PFC Energy's long-term scenarios describe three alternative pathways through 2030 for the global oil industry. The scenarios include the supply of crude oil, the demand for a wide range of oil products, production capacities in OPEC and non-OPEC countries, crude prices, product prices, refining margins and crude flows. PFC Energy produces and updates these scenarios using a comprehensive, iterative process that incorporates a broad array of quantitative and qualitative industry drivers and uses the firm's extensive suite of complex, interlinked models and databases.
We deliver the scenarios in a number of different formats, depending on client needs. These range from interactive client workshops to detailed quantitative projections. Individual clients may customize the scenarios by incorporating different assumptions or constraints and/or focusing in greater detail on their implications for specific sectors, products or geographical regions.
Clients use PFC Energy's long-term oil scenarios to support their business decision making and risk assessment in many different ways:
