EIA expects world oil supplies to remain tight over next two years; demand to rise 1.5 to 1.6 million b/d a year

摘要

The world oil market will remain tight over the next two years as demand continue to grow by a robust rate of 1.5 million b/d in 2011 and 1.6 million b/d 2012, said the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). As a result, the world will have to drawdown inventories and rely on "significant increases" in the production of crude oil and non-crude liquids in OPEC member countries.
