The publication and its key highlights were presented by OPEC Secretary General, HE Haitham Al Ghais, followed by a presentation and a panel discussion.

Dr Jakob Müllner, Associate Professor and Academic Director at the WU Executive Academy, the sponsor of the event, delivered remarks at the event’s opening.

First published in 1965, the ASB, one of the Organization’s flagship publications, continues to provide a broad range of statistics and figures on the global energy industry, particularly focusing on oil and natural gas, in addition to major key economic indicators, serving as a leading source of reliable data for officials, policymakers, industry experts, analysts, researchers, members of academia and other stakeholders. The publication features comprehensive annual data on the global oil and gas supply chain, particularly on OPEC’s 13 Member Countries.

The publication is available as an interactive version and a PDF on the OPEC website, as well as through a smart app compatible with iOS and Android platforms.
