Summary of Global Oil: Monthly Agency Data Snapshot (February 17, 2025) Industry Overview - The report focuses on the global oil market, highlighting the mixed updates from various agencies regarding supply and demand forecasts for 2025 and 2026. Key Points Supply Forecasts - The EIA raised non-OPEC+ supply growth for 2025 by 0.13Mb/d to 1.54Mb/d and for 2026 by 0.15Mb/d to 1.02Mb/d, driven by higher US supply [4][48] - The IEA cut its non-OPEC+ supply growth forecast for 2025 by 40kb/d to 1.43Mb/d, while OPEC revised it down by 60kb/d for 2025 and 0.1Mb/d for 2026, both to ~1Mb/d [4][48] - Overall, the EIA's outlook for non-OPEC+ supply in 2025 is the most optimistic at 55.0Mb/d, compared to IEA's 54.5Mb/d and OPEC's 54.2Mb/d [43] Demand Forecasts - Demand growth forecasts for 2025 were mixed: IEA raised its forecast to 1.1Mb/d, EIA to 1.36Mb/d, while OPEC remained unchanged at 1.45Mb/d [3] - UBS raised its demand growth forecast for 2025 by 70kb/d to 1.19Mb/d, citing a lower base effect from 2024 [59] - For 2026, both EIA and OPEC kept their forecasts virtually unchanged at 1.05Mb/d and 1.43Mb/d respectively [3] Market Balance - The UBS model suggests a tightly balanced market for 2025 with a slight surplus of 0.31Mb/d due to higher US supply [59] - The IEA's balance for 2025 is now broadly in line with the EIA's, with a surplus forecast of 0.45Mb/d [23] - The EIA's bearish update for 2026 indicates a larger surplus of 0.98Mb/d, reflecting upward revisions to non-OPEC+ supply [23] Price Scenarios - The report anticipates Brent prices to remain in the mid-$70s, supported by OPEC+ cuts, but warns of potential negative impacts from slower GDP growth and substitution effects [9] - Upside price scenarios could see Brent prices rise towards $80/bbl if Iranian production drops or if OPEC+ compliance improves [11] - Conversely, a downside scenario could see prices drop into the $60s due to a global economic slowdown and increased supply from OPEC+ [12] Geopolitical Factors - The start of the second Trump presidency has heightened uncertainties in the oil market, particularly regarding Iranian and Russian supply [2] - OPEC+ is expected to postpone the unwind of production cuts, currently scheduled to start in April [5] Long-term Outlook - Global oil demand is expected to peak at 106.0Mb/d in 2029 before gradually declining, influenced by rising efficiency and the impact of electric vehicles [61] - The report notes that gasoline demand may decline over time due to increased EV uptake, which could replace 3.6Mb/d of oil for passenger vehicles globally by 2030 [66] Additional Insights - The IEA reported no missing barrels in its February OMR, but noted an overall missing barrels calculation of 0.2Mb/d for 2024, indicating potential underestimation of demand or overestimation of supply [27] - The report emphasizes the importance of monitoring geopolitical developments and their potential impact on oil supply and prices [59]
