LONDON (ICIS news)--The International Energy Agency (IEA) has cut its 2008 forecast for global oil demand by 390,000 bbl/day to 86.8m bbl/day on slower economic growth and record high prices, it said in its monthly report on Tuesday.
Non-OECD demand was expected to grow by 1.4m bbl/day in 2008 driven by
April oil supply fell by 400,000 bbl/day month on month to 86.8m bbl/day, pulled lower by North Sea outages, lower former
OPEC crude supply averaged 31.9m bbl/day. It was 255,000 bbl/day below March, impacted by strike action and pipeline sabotage in
End-March OECD industry stocks dropped by 1.3m barrels.
The April global refinery crude throughput of 72.8m bbl/day was seen as a seasonal trough by the IEA, with output stifled by poor economics and maintenance.
