NATURAL GAS INDUSTRY

Natural gas will connue to be one of the countrys strategic fuel alternave to oil as it will add to energy security posion and sustainable development as the country moves away from oil. Natural gas from the Malampaya oshore gas eld in Palawan has become the countrys major fuel for power generaon. It is ulized for power generaon by three power plants located in Batangas namely; the 1,200 MW Ilijan, 1,000 MW Sta. Rita and the 500 MW San Lorenzo gas-red plants. In 2008, the three power plants consumed a total of 123,604 MMSCF generang about 19,603 GWh of electricity. This accounts for approximately 44 percent of the total power generaon mix in the Luzon grid and at least 34 percent of total gross generaon naonwide. In support of the governments expanded use of natural gas for non-power, the Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporaons renery is now using natural gas for its renery fuel. Likewise, the use of compressed natural gas (CNG) in public ulity buses is strongly being pursued by the government. Given the projected contribuon of natural gas to the countrys energy security and environment agenda, the government is determined to pursue development of the natural gas industry to make gas available to a wider base of customers by 2011. With the long term goal of tapping this clean energy for applicaons other than power generaon, the government will provide an enabling environment to encourage greater private sector parcipaon in its development.

NATURAL GAS

Gas Supply and Market Potential


The hydrocarbon potenal of the Philippines is sll under explored and the proven gas reserves in the Malampaya gas eld is esmated at 2.7 trillion cubic feet (TCF). Further, assessment of the petroleum resources in the Philippines indicates potenal gas resources of up to 25 TCF. While 16 sedimentary basins in the country have been idened, the proven reserves so far are in the Northwest Palawan basin where the Malampaya gas eld is located. The recently declared addional supply of natural gas available from Malampaya has sparked more interest from industry players and potenal buyers of gas. The Philippines is strategically situated within the internaonal LNG trade route and thus could potenally source its gas imports from its gas-rich neighbors in the Asian region. The use of natural gas in all sectors of the economy is connuously promoted taking advantage of the latest and most ecient technologies e.g. conversion of oil thermal plants, greeneld power plants, in cogeneraon, district cooling, CNG, crop drying and industrial estates, etc.

Infrastructure Requirements
The development and or expansion of the downstream natural gas market heavily relies on the necessary infrastructure. This includes the construcon of a gas transmission and distribuon pipeline networks including their related facilies such as LNG terminals, CNG relling staons and their respecve ancillary facilies that would enable exisng and new gas supplies to be developed and linked to the potenal demand centers. The following are the idened crical gas infrastructure projects that will be constructed primarily in Luzon where demand concentraon for natural gas is projected to be highest in the next ten years.

The rst CNG daughter staon was inaugurated in October 2007 kicked-o the operaon of 26 CNG buses plying the route of Metropolitan Manila to Laguna/Batangas. This is part of the targeted 200 buses for the 7-year pilot phase. The government aims to come up with 1,200 buses by 2015, 2 CNG mother staons and 6 CNG daughter staons. Based on the inter-modal plan of the Department of Transportaon and Communicaon, the possible locaons for a CNG Daughter staon is either in Pasay City (near Mall of Asia) or Quezon City (near SM North EDSA). The investment cost for a CNG refueling staon (mother & daughter) is approximately Php 500 million while the Original Equipment Manufactured (OEM) bus costs between Php 5 to Php 6 million each and repowering/retrong a CNG bus would be around Php 3.5 million.
