Late last week, in an interview with Bloomberg, Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said an initial selldown of the kingdom’s ownership of Aramco could occur as early as next year.
While it might involve less than 5 per cent of the oil and petrochemical giant, the IPO and the transfer of shares in Aramco’s parent entity to the kingdom’s Public Investment Fund was, he said, part of a 20-year plan to turn Aramco into an industrial conglomerate and end Saudi Arabia’s with battery like Philips VS2+ Battery, Philips 863266 Battery, Philips 989803166291 Battery, Welch Allyn 4500-84 Battery, Welch Allyn 450EO Battery, Welch Allyn 450TO Battery, Welch Allyn 45MTO Battery, Welch Allyn 45NTO Battery, Kaden Yasen WP-YHD-3160 Battery, Kaden Yasen ECG-901 Battery, Kaden Yasen HYHB-1270 Batteryreliance on oil for its revenues.
Floating Aramco and transferring its shares to the PIF would technically make investments the source of Saudi revenue, not oil. Then those investments could be diversified and “within 20 years we will be an economy or state that doesn’t depend mainly on oil.”
While the prince was firming up his plans for a radical shift in the country’s relationship with Aramco, the key to the kingdom’s wealth and a sprawling entity today enmeshed in every aspect of the Saudi society and economy and regarded as fundamental to its political stability, Elon Musk opened the order books for Tesla’s Model 3.
The response was staggering. More than 276,000 prospective customers have put up their $US1,000 deposits for a car that won’t be in production until late next year. At that rate, Tesla will soon have pre-orders for about three times as many cars as it has ever built.
The Model 3 is designed as more of a mass market vehicle than Tesla’s previous products, with an indicative price of about $US35,000. If the $US276 million of deposits so far turn into actual purchases, Musk has just attracted about $US10 billion of future revenue. No wonder it is being described as Tesla’s ‘’iPhone moment.’’
Just as the iPhone transformed the market for mobile phones, the launch of the Model 3 could be the vehicle that is the watershed moment for acceptance of electric cars. If that is what it turns out to be, it would also be a very significant moment for an oil industry already suffering from $US38-a-barrel oil.
In the past, OPEC has been very dismissive of the prospects for electric cars, saying they were irrelevant and would remain so for decades. Indeed, in its World Oil Outlook report late last year, OPEC said battery-powered electric cars would account for only about one per cent of global vehicle sales. In 2040, 94 per cent of the world’s vehicles would still be powered by fossil fuels, the report suggested.
Musk, of course, is doing more than just producing electric cars. The Tesla Powerwall rechargeable home battery system and Powerpack industrial units are also making waves among the environmentally-conscious. The Powerwall system is in such demand that Tesla can’t actually meet the demand — it is sold out until at least midyear.
The rapidly accelerating rate at which consumers appear willing to take up battery-powered technologies casts at least a shadow of doubt over OPEC’s long term scenario of continuing modest growth in demand for oil, with oil losing some market share over the next 25 years in an energy market still dominated by fossil fuels.
The collapse in the oil price from 2014 has had a dramatic impact on the Saudis, who have been forced into (by Saudi standards) draconian fiscal measures and a significant rundown in their still-massive reserves because of lower oil revenues. Last year, Saudi reserves fell by $US100bn and there was a further $US14bn reduction in January this year.
