OPEC crude oil supply in November rose to the highest level in more than
three years, up by 620 kb/d to 30.68 mb/d, with Saudi Arabia and Libya
accounting for 80% of the increase. OPEC ministers will meet on 14 December
in Vienna to review the market outlook. The ‘call on OPEC crude and stock
change’ for 2012 stands at 30.2 mb/d, near recent OPEC output levels.
A more precarious economic backdrop and weaker 4Q11 data – particularly for
OECD Europe – curb oil demand projections for 2011 and 2012 by around
0.2 mb/d. Global oil demand is expected to average 89.0 mb/d by 2011, a rise of
0.7 mb/d on 2010, before gaining a further 1.3 mb/d in 2012 to reach 90.3 mb/d.
