Oil Supply Set to Grow Through 2030 with No Peak Evident


Global oil productive capacity will grow though 2030 with no evidence of a peak of supply before that time, according to a new report by IHS Cambridge Energy Research Associates based on analysis of more than 10,000 projects around the globe. The report, The Future of Global Oil Supply: Understanding the Building Blocks extends IHS CERA's global oil outlook through 2030 and expects global oil productive capacity to grow to as much as 115 million barrels per day (mbd) through that period from the current level of 92 mbd, a 25 percent increase. Post 2030 supply could struggle to meet demand but this would take the form of a decades long "undulating plateau" rather than a sharp fall, the report says.

The rebound would mark a turnaround from the largest drop in global oil demand since the oil crisis of the early 1980s. IHS CERA expects oil demand growth to resume by 900,000 barrels per day (bd) in 2010 and return to its 2007 high of 86.5 million barrels per day (mbd) by 2012 a five year turnaround. "There are a lot of questions as to whether things will be 'different this time' in terms of the recovery of oil demand," said IHS CERA chairman and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Prize, Daniel Yergin. "While the answer is that it will be shorter, it is still going to take a substantial amount of time".....Read the entire article
