On September 28, 2006, Petrojarl announced that it had been awarded a contract by Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras) to supply an FPSO for the Siri project in Brazil. The contract will be assigned to, and performed by, Teekay Petrojarl Offshore, the joint venture between Teekay and Petrojarl.

During the quarter, freight rates for product tankers also rose as refined product imports into the United States remained high, and China’s demand for distillates remained firm. In addition, ton-mile intensive refined product movements from Asia to the U.S. West Coast increased following the Prudhoe Bay pipeline disruption.

Global oil demand, an underlying driver of tanker demand, increased to 84.2 million barrels per day (mb/d) during the third quarter of 2006, an increase of 1.2 mb/d, or 1.4%, from the previous quarter, and 1.0 mb/d, or 1.2%, higher than the third quarter of 2005. The International Energy Agency’s (IEA) outlook remains firm with global oil demand in the fourth quarter of 2006 estimated to be 2.2 mb/d, or 2.6%, higher than the fourth quarter of 2005. For calendar year 2007, the IEA forecasts a further increase in oil demand of 1.4 mb/d to 86.0 mb/d, 1.7% higher than 2006. Global oil supply, a direct driver of tanker demand, rose to a record high of 85.7 mb/d during the third quarter of 2006, which was 0.8 mb/d higher than the previous quarter and 1.3 mb/d, or 1.5%, higher than the third quarter of 2005. Much of the growth during the quarter originated from the non-OPEC regions such as the former Soviet Union, Latin America and Africa. Early in the fourth quarter, OPEC members announced a 1.2 mb/d cut back in oil production in response to easing oil prices. However, the IEA estimates that non-OPEC oil supply will increase by 0.9 mb/d during the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to the previous quarter, with growth expected to originate from the former Soviet Union, the North Sea, Africa, and Latin America.
