Challenges of the Sri Lanka’s Petroleum Industry
Global Scenario
Consumption
• Global : 90/mb/day (2011)
• OECD : 50% (appox)
• North America: 24%
Production
• OPEC: 37%
North America: 15%
• Russia: 11%
Saudi Arabia: 10%
3
Challenges of the Sri Lanka’s Petroleum Industry
• Petroleum product prices: increasing trend
• Short term demand: price inelastic
• Current scenario:- Weaker demand in EU
- Supply side uncertainties
- Additional supplies
- Downward stock adjustment

Challenges of the Sri Lanka’s Petroleum Industry
Sri Lanka’s Petroleum Industry
• Import dependent petroleum consumer
• Prior to nationalization: oligopoly of imports/distribution
• 1961 - creation of state monopoly
• 2003 - end of state monopoly and creation of duopoly (CPC
and LIOC)
• Island-wide presence
• Many players in several petroleum product markets:
bunkering, lubricants
• Case for regulating the market: products quality, services
quality maintenance and enforcement
• Employment 600-700 (1970s); now 6000-7000

Challenges of the Sri Lanka’s Petroleum Industry
•
PG was a private monopoly, nationalized and
again privatized
•
Presently a duopoly market - Litro (govt.); Lauhfs
(private)
•
Both are import dependent to a larger extent

Challenges of the Sri Lanka’s Petroleum Industry
Demand, Supply and Challenges
• Importer of refined products: beginning till late 1960s
• Only refinery commissioned in 1969
• Refinery met the country requirement in total for about a
decade
• Since then a larger part of key products/total demand for
kerosene from the refinery
• Currently about third of the country requirements met from the
refinery
10
Challenges of the Sri Lanka’s Petroleum Industry
• Rising domestic demand: petrol, diesel, fuel oil
• Fuel oil demand: depends on the rain- inverse
relationship
• Declining demand: kerosene

Challenges of the Sri Lanka’s Petroleum Industry
• Rapidly rising overall demand
• Petroleum accounts for 24% of import bill and 45% of exports
(2011)
• Demand doubled during last three years (in value terms)
• More on refined products
• More resources required for imports in absolute and relative
terms in the future

Challenges of the Sri Lanka’s Petroleum Industry
• Sri Lanka: price taker, import quantity being very small
• Periodic price revisions from 2005: upward/downward
- international price trends
- subsidy levels for each product
- CPC’s financial status etc.

Import Prices Vs. Domestic Market Prices

Challenges of the Sri Lanka’s Petroleum Industry
• State control in pricing during the monopoly era
• Price revision by LIOC on its own or LIOC can follow the
government program of revision
• As the largest share of market is with CPC, major price
changes by the competitor becomes ineffective

Challenges of the Sri Lanka’s Petroleum Industry
• Increased power supplies to be met from oil based electricity
generation : 2010 - Gwh 10714 of which thermal: 46.7%
2011 - Gwh 11528 of which thermal: 49.9%
• Fuel oil is also subsidized, affecting CPC financial status
• Electricity consumption is subsidized and also regulated
(average unit cost: Rs 15.59 against selling price of Rs. 13.22)
• Stable electricity supply

• Refinery provided: entire requirement in 1970s
• 1990s: about one half met from refinery
• 2010: about 35 met from the refinery
• Increasing demand met from imported refined products
(on expenditure basis)
• Change due to: fixed processing capacity and increased
demand

Challenges of the Sri Lanka’s Petroleum Industry
Refinery’s technological limitations:
- built in 1960s
- can accommodate limited crude types
- low yield and value addition
26
Challenges of the Sri Lanka’s Petroleum Industry
• Current tension in the Middle East/supply uncertainties
gulf region:
20% of global petroleum exports
30% LNG exports
• Diversification of sources of supply
- crude oil (technological issues)
