However, growth is expected to slowdown as economic landscape dragged down overall demand. Light ends demand especially gasoline shoots up in 2015 and expected to remain strong towards 2016 while gasoil growth which more related to global economy falls behind.

Total CDU and Condensate Splitter Capacity Additions/Closure Africa Europe FSU Middle East Latin America North America Asia Total Slowing global economy causes projects stalling. Lower refining capacity additions than earlier is expected before oil prices begin to flatter, especially in China. High crude inventories will continue to give refinery sector an edge over other sector in the energy business.

16 BALANCE MMBD Converging and rebalancing During 2014 to 2015 was the longest streak of oversupply market. Supply and demand already started to converge and form a new balance of oil price Q15 2Q15 3Q15 4Q15 1Q16 2Q16 3Q16 4Q16 Demand Supply Assuming OPEC production at 31.1 MMBD before rising gradually in 2Q16 as Iran cargoes hit the market Starting from 4Q 15, fundamentals will start to converge to a new equilibrium. However, an inevitable supply from Iran will still push the rebalancing further to In 2015 and 2016, the world will experience two consecutive years of Capex cut. Thus, in 2017 price needs to go up in order to support new projects and maintain production. Source: PTT International Market Analysis Team, DOE, IEA, OPEC, PIRA 16
