OPEC news

OPEC has noted, on the International Energy Agency’s recent Op-Ed published, asserting that fossil fuel demand would peak before 2030, that consistent and data-based forecasts do not support this assertion.

This increase in the EIA’s forecast of crude oil production is largely based on their interpretation of the January 2022 OPEC+ meeting, when participants reaffirmed their decision to continue to increase output by 0.4 million bpd each month until all of the production cuts are reversed.

Global oil demand is set to return to pre-pandemic levels by the end of 2022, according to the International Energy Agency's latest monthly oil report.

Oil prices continue to rise as the previous day’s OPEC+ meeting paved the way for stock draws and surprised the market.

Oil prices stated the day with optimism after several days of trimming February gains, as markets hope for positive news from this month’s coming OPEC+ meeting.

Rystad Energy’s Head of Oil Markets, Bjornar Tonhaugen, has commented on today's OPEC+ meeting.

Oil prices got a new boost on Friday, as traders saw the OPEC+ compromise as a bullish development after the supply uncertainty that took the market by surprise since the start of the week.

Oil prices are largely stable on Wednesday as the market avoids leaning heavily on positive vaccine news, waiting for the next day’s crucial OPEC+ meeting instead.

Oil prices moved only marginally on Tuesday as the market waits for a clear message from ongoing OPEC+ negotiations, after a turbulent meeting the previous day.

If output increases as planned from January, the world will have to face a new 200 million bbl surplus through May, Rystad Energy calculates.
