The International Energy Agency Monthly Oil Market Report

The monthly Oil Market Report (OMR) from the International Energy Agency provides extensive analysis on world oil market trends as well as projections for oil supply and demand 12-18 months ahead. Developed from information obtained from the extensive IEA network of contacts with government and industry, it is the only regular, short-term analysis of the global oil industry available and has become an authoritative source for government officials and market and industry strategists alike.

• Following very strong year-on-year demand growth of 2.2 mb/d in 2Q17, the pace slowed to 1.2 mb/d in 3Q17, reflecting relatively weak July and August data and the impact of hurricanes in September. Our forecast of global demand growth remains unchanged at 1.6 mb/d in 2017 (or 1.6%) and 1.4 mb/d in 2018 (or 1.4%).
• Global oil supply rose 90 kb/d in September to 97.5 mb/d as non-OPEC output edged higher. Output stands 620 kb/d higher than last year. In 2017, non-OPEC supplies are expected to grow by 0.7 mb/d, followed by a 1.5 mb/d increase in 2018.
• OPEC crude output was virtually unchanged in September as slightly higher flows from Libya and Iraq offset lower supply from Venezuela. Output of 32.65 mb/d was down 400 kb/d on a year ago. Compliance with supply cuts for the year-to-date is 86%.
