Non-OPEC liquids supply is expected to grow from 65.8 mb/d in 2022 to 72.7 mb/d in 2028, or by almost 7 mb/d. Incremental supply in the US makes up nearly half of this, at3.4 mb/d, with other major drivers being Brazil, Guyana, Canada, Qatar and Norway. With US liquids supply set to peak around the end of the current decade, overall non-OPEC production starts declining from the early 2030s,eventually falling to 69.9 mb/d by 2045. Guyana, Canada, Argentina, Brazil and Kazakhstan are some of the few non-OPEC producers set to expand beyond the medium-term, but non-crude liquids including biofuels and other unconventionals will also keep increasing.
OPEC liquids will rise steadily in the medium-term from 34.2 mb/d in 2022 to 37.7mb/d, and further to 46.1 mb/d by 2045. Thus, OPEC’s share of global liquids supply will increase from 34% in 2022 to 40% in 2045.
Investment requirements for the overall oil sector, between 2022 and 2045, are estimated at a cumulative $14 trillion (in 2023 $US), or around $610 billion p.a. on average. Of this, $11.1 trillion is expected to be required in the upstream sector, or an average of $480 billion p.a. Downstream and midstream requirements are estimated at $1.7 and $1.2 trillion, respectively. If these investments do not materialize, it represents a considerable challenge and risk to market stability and energy security.
