Chile’s total gross crude oil and condensate production capacity in 2020 was 2.1 thousand barrels per day (kbd), which is expected to decline at a CAGR of more than -9% during the forecast period 2021-2025. The country’s energy industry is dominated by onshore natural gas production from the Magallanes Basin in the Magallanes Region. The largest project in Chile is the dry natural gas Arenal Complex, 100% owned and operated by Empresa Nacional del Petroleo (ENAP), the state-owned integrated oil and gas company. Crude oil and condensate are produced in much smaller quantities, accounting for just over 8% of the country’s total production in 2020. Liquid production stems from Fell Complex, Caupolican Complex, and other smaller fields combined.

What are the market dynamics of the Chilean exploration & production sector?

As a net importer of energy products, the Chilean government endeavored to create a successful oil and gas industry through its 2007 Magallanes Exploration and Production (E&P) round and licensed 10 blocks. To date, activities in the country have not generated significant discoveries to emancipate Chile from import dependence. However, in 2014, the government, led by Sebastián Piñera, created an energy agenda that would provide for a cleaner, cheaper, and more sustainable power generation supply to meet long-term growth needs, moving away from conventional, non-renewable sources. The energy agenda re-started the solar energy research and development program promoting industrial innovation improved bidding process regulations and redesigned the long-term and short-term bidding conditions, making a more competitive environment to attract new investors. In December 2015, the energy agenda was updated and renamed Energy 2050 Agenda with a cornerstone policy update of 70% of Chile’s energy sources to be supplied from non-conventional renewable energy sources. The Chilean government has made a concerted effort in developing policies and investing heavily in a sustainable energy future that has allowed the country to capitalize and lead in the rapidly developing energy transition space.

No upcoming oil and gas bid rounds have been announced by the Chilean Government through GeoPark is likely to continue its exploration and production work program in 2022. Notably, however, the country in Q3 2021 received 10 bids in the world’s first national hydrogen tender, leveraging wind and solar renewable energy sources. The Chilean government as part of its national plan aims to become carbon neutral by 2050 and has seen bids from Enel Green Power, CAP, Engie, GNL Quintero, IMELSA Energa, Linde, Hydrogène de France, Sociedad de Inversiones Albatros, Air Liquide Chile, and the Copenhagen Infrastructure Energy Transition Fund. The winning tender/s will receive up to $30 million in project financing. The government will spend up to $50 million and the project once the bid/s is selected is carded to commence hydrogen production by 2025 with a minimum capacity of 10 MW per project. Hydrogen activity will focus on Atacama and Antofagasta regions in the north, Valparaiso and Aysén in the central region, and Magallanes in the south.

Chile intends over the long term to become the world’s premier exporter of green fuel. This initiative aligns with the country’s external global commitments. During the COP26 conference in Glasgow, United Kingdom in October 2020, Chile among 46 countries, five subnational, and 26 organizations pledged in total or in part to the Global Coal to Clean Power Transition initiative.

What are the key categories of Chile’s crude oil and natural gas production?

We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
