Get your free OPIS 2025 Americas Oil Market Outlook to access: oil market projections for the year ahead, a special report on energy bulls, a look at what OPEC may face, and hits & misses in last year's outlook.

OPIS’s longtime oil market analysts, Tom Kloza and Denton Cinquegrana, have compiled an in-depth outlook on the downstream energy markets for the year ahead.

Here are just a few key takeaways:

  • U.S. retail gas prices in 2025 will average less than the $3.33/gal annual average posted for 2024. 
  • There always will be a better short-term place to park investment money than energy futures. These alternatives have accelerated, thanks in part to buzz about AI.
  • The combination of early 2025 cartel discipline, a seasonal high tide, the uncertainty of tariffs, and further sanctions on Iran and Venezuela may point to spring prices that represent the most lofty values that 2025 can offer to producers.
  • OPEC+ faces a daunting task with more than 5 million b/d of surplus capacity in 2025 and record production from non-OPEC countries, including the U.S., Canada, Brazil, and Guyana. 
  • We were right about 2024 being “front-end loaded, “ but Brent did not hit our $90/bbl front-end target and eventually struggled to remain above $70/bbl toward year’s end.
  • Plus, many more pivotal points for the 2025 energy landscape
