*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
The oil supply summary monthly report provides analysis on short-term global oil supply through 2019. The written document is accompanied by a related excel data download. Global supply in 2017 and 2018 remains largely unchanged, with global supply forecast to increase 0.7 million b/d year-on-year in 2017 and 1.8 million b/d in 2018. This is a downward revision of 90,000 b/d and 70,000 b/d respectively since our last monthly update. We have extended our short-term forecast to incorporate 2019; global supply is projected to grow at a slower rate of 1.0 million b/d in 2019, reaching 100.4 million b/d. Notably, this assumes key OPEC and non-OPEC producers continue to demonstrate production restraint through the year.
