<strong>OAPEC</strong> members’ consumption of petroleum products is<br />

expected to increase by 3.4% to 4.8 million boe/d in 2009, compared with<br />

4.7 million boe/d in 2008. The average growth of petroleum products’<br />

consumption had been 4.7% a year during the period 2005-2009.<br />

Five member countries recorded increases above the <strong>OAPEC</strong> average<br />

in 2005-2009: Qatar (19.1%), Algeria (7.9%), Bahrain (7.1%), Libya<br />

(6.9%), and Saudi Arabia (5.3%).<br />

The increase in petroleum products’ consumption in <strong>OAPEC</strong> member<br />

countries amounted to about 160,000 boe/d in 2009. It occurred mainly in<br />

six countries, namely, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Egypt, the UAE, Qatar, and<br />

Libya. Petroleum products’ consumption rose by 55,000 boe/d in Saudi<br />

Arabia, by 35,000 boe/d in Algeria, 15,000 boe/d in Egypt, 12,000 in the<br />

UAE, and by 10,000 boe/d each in Qatar and Libya. The consumption<br />

increase in other member countries ranged between 2,000 boe/d in Tunisia<br />

and 8,000 boe/d in Kuwait, as shown in Table (1-22).
