Chinese 'pressure tactics' pose risks to investors - report

By Alexis Romero, The Philippine Star
Posted at 08/05/2011 10:03 AM | Updated as of 08/05/2011 10:03 AM


MANILA, Philippines - China’s “pressure tactics” pose risks to firms having interests in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) and could hinder the development of the Philippines’ oil and gas reserves in the region, according to a multinational risk consultancy.

In a report released to its clients last July 28, Pacific Strategies & Assessments (PSA) said the tensions in the Spratlys indicate that investors would likely face “serious and costly risks” in their operations.

“While the possibility of a high-level military conflict in the region remains remote in the future, Chinese pressure tactics have shown that the risks faced by non-state oil and gas investors in the South China Sea (SCS) will clearly not be limited to armed conflict in the region,” it said.

http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/business/08/05/...nvestors-report
PSA, whose clients include multinational firms and embassies, said a prolonged territorial dispute would be the primary hindrance to the development of oil and gas reserves in the region.

“Past and recent developments in the SCS have underscored that a protracted multilateral territorial dispute would be the foremost stumbling block in efforts to commercially develop the oil and gas reserves in the region,” it added.

The Philippines, China, Brunei, Malaysia, Vietnam and Taiwan are claiming parts of the Spratly Islands in the West Philippine Sea.

“Notwithstanding the opportunities in the oil and gas sector, the commitment of Philippine government policies and support vacillate depending on the priorities of the incumbent administration,” the report read.

“This adds to the risks for potential and current oil and gas investors in the Philippines. China, for its part, is expected to maintain its pressure on oil and gas investors in the region,” it added.

PSA, nevertheless, said the Aquino administration had indicated a serious stand to support the gas and oil potentials of the country.

It noted that the government has prodded British firm Forum Energy into exploring Service Contract 72 that includes the Recto Bank (Reed Bank) off Palawan.

PSA, which has offices in Manila, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Bangkok, Milwaukee and Sydney, said surveys on SC 72 alone showed 96 billion cubic meters of natural gas potential and 440 million barrels of oil potential.

“The figures are greater than the natural gas reserves of the $130-billion Malampaya project, also in Palawan, as well as the oil reserves in Thailand,” it said.

PSA said the possibility of earning twice the amount from the combined Malampaya project and SC 72 is expected to be a major motivation for the Philippines to remain committed to its territorial claims.

The report noted that the Philippines is heavily dependent on oil imports from the Middle East, with about 90 percent of its oil imports coming from the region.

“The potential oil and natural gas reserves in the South China Sea could prove to be significant in reducing the country’s dependence on Middle East oil,” PSA said.

The Philippines has expressed readiness to bring the territorial dispute in accordance with international law before the United Nations. China, however, said the issue should be resolved through direct negotiations among claimant countries.

China media warns Manila on military in Spratlys

BEIJING—Chinese media on Friday warned the Philippines against building up its military presence in disputed areas of the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea), amid a deepening rift between the two countries.

A strongly worded editorial in the China Daily accused Manila of infringing “China’s territorial integrity” and said the Philippines could pay “a high price” for misjudging the issue.

The Philippines was “not taking seriously” an agreement struck by Beijing and Association of Southeast Asian Nations members in Indonesia last month “to solve the maritime disputes in peace,” the English language newspaper said.

The editorial came after a weekend Philippine Star newspaper report that the Philippine navy would soon complete a shelter to “protect troops guarding and securing the country’s maritime domain” on an island claimed by both countries.
The shell-like structure the navy began building in May is on an island called Patag by the Philippines and Feixin by China — part of the Spratlys chain which is also wholly or partially claimed by Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia and Taiwan.

Tensions in the decades-old dispute escalated this year amid accusations from the Philippines and Vietnam that China was becoming increasingly aggressive in staking its claims to the sea, which the Philippines.

Manila has accused Chinese forces of harassing an oil exploration vessel and shooting at Filipino fishermen.

The Philippine navy is awaiting the arrival of a newly-purchased US-built coast guard ship the Star said would be used to "secure natural resources" -- which the China Daily said have been tapped in "illegal" projects.

"What Manila has done not only constitutes an infringement of China's territorial integrity but also runs counter to ASEAN's stance and the spirit of the guidelines," for implementing ASEAN's 2002 Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea.

"There could well be a high price to pay for any misjudgment on the South China Sea issue by countries like the Philippines," the editorial said.
