Crude Oil Procurement Intelligence

In this crude oil procurement intelligence report, we have estimated the pricing of the key cost components. Labor, and material & equipment form the largest cost component of the crude oil businesses. Together, they account for about 60% of the total cost. The cost also depends on the type of infrastructure built, the transportation method used, regional taxes levied, insurance, and the maintenance required for the production of crude oil. 

For example, Oil field development necessitates substantial investments, with development expenses ranging from 40% to 60% of the entire project cost. Costs are greatly influenced by key characteristics such as field scenario, target depth, and ocean-meteorological variables. The cost ranges from USD 7 to USD 15 per boe (barrel oil equivalent), with more complicated fields needing greater prices. It is critical for project profitability and project definition to identify and evaluate these parameters. The cost of a horizontal well is 20% to 30% greater than that of a vertical well, but well productivity is improved by a ratio of three. Environmental restrictions might also affect well costs.

Rate Benchmarking

The demand and production levels set by OPEC nations are important factors in analyzing rate benchmarking in the crude oil category. The spot price of crude oil has been volatile in recent years, with significant swings up and down. The highest price was in July 2022, when it reached USD 105.08 per barrel. The lowest price was in April 2020, when it reached USD 21.04 per barrel. 

The data shows that the price of crude oil has been on a downward trend since 2014. In Canada, average price per barrel of crude oil in 2022 was USD 118.46 compared to USD 80.21 per barrel in 2021. In Russia, prices of crude oil in January 2022 were at USD 85.19 per barrel up from USD 54.73 per barrel in January 2021. However, due to sanctions imposed on Russia following its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, prices of Russian crude oil dropped from USD 91.85 at the beginning of the war to USD 56.10 in February 2023.
