Oil Revenue Trends
The revenue from oil showed a fluctuating but overall increasing trend over the five-year period. Starting at 91 million US dollars in 2012, it slightly declined to 88 million in 2013, then rose significantly to 133 million in 2014. A dip occurred in 2015 to 116 million, followed by a notable increase reaching 169 million by the end of 2016. This indicates growing reliance or increased performance in oil sales despite some volatility.
Natural Gas Revenue Trends
Natural gas revenues exhibited a declining trend from 2012 to 2014, dropping from 48 million to 27 million US dollars. However, the trend reversed slightly afterward, with revenues increasing to 36 million in 2015 and 38 million in 2016. Despite the partial recovery, the overall revenue from natural gas remained lower at the end of the period compared to the start.
NGLs Revenue Trends
Revenues from Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) showed a generally strong upward trajectory. Initially, the revenue more than doubled from 37 million in 2012 to 79 million in 2013, followed by a further increase to 83 million in 2014. A decline to 64 million occurred in 2015, but by 2016 there was a sharp rebound reaching 106 million. This reflects growing importance or improved pricing and sales for NGLs with some short-term volatility.
Inventories
Inventories consistently increased over the period examined. From 176 million US dollars in 2012, inventories rose each year except for a minor dip in 2015, with a peak at 313 million in 2016. This suggests accumulation of stock, potentially indicating either anticipation of higher future demand or delays in sales or production alignment.
Overall Insights
The overall patterns suggest an expanding oil and NGLs business with a recovery in natural gas revenues after initial declines. Increasing inventories alongside rising revenues, especially in oil and NGLs, may indicate strategic stockpiling or market positioning efforts. Caution might be warranted regarding natural gas' lower relative revenue and inventory growth, which could imply changing demand or operational challenges in that sector.
