Exxon Global Outlook: 2050 Oil Demand Will Match Today’s 100+ MMBpd

ExxonMobil published its annual “The Global Outlook” yesterday, the company’s latest view of energy demand and supply through 2050. The document forms the basis for Exxon’s business planning and is “underpinned by a deep understanding of long-term market fundamentals.” Exxon is making short-term decisions based on this long-term document. And what does this document say? It says oil and natural gas in 2023 was 56% of all energy produced. In 2050, some 25 years from now, that number is virtually unchanged at 54% of all energy produced. Today, more than 100 million barrels per day (MMBpd) of oil is produced and used. In 2050, it will be the same.
