Thailand Country Analysis Brief
Feb 14, 2013
Thailand is a net importer of oil and natural gas and relies on fossil fuels to meet a majority of its primary energy consumption. The country’s natural gas production has expanded in the past two decades to meet increasing demand from the power sector and other industries. In response to the growing demand, the government seeks to promote alternative energy sources to diversify its fuel mix as well as increase investment in upstream oil and gas developments.
Short-Term Energy Outlook Supplement: Key drivers for EIA's short-term U.S. crude oil production outlook
Feb 14, 2013
Crude oil production increased by 790,000 barrels per day (bbl/d) between 2011 and 2012, the largest increase in annual output since the beginning of U.S. commercial crude oil production in 1859. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects U.S. crude oil production to continue rising over the next two years represented in the Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO).
Gabon Country Analysis Brief
Feb 13, 2013
Gabon is the sixth-largest oil producer in Sub-Saharan Africa. Aging oil fields, coupled with the lack of major new finds, have caused oil output to decline by about one-third since its peak in 1997. However, the rate of decline has slowed in recent years, as international oil companies operating in the country invested in life-expansion projects at mature fields and brought online moderate levels of new production. Currently, there is heightened interest in Gabon’s offshore pre-salt potential. Since 2011, there have been a few discoveries; however, appraisal and exploratory drilling will continue to determine whether field development at those sites is economically viable.
Short-Term Energy Outlook - Market Prices and Uncertainty Report
Feb 12, 2013
Crude oil prices moved higher in January and out of the trading range they had been in for much of fourth quarter 2012 (Figure 1). The Brent front month futures contract averaged $112.35 per barrel in January, an increase of about $3 per barrel from its December average, and denoted the highest monthly average for the crude oil benchmark since September 2012. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil front month futures prices also increased in January, averaging $94.83 per barrel. Prices also continued to move higher in early February.
Short-Term Energy Outlook
Feb 12, 2013
EIA expects that the Brent crude oil spot price, which averaged $112 per barrel in 2012 and rose to $119 per barrel in early February 2013, will average $109 per barrel in 2013 and $101 per barrel in 2014. The projected discount of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil to Brent, which averaged $18 per barrel in 2012, averages $9 per barrel in 2014 as planned new pipeline capacity lowers the cost of moving midcontinent crude oil to the Gulf Coast refining centers.
Saudi Arabia Country Analysis Brief
Feb 11, 2013
Saudi Arabia was the world’s largest producer and exporter of total petroleum liquids in 2012, the world’s largest holder of crude oil reserves, and the world’s second largest crude oil producer behind Russia. It is the largest consumer of petroleum in the Middle East, particularly in the area of transportation fuels and direct burn for power generation. Domestic consumption growth has been spurred by the economic boom due to historically high oil prices and large fuel subsidies. Saudi Arabia was the world’s 13th largest consumer of total primary energy in 2009, of which about 60 percent was petroleum-based.
South China Sea Regional Analysis Brief
Feb 7, 2013
Stretching from Singapore and the Strait of Malacca in the southwest to the Strait of Taiwan in the northeast, the South China Sea is one the most important trade routes in the world and a potential source of hydrocarbons, particularly natural gas. Several of the countries bordering the sea declare ownership of two island chains, the Spratly and Paracel Islands, to claim the surrounding sea and its resources. Almost a third of global crude oil and over half of global LNG trade passes through the sea.

Feb 1, 2013
Over the last two years, Turkey has seen the fastest growth in energy demand in the OECD, and unlike a number of other OECD countries in Europe, its economy has avoided the prolonged stagnation that has characterized much of the continent for the past few years. Concurrent with the economic growth, the country has experienced a sharp increase in energy demand and has increased its imports of oil, natural gas, and coal.

Congo (Brazzaville) Country Analysis Brief
Jan 31, 2013
Congo (Brazzaville) is the fifth-largest oil producer in Sub-Saharan Africa. A vast majority of oil exploration activities and production in Congo comes from offshore fields, which many also contain associated natural gas. New deepwater production that started in 2008 helped to temporarily reverse declining output. However, most of the country’s oil fields are maturing and any future boost to production depends on field development at deepwater areas and new discoveries. The Italian company Eni is also pursuing exploration and development of oil sands in the south of Congo.
