The Bulgarian business environment remains challenging, suffering from high levels of corruption and inefficiency, while a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing remains in place. Bulgaria's oil sector is uninspiring with limited new activity and a continued decline in domestic production. Upside in Bulgaria's oil and gas sector comes from the US$1.2bn investment to upgrade the Neftochim refinery which will add a 50,000 barrel per day vacuum distillation unit, and from the natural gas sector which is looking increasingly positive. New gas projects being brought online both on and offshore will add to domestic output, as well as growing prospects from offshore seismic projects.

With a moratorium on shale gas exploration, the Czech Republic will remain highly dependent on imported fuel, as conventional hydrocarbons potential is limited. Demand trends are not strong, but refinery disruptions and the closure of the Pardubice refinery show that the domestic fuels market is in a precarious state of balance. This, in turn, has prompted the government to investigate ownership options for the national refining segment, with Shell having sold its 16.33% stake in Ceska Rafinerska to Unipetrol in January 2014.

Although Italy is thought to retain moderate untapped hydrocarbons potential, bureaucratic and regulatory challenges are set to hamper previously outlined goals to reduce the country's hefty import burden. Despite the start of production from the Tempa Rosa field from 2017, we see only limited upside risk to our production forecast from current exploration and production efforts. While we expect increased reliance on liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports as new infrastructure comes online, we are not yet assuming all planned terminals will go ahead, given delays to other plans. We also see risks that Italy's sizable downstream sector will see further downsizing as the sector struggles under the pressure of persistently low margins.

While China's power sector continues to be in a league of its own, storm clouds are gathering on the horizon. According to BMI's Country Risk analysts, the Chinese economy is likely to slow down further over the coming months. Although newfound reform momentum holds the potential to help the economy grow out from under its credit excesses, we continue to believe that the hangover effects of China's economic stimulus are yet to be felt, and cooling credit growth is likely to reveal these effects over the coming quarters. This considered, a slowdown in power demand appears to be on the cards. Meanwhile, the country is trying to ease its reliance on coal, focusing on cleaner forms of power generation. However, we still expect coal-fired capacity to grow in real terms and dominate the energy mix to the end of our forecast period.

Since the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster and the 2012 presidential elections, French dependence on nuclear energy has been under the spotlight and has been set to be diluted in favour of renewables. While the country's current energy policy is unclear at the moment, President Francois Hollande's pledge to reduce the country's reliance on nuclear energy from 75% to 50% by 2025 could very well make room for greater gas-fired power generation in the coming years. Indeed, should a nuclear reduction occur (even in a smaller amount than targeted), the compensation for lost capacity would see an increase in renewable energy, gas and/or coal fired power generation. Given France's minimal domestic gas production and that shale gas exploration and production in unlikely within our forecast period, increased gas consumption would see rising gas imports. However, given the strong influence of the nuclear lobby in France, the future of energy growth is uncertain. The outlook for refiners and fuel distributors remains poor.

Rising pre-paid card usage is attributed to growth of online shopping and the exclusion of large parts of the population from the banking system. Such consumers are forced to use a pre-paid card to make online and offline purchases. Total online sales in 2012 were estimated at EUR2.9 billion, recording a spectacular 61% increase compared with 2011. In addition, online consumers made on average 20 transactions during 2012 (up from 15 in 2011), with value per capita amounting to EUR1,600 (+33% versus...

Q2 2014 should see some significant changes in the Indian oil and gas sector. Firstly, the government set gas price will double to US$8.4/mnBTU on April 1 creating greater incentive to invest in more costly and technically challenging gas resources. This will be supported by the opening of the NELP X licensing round, where India is due to offer 46 new blocks allowing companies to prospect for all types of hydrocarbon resources, including shale. However, also introduced for NELP X will be a change from profit sharing contracts to revenue sharing contracts. We believe this could dissuade interest from a number of major international oil companies, particularly at more technically challenging developments.

Canada is one of the world’s biggest oil reserves in the world, next to the world’s first – Saudi Arabia. Alberta is a province located in western Canada, which is rich with a beautiful environment, plentiful natural resources, a strong economy, and a stable political system. There is an estimated 1.7 to 2.5 trillion barrels of bitumen in Alberta’s oil sands. Current production rates project that resources from Alberta’s oils sands could provide Canada’s energy needs for more than 500 years. This is equivalent to the world’s needs for up to 15 years.

With the long-awaited UK Energy Bill having entered into law, the coalition government is clearly hoping that it will provide a stable regulatory framework that will ultimately unlock GBP110bn of investment in the country's stalling power sector. While the bill has been criticised for being overly-complex and opaque, such investment is certainly needed at a time when thermal capacity is being shuttered at a rapid pace in order to comply with EU emissions criteria. Critically this capacity has not been replaced as utilities have been deterred from investing because of the questionable economics of gas-fired generation, at the same time as the issue of rising electricity prices has been used as a 'political football' by the main political parties - something that is likely to continue in the run up to the 2015 general election. While we have seen some promising activity in the nuclear segment, we note that proposed nuclear reactors will come online too late to replace shuttered thermal facilities - stoking fears of a capacity deficit in 2015 and 2016.
