- Additional crude production capacity by some OPEC member states will be consumed by production shortfalls in others
- Spare capacity will remain relatively low; We project it to rise from 2.6 million b/d in 2012 (IEA, average effective) to 3.2 million b/d in 2013
- In 2018, we see effective spare capacity between 3.6 - 4.1 million b/d
