International group says oil supply will slowly tighten
– canadianbusiness.com
An international group representing oil-importing countries warns that the global supply of oil could fall short of demand after 2020 and push prices higher.
There is a worldwide glut of oil now, and the International Energy Agency says the supply looks adequate for the next three years thanks to rising production in the U.S. and a few other nations.
But the group says that supply growth will slow after 2020, with a drop in spare production capacity expected unless new projects are approved soon.
Investment in new projects fell during a slump in oil prices that began in mid-2014. In addition, OPEC members agreed to short-term cuts to boost prices.
Global energy demand is still rising, with about half the increase in China and India, but it’s growing at a slower rate than a few years ago.
The international group, whose members include the U.S. and other oil-importing nations, issued its latest five-year forecast at a major energy conference Monday in Houston.
Oil prices bottomed in early 2016 below $30 a barrel but have risen into the mid-$50s…
