Government sees banner year for upstream oil industry

The Department of Energy expects a banner year for the upstream oil industry as the existing petroleum service contract holders have committed to drill a record 10 to 12 oil and gas exploration wells for 2012 alone, according to Energy Undersecretary Jose M. Layug Jr.

“We have seen an upturn in investments in the Philippine upstream petroleum industry this year as a result of the current high oil price market condition and the efforts of the DOE to revitalize the industry,” Usec. Layug noted.

“We have launched the Philippine Energy Contracting Round 4 (PECR 4) for petroleum last year and formed the Philippine Upstream Petroleum Task Force under Executive Order No. 60. The Aquino administration, through the DOE, has focused on resource development as a long-term plan of action in the hopes of finding indigenous oil and gas resources to reduce our dependence on imported petroleum and mitigate the effects of oil price volatility,” he further explained.

The PECR 4, which was launched last June 30, 2011, is envisioned to address the Philippines’ energy supply through the exploration of local indigenous resources. Harnessing local resources is expected to help the country meet its daily demand and reduce the importation of petroleum and petroleum products.

According to the DOE, it expected at least $7.5 billion worth of initial investments to be infused in the local oil and gas sector over the next several years if all the 15 contracts were to be awarded to investors.
