The Oil Drum: Oilwatch Monthly

This edition focuses on exports of all fuel liquids including conventional + unconventional crude oil, natural gas liquids, lease condensates, gas-to-liquids, coal-to-liquids and biofuels.

Three main conclusions have been found based on available data from January 2002 to February 2007:

1) Total world exports of all fuel liquids have been on a plateau since the end of 2004, and declined slightly in the last year, despite production increases.

2) Liquids exports from non-OPEC countries as a whole have declined since the beginning of 2004.

3) OPEC liquids exports have increased until the end of 2005, followed by a short plateau after which a slow decline set in, mainly due to declining production in Saudi Arabia.
