New gross supply additions from Megaprojects.

Percentage of new supply additions (2003-2018) per country. The "Others" category includes countries with less than 1% contribution.

Liquid additions by category coming from oil megaprojects: NGL=Natural Gas Liquids, unconventional=Bitumen, synthetic oil from tar sands, GTL, etc.. Projects with no specified category were added to the crude oil/condensate group.

[edit] Application to oil supply forecasting

Number of oil fields discovered per decades grouped by average flow rates (left) and corresponding oil volumes (right) in giga-barrels (Gb). Data taken from the annexe B of "Twilight in the Desert" by Matthew Simmons[1].

A series of project tabulations and analyses by Chris Skrebowski, editor of Petroleum Review, have presented a more pessimistic picture of future oil supply. In a 2004 report,[2] based on an analysis of new projects over 100 thousand barrels/day (kbd), he argued that although ample supply might be available in the near-term, after 2007 "the volumes of new production for this period are well below likely requirements." By 2006,[3] although "the outlook for future supply appears somewhat brighter than even six months ago", nonetheless, if "all the factors reducing new capacity come into play, markets will remain tight and prices high. Only if new capacity flows into the system rather more rapidly than of late, will there be any chance of rebuilding spare capacity and softening prices."

The smallest fields, even in aggregate, do not contribute a large fraction of the total. For example, a relatively small number of giant and super-giant oilfields are providing almost half of the world production.[1]

[edit] Decline rates

Main article: Oil depletion

The most important variable is the average decline rate for Fields in Production (FIP) which is difficult to assess.[4][5][6]
