Only limited uptick in global upstream spending
Producers spend more on short cycle supply, especially US LTO.
Investments in conventional fields remain depressed, but some signs of renewed interest in offshore.

Booming non-OPEC supply growth reshapes world oil market…
…more than covers demand growth for next three years. By 2023, non-OPEC supply grows by 5.2 mb/d. OPEC
oil capacity rises only 1.2 mb/d due to Venezuelan collapse and limited increases elsewhere.

Conclusions
• Robust world oil demand growth to 2023 driven mainly by petrochemicals – a key
driver
• Non-OPEC output growth exceeds demand increase through 2020.
• US, Brazil, Canada, Norway dominate growth. New infrastructure investments relieve
US export bottlenecks.
• US crude finds new markets as refiners seek light, low sulphur crude to meet
petrochemical demand and IMO specifications.
• More upstream investment needed today to meet future demand and offset 3 mb/d
of declines from mature oil fields each year.
• As spare capacity cushion shrinks, supply security concerns remain critical.
