Crude EnveEitor; overhang
One of the lingering challenges in tightening global crude balances, and thus
pricing, is the significant crude inventory overhang, with estimated OECD
crude inventories currently at 1030 MMbbls (excluding gov't stocks), or 45%
above the 5 year average. We anticipate crude inventory levels to increase
though mid 2016 as increasing non-OPEC supply is brought on-stream and as
US onshore production gradually adjusts to a new 'normal'. The pace of
inventory builds is anticipated to peak in 2O15 with inventory levels anticipated
to dip modestly in 4O15 prior to heeding into weaker seasonal demand in the
1st half of 2016. At its peak (in 2O16) we expect accumulated crude
inventories post 4O14 to reach 500 mbbls or -17.5% of annualized 2O15
production. While on first blush this may seemingly present a significant
headwind to our outlook, we contend that a) relative to historical levels we
aren't visiting new ground, and b) low commodity driven demand growth and
lower product inventory levels will largely mitigate against the risk.

While current OECD crude inventories are -45% of 5 yr averages, product
inventories are essentially flattish to historicals offering some potential relief to
the crude overhang. Further we would note that looking at absolute inventory
levels without regard to the role of demand trends as incomplete. Looking
historically at incremental 000 global product demand growth vs. implied
crude inventory builds, we find that movements in global crude stocks closely
led those in product demand (by a quarter) in the data set we looked at.
Further, when adjusting for demand, OECD product inventories look more
poised to potentially absorb increasing crude stocks as the lEA estimates
product growing annually by -1200 mbpd.
