The statistics form the foundation of EIA's international analyses and forecasts, and provide a context for understanding international energy markets. The IEO is provided as a service to energy managers and analysts, both in government and in the private sector. Energy use and carbon emissions projections are presented on a regional level, with 8 separate country groupings and 14 individual countries covered. World oil market analysis is driven by forecasts of world oil market fundamentals, including the status of world inventories, non-OPEC production, OPEC production potential, and world demand prospects. Supporting analysis includes fact sheets on exports from OPEC, non-OPEC, and the former Soviet Union, plus monthly and annual oil market chronologies.
Many CABs also contain expanded sections on energy-related environmental issues.
