Non-OECD +2%. China gasoline and diesel have been falling for two years; petrochemicals still add barrels.
US LNG
+27%
Largest LNG exporter. The 2028–30 wave of US and Qatari trains is already in the capital stock.
Gas demand

Below the 10-year average. Europe, the Middle East and North America grew; Asia-Pacific was flat.
Import dependence
73–86%
China, Europe and India imported 73%, 75% and 86% of the oil they burned. Seaborne trade is the fiscal nerve.

Spot, cracks, freight and the loading programmes that move them. The physical market, not the futures pit.
The 2030s
Three oil markets, one LNG wave.
STEPS still peaks oil near 102 mb/d around 2030. US and Qatari LNG trains sanctioned in 2023–25 start up into 2028–30 regardless.
Next
Three oil futures. One physical market this quarter.
Current Policies, Stated Policies and Net Zero 2050 disagree on oil after 2030. They agree that the Americas, LNG and emerging Asia decide the next decade.
