The Philippines is set to see growth in both oil and gas consumption, on the back of economic growth, and the government's promotion of gas use . This will be supported by rising imports rather than greater domestic output, though exploration poses upside production risks towards the tail-end of our forecast period. Infrastructure availability poses the biggest upside risk to our forecast. The need to build up its gas infrastructure considerably provides a market opportunity for the midstream segment, subject to the eradication of government roadblocks .

The Romanian petrochemicals industry is set to see better prospects in 2014 as export-oriented industries exhibit stronger growth. However, BMI's latest Romania Petrochemicals Report states that the key issue for the sector remains the future of Oltchim, the troubled chemicals manufacturer that the government hopes to privatise this year.

Saudi Arabia does not operate its own nuclear power plants and market value stood at a mere SR0.6 million in 2012. Even though there are some uranium deposits in Saudi Arabia, all processed nuclear fuel is imported, as the country lacks the technological know-how for nuclear fuel processing. The future of the market is promising, as Saudi Arabia plans to invest SR300 billion in nuclear power plants by 2030. However market is expected to remain small over forecast period, as first nuclear reactor is set to launch in 2022.

The outlook for Angola's oil and gas sector is positive. Although technical challenges led to production issues in 2013, we expect the start of major upstream projects such as Total's CLOV to boost push output higher by end-2014. Over the next decade, planned projects and the tie-back of additional discoveries to existing infrastructure will support strong growth in output over the course of our forecast period. However, we see risks that technical setbacks, industry wide pressure to cut costs, and potential regulatory issues could result in delays to anticipated volumes. An upcoming offshore licensing round and progress on resuming normal operations at the Angola LNG underscore the opportunities in the sector.

Denmark is likely to remain an oil and gas net exporter over our forecast period, despite production decline. The government is confident the country will sustain its position as a net exporter of oil and gas until the end of the decade. We expect a partial recovery in oil and gas volumes over the medium term. However, we forecast th at overall production will decline in the long term and that exports will become increasingly thin by the end of our forecast period . Should production surprise to the downside, or consumption to the upside, the country could see itself becoming a net oil and/or gas importer by the end of our forecast period.

When properties and buildings rely on oil tanks for heat, it is important to make sure the unit is performing at the highest level. As tanks increase in age, maintenance is critical. With underground tanks, the buildup of sludge, rust, and normal wear can damage the tank, leading to problems with the pipe lines. This summer, Professional Tank & Environmental is announcing their services for replacing underground oil tanks in Bucks County.

We have grown increasingly bullish on Argentina's upstream this quarter. Formal resolution to the Repsol-YPF dispute has removed a major barrier to international oil companies looking to enter the Argentine oil and gas sector. Increased investment and a growing exploration drive point to a marked improvement in investor sentiment, and we expect this trend to continue in the coming quarters.

BMI View: Upstream interest in Turkmenistan's growing gas reserves remains strong, with foreign players, particularly China, eager to gain access to the country's lucrative gas fields. The energy relationship between Turkmenistan and China continues to strengthen, with continued upgrades to existing long-term supply agreements and investment commitments. Turkmenistan has made ambitious gas production targets, raising its own forecasts of gas production in 2030 to 250 bn cubic metres ( bcm ) from 230bcm previously. Although 2030 is outside our forecast period, the ambitious figures highlight the country's optimism, which is reflected in our forecasts for gas production , which we expect will more than double from 7 6.1 bcm in 201 3 to 186 bcm in 202 3 .

Robust international interest in Croatia's recently opened licensing rounds underscores the improved outlook for the market. Increased offshore exploration activity holds upside risks to our outlook for both reserve s and production. However this upside risk will only begin to factor in toward the tail-end of our forecast period. Although offshore blocks appear to be prospective for both oil and gas, we cannot yet factor in any upside to our current forecast scenario. Therefore our core scenario is for continued decline in both oil and gas production, leaving Croatia with a higher import bill as domestic output continues to fall short of demand. We also note an uncertain outlook for the downstream sector with some reports that at least one or both of the country ' s two refineries may be closed by 2018, if not earlier, due to a lack of competiveness.

The Qatari petrochemicals industry has so far focused on high-volume production of basic chemicals. Recent developments show that the country is striving to add value to output with greater diversification in downstream segments. The move towards a well-integrated downstream value chain will increase the proportion of domestic use and consumption of locally produced petrochemicals. This should provide some cushion to the impact of increasing competition from US and Asian producers, which are set to ramp up capacities.

The availability of naphtha in the UAE will be boosted by refinery expansion at Ruwais, helping to retain the Emirati industry's competitive edge and enabling it to produce a wider range of products, according to BMI's latest. The 400,000 barrels per day (b/d) Ruwais refinery is undergoing an expansion scheduled to be fully operational in 2014.

BMI View: Peru is advancing its ambitious power sector expansion plans as demand for electricity continues to grow rapidly - driven by the needs of the country 's energy-intensive mining industr y and healthy growth in consumer demand . While our macroeconomic outlook for Peru remains below consensus based on our bearish stance on global metals prices, which is in turn a consequence of our below-consensus view on economic growth in China, we maintain that th e country's econom y remain s one of the most dynamic in Latin America. By extension , we forecast that Peru will register robust growth across all segments of its power sector thanks to continue d efforts to mine and export its significant mineral wealth. We also note that the government is eager to stimulate invest ment in power infrastructure, and is working hard to generate interest in a host of attractive investment opportunities .

Growth in electricity generation and consumption in Poland will remain relatively subdued over our forecast period, although both the economy and wholesale electricity prices look to be rebounding very gradually following a slump in H113. As sentiment improves in line with economic fundamentals, delayed capacity expansion ventures may start to move along the project pipeline and there will be a greater emphasis on new nuclear and renewable capacity as well as shale gas exploitation.

BMI View: The first LNG deliveries from Papua New Guinea's ExxonMobil-led PNG LNG facility, the country's first gas export project, are expected ahead of schedule in July 2014. There continues to be new proposals for LNG exports, including Total's monetisation plans for the Elk/Antelope fields and a possible floating LNG development by Osaka Gas. Gas projects will also offer some relief to a decline in liquids output, condensate from the PNG LNG project will give oil production a temporary boost.
