The US Power Info Administration (EIA) forecasts that liquid fuels manufacturing in Brazil, Canada, and China will improve this 12 months and subsequent, contributing to development in general non-OPEC petroleum manufacturing. In line with EIA’s June 2022 Brief-Time period Power Outlook (STEO), petroleum manufacturing within the mixed non-OPEC nations, excluding the Unites States and Russia, will improve by 3% (0.9 million barrels per day [b/d]) in 2022 and by 2% (0.8 million b/d) in 2023, in contrast with a rise of lower than 1% (0.2 million b/d) in 2021.

The US will account for about 60% of the expansion in mixed liquid fuels manufacturing in all non-OPEC nations. After the USA, EIA expects liquid fuels manufacturing to extend probably the most within the non-OPEC nations of Brazil and Canada. By the top of 2023, Brazil’s liquid fuels manufacturing will improve by 400,000 b/d, and Canada’s will improve by practically 400,000 b/d to five.9 million b/d, in response to the forecast.
For Brazil, the forecast assumes that manufacturing from six new floating manufacturing storage and offloading (FPSO) models will ramp up by way of 2023 and proceed to drive development, notably on the Sepia, Mero, and Buzios fields. As soon as they attain full capability, these FPSOs will every produce between 70,000 b/d and 180,000 b/d of liquid fuels.
EIA expects Brazil’s manufacturing to extend from 3.7 million b/d in 2021 to three.9 million b/d in 2022 and to 4.1 million b/d in 2023.
Canada’s development in crude oil and pure fuel manufacturing throughout 2022 and 2023 is pushed primarily by increasing oil sands and debottlenecking initiatives. Canada’s development is due partially to the Enbridge Line 3 crude oil pipeline enlargement (760,000 b/d capability), which turned operational in October 2021. The TransMountain pipeline enlargement challenge (890,000 b/d capability) is slated to enter service on the finish of 2022. Further Enbridge expansions and optimizations to its present pipeline system, if accomplished, will add greater than 400,000 b/d of export capability by way of 2023.
Resulting from this new pipeline capability from Enbridge and different deliberate pipeline expansions, present constraints on oil exports from Canada are anticipated to reduce by the top of 2023 and drive elevated manufacturing.
EIA forecasts that liquid fuels manufacturing in China, which elevated by 130,000 b/d in 2021, will develop by a further 170,000 b/d in 2022 and 80,000 b/d in 2023 in response to authorities requires elevated exploration and manufacturing. The remaining key sources of forecast non-OPEC manufacturing development come from Norway, Argentina, Kazakhstan, Oman, and Guyana.
US refinery utilization averages 94% in 3Q22 within the forecast, because of excessive wholesale product margins. Regardless of the expectation that refinery utilization will likely be at or close to the very best ranges up to now 5 years, operable refinery capability is about 900,000 b/d lower than on the finish of 2019. Consequently, EIA doesn’t anticipate complete refinery output of merchandise to succeed in its highest stage up to now 5 years.
International macroeconomic assumptions in STEO are from Oxford Economics and embrace international GDP development of three.1% in 2022 and three.4% in 2023, in contrast with development of 6.0% in 2021.
