* Firm projects exclude additions resulting from capacity creep.<br />

of firm capacity additions are in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, with the balance<br />

spread across other regions (with the exception of Europe).<br />

Looked at another way, total additions of 6.7 mb/d through 2015 are well in<br />

excess of the projected demand increase of 4 mb/d for that period. By 2020, this situation<br />

starts to invert and, in the long-term, cumulative refining capacity additions<br />

settle at around 75% of cumulative demand growth. This is to be expected since, in<br />

the Reference Case, non-crude supplies – NGLs, biofuels, CTLs/GTLs, petrochemical<br />

returns – satisfy around 25% of the total ‘liquids’ demand, leaving only 75% to be<br />

met by crude-based refining. Thus, today’s projects potentially represent a substantial<br />

proportion of the total additions that will be needed over the next 10-to-15 years. It is<br />

important to remember, however, that these projections entail a combination of new<br />

capacity additions in non-OECD regions, especially in Asia, at rates that are much<br />

closer to increases in regional demand levels.<br />

Table 7.2 presents the global and regional outlook in terms of refinery crude<br />

throughputs and utilizations. Obviously, future capacity additions and refinery<br />

throughputs are affected by the same set of factors. Therefore, moderate future<br />
