  • SPECIAL REPORT: Oil market heading for surprises in ’08

    This year the oil market will see a few surprises. Commodity price volatility will continue, but it will moderate, and prices will move lower.

    The US economy will grow at a much slower pace than during 2007, and there is still some risk of entering a recession this year. That risk is abated, though, by the strength of US exports. The weak dollar relative to other major currencies will drive strong export demand this year.

    As motor gasoline prices decline, gasoline consumption will strengthen again following 2 years of flat demand. Demand growth will be muted, though, as inflation across consumer spending dents personal spending power.

  • Global oil markets will likely remain tight through 2008, then ease moderately in 2009. EIA projects that world oil demand will continue to grow faster than oil supply outside of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in 2008, leaving OPEC and inventories to offset the upward pressure on prices. In 2009, higher non-OPEC production and planned additions to OPEC capacity should relieve some of the tightness in the market. As a result, the level of surplus production capacity is projected to grow from its current level of under 2 million barrels per day (bbl/d) to more than 4 million bbl/d by the end of 2009.
  • The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil spot price approached $100 per barrel twice over the last 6 weeks, reaching $99.16 per barrel on November 20 and $99.64 per barrel, a record price in nominal terms, on January 2, after falling below $90 in mid-December. Recent high prices and large price swings reflect the current tight and volatile world crude oil market. The WTI price is expected to average $94 per barrel in January 2008. The WTI price, which averaged $72 per barrel in 2007, is expected to average about $87 per barrel in 2008 and $82 in 2009.
  • Retail prices for petroleum products are expected to increase in 2008, pushed up by the higher average crude oil prices. Both motor gasoline and diesel prices are projected to average over $3 per gallon in 2008 and 2009, with monthly average gasoline prices peaking near $3.50 per gallon this spring.
  • The Henry Hub natural gas spot price averaged $7.17 per thousand cubic feet (mcf) in 2007 and is expected to average $7.78 per mcf in 2008 and $7.92 per mcf in 2009.
