IEA Oil Market Report February 2010

"Forecast global oil demand is revised up 170 kb/d for 2010 as more robust IMF GDP projections are partly offset by a higher price assumption and persistently weak OECD oil demand. Global oil demand is estimated at 84.9 mb/d in 2009 (-1.5% or -1.3 mb/d year-on-year) and 86.5 mb/d in 2010 (+1.8% or +1.6 mb/d versus 2009), with growth entirely in non-OECD countries.

Global oil supply fell 45 kb/d to 85.8 mb/d in January, with higher total OPEC output (mostly NGLs) offset by lower non-OPEC production. Average 2009 non-OPEC production is revised 70 kb/d higher at 51.4 mb/d while 2010 supply is revised up by 120 kb/d to 51.6 mb/d on slightly improved US and North Sea crude prospects."
