Only limited uptick in global upstream spending
Producers spend more on short cycle supply, especially US LTO. Investments in conventional fields remain depressed, but some signs of renewed interest in offshore.

Booming non-OPEC supply in early years of forecast…
… more than covers demand growth to 2020. By 2023, non-OPEC supply grows by 5.2 mb/d. OPEC capacity rises only 1.2 mb/d due to Venezuelan collapse and limited increases elsewhere.

Higher oil prices unleash second wave of US supply
Total output reaches 17 mb/d by 2023 – and could be even higher if prices rise/bottlenecks ease.

Conclusions
• Robust world oil demand growth to 2023 – petrochemicals key driver.
• Non-OPEC output growth exceeds demand increase through 2020.
• US, Brazil, Canada, Norway dominate growth. New infrastructure investments relieve US export bottlenecks.
• US crude finds new markets as refiners seek light, low sulphur crude to meet petrochemical demand and IMO specifications.
• More upstream investment needed today to meet future demand and offset 3 mb/d of declines from mature oil fields each year.
• As spare capacity cushion shrinks, supply security concerns remain critical.
