MOS submissions are received electronically from OECD Member countries at the end of each month and include data for the two preceding months, as well as any revisions made to previous months’ data submissions. MOS data are verified and aggregated with non-OECD information and then analysed by experts to produce the OMR, which is released during the first half of the month. The report is available in two formats: electronic distribution involving the dispatch of PDF files via e-mail, and hard-copy distribution via post and international courier service. The electronic version of the report is also available to the general public, free of charge, two weeks after each publication date. The Monthly Oil Data Service (MODS) which contains much of the historical data on which the report is based, is available via the Internet, and includes comprehensive actual and projected demand and supply data, and actual trade, stock and refinery throughput data. With effect from July 2006, a Medium-Term Oil Market Report (MTOMR) is produced annually.
