Global Oil Demand Will Increase More Rapidly Than Expected Next Year, According to IEA.

Global oil demand is expected to rise more than anticipated next year, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). This indicates that, despite this week’s COP28 agreement for the transition from fossil fuels, the outlook for oil use in the short term remains strong.

Despite this update, there is still a significant discrepancy between IEA forecasts, representing industrialized countries, and the OPEC producers’ group regarding projected demand for 2024. This disparity has caused conflicts in recent years, particularly over issues such as long-term demand and the need for investment in new supplies of barrels per day (bpd).

Global Oil Consumption Will Increase in 2024

Global consumption will increase by 1.1 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2024, according to the Paris report – The IEA stated in a monthly report an increase of 130,000 bpd from its previous forecast, citing improved prospects for the United States and lower oil prices.

Influence of Oil Prices on IEA Forecasts

The 2024 revision reflects ‘ a slightly improved GDP outlook compared to last month’s report’, the IEA stated. ‘This is especially true for the U.S., where a soft landing is anticipated.’

‘The drop in oil prices acts as an additional boost to oil consumption’, it added.

Oil has weakened to a six-month low near US$ 72 a barrel this week, even after OPEC+, which includes oil-exporting countries from OPEC and allies like Russia, announced on November 30 a new round of production cuts for the first quarter of 2024.

Impact of Reports on Oil Market

Brent crude rose nearly 2% on Thursday after the IEA report was released, trading near US$ 76.

Demand Slowdown
In the report, the IEA also cut its forecast for oil demand growth in 2023 by 90,000 bpd to 2.3 million bpd and reduced its estimate for the fourth quarter by nearly 400,000 bpd.

A reduction is expected to half the rate of demand expansion next year, due to below-trend economic growth in major economies, efficiency improvements, and a growing fleet of electric vehicles, the IEA stated.

Challenges in Maintaining High Oil Prices

The extension of OPEC+ supply cuts into the first quarter of next year did little to boost prices, and increased production in other countries would act as a hurdle, it added.

‘The ongoing rise in production and the slowdown in demand growth will complicate the efforts of major producers to defend their market share and maintain high oil prices’, it stated.

The OPEC, in a monthly report released on Wednesday, maintained its forecast for global oil demand growth in 2023 at 2.46 million bpd. For 2024, OPEC expects demand growth of 2.25 million bpd, also unchanged from last month.

The difference between IEA and OPEC forecasts for 2024 has narrowed slightly but remains at 1.15 million bpd – equivalent to about 1% of daily oil consumption worldwide and the daily production of an OPEC member, such as Libya.

Oil demand analysts often have to make considerable revisions, given the changes in economic prospects and geopolitical uncertainties, which this year included the lifting of coronavirus restrictions in China. Blockades and rising interest rates.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

A giant hole has opened on the Sun and is now pointed directly at Earth, releasing particles at 700 km per second that are expected to hit the planet between Friday and Saturday.

Before Yuri Gagarin, hidden tragedies, failed missions, and lost voices in space may have been erased from the official history of the Soviet Union — could it be that the first human in space never returned home?

Work at the Federal Institute and earn up to R$ 7,000: IFRJ calls for individuals with high school, technical, and higher education levels in a competition with 400 vacancies, assistance of R$ 1,175, Idecan as the organizing committee, and the announcement expected for May 2026.

Iran said that the Strait of Hormuz is open, but in practice only 1 non-Iranian oil tanker managed to cross in 24 hours — before the blockade, 100 ships passed per day.

Petrobras completes 1,300 hours of work and 15 km of subsea lines to connect the Búzios 90 well to the P-79 — the platform is ready to produce 180,000 barrels per day and is just awaiting ANP approval.

Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz completely open this Friday, and the price of oil plummets nearly 10% in a few hours — the largest drop since the beginning of the conflict.

While the world was paying more for fuel, the 100 largest oil companies on the planet raked in an extra $23 billion in just 30 days of blockage in the Strait of Hormuz.

Petrobras buys 75% of Oranto and becomes the operator of block 3 in São Tomé and Príncipe, resuming its strategy in Africa to diversify its portfolio and replenish oil and gas reserves.
