Rising fossil fuel prices are driving energy industry revenue growth
Commodity fuels’ prices were on a steady rise throughout 2021, outperforming the levels recorded in the pre-
pandemic 2019. The price inflation was a result of tight supply in the face of recovering demand, after COVID-

19-related refinery closures led to limited capacities to meet a sudden surge in fuel consumption, drilling
activities slowed down and investments stagnated.
Crude oil prices nearly doubled in 2021 in annual basis as the world faces significant supply and demand
imbalance. The rebounding consumption during the year caused product inventories to fall to multi-year lows
by the end of 2021, while the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) continued to limit its
Oil Price (Brent & WTI) production output, sustaining the elevated price levels.
Oil prices have seen a further rise over the first quarter of 2022, as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine caused
concerns for oil supply shortages and trade dislocations as sanctions are being imposed against the aggressor.
Natural gas prices were five times higher in Europe and doubled in the US in 2021 compared to the year
before as a result of supply concerns. Natural gas production slowed during the pandemic, leading to

Saudi Arabia continues to invest in Asian market refining to secure future crude oil buyers
Saudi Arabia’s energy industry recorded a highly favourable year in 2021, boosted by increasing oil prices and
Aramco to continue stronger refining margins. Saudi Aramco, the largest crude oil and natural gas and refined petroleum producer
investing in expanding in the country, has reported more than doubling its net income in 2021 on a year-on-year basis, reaching
production, however USD110 billion. The company is also looking to further raise upstream capacities over the upcoming decade,
with an environmental namely to reach 13 million bpd of crude oil maximum sustainable capacity by 2027 and increase its gas
twist production by more than 50% by 2030. Nevertheless, the investments are also to be directed at expanding
the carbon capture and storage systems and renewable energy, as Aramco is targeting near-zero upstream
methane emissions by 2030.
The high economic dependency on oil export revenues are driving Saudi Arabia’s investment in refining plants
in key consumption markets with rising populations and economic growth, such as India and China. The

Aramco also signed a memorandum of understanding with China’s Sinopec for potential collaboration in
downstream projects.

In 2021, the energy industry benefited from favourable development of fossil fuel prices and recovering global

Despite high prices, South Korea increases crude oil purchases to meet export demand

country the country, is aiming to increase eco-friendly business from 30% to 70% by 2025 and reduce its carbon
footprint. The company also plans to phase out its investments into mainstream oil refining, instead focusing
on petrochemicals production, anticipating the decline in road fuel such as diesel or petrol demand over the
long term.
The country has a well-developed export network, which provided a major boost to the industry’s revenue

for road fuels as well as boosted production prices. The main export partners in 2021 were Japan, the US and
Exports to drive growth Singapore. In 2022, global crude oil supply is tight, leading to elevated feedstock prices for Korean refineries,

local refiners processed nearly 9% more crude oil in February 2022 on a year-on-year basis.
