Macro oils short-term outlook: March 2022
Report summary
In this Monthly Update, we have adjusted historical demand upward which lifts the total. The price forecast has also been revised upward to reflect the risk premium which developed as a result of the sanctions put in place against Russia in late-February. Russia is the world’s second largest oil producer at 11 million b/d of crude oil and condensate and its oil exports total about 4.6 million b/d, just under 5% of 100 million b/d of world supply. Highlights of this short term outlook include: • IEA crude stock release timing uncertain • US rig additions have slowed but production recovers through the year • OPEC production forecast shows gains in 2022 • Russia oil production outlook and risks • Demand recovering from the Covid impact
