Another Bump in the Road for Oil Markets:What It Means for Houston’s Economy
Robert W. Gilmer, Ph.D.C.T. Bauer College of Business
March 2017
Is It Finally Over? Maybe Not?
• Late 2015 and early 2016 may have been the worst period ever for American oil, and we have now lost about 77,000 local oil-related jobs since December 2014
• Recent revisions to Houston’s employment data show no job growth over the first 20 months of the drilling bust. Job growth of 18,000 new jobs over the last four months are a response to higher oil prices?
• Unlike many other oil downturns, the U.S. economy continues to grow strongly, helping Houston’s employers that sell into national markets. A major expansion of petrochemicals on the ship helped carry Houston, but it is now winding down
• Optimism crept into the drilling market in recent months, with growing conviction that we put the worst behind us. Oil prices rose, the rig count followed, and OPEC added momentum to oil markets with production cuts.
• But ALL the optimism built into oil prices by OPEC disappeared in the last couple of weeks. Speculator impatience, High oil inventories, adverse comments from Saudi’s, …
• U.S. growth? A definitive turn in drilling? The end of petrochemical construction? Another drop in oil prices? How does it all add up?
For Houston, Its Problems Have Been All About Oil Prices

Downward revisionof 14,098 jobs
Where Did This Service Sector Growth Come From?
• Where did this services growth come from? • Strong national markets: United Airlines, Sysco, AIG, HP• Petrochemical construction boom in East Houston• Past momentum, built on Houston’s 680,000 new jobs from
2004-2014• In-migrations continues strongly for several quarters after job
growth slows• Most direct damage is confined to oil producers, oil services,
and manufacturing … so far
• BUT … we are now 26 months into this slowdown. The chemical boom is over, momentum has waned, population growth is evaporating. Only the U.S. economy left to help out … until drilling turns up.

As Oil Prices Rose This Spring, Some Optimism Returned To The Oil Market
• The big three oil service companies all declared a bottom was in place for drilling in Q2/Q3/Q4 earnings reports
• Oil service and machinery stocks quickly rose 30% in February and March as oil prices moved off $30/bbl., and are up 30% since then
• The rig count steadily added back over 300 rigs from the March low
• But “a long, slow grind ahead,” “no V-shaped recovery in sight,” and “land recovering, but not yet international and offshore”
• IN the last two weeks, oil prices don’t quickly respond to OPEC cuts, optimism fades

Three Scenarios for a Drilling Recovery
• Rig Count? • High Scenario: Strong recovery like 2008-09
continues to unfold • Medium Scenario: Slows in 2017Q2/Q3 but
moderate recovery continues • Low Scenario falls back in 2017 Q2, remains
low and slow trough 2018
• Rig Count Max After Recovery? • High Scenario: 1650• Medium Scenario: 1500• Low Scenario: 1300
• Return of Drilling Jobs in Houston • High Scenario: 2017Q1• Medium Scenario: 2017Q3• Low Scenario: 2018Q4
High scenario requires a quick rebound in oil prices to $55, and continued move to $60-$65 range; moderate requires a return to $55 or better; low scenario triggered by continued oil price near $45, and staying at that level through 2017 and into 2018.

U.S. Economy Continues to Work for Houston
U.S. Economy Continues To Grow Strongly And Create Jobs
• Assume in all scenarios that the U.S. economy has put the Great Recession behind it
• Consumer has deleveraged; state and local governments are collecting revenues at a healthy rate and spending; the housing market has returned to close to normal
• U.S. job growth is at 1.7 percent or about 200,000 jobs per month throughout the forecast horizon
• We see the export sector, especially manufacturing struggling with the strong dollar, but domestic growth is robust

$164 Billion U.S. Construction Boom Is Based On Cheap Energy
• This $164 billion total includes many industries and all of the U.S.
• New ethylene crackers, more ethylene-related expansion in PE, PVC and other derivative plants
• LNG export terminals to sell surplus natural gas into global markets
• Refiners have joined in with additional expansions
Note: The $164 billion figure is based on all U.S. shale-related expansion, estimatedby the American Chemistry Council in April, 2016

Put It All Together
• Three oil scenarios: high, medium, or low. High sees solid recovery now underway in drilling; medium sees strength delayed until early 2017; low until late 2017
• Continued U.S. expansion at moderate rates
• The end of most of the petrochemical construction on the East Side. Some new construction, but nothing to replace the boom-time construction that finishes
• Data revisions that point to possible mild local recession in in early 2016.

Top-end Buyers Lost To Oil Bust, Bottom Of The Market Wants Back In
• High-end market for executives and professionals is gone for the next couple of years
• There are 2.3 million households in Houston. Every time affordability ticks up one percent, it locks 23,000 families out of the market.
• Affordability down 4-5 percent means over 100,000 families were pushed out since 2013
• They have household incomes of $65-$75,000 and can qualify for $250,000 product. Can we deliver near this price point?
