Global oil consumption may grow to 20 million barrels per day by 2050, Rosneft Chief Executive Officer Igor Sechin said during his report at the XVII Verona Eurasian Economic Forum, the company said in a statement.

According to him, long-term forecasts of global oil consumption vary depending on the degree of engagement of the one who makes them.

In his opinion, the expected growth in oil demand attaches particular importance to investments in oil production. According to OPEC estimates, meeting the needs of the market will require an increase in investments in oil production by almost 50% to $550 billion per year by 2050.

According to the head of Rosneft, in order to maintain oil production at the current level, it is necessary to replace about 11% of global production annually.
