Golden Opportunity or a Step too Far?

The potential returns in the downstream oil sector in SE Asia make the region of considerable interest both to current market participants and potential new entrants. However, investing in the downstream sector in this region is not without its challenges. Gaining an expert and independent view on the characteristics of these markets and how they are likely to develop is a pre-requisite for any company wishing to invest in the region.

Wood Mackenzie is proposing a new study Golden Opportunity or a Step too Far? covering the structure and development of some of the key growth downstream oil markets in the region: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. The study will analyse the refineries operating within these countries and will also assess the national retail fuel markets, with an in-depth analysis of the market prospects in each country.

The study will answer the following questions:

  • What is the outlook for oil product demand growth in the key S.E. Asian markets and which are the main growth products?
  • What are the future supply/demand balances in each country and what are their implications?
  • What, if any, are the barriers to entry, and are they likely to be lifted in future?
  • Where does the value lie in the downstream supply chain and what are the key success factors when competing in S.E. Asian downstream markets?
  • What are the key market drivers and to what extent are these likely to result in an acceptable return on capital invested in the six S.E. Asian markets?

This study will be of value to a number of industry players, in particular:

  • Companies already present in the S.E. Asian markets looking for an independent view on the downstream industry in the region
  • International oil companies looking to screen the market for investment opportunities
  • Regionally based national oil companies considering geographic expansion into neighbouring markets
  • Financial institutions looking to directly invest in the downstream market or to evaluate potential investment opportunities on behalf of their clientele
  • Governmental bodies and petroleum associations
