Document summary

While global oil demand is projected to grow, supply on the non-OPEC side is likely to drop through 2014 though volumes will probably flatten rather than contract. For OPEC supply, decline rates are increasing too. As a result prices are unlikely to fall much below $80/bbl through 2016 and could even spike to $220/bbl to further slow down demand.
