Oilwatch Monthly – June 2007
Rembrandt Koppelaar, The Oil Drum
This edition focuses on exports of all fuel liquids including conventional + unconventional crude oil, natural gas liquids, lease condensates, gas-to-liquids, coal-to-liquids and biofuels. The June newsletter can be downloaded at this weblink (PDF size 1 megabyte).
Three main conclusions have been found based on available data from January 2002 to February 2007:
- Total world exports of all fuel liquids have been on a plateau since the end of 2004, and declined slightly in the last year, despite production increases.
- Liquids exports from non-OPEC countries as a whole have declined since the beginning of 2004.
- OPEC liquids exports have increased until the end of 2005, followed by a short plateau after which a slow decline set in, mainly due to declining production in Saudi Arabia.
Next months edition will return to production data with the inclusion of the export assessment. A definite format for the newsletter is still being found at this stage. All suggestions for additional analysis and data inclusion next to liquids/crude oil production, stock and export data will be taken into consideration.
A permanent basis for the monthly newsletter has been made on the Oildrum under the following webadress: www.theoildrum.com/tag/oilwatch , with thanks to Super G. There all the previous editions can be found in order from newest to oldest. Feel free to use this newsletter in writing and communication as long as you cite the following: Rembrandt Koppelaar, Oilwatch Monthly June 2007, The Oildrum & ASPO Netherlands.
