Thirty percent drop in demand May 2020. 100 % demand for line…
The Covid-19 restrictions caused a drop in demand and perhaps will change habits and expectations for consumption.
The size and complexity of the global crude oil market has expanded significantly since the Trans Mountain Pipeline entered service in the 1950s. Canada is the fourth largest oil producing country globally, behind the United States, Russia and Saudi Arabia and approximately equivalent to Iraq in terms of daily oil production. Canada’s oil consumption is comparatively small, so our nation is a net exporter of petroleum products and crude oil. Canada has the third largest proven crude oil reserves globally behind Saudi Arabia and Venezuela as a result of the approximate 170-billion-barrel oilsands. Export of crude oil and refined products has been, and will continue to be, a significant economic impact for Canada.

In 2019, global crude oil and liquid hydrocarbon production and related demand was nearly 100 million barrels per day. The COVID-19 pandemic decreased global demand for oil roughly 30 per cent by May 2020[1]. Implicit in studies such as the Internal Energy Agency (IEA) on Global Demand see support for an expected recovery in demand, however, the pace of recovery is unclear given the uncertainty associated with the course of the COVID-19 virus[2]. Even in this difficult year of 2020 with reduced global demand resulting from COVID-19 and lower oil prices, the Trans Mountain Pipeline has continued to be full, with demand exceeding the current capacity.

The aviation sector consumed almost 8% of oil products globally in 2019, or almost 7.5 million barrels per day according to Bloomberg NEF’s 2020 Aviation Fuel Outlook. In 2020, Covid-19 has grounded much of the world’s aircraft, leading to almost a halving of fuel consumption. Long-term, however, appetite for air travel should continue to grow. With few alternatives and without significant policy intervention, air miles will continue to be powered by fossil fuels. This research note analyzes the key themes driving consumption of aviation fuels to 2050.

Good luck on your driving habits and stay safe remember the Restrictions on travel this Christmas.
