Quick answers

Why can OPEC announcements differ from physical supply?

Announcements describe policy intent. Physical supply depends on capacity, maintenance, domestic consumption, sanctions, compliance, export logistics, and whether buyers want the available grades.

What is spare capacity?

Spare capacity is production that can be brought online within a practical timeframe. It matters because credible spare capacity can dampen geopolitical risk premiums.

How does PetroEyes map OPEC context?

PetroEyes separates production, consumption, supply balance, and trade routes so readers can see whether barrels exist, where demand sits, and how flows could move.
