What it means Oil market remains dependent on supply management Middle Eastern instability hampers but hasn’t impaired supply management Shale makes US a net gas exporter, nearly a net oil exporter, a growing exporter of NGL NGL dominates US pipeline construction outlook Long-term oil demand very sensitive to climate-related regulation Long-term growth in oil demand dominated by petrochemicals Gas-production growth means more NGLs, which will compete with oil in petrochemical market
