low, and well below levels seen in OECD countries (Figure 1.17). By 2035, oil use per head in developing countries will average just 3 barrels, compared to close to 12 barrels on average in the OECD. This comparison disguises even greater disparities: for example, by 2035, while close to 15 barrels per head will be consumed in North America, in regions such as Middle East & Africa and South Asia, only slightly higher than 1 barrel per head will be used. The key to future demand growth is the transportation sector of non-OECD countries (Figure 1.18), which accounts for 88% of the oil demand increase over the period to 2035. 34 Developing countries are also expected to see some rise in oil use in other sectors, particularly in industry – petrochemicals and other industrial uses – as well as in the residential/commercial/agriculture sector. Globally, the small amount of oil still used for electricity generation is expected to decline. In OECD countries, the declining use of oil is dominated by the fall in demand in road transportation due to efficiency improvements, as well as saturation effects that slow down the rate of increases in vehicle ownership. These trends are explored in more detail in Chapter 2. Oil supply Oil supply in the medium-term The medium-term Reference Case assessment of non-OPEC supply utilizes a large database covering more than 250 new upstream development projects. The expected pattern of crude and NGLs supply emerges from a risked analysis of new oil supply from fields that are to be developed, together with assumptions for the net growth/ decline in existing fields. A similar approach at the project level is undertaken to derive the Reference Case medium-term paths for biofuels and non-conventional oil, the latter of which consists primarily of Canadian oil sands. Fuller details of these assessments are contained in Chapter 3. As with demand, there are major uncertainties surrounding the expected future levels of supply from each world region. This has been reflected in the revisions to medium-term expectations made in earlier WOOs. Figure 1.19 shows, for example, that in the WOO 2009, there was a substantial downward revision to non-OPEC supply projections for 2015, from 57 mb/d in the WOO 2008 to 52.4 mb/d in the WOO 2009. 35 The context of preparing these reports is, of course, central to understanding the changing expectations. The WOO 2008, released in June of that year, was prepared at a time of high and rising oil prices and before the global financial crisis that hit later that year. At the time of writing the WOO 2008, mention was made of the short-term concerns of a significant US economic slowdown, but it was 65 Chapter 1

On the other mb/d hand, the WOO 2009 was written while the global financial crisis was in full swing, 40 with the recognition that the subsequent recession could turn out to be “the longest and most Capacitywidespread Crude supply since the Second World War” and with oil prices having plummeted 35 at the end of 2008. It is thus no surprise that the WOO 2009 assessment of medium-term supply prospects emphasizes that “lower prices are leading to cancel- 30 lations and delays”. Downward revisions to non-OPEC supply were therefore made across every world region. 25 20 What these past revisions clearly reflect is that supply projections, as with demand, must reflect the emerging circumstances and the corresponding possible changes 15 in expectations for how future supply will evolve, at least in the Reference Case. Last year’s WOO had already become more bullish on the prospects for non- 10 OPEC supply, recognizing that “the potential short- and medium-term adverse impact 5 on oil supplies of the economic crisis, the debt financing difficulties and the low oil price environment has now eased”. This year’s revised Reference Case set of projections 0 continues that process, reflecting the more rapid recovery from recession and the higher 2010 price 2011 expectations 2012 that have 2013 been outlined 2014 earlier 2015 in this Chapter.
