  • Energy Information Administration (“EIA”) forecasts and expectations are derived from its February 2026 Short-Term Energy Outlook (“February 2026 STEO”), which was published on February 10, 2026.
  • The level of services we provide and the amount of hydrocarbons we purchase and sell continue to be driven by supply and demand fundamentals for hydrocarbon products.
  • These dynamics affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
  • Entering 2026, global liquid hydrocarbon markets have shifted into a modest surplus as non-Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“non-OPEC”) supply growth, together with the scheduled easing of OPEC and Russia (collectively, the “OPEC+” group) production cuts, have contributed to inventory builds and placed downward pressure on liquid hydrocarbon prices relative to levels seen during 2024 and 2025.
  • Against this backdrop, broader macroeconomic conditions remain a key determinant of hydrocarbon demand.
  • Global economic growth, an important driver of demand, remains resilient but moderate.
  • In its January 2026 World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) projects global economic growth of 3.3% in 2026 and 3.2% in 2027 as headline inflation continues to ease.
  • The IMF notes that the U.S. remains a key contributor to near-term global growth amid ongoing technology investment, while Europe and other advanced economies are expected to experience more measured recoveries.
  • The IMF projects China’s economy to grow by 4.5% in 2026 as ongoing government-driven fiscal support, along with relative stabilization in trade conditions, help mitigate the effects of longer-term structural challenges.
  • Despite signs of resilience, the IMF continues to highlight risks associated with geopolitics, trade policy and uncertainty regarding productivity gains from artificial intelligence.
  • In addition to macroeconomic factors, policy developments and security considerations remain important factors affecting global energy markets.
  • Sanctions, political instability affecting certain crude oil‑exporting countries and security risks in key shipping corridors have contributed to ongoing uncertainty in global trade flows and may influence the availability, cost and routing of hydrocarbon supplies to global markets.
  • The OPEC+ group, which controls over 79% of the world’s proven crude oil reserves (as reported in the OPEC Annual Statistical Bulletin 2025), continues to have significant influence on global balances.
  • In 2024, the OPEC+ group announced that its baseline and first layer of voluntary cuts totaling 3.66 MMBPD would be extended well into 2025, and certain members agreed to extend the second layer of voluntary cuts of 2.2 MMBPD until the end of March 2025.
  • Beginning in April 2025, the OPEC+ group began unwinding the second layer of voluntary cuts at a faster than announced pace, completing a full restoration of the 2.2 MMBPD by the fall of 2025.
  • On February 1, 2026, eight OPEC+ group member nations agreed to maintain their pause of the ongoing restoration of the baseline cut and the first layer of voluntary cuts.
  • The group reiterated that these volumes could still return to the market either partially or in full, but would happen only in a gradual manner depending on evolving market conditions.
  • These OPEC+ group decisions will affect near-term balances and crude oil prices, which may influence the incentives for non-OPEC production throughout the world.
  • While these global factors shape the broader market, U.S. supply trends continue to play an important role.
  • U.S. producers achieved a new crude oil production record of 13.6 MMBPD in 2025, with the Permian Basin remaining the primary contributor to supply growth.
  • The EIA projects that 2026 U.S. crude oil output will be roughly flat due to softer prices and slower drilling activity, followed by a modest decline in 2027.
  • As of January 29, 2026, the price of West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil (as reported by New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”)) was $65.42 per barrel, largely in line with the 2025 calendar year average of $64.83 per barrel.
  • The EIA expects WTI crude oil to average $53.42 per barrel in 2026, reflecting production growth outpacing consumption and inventory builds that are expected to persist into 2027.
  • The EIA expects Permian Basin crude oil production in 2026 and 2027 to remain largely unchanged from its record level of 6.6 MMBPD in 2025 as impacts from reduced rig counts are offset by increases in production efficiency out of maturing wells.
  • Despite this forecast, we believe that natural gas and NGL production volumes will continue to grow due to rising gas-to-oil ratios (ratio of natural gas production to crude oil production) in the basin.
  • For natural gas, the EIA forecasts U.S. dry natural gas production to increase approximately 2% in 2026 to 110 Bcf/d, with additional growth of approximately 1% expected in 2027, driven primarily by Permian Basin and Haynesville growth supported by midstream additions.
  • The price of natural gas, as measured by the NYMEX at Henry Hub, was $3.92 per MMBtu as of January 29, 2026, approximately 8% above the 2025 calendar year average of $3.62 per MMBtu.

  • Energy Information Administration (“EIA”) forecasts and expectations are derived from its February 2025 Short-Term Energy Outlook (“February 2025 STEO”), which was published on February 11, 2025.
  • The level of services we provide and the amount of volumes we purchase and sell are affected by changes in supply and demand fundamentals for hydrocarbon products.
  • These fundamentals impact our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
  • During 2024, hydrocarbon supply and demand were relatively balanced as crude oil production cuts maintained by members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and Russia (collectively, the “OPEC+” group) helped offset increased production levels in the United States, Canada and South America.
  • Although crude oil prices were relatively stable and natural gas prices reflected some upward momentum in 2024, our Current Outlook acknowledges several factors that could affect the near-term balance in supply and demand.
  • Global economic growth is arguably the most significant factor influencing overall hydrocarbon supply and demand.
  • In its January 2025 World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) projected global growth at 3.3% for both 2025 and 2026.
  • Growth in the U.S. is expected to be 2.7% in 2025 as underlying consumer demand remains robust, reflecting strong wealth effects, less restrictive monetary policy and supportive financial conditions.
  • In Europe, growth in 2025 is expected to accelerate but at a gradual pace of 1.0% with geopolitical tensions weighing on sentiment, weaker momentum in manufacturing due to higher energy costs and further political and policy uncertainty.
  • China is expected to grow at 4.6% in 2025 as the fiscal stimulus package announced in November 2024 to address a slowdown in consumption largely offsets the adverse effects on investment from heightened trade policy uncertainty and the continued instability of the property market.
  • The IMF expects global headline inflation to decline to 4.2% in 2025 and further to 3.5% in 2026 as the gradual cooling of labor markets is expected to keep consumer demand pressures in check.
  • Geopolitical conflicts can also impact hydrocarbon supply and demand.
  • Sanctions imposed on Russia following its February 2022 invasion of Ukraine have largely been circumvented over time through the use of alternative trade routes to willing buyers.
  • Treasury Department to increase pressure on Russian energy revenue by imposing sanctions in January 2025 on certain oil-carrying vessels, Russian-based oilfield services providers and Russian energy officials.
  • Attacks on vessels transiting the Gulf of Aden by Houthi rebels in Yemen have disrupted shipping routes causing delays and increased shipping costs as major ship operators avoid the area and transit longer routes.
  • Treasury Department expanded sanctions on Iran’s petroleum and petrochemical sectors to limit Iran’s revenue from energy exports and disrupt its ability to fund programs that threaten peace in the Middle East.
  • In North Africa, the ongoing political instability and conflicts in Libya have periodically disrupted its oil production, refining operations and exports.
  • Further escalation of these situations has the potential to affect a significant portion of hydrocarbon supplies from Russia, the Middle East and North Africa to global markets.
  • The OPEC+ group, which controls over 80% of the world’s proven crude oil reserves (as reported in the OPEC Annual Statistical Bulletin 2024), continues to have a significant impact on the global balance of supply and demand through its decisions to cut, maintain or increase production levels.
  • During 2024, the OPEC+ group announced that its original cuts of 3.66 MMBPD would be extended well into 2025, and certain of its members agreed to extend the voluntary incremental production cuts of 2.2 MMBPD until the end of March 2025.
  • Per the agreement, these voluntary cuts will gradually be phased out on a monthly basis from that point forward until the end of September 2026.
  • Should there be discord among OPEC+ group member nations, including an unwillingness to abide by or extend the agreed-upon levels of crude oil production, global crude oil prices and production could be significantly affected.
  • U.S. crude oil and natural gas producers have continued to increase production to record levels, particularly in the Permian Basin, thanks in part to innovations in both drilling and completion techniques.
  • This growth has been dependent on the availability of both crude oil and natural gas export capacity due to limited growth in domestic consumption.
  • As of January 28, 2025, the price of West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil (as reported by New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”)) was $73.77 per barrel, slightly below the 2024 calendar year average of $75.76 per barrel.
  • The price of natural gas, as measured by the NYMEX at Henry Hub, was $3.47 per MMBtu as of January 28, 2025, which is 44% higher than the 2024 calendar year average of $2.41 per MMBtu.
  • The phase-out of certain voluntary OPEC+ group cuts starting in April 2025 could put downward pressure on crude oil prices while any delays in the start-up of facilities that are expected to expand U.S.
  • LNG export capacity in 2025 could put downward pressure on natural gas prices.
