The Oil Research Programme, established in 2009, has cemented its reputation as a leading source of academic research on oil market issues. The Programme’s research group continues to produce high-quality empirical oil market research of international significance based on its core understanding of oil market dynamics and price cycles, the behaviour of oil market participants and strong background on the policy and economics of the resource-rich economies.
Oil research is disseminated via technical research papers, short energy comments, contributions to academic journals and specialised publications, and topical presentations, as well as podcasts and webinars, and has a global reach and visibility on media outlets and social media platforms.
Since January 2021, the Oil Programme launched a dedicated OIES Oil Monthly report series that offers a timely and comprehensive understating of key oil market issues, and a forward-looking perspective of key oil trends and future challenges, based on high-quality empirical research. The Oil Monthly report features our short-term oil market forecasts up to two years ahead for oil supply and demand by region/country and key product category, as well as for oil price dynamics and risks, and in-depth analysis of key trends affecting the global oil markets, refining activity and trade flows. The Oil Monthly series is accompanied by a dedicated database with projections of some 50+ data series including the underlying price forecast scenarios of the report, updated on a monthly basis.
