*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
The oil market is not exactly experiencing a supply crunch the same way natural gas is. For oil, fear of a future supply shortage, rather than an actual one, is the driving force behind recent price increases. In this Insight, we examine the sources of concern in the market and present our analysis showing spare capacity and fuel switching. Both indicate less reason for concern than widely anticipated at present. This report is a follow-up on to our assessment of low US crude oil inventories released on 25 October 2021.
