Short-Term Energy Outlook - Market Prices and Uncertainty Report
Dec 9, 2014
Both international and domestic crude oil prices moved sharply lower over the previous five weeks. The North Sea Brent front month futures price settled at $82.86/bbl on November 6, a decline of $11.30/bbl from October 1. The front month West Texas Intermediate (WTI) contract price settled at $77.91/bbl on November 6, decreasing by $12.82/bbl since the start of October. November marked the lowest level of Brent prices since September 2010 and the lowest level for WTI prices since October 2011.
Short-Term Energy Outlook
Dec 9, 2014
North Sea Brent crude oil spot prices fell from $95/barrel (bbl) on October 1 to $84/bbl at the end of the month. The causes included weakening outlooks for global economic and oil demand growth, the return to the market of previously disrupted Libyan crude oil production, and continued growth in U.S. tight oil production. Brent crude oil spot prices averaged $87/bbl in October, the first month Brent prices have averaged below $90/bbl since November 2010. EIA projects that Brent crude oil prices will average $83/bbl in 2015, $18/bbl lower than forecast in last month's STEO. There is significant uncertainty over the crude oil price forecast because of the range of potential supply responses from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), particularly Saudi Arabia, and U.S. tight oil producers to the new lower oil price environment.
Drilling Productivity Report
Dec 8, 2014
EIA’s monthly Drilling Productivity Report (DPR) has been released.

Oman Country Analysis Brief
Dec 5, 2014
Oman is the largest oil and natural gas producer in the Middle East that is not a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), and is an important oil exporter, particularly to Asian markets. Accounting for OPEC countries, Oman has the 7th largest proved oil reserves in the Middle East and is the 5th largest dry natural gas producer in the Middle East. Oman’s annual crude oil production peaked in 2000 at 970,000 bbl/d but dropped significantly in 2007 to 710,000 bbl/d before recovering to average 945,000 bbl/d in 2013. The arrest in the decline is attributed to Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques and recent discoveries. Today the country’s hydrocarbon sector accounts for roughly 86% of government revenues. Oman exports roughly 63% (410 Bcf) of the country’s total capacity of natural gas as liquefied natural gas (LNG) via two liquefaction facilities while using the remainder to mainly fuel electricity generation in the country. EOR techniques are slowly cutting down on the need for natural gas to recover tight oil from many of Oman’s exploration blocks.
