  • A Leader in the Oil & Gas Industry
    KPMG GLOBAL ENERGY INSTITUTE A leader in the Oil & Gas industry kpmg.com/energy KPMG INTERNATIONAL 2 A leader in the Oil & Gas industry Sourcing the demand for energy. Keeping pace with change. Change is a constant factor in the Oil & Gas industry. The next few years may represent a tipping point, based on increased demand for energy, the growing presence of Asian markets and the gradual shift from traditional to alternative energy sources. Africa will be seen to play an ever more important role as a ready source of Oil & Gas for Western and Asian markets. Oil & Gas remains one of the world’s largest industries. In terms of value, Oil & Gas exports total more than 15 percent of global exports. Over 10 percent of the value of the world’s stock markets are invested in the energy sector, and eight of the top ten global FORTUNE companies are energy companies.1 Despite these impressive numbers, global energy demand will continue to exceed supply. Even with increased energy efficiency, world energy consumption is estimated to rise by 56 percent over the next three decades, with half of this increase driven by greater demand from China and India.2 Oil will remain the main source of energy while natural gas will overtake coal as the second-largest energy source.3 Alternative energy will continue to account for the highest growth rates in the global energy mix.4 1 KPMG research 2 International Energy Outlook 2013 3 Outlook for Energy: A View to 2040, ExxonMobil 4 Ibid. © 2014 KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”).
