EIA expects crude oilprices to decrease through 2023 and 2024, even as petroleum consumption increases, largely because growth in crude oil production in the United States and abroad will continue to increase over the next two years. Areas of uncertainty include Russian oil supply and OPEC production. per gallon in 2024.
EIA expects sustained global demand for petroleum products and Saudi Arabia’s extended voluntary production cuts will contribute to oilprices rising through the year. The Brent crude oilprice was near $75 per barrel at the beginning of July and increased throughout the month to surpass $86 per barrel on 4 August.
The potential for growth in demand for liquid fuels is focused on the emerging economies of China, India, and the Middle East, while liquid fuels demand in the United States, Europe, and other regions with well-established oil markets seems to have peaked. Rising world oilprices attract investment in areas previously considered uneconomic.
Uncertainty range of the aviation GHG emissions under the High Oilprice scenario (the most optimistic for biojet adoption), given in a box plot depicting the minimum, quartile, and maximum values. With biojet options, under the high oilprice scenario (the most optimistic for biojet adoption), the median (i.e.,
World oilprices remain high in the IEO2011 Reference case, but oil consumption continues to grow; both conventional and unconventional liquid supplies are used to meet rising demand. In the IEO2011 Reference case the price of light sweet crude oil (in real 2009 dollars) remains high, reaching $125 per barrel in 2035.
Oil production capacity is surging in the United States and several other countries at such a fast pace that global oil output capacity could grow by nearly 20% from the current 93 million barrels per day to 110.6 Such an increase in capacity could prompt a plunge or even a collapse in oilprices, he suggests.
” Their analysis is in the context of the “ surprising [oil] demand strength of 2010 “; 2010 saw absolute incremental demand at around 2.2mb/d of growth—the second highest in 30 years, despite oilprices in the $90/bbl region. There is pressure to make European standards even more aggressive.

This year, shale output forecasts combine with OPEC’s production cuts, geopolitical factors, and unexpected outages to further complicate supply/demand and oilprice forecasts by Wall Street’s major investment banks.

This reflects anticipated shifts within the US truck-buying industries primarily, but Canada and Mexico are likewise seen with significant declines in 2020 demand. For major truck producers in Japan and South Korea , most have been forced to suspend operations due to reported parts shortages, resulting in 8,000 units of lost production.
Decisions regarding further upgrading capacity will be considered in the future in the context of evolving heavy/light crude oilprice spreads. As well, approvals from Syncrude’s joint venture owners and Canadian Oil Sands’ Board of Directors are required to move from scoping to detailed engineering work and then construction.
“NEB and GNWT study finds 200 billion barrels of oil in the Sahtu,” gushed CBC News , referring to a region of the sprawling territory that cuts across three provinces and touches the Arctic Ocean. Knowledgeable oilmen like Hogg say that the Canol, while highly prospective, is a long-term game that will have to wait until oilprices rise.
Critics cite the steep crude oilprice discounts for Canadian producers in the past year as further evidence that rail is not economic. On average in 2012, the price of heavy oils sands was $27 per barrel lower than a comparable barrel on the US Gulf Coast (USGC), and for short periods the difference was more than $40 per barrel.
The deep ocean, oil shales, and oil sands are all potentially major sources of future oil production, but these are often expensive to access and their development may significantly increase the environmental costs of fossil fuel use. Nonetheless, high oilprices pushed production from the Canadian oil sands to 1.2
If the proposed broad 20% border-adjustment tax were implemented and applied to the energy sector, the result would likely lead to a large increase in gasoline prices and a big premium in domestic oilprices vs. international, according to new analysis by Bloomberg Intelligence.

Even prior to the pandemic, IHS Markit expected the coming decade to be one of sustained-but-slower growth for the oil sands, with transportation constraints such as a lack of adequate pipeline capacity and the resulting sense of price insecurity in western Canada weighing on new large-scale incremental investments.
Stagnant oilprices continue to limit large-scale investments in global exploration worldwide, including deepwater plays, and many onshore US projects are not yet cash-flow positive, so energy investors are demanding financial returns. These five case studies represent just a fraction of the opportunity that we identified globally.
They also note that if the scale of analysis is that of the entire economy, the value commonly referenced for economy wide emissions is that oil sands constitute ~5% of Canada’s emissions. However, this only accounts for the processing that occurs in Canada and therefore excludes much of the refining and transport emissions.
Conventional oil production in Western Canada, including condensates, remains stable at 1.5 Conventional oil production continues to reverse its previous long decline because of the continuing use of horizontal and multi-fracturing drilling techniques.
