EIA Short Term Energy Outlook
• The June Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) remains subject to heightened levels of
uncertainty related to the ongoing economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The U.S. economy continues to rise after reaching multiyear lows in the second quarter
of 2020 (2Q20). The increase in economic activity and easing of the COVID-19 pandemic
have contributed to rising energy use. U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) declined by
3.5% in 2020 from 2019 levels. This STEO assumes U.S. GDP will grow by 6.7% in 2021
and by 4.9% in 2022. The U.S. macroeconomic assumptions in this outlook are based on
forecasts by IHS Markit. Our forecast assumes continuing economic growth and
increasing mobility as a result of the easing of the COVID-19 pandemic. Any
developments that would cause deviations from these assumptions would likely cause
energy consumption and prices to deviate from our forecast.
• Brent crude oil spot prices averaged $68 per barrel (b) in May, up $4/b from April. Brent
prices were higher in May as global oil inventories continued to decline, albeit at a
slower pace than in the first four months of the year. In the coming months, we expect
that global oil production will increase to match rising levels of global oil consumption.
The rising oil production in the forecast is largely a result of the OPEC+ decision to raise
production. We expect rising production will end the persistent global oil inventory
draws that have occurred for much of the past year and lead to relatively balanced
global oil markets in the second half of 2021 (2H21). We expect Brent prices will remain
near current levels in 3Q21, averaging $68/b. However, in 2022, we expect that
continuing growth in production from OPEC+ and accelerating growth in U.S. tight oil
production—along with other supply growth—will outpace decelerating growth in
global oil consumption and contribute to declining oil prices. Based on these factors, we
expect Brent to average $60/b in 2022.
• We expect U.S. gasoline consumption will average 9.1 million barrels per day (b/d) this
summer (April–September), which is 1.3 million b/d more than last summer but still
more than 0.4 million b/d less than summer 2019. Weekly consumption data reflect the
Colonial Pipeline outage and subsequent increase in gasoline demand, but consumption
both before and after this event indicate more gasoline demand than we had previously
forecast. Our latest forecast also reflects IHS Markit’s increased employment forecast.
• For the 2021 April–September summer driving season, we forecast U.S. regular gasoline
retail prices will average $2.92 per gallon (gal), up from an average of $2.07/gal last
summer. The higher forecast gasoline prices reflect higher crude oil prices and higher
wholesale gasoline margins. Wholesale gasoline margins have risen as a result of
relatively low inventories and rising gasoline demand. Margins also temporarily widened
because of outages on the Colonial Pipeline. These developments caused U.S. average
regular gasoline retail prices to reach a monthly average of $2.99/gal in May, peaking at
$3.03/gal on May 17, which were the highest monthly and weekly prices since 2014. We
expect that prices will average $3.03/gal in June before falling to $2.76/gal by
September. The drop in forecast retail gasoline prices reflects our forecast that gasoline
margins will fall this summer in response to rising refinery utilization. For all of 2021, we
expect U.S. regular gasoline retail prices to average $2.77/gal and gasoline retail prices
for all grades to average $2.87/gal. Higher prices and more gasoline consumption would
result in the average U.S. household spending about $570 (38%) more on motor fuel in
2021 compared with 2020.
• We estimate that 96.2 million b/d of petroleum and liquid fuels was consumed globally
in May, an increase of 11.9 million b/d from May 2020 but 3.7 million b/d less than in
May 2019. We forecast that global consumption of petroleum and liquid fuels will
average 97.7 million b/d for all of 2021, which is a 5.4 million b/d increase from 2020.
We forecast that global consumption of petroleum and liquid fuels will increase by 3.6
million b/d in 2022 to average 101.3 million b/d.
• We forecast OPEC crude oil production will average 26.9 million b/d in 2021 and 28.7
million b/d in 2022. OPEC crude oil production in the forecast rises from 25.0 million b/d
in April to an average of 28.0 million b/d in 3Q21. Our expectation of rising OPEC
production is primarily based on our assumption that OPEC will raise production by
about 1 million b/d in both June and in July in response to rising global oil demand and
seasonal increases in oil consumption for power generation for some OPEC members. It
also reflects an assumption that Iran’s crude oil production will continue to increase this
year. Although sanctions that target Iran’s crude oil exports remain in place, crude oil
exports—according to ClipperData, LLC.—and production from Iran are up from most of
2020.
• According to our most recent data, U.S. crude oil production averaged 11.2 million b/d
in March 2021, an increase of 1.4 million b/d from February. The March rise indicates
that the production outages caused by the February winter freeze were temporary and
that production came back online quickly. Because prices of West Texas Intermediate
crude oil remain above $60/b during 2021 in the current forecast, we expect that
producers will drill and complete enough wells to raise 2022 production from 2021
Natural Gas
• In May, the natural gas spot price at Henry Hub averaged $2.91 per million British
thermal units (MMBtu), which is up from the April average of $2.66/MMBtu. We expect
the Henry Hub spot price will average $2.92/MMBtu in 3Q21 and $3.07/MMBtu for all
of 2021, which is up from the 2020 average of $2.03/MMBtu. Higher natural gas prices
this year primarily reflect two factors: growth in liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports and
rising domestic natural gas consumption outside of the power sector. In 2022, we
expect the Henry Hub price will average $2.93/MMBtu amid slowing growth in LNG
exports and rising U.S. natural gas production.
• We expect that U.S. consumption of natural gas will average 82.9 billion cubic feet per
day (Bcf/d) in 2021, down 0.5% from 2020. U.S. natural gas consumption declines in the
forecast, in part, because electric power generators switch to coal from natural gas as a
result of rising natural gas prices. In 2021, we expect residential and commercial natural
gas consumption combined will rise by 1.2 Bcf/d from 2020 and industrial consumption
will rise by 0.7 Bcf/d from 2020. Rising consumption outside of the power sector results
from expanding economic activity and colder winter temperatures in 2021 compared
with 2020. We expect U.S. natural gas consumption will average 82.8 Bcf/d in 2022.
• We estimate that natural gas inventories ended May 2021 at almost 2.4 trillion cubic
feet (Tcf), which is 3% lower than the five-year (2016–20) average. More natural gas was
withdrawn from storage during the winter of 2020–21 than the previous five-year
average, largely as a result of the colder-than-average February temperatures that
contributed to a drop in natural gas production. We forecast that inventories will end
the 2021 injection season (end of October) at 3.6 Tcf, which would be 4% below the
five-year average.
• We forecast that retail sales of electricity in the United States will increase by 2.3% in
2021 after falling by 3.9% in 2020. The largest increase in consumption will occur in the
residential sector, where we forecast retail sales of electricity will grow by 2.8% this
year. This growth is primarily a result of colder temperatures in the first quarter of 2021
compared with the same period in 2020. Much of the forecast increase in electricity
consumption in the commercial and industrial sectors reflects improving economic
• We expect the share of electric power generation produced by natural gas in the United
States will average 36% in 2021 and 35% in 2022, down from 39% in 2020. The forecast
share for natural gas as a generation fuel declines in response to our expectation of a
higher delivered natural gas price for electricity generators, which we forecast will
average $4.09/MMBtu in 2021 compared with an average of $2.39/MMBtu in 2020. As a
result of the higher expected natural gas prices, the forecast share of generation from
coal rises from 20% in 2020 to 23% this year but falls to 22% next year. New additions of
solar and wind generating capacity support our expectation that the renewables share
of U.S. generation will rise from 20% in 2020 to 21% in 2021 and to 23% in 2022. The
nuclear share of U.S. electricity generation declines from 21% in 2020 to 20% in 2021
and to 19% in 2022 as a result of retiring capacity at some nuclear power plants.
• We forecast that planned additions to U.S. wind and solar generating capacity in 2021
and 2022 will contribute to rising electricity generation from those sources. We
estimate that the U.S. electric power sector added 14.8 gigawatts (GW) of new wind
capacity in 2020. We expect 16.0 GW of new wind capacity will come online in 2021 and
5.3 GW in 2022. Utility-scale solar capacity rose by an estimated 10.5 GW in 2020. Our
forecast for added utility-scale solar capacity is 15.5 GW 2021 and 16.6 GW for 2022.
We expect significant solar capacity additions in Texas during the forecast period. In
addition, 4 GW to 5 GW of small-scale solar capacity (systems less than 1 megawatt) will
come online each year during the 2021–22 STEO forecast.
• We expect U.S. coal production to total 600 million short tons (MMst) in 2021, which is
61 MMst (11%) more than in 2020. The increase is driven primarily by rising electricity
demand. In 2022, we expect coal production to grow by an additional 5 MMst (1%).
• We expect U.S. coal exports to be about 81 MMst in 2021, 12 MMst (17%) more than in
2020. We expect most of this growth to come from rising demand for steam coal in
Europe and Asia as increased steel prices during 2021 and 2022 drive exports. Forecast
U.S. coal exports in 2022 rise by an additional 12 MMst (14%).
• We estimate that U.S. energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions decreased by 11%
in 2020 as a result of less energy consumption related to reduced economic activity and
responses to COVID-19. In 2021, we forecast energy-related CO2 emissions will increase
about 6% from the 2020 level as economic activity increases and leads to rising energy
use. We also expect energy-related CO2 emissions to rise in 2022, but by a slower rate of
2%. We forecast that after declining by 19% in 2020, coal-related CO2 emissions will rise
by 15% in 2021 and then decrease by 1% in 2022.
After declining in April, crude oil prices in May moved toward post-pandemic daily highs at
nearly $70/b. Continuing draws on global oil inventories contributed to upward crude oil price
pressures. Despite rising COVID-19 case counts in some countries, particularly India, global oil
demand remained higher than supply in May, contributing to continued global withdrawals from
inventories of crude oil and petroleum products. However, we estimate withdrawals fell to 1.2
million barrels per day (b/d) in May, compared with average monthly withdrawals of 2.1 million
b/d since June 2020.
On June 1, front-month Brent futures prices closed above $70/b for the first time since January
2020. At its June 1 meeting, OPEC+ reaffirmed its commitment to continued production
increases in the coming months. Despite the group’s plans to raise production, prices increased
as the market weighed the planned increases relative to expected increases in consumption.
Scheduled increases in production targets contributed to OPEC crude oil production reaching
25.5 million barrels per day (b/d) in May, its highest level since April 2020. This increase brought
global supply to an estimated 95.0 million b/d compared with consumption of 96.2 million b/d.
We expect OPEC crude oil production will increase to an average of 28.0 million b/d in the third
quarter of 2021 (3Q21).
In the June STEO, we raised our Brent price forecast for the coming months. We now expect
Brent prices to average $69/b in June and $68/b in 3Q21, which are $4/b and $5/b higher,
respectively, than in last month’s forecast. This price forecast keeps prices near or slightly below
U.S. oil rigs and WTI prices: Baker Hughes’ U.S. crude oil rotary rig count, which serves as an
indicator of active U.S. crude oil production capacity, reached a low of 172 active rigs on August
14, 2020 (Figure 2). Since then, the number of U.S. oil rigs has more than doubled, increasing by
187 rigs to a total of 359 rigs as of May 28. The pace at which crude oil producers deploy drilling
rigs at any price level is an important driver of crude oil production in U.S. tight oil basins.
We expect that the rig count is likely to continue to increase in response to WTI crude oil prices
rising from less than $50/b in late 2020 to a monthly average of $65/b in May. Our models show
changes in rig counts typically lag behind changes in the WTI price from between three and six
months, and production typically comes online about two months after rig deployment.
Assuming that other factors remain constant, price increases over the past month will likely
continue to drive rig deployments through much of the rest of 2021. However, the recent
changes in rig counts indicate operators, notably in the Permian, could be deploying fewer rigs
at current oil prices than they have previously deployed when oil prices were at similar levels. In
the forecast, we have slightly reduced the responsiveness of rig deployments in the Permian to
upward oil price movements.
Brent Price and S&P 500 correlation: In 2020, the widespread impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
across sectors resulted in an increased correlation between the Brent crude oil price and S&P
500, an equity index of widely traded U.S. public companies (Figure 3). Historically, the
relationship between Brent prices and publicly traded equities is often mixed. Among many
factors, rising oil prices present the risk of inflation and can increase transportation fuel costs for
most firms, contributing to negative correlation. However, rising oil prices can also reflect strong
economic growth, which leads to rising profitability for many companies, contributing to
positive correlation. Rising oil prices can also indicate potentially higher earnings for many large
companies in the S&P 500 that produce and refine petroleum, also contributing to a positive
correlation. A positive correlation between the two can suggest that both asset prices are being
determined primarily by demand-side factors, such as global economic growth, which can
influence both demand for crude oil and for goods and services from other sectors. The rolling
30-day correlation between the Brent price and the S&P 500 reached a high point of 0.77 during
July 2020, the highest correlation between the two series since December 2010.
Crude oil and inflation expectations: The percentage difference in yields for five-year Treasury
Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) compared with U.S. treasury bonds is often used to measure
market expectations of inflation. Responses to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a dramatic
decline in demand for goods, which significantly reduced petroleum and other commodity
prices in early 2020. Because crude oil and other commodity prices are inputs to other sectors of
the economy, changes in crude oil prices can also affect inflation expectations. The TIPS-
Treasury spread decreased to an average of 0.7% in March 2020, reflecting low inflation
expectations as a result of lower prices and reduced economic activity (Figure 4).
Inflation expectations have generally increased since August 2020. The TIPS-Treasury spread
increased from 2.55% on April 1, 2021, to 2.60% on May 3 (the first trading day of May), before
reaching a high of 2.72% on May 12, the spread’s highest point since 2008. The increasing
inflation expectations correspond to increases in the Brent crude oil price, which increased from
$65/b on April 1 to $68/b on May 3 and $69/b on May 12. Fuel price increases for consumers
and firms as a result of high crude oil prices are an important contributor to inflation
expectations. However, the TIPS-Treasury spread also increased at the end of March and into
Petroleum products
Gasoline prices: The front-month futures price of RBOB (the petroleum component of gasoline
used in many parts of the country) settled at $2.20 per gallon (gal) on June 3, up 10 cents/gal
from May 3 (Figure 5). The RBOB–Brent crack spread (the difference between the price of RBOB
and the price of Brent crude oil) increased by 1 cent/gal to settle at 50 cents/gal during the
same period.
The average RBOB–Brent crack spread of 50 cents/gal in May was the highest since July 2015.
The high spread reflected increasing demand, low inventories, and disruptions to the flow of
gasoline along the U.S. East Coast because of the Colonial Pipeline outage. We estimate U.S.
gasoline consumption averaged 9.1 million b/d in May, a 4% increase from April and the highest
level since November 2019. The increase in gasoline demand likely reflected typical seasonal
factors such as Memorial Day travel, as well as increased willingness to travel as a result of rising
vaccinations, rising employment, and increased gasoline purchases in response to outages at
many gas stations during the Colonial Pipeline disruption in early May. In addition, refinery
production has not kept up with the increases in demand the past few months. Gasoline stocks
fell sharply because of weather-related outages in February. Those disruptions were followed by
increasing gasoline consumption from March through May. The increase in gasoline
consumption and supply disruptions have resulted in gasoline inventories being below the five-
year average for every month in 2021. Low gasoline inventories have supported the high
gasoline crack spread, and helped push retail gasoline prices above $3.00/gal. We forecast that
as refineries increase runs in the coming months and increases in gasoline consumption slow, it
Regional gasoline prices: The Colonial Pipeline outage interrupted the flow of gasoline from the
U.S. Gulf Coast to the East Coast and led to a short-term increase in the spread between New
York Harbor gasoline spot prices and Gulf Coast conventional gasoline spot prices (Figure 6). The
spread peaked on May 13 at 11.5 cents/gal, the highest spread since December 16, 2019. The
New York Harbor gasoline price increased relative to the Gulf Coast conventional gasoline price
likely because of a combination of increasing stocks in the U.S. Gulf Coast, decreasing stocks in
the East Coast, and increased demand in the Lower Atlantic. The Lower Atlantic, which receives
much of its gasoline from the pipeline, had lower-than-average gasoline stocks at the time of
the pipeline outage, and as a result had the highest demand for substitute supply sources.
Although the spread exceeded 10 cents/gal for only four days in the month, the spread
remained slightly elevated through May, averaging 8 cents/gal, which is higher than the five-
year May average of 5 cents/gal and higher than the April 2021 average of 3 cents/gal. The
spread decreased in early June, settling at 6 cents/gal on June 3.
Ultra-low sulfur diesel prices: The front-month futures price for ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD)
for delivery in New York Harbor settled at $2.10/gal on June 3, up 15 cent/gal from May 3
(Figure 7). The ULSD–Brent crack spread (the difference between the price of ULSD and the
price of Brent crude oil) increased 6 cents/gal, settling at 40 cents/gal during the same period.
Because increases in distillate consumption have been outpacing increases in production and
net imports in recent months, distillate inventories have been decreasing, which has supported
increases in the ULSD–Brent crack spread (Figure 8). From August 2020 to April 2021, distillate
inventories decreased from 179 million barrels, the highest level since 1982, to approximately
136 million barrels. During that same period, the ULSD–Brent crack spread increased from 17
cents/gal to 31 cents/gal. In May, we estimate inventories fell to about 133 million barrels,
which is lower than the five-year average, and this reduction has coincided with steeper
increases in the crack spread. On May 11, the crack spread exceeded 40 cents/gal for the first
time since March 2020 and remained close to 40 cents/gal through June 3.
High levels of U.S. LNG exports continued in May and supported Henry Hub natural gas futures
prices above $3.00/MMBtu. We estimate U.S. LNG exports of 10.0 billion cubic feet per day
(Bcf/d) in May, the most on record for the month. Every month since November 2020 has been
among the 10 highest months for U.S. LNG exports on record. Stable U.S. production during this
Although U.S. natural gas futures prices have risen, futures price volatility has declined to low
levels. Historical volatility measures the magnitude of daily changes in closing prices for a
commodity during a given time in the past. Based on rolling front-month contracts, the 30-day
historical volatility of U.S. natural gas futures prices was 27.9% on June 3, a significant decrease
from 73.5% a year ago. (Figure 10). However, the May 2020 historical volatility was unusually
high as a result of COVID-19-related disruptions, and historical volatility tends to be low around
May because of less demand for natural gas as a fuel for heating or cooling. The previous five-
year (2015–19) average historical volatility for the first trading day of June was 35.7%. This year,
historical volatility has been even lower so far than the seasonal average. Prices have hovered
within a somewhat narrow range around $3.00/MMBtu, likely because of stable U.S. production
and relatively stable U.S. consumption as a result of slightly below-average cooling demand
during May.
International natural gas prices: International LNG spot prices often reach yearly lows in May,
but this year they have climbed to the high prices typically seen in winter months. The Japan-
Korea Marker (JKM) price exceeded $10/MMBtu this May, compared with May 2019 and 2020
averages near $5/MMBtu and $2/MMBtu, respectively. The Title Transfer Facility (TTF) and
National Balancing Point (NBP) prices in Europe have shown similar trends (Figure 11). In Asia,
efforts to build stocks in anticipation of demand for summer electricity and to prepare for
heating demand next winter has increased demand for LNG imports and supported high prices.
Because LNG stocks in Asia have been lower than usual this year as a result of significant draws
• We expect global oil inventories will build by 0.5 million b/d in 2022, compared with our
expectation of generally unchanged inventories in the May STEO. Our forecast of
inventory growth is the result of our expectation of higher global oil supply in 2022. We
raised expectations of supply growth across several key producers in the June STEO
including OPEC, China, and Mexico.
• We forecast U.S. coal production to total 600 MMst in 2021, up 18 MMst (3%) from last
month’s STEO. High U.S. coal production in this forecast is the result of our expectation
of higher inventory levels and more exports compared with the May STEO.

(a) Includes lease condensate.
(b) Total consumption includes Independent Power Producer (IPP) consumption.
(c) Renewable energy includes minor components of non-marketed renewable energy that is neither bought nor sold, either directly or indirectly, as inputs to marketed energy.
EIA does not estimate or project end-use consumption of non-marketed renewable energy.
(d) The conversion from physical units to Btu is calculated using a subset of conversion factors used in the calculations of gross energy consumption in EIA’s Monthly Energy Review (MER).
Consequently, the historical data may not precisely match those published in the MER or the Annual Energy Review (AER).
(e) Refers to the refiner average acquisition cost (RAC) of crude oil.
