Summary
In 2023, oil demand reached unprecedented levels, driven by the rapid expansion of Chinese petrochemical activity and a surge in its demand for NGL feedstocks. However, the pace of oil demand growth is decelerating, and expected to ease further in 2024. At the same time, a collective supply increase is set to elevate global supply to its highest-ever level. Record-breaking US supply is boosting non-OPEC+ output. When combined with record supply from Brazil and Guyana and a notable rise in Iranian production, prices are under pressure, and OPEC+ is increasingly hard pressed to support them.
US natural gas production is growing as well, while the global LNG market remains tight. US LNG export growth will accelerate in 2024 and beyond, with significant capacity additions.
