Key takeaways Oil prices: EIA’s forecast for Brent averages $58/b in 2015 and $75/b in 2016. The market-implied 95% confidence band for Brent (estimated from WTI futures and options prices) is extremely wide – with a range from $35/b to $100/b across 2015-2016.
Demand: Non-OECD Asia accounts for more than 50% of forecast liquids consumption growth of roughly 1 million b/d both 2015 and 2016; lower demand growth is a major a downside risk to the price forecast
U.S. oil production: Lower-48 oil production in 4Q2015 and 1Q2016 is only slightly above its 4Q2014 level; however, offshore production continues to grow steadily
The economy and consumers: EIA’s energy forecast reflects a U.S. economic growth outlook for 2015-16 that is somewhat stronger than 2013-14 experience.
• Relatively low oil prices and increased energy efficiency Energy expenditures as a share of GDP are forecast at 6.2% in 2015, their lowest level since 2002, reflecting both lower oil prices and energy efficiency.
• Average U.S. household (20,800 miles of vehicle travel) projected gasoline spending is $750 less in 2015 than in 2014, and about $450 less in 2016 than in 2014.

Lower oil prices are expected to provide an immediate boost to the economy • Starting from a base price of roughly $100 per barrel, a $10 drop in oil
prices sustained for four quarters is estimated to raise real GDP by about 0.22% above baseline; if the drop in oil prices is sustained for a second year, the level of real GDP in that year averages 0.34% above baseline
• Estimated GDP impacts presented above are roughly scalable for drops of $20 or $30 per barrel; in the latter case the average level of GDP in the second year would be roughly 1% above baseline.
• If oil prices drop and then return to previous levels, GDP begins to return as well; the speed in which GDP adjusts depends on the oil price trajectory
• Estimated percentage impacts of an oil price drop on consumer prices and unemployment are generally smaller than impacts on GDP, and also tend to decrease in the second year as increased demand puts pressure on prices of other goods

Long-term scenarios Our preliminary analysis contrasts a sustained lower price case (LPC), real prices in the neighborhood of $70 per barrel through 2040, with a higher price case (HPC) where real prices rise steadily towards $150 per barrel in 2040.
• While temporarily lower oil prices are expected to have only a small impact on the level of domestic oil production through 2020, projected long-term U.S. crude oil production in the LPC is well below the HPC outlook
• Projected U.S. net dependence on imported oil in 2040 widens from about 15% in the HPC to 35-40% in the LPC
• Projected natural gas supply growth is much lower in the LPC than in the HPC, reflecting both lower coproduction supply and lower demand for LNG exports
• Sustained lower world oil prices significantly affects the economics of U.S. LNG exports; in the LPC there are no new liquefaction plant starts beyond those already under construction
• Energy-related carbon dioxide emissions in 2040 are roughly 200 MMT above their projected HPC level in the LPC

Tri-lateral cooperation: Canada, Mexico, & United States memorandum of understanding signed 12/15/2014 1) Reconciliation of import and export information on energy flows. The working group would develop a cross reference for terminology and a table of conversion factors across the three countries. EIA would propose subcategories of+ crude oil, refined products, natural gas and electricity.
2) GIS mapping. The working group would establish a standard format, sourcing protocols and a mechanism for file/data sharing. Each party would provide its public map layers to each partner, while asking them to provide theirs. It would then be up to each party to decide if and how they want to display the information they receive from the other parties.
3) Outlooks for crossborder flows of fuels. EIA would propose that we begin by sharing information among the three partners regarding recent historical data and outlooks for cross border flows of oil, natural gas, and electricity. The information exchange would also provide some brief information on broader energy measures -- production and consumption of the energy commodities – as well as information on some of the key outlook drivers – economic and population growth.
