Thank you Stuart.  Great post here.  I think the fact that oil exporters dominate the list of counrties experiencing energy consumption increases serves like so much else we've seen to boost Westexas' theory about the world's export capacity being of a greater immediate concern to consuming nations than world oil production.

Note that Stuart has recently documented:  (1)  falling oil production in Russia and Saudi Arabia (at least through the first few months of 2006) and (2)  rising consumption in Russia and Saudi Arabia.

In regard to the 2005 oil consumption decline in the US, I wonder how much of that was due to hurricane damage to refineries?

That's what I thought too. What's the increase/decrease consumption data look like for previous years for oil importers?

Except that exports grew in 2005.
