"The Return of Realism in Global Oil Forecasts: A Critique of the International Energy Agency World Energy Outlook 2025"
We released our latest report on January 27, 2026. This briefing examines the core assumptions embedded in the WEO, assesses their realism, and explores how alternative—but credible—assumptions lead to very different outcomes for global oil markets, energy security, and economic stability.
Watch report authors Neil Atkinson (Visiting Fellow at NCEA, Former Head of IEA Oil Markets Division) and Adam Sieminski (Senior Advisor at KAPSARC, Former Administrator U.S. Energy Information Administration under President Barack H. Obama) as well as Robert “Bob” McNally, founder of Rapidan Energy Group and former White House energy advisor to President George W. Bush.
