This article explores the global oil outlook for 2019 and its implications for the Appalachian gas industry. Topics covered include the forecast and review of oil and gas markets, pipeline construction outlook, long-term market changes, and the importance of gas producers paying attention to oil. The article also discusses global oil demand, supply, OPEC production, the IMO 2020 rule, US oil demand and supply, Permian basin developments, US oil imports and exports, US refining, US gas production and trade, debottlenecking Permian gas and NGL, and Appalachian gas pipeline delays.

Oil supply management The oil market seems to crave coordinated supply management December 2018 agreement: Cut 1.2 MMb/d from October levels, 800 Mb/d OPEC, 400 Mb/d non-OPEC OPEC production; world supply Inventories * Source: OGJ F&R *OPEC+ cuts started Jan. 2017 Vienna, Dec. 2016: Cuts of 1.2 MMb/d by 12 OPEC members, 600 Mb/d by 10 nonmembers, effective Jan. 2017. Production surged late 2018 to compensate for losses from Venezuela, others, expected from Iranian sanctions scheduled for November but waived for 6 months.
The oil market’s uncertain variables • Middle Eastern unrest • US disengagement • Saudi turbulence (Yemen quagmire, Jamal Khashoggi murder, economic and cultural reform, Aramco IPO) • Blockade of Qatar and weakening of GCC • Iranian expansionism (Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon) and sanctions • Maneuvers for influence by Russia, China, Turkey • Eastern Mediterranean gas discoveries • Global economic growth • IMO 2020

What it means • Oil market remains dependent on supply management • Middle Eastern instability hampers but hasn’t impaired supply management • Shale makes US a net gas exporter, nearly a net oil exporter, a growing exporter of NGL • NGL dominates US pipeline construction outlook • Long-term oil demand very sensitive to climate-related regulation • Long-term growth in oil demand dominated by petrochemicals • Gas-production growth means more NGLs, which will compete with oil in petrochemical market
