Azerbaijan, Baku, Sept. 8 / Trend , A.Badalova/
From 2009 to 2013, world oil demand will grow by 3.7 million barrels per day - from 84.2 million to 87.9 million barrels, said an OPEC report on the oil market for 2009.
In 2010, OPEC predicts that world oil demand will rise slightly - by 0.4 million barrels per day. The main factor influencing the demand, as the report says, remains the low level of world economic growth.
Demand for oil in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) will shrink, becoming 45.5 million bpd in 2010 and 47.5 million bpd in 2008, the OPEC reported.
The only source of oil demand growth will be developing countries where, according to the OPEC forecasts, oil demand will up from 33.1 million bpd in 2009 to 37.1 million bpd in 2013.
In the long term, OPEC forecasts a 15.4 million barrels per day increase in world oil demand, from 90.2 million bpd in 2015 to 105.6 million bpd in 2030.
Moreover, in the medium-term, the main growth in world oil demand will be provided by developing countries, where demand will increase from 39.3 million bpd in 2015 to 56.1 million bpd in 2030.
According to the OPEC forecasts, in the medium term, the volume of the world supplies will increase from 84.7 million barrels per day in 2010 to 88.2 million barrels in 2013.
A total of 51.4 million barrels of the total oil supply in 2013 will account for non-OPEC countries.
"It is expected that the total supply from petroleum exporting countries, which are not part of OPEC, will continue to grow slightly in the medium term. The growth of these countries' supplies from 2008 to 2013, which is considerably lower than previous forecasts, will be a little more than one million barrels per day," the OPEC report says.
