Tech is shaking up the oil industry and has propelled the U.S. to the top of the oil reserves list for the first time in decades.
Thanks to technological advancements, the U.S. now has more recoverable oil than any other nation.
In addition to steadily climbing consumption, developing nations continue to account for more and more of the world’s energy production. Meanwhile, in North America, a boom in domestic crude oil production moved the region past Saudi Arabia in 2014, while new extraction technologies have North America on the cusp of taking the lead in global gas production.
By 2040, the developing world will account for 65 percent of the world’s energy consumption.
Energy production and consumption totals are critical to understanding market behavior in developed and developing economies.
In China, for instance, projections have oil production and consumption both trending upward. However, the pace of consumption is expected to far surpass production, to the tune of more than 11,000 barrels a day by 2020.
To power the energy markets of tomorrow, producers must not only be aware of the risks ahead, but also face them head-on. CME Group plays a central role in helping market participants around the world balance the ongoing dynamics of supply and demand as they face these dramatic and broad-reaching changes.
