribution to the supply of future
needs, not as an opportunity to increase production rates.
Venezuela has already decided to bring down its production from 3.8 million b/d
in 1970 to around 2 million b/d. This reduction may be viewed as having been forced
by circumstances rather than as a preconceived depletion strategy. On the other hand,
Kuwait's decision to produce a maximum of about 3 million b/d (while producing far
less in practice) is a clear indication of a depletion policy based on considerations other
than imminent natural decline. Since 1970, a combination of reasons has prompted
Libya to bring down its production level, putting an end to unsound production
practices of the companies, and going further to institute some action to prolong the
life span of its reserves.
Venezuela, Indonesia, Algeria, Nigeria, and Iran are faced with two problems as a
result of past production policies. First, they cannot increase their present production
levels without doing damage to the life span of their reserves. Second, problems might
arise in the long run in satisfying their indigenous energy requirements. Iraq, Saudi

Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Libya, and Kuwait still have the opportunity to shape their
production policies, in varying degrees, to take into account their future requirements
and to evolve conservation strategies in the light of their national interests.
The time horizon of the depletion of oil resources of the exporting countries is not
very long, and would be shortened further by the absence of long-term depletion
strategies. Some of the oil-exporting countries may face a crisis in meeting their
internal energy requirements before long.
It is evident that the pursuit of rational production policies necessitates reduced
or stabilized production levels in all the cases mentioned, although upward pressure on
prices would naturally be created. Regarding the time horizon of depletion, however,
the development would be welcome, for it would enable the exporting countries to
raise their income without resorting to increased production rates. (Unclassified)
SOVIETS MOVE TOWARD TERTIARY OIL RECOVERY
The USSR is taking steps to activate a high-priority program of enhanced
recovery to increase oil yields from older fields. In early November the Soviets signed
a $24.5 million contract with an Italian firm, Pressindustria, to build the world's
largestplant for producing nonionic surfactants from ethylene-oxide for use in tertiary
oil recovery. This plant, which may be built in West Siberia, will have an annual
output of 250,000 tons of surfactant but probably will not be on stream before the
early 1980s.
Because of the lack of exploration success in recent years and the high cost and
difficulty of developing oil reserves in remote regions, the USSR plans to use enhanced
recovery techniques intensively to recover an additional 10 to 12 percent of the
original oil in place from fields currently in production or under development. The
Soviets have only limited experience with most enhanced recovery techniques other
than waterflooding, although they have tried every major secondary and tertiary
recovery method on an experimental or pilot basis in at least one oil field. A
commercial-scale effort has been stalled by persistent shortages of the necessary
chemicals, equipment, and trained personnel.
During the past year the Soviets have made several attempts to obtain technology
and equipment from the West for enhanced oil recovery projects. In addition to the
surfactant plant from Italy, they have discussed the purchase of a 45,000-nietric-
ton/year surfactant plant with a West German firm. This plant would be installed in
the Urals and would be used to support surfactant flooding projects in that area. The

 Approved For Release 2001/04/11 : CIA-RDP79B00457A001100020001-9
Soviets also have attempted to obtain US licensing rights to a process for producing
petroleum-based feedstocks for surfactants; negotiations for a plant using this process
are under way with a West German firm. The USSR is also discussing the installation
of two carbon dioxide (CO2) plants with West German and UK companies. These
plants, with combined capacities of about 2.5 million tons per year, would be used for
miscible flooding projects.
Using surfactants to enhance oil recovery is expensive and time consuming and
will not yield the volumes of oil required to solve the long-term problems that we
foresee in the Soviet oil industry. For example, use of 250,000 tons of surfactants in a
tertiary recovery operation could yield an additional 63,000 b/d to 215,000 b/d of oil,
depending on the amount of surfactant required for the individual reservoir.
Including only the amortization costs of the plant to produce the surfactants, each
barrel of oil recovered would cost from $4 to $14.
Technology Note
Micellar flooding, also known as surfactant flooding or microemulsion flooding, is
one of several enhanced oil recovery techniques to get more oil out of reservoirs than
can be obtained by conventional primary and secondary methods. In this technique, a
two-step process is normally used to yield more oil. First, a slug of surfactant
(petroleum sulfonate) and an alcohol (cosurfactant) is injected to lower interfacial
tension. Next comes a large slug of water containing a high molecular weight polymer.
This water-polymer slug pushes the chemicals through the field and improves
mobility and sweep efficiency.
Each reservoir has unique properties and the amount and the type of polymer,
surfactant, and alcohol used for the micellar slug will vary depending on the specific
properties of the fluid and rock involved. The amount of chemicals for the surfactant
slug alone can range from 3 to 11 kilograms per barrel of oil recovered. The polymer-
water slug could take from 0.2 to 0.5 kilograms of polymer, depending on the
reservoir characteristics. (Confidential)
ISRAELIS FIND OIL IN GULF OF SUEZ
Announcement of a promising oil discovery about 30 kilometers southeast of At
Tur along the eastern shore of the Gulf of Suez was made on 25 November 1977. An
Israeli drilling rig has been working in this area for almost a year without any
apparent success until last week. The new well is reported to be flowing at about 2,000
to 4,500 b/d from 1,680-meter depths.

The encouraging production test and the depth suggest that the Israelis may have
tapped a commercial oil deposit. Although it is premature to speculate on the size of
the reserves, high-quality offshore reservoirs have been found by the Egyptians at El
Morgan, July, and Ramadan about 50 kilometers to the northwest. More delineation
drilling and production testing will be required before development plans unfold. The
Israeli find will almost certainly encourage Egypt's interest in a peace settlement that
would allow drilling in 16 or so additional structures on the Israeli side of the median
line in the Gulf of Suez. (Confidential)
OPEC OIL EARNINGS: IMPACT OF EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATIONS
At this time, we do not think OPEC will switch from US dollar-denominated oil
prices. The decline in the value of the dollar since the last OPEC meeting in
December 1976 has again raised concern among OPEC countries over the declining
real value of their oil earnings, which are denominated in dollars. Deliberations at the
upcoming December meeting in Caracas will be influenced by this issue, but most
OPEC members realize that pricing oil in dollars continues to work to their advantage.
The OPEC Economic Commission Board has calculated that losses due to the
declining value of the dollar in the last year have been minimal; the oil ministers are
unlikely to move to a new unit of oil pricing in the near future.
From time to time various OPEC members have questioned pricing oil in dollars,
sometimes advocating pricing in IMF Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) or some other
basket of currencies. We used three methods to measure whether OPEC members
have gained or lost from the dollar pricing of oil: by comparing the dollar's value
relative to (a) the SDR, (b) a group of major currencies weighted by the value of
OPEC imports from each country, and (c) the same group of major currencies
weighted by the value of OPEC imports and foreign investments in each currency.
SDR Pricing
According to press reports, OPEC concern over erosion of real export earnings
has rekindled interest in alternative oil pricing schemes. For example, Shaykh Ali
Khalifa, Under Secretary to the Kuwaiti Acting Oil Minister, recently discussed
preserving the real value of oil earnings by setting oil prices in SDRs. OPEC members
have not discussed any specific alternative basket of currencies besides the SDR group.
Since members have different trading patterns with the major developed countries,
they would have difficulty agreeing on another currency mix.

The dollar has declined 1.4 percent against the SDR since the end of 1976, when
most OPEC members last raised oil prices. Despite this decline, the value of the US
dollar relative to the SDR is still nearly 3 percent above its 1973 level. Based on the
dollar-SDR parity of 1973, the dollar fell below its base period level only between
December 1974 and July 1975.
Over the last four years, OPEC revenues from dollar oil prices have far exceeded
the potential revenues that would have been generated through an SDR pricing
system. Since mid-1974, when the dollar began to float against the SDR, cumulative
dollar revenues have been more than $10 billion above the amount that would have
been received under an SDR pricing scheme.
Exchange Rate Movements
Following the abandonment of the fixed exchange rate system in March 1973,
the value of major currencies has been determined largely by market forces. In terms

 Approved For Release 2001/04/11 : CIA-RDP79B00457AO01100020001-9
of dollars, OPEC countries pay higher real prices for goods imported from countries
whose currencies appreciate against the dollar and pay lower real prices for imports
from countries with depreciating currencies. Exchange rate movements have no effect
on OPEC imports from the United States, which are also in dollars. Since December
1976, appreciation of the yen, pound, and mark has increased the real price of imports
from Japan, the United Kingdom, and West Germany to OPEC members in terms of
their dollar-denominated exports. On the other hand, the real prices of imports from
Australia, Canada, Denmark, Norway, Spain, and Sweden have fallen because their
currencies have lost value relative to the US dollar.
The Purchasing Power of OPEC Oil Earnings
In 1977 the rapid appreciation of the yen and the continuing strength of the
West German mark lowered the purchasing power index for the dollar, as weighted
by OPEC imports, by about 3.5 percent. Nonetheless, at the end of October, the index
stood at 3 percent above the March 1973 level. * By the end of 1976 the dollar
purchasing power index had risen by nearly 7 percent over its March 1973 level, Since
oil prices quadrupled in 1973/1974, dollar-denominated oil prices have generated a
purchasing power gain for OPEC countries, except for the first six months of 1975.

*The purchasing power index of dollar revenues received by OPEC countries is a geometric average of the indexes for
the currencies of 17 major industrial nations relative to the US dollar, weighted by 1976 OPEC imports from the
group. The nations are Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway,
South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States, and West Germany. These countries supply
more than 80 percent of OPEC imports.

The purchasing power index of dollar revenues weighted by OPEC trade and
foreign investment flows for 1976 shows less variation resulting from exchange rate
movements; this is attributable to the predominance of dollar-denominated financial
assets in the OPEC investment portfolio. From total export earnings of $123 billion in
1976, OPEC spent 77 percent on imports of goods and services and the remainder on
foreign-currency-denominated assets. This year, the trade and asset weighted index
has fallen 3 percent, slightly less than the index weighted by trade alone. At the end of
October, the trade and asset weighted index stood 2 percent above its March 1973
level.
Prospects
The OPEC oil ministers meeting scheduled for 20 December will focus on the
issue of changing the price of oil. There is little indication that the ministers will
seriously consider switching from dollar-denominated oil prices. Even though reports
indicate that Kuwait has informed Saudi Arabia of a growing concern over the erosion
of real income from currency movements, the impact of world inflation on OPEC
earnings still appears to be the primary monetary issue.
The practice of basing oil prices in dollars will probably continue to prove
superior to SDR pricing, from the OPEC point of view. Whenever the dollar weakens
against other major currencies, however, the issue will reappear. (Confidential)

A Note on Petroleum Reserves
Any estimate of oil and natural gas reserves must be treated as rough approxima-
tion. Few countries publish official reserve estimates, and there is no consistent
rigorous definition of reserves. Moreover, the volume of oil and/or gas in place, even
in a well-delineated field, can never be precisely accurate; estimates of commercially
recoverable oil and natural gas are usually made not by reference to existing
technology but by reference to the production system currently in use, and even this
can provide only an approximation. Assessments of proved reserves therefore do not
mean absolute world availability; they are only an indication of the quantity of oil that
is technically and economically feasible to extract with current techniques at current
prices.
CIA's reserve figures are for proved and probable reserves and are based on the
best available published information and on our own judgemental analysis in cases
where we have unique information. CIA uses the restrictive definition of probable
reserves (as differentiated from possible reserves) common in the industry. Our proved
and probable figure does not differ greatly from the proved figure in many cases, such
as Venezuela, Iran, and Libya. In these countries, extensive exploration has taken
place and extentions of known fields are considered unlikely. In other cases-such as
Saudi Arabia, Mexico, and the United Kingdom-differences between proved and
proved and probable reserves are considerably larger.
