considerably swifter than in the Reference Case: by 2035, it has risen to over 43 mb/d.<br />

There is a slight asymmetry in the results for the LEG and HEG scenarios because of<br />

the additional emphasis in the former of the on-going Euro-zone crisis.<br />

The Liquids Supply Surge scenario<br />

The LSS scenario focuses specifically on supply uncertainties. There are a number of<br />

reasons for focusing on supply issues:<br />

• It is feasible that the oil price assumption may lead to higher non-OPEC supply<br />

than portrayed in the Reference Case. This scenario therefore assumes greater<br />

responsiveness to these prices;<br />

• This scenario also entails more supply coming from shale oil and NGLs in the<br />

US;<br />

• In Chapter 3, it was noted that USGS estimates of the URR have increased. The<br />

Reference Case has used these new figures to consolidate the estimated feasibility<br />

of the supply potential from non-OPEC crude oil and NGLs. However, it is also<br />

possible that the higher resource estimates should be associated with stronger<br />

non-OPEC oil supply, and this is assumed in the scenario;<br />
