The North America Oil Market Quarterly

The North America Quarterly, published by Energy Aspects, covers all important aspects of the oil markets in the region, with a particular focus on the growth of shale and gas.

With over 80 pages of data and analysis, the North America Quarterly provides comprehensive tables and charts with up-to-date information on pipeline projects to and from cushing, rail capacity, US Midwest balances, product demand, crude imports by grade, shale plays by basin, the latest production data including rig counts and technological and regulatory developments affecting the domestic oil industry.

Each edition also places several specific topics in focus, for the November edition these are:

Romney vs. Obama: decisions faced by the next US President, including authorising crude and gas exports, along with other energy policy choices

The outlook for WTI-Brent price differentials, with an assessment of the impact that increases in midstream pipeline and rail capacity will have over the course of 2013 and beyond

Exploring how the US refining industry will cope with the growth of super-light shale oil production, which is mismatched to the heavy crude upgrading capacity that has been introduced by Gulf Coast and Midwest refiners in recent years

An analysis of the 2013 price hedging activity of US independent oil producers and what this signals for the cost of shale production

The Quarterly is designed to be the most comprehensive guide available on shale production, midstream projects and their impact on WTI balances and the US refining industry.
