Global Oil Market Imbalance | Overview of countries on either side

Global oil production remains strong even as some leading industry forecasts suggest that global economic conditions will override low global oil prices to constrain oil demand growth this year.
  • Some leading OPEC producers, including Iraq, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia, are producing at or near record levels, largely offsetting production declines from several OPEC and non-OPEC producers. Many of these OPEC members have relatively low operating costs or are on the upside of years of development to bring online new production and thus may not reduce production in the face of the oil price slump to retain their market shares.
  • In contrast, other major producers, such as Mexico, Nigeria, the United States, and Venezuela, are seeing global oil prices fall below their break-even prices. These producers are working to reign in production costs, manage declining production in major producing fields, and/or expedite rationalization of their domestic industry, spurred by the boom-bust cycle of the market, under investment, and internal regulatory reforms.

US Energy Agency Lowers US Oil Production Estimates for 2019-2020

In November 2018, the United States exported a historic 2.6 million barrels of crude oil per day to become the world’s fifth largest exporter of crude oil. While the US is on track to maintain this historic volume of production during the next couple of years, the EIA in March tempered its February production growth forecast, issuing a 0.9 percent downward revision for 2019 and 1.3 percent revision for 2020. The current forecast predicts average 12.3 million b/d production this year and 13 million b/d in 2020, while the previous average estimates were 12.41 and 13.2 million b/d,...

United States: The World's Newest Major Exporter of Crude Oil

In June, US crude oil exports reached historic levels at nearly 2.2 million barrels per day (b/d), a level similar to that of Nigeria and Iran. From 1975 until late 2015, a federal ban on the export of US crude oil severely restricted crude oil exports to all countries except Canada. By lifting the ban, the US Government has transformed the United States into a major exporter of crude oil and a force that is reshaping global oil markets. To date in 2018, the United States has averaged more than 1.7 million b/d of crude oil exports while continuing to import an average of 7.9...

Nigeria: Oil price slump affecting production, undermining fiscal sustainability and growth

2015 was a momentous year for Nigeria. The general elections held in March brought about the first democratic transition of power from a ruling party to an opposition party, heightening expectations for meaningful political change. The new Government is establishing itself during a very challenging time, however, marked by a sharp, sustained decline in global oil prices and continuing violence in the country's northeast. Given the high dependency of Nigeria on oil revenues, the recent sharp decline in oil prices has given rise to major challenges in the form of external imbalance,...

Energy Transition in Action: US Stock Market has Chosen the Green Path

(2 November 2020) Contrary to reasoned arguments of those who believe that the peak of oil demand is still far ahead even as the likes of bp expect we'll never again return to pre-COVID global oil demand levels, the US stock market has already chosen the green path. For the first time ever, the market value of a primary producer of renewable energy has surpassed that of oil majors. On October 7, 2020, the market value of the world's largest producer of wind and solar energy—Nextera Energy—topped US oil majors Exxon Mobil and Chevron. One day before US election day, the market...
