O.P.E.C.
OPEC statistics are roughly divided into three categories or “Oil Market Reports.” The first of these, “Market Indicators,” provides a monthly snapshot of statistics on spot prices, supply and demand, freight rates, and others. An historical archive going back to 2001 is available from the site. OPEC’s “Monthly Oil Market Report” is a more detailed analysis of the world economy and energy. It includes detailed information on oil futures, refinery products and operations, world supply and demand, rig counts, the tanker market, and stock movements. “Annual Statistics Bulletin” is an extensive collection of statistics on production, refining, consumption, exploration, reserves, tankers, pipelines, prices, imports, and exports. While the information in all of these reports is usually OPEC-centered there are often statistics available for non-OPEC countries as well, particularly those that produce or consume large quantities of petroleum.
