It is viewed not simply in the context of increasing production and consumption of crude oil and its refined products, but rather as a fundamental transformation of the entire system of market relations in this segment of the global economy. The key idea of the paper is to conduct a comparative analysis of existing forecasts and scenarios for the development of the global oil market, characterised by a state of structural break caused by the confrontation between two multidirectional trends – the spread of the “green agenda” aimed at reducing the use of mineral resources, and the increase in demand for petroleum products from developing countries. The authors identified a contradiction between the inertia of oil demand and the pressure of the energy transition, which causes a structural transformation of the economies of most states. It is shown that the “green agenda” acts not as an external threat, but as an internal factor determining investment decisions and the future map of global commodity flows of petroleum products. It replaces linear forecasts with the analysis of bifurcation points and strategic flexibility. The paper analyses the historical dynamics and current state of key parameters of the global petroleum products market, identifies drivers of uncertainty, and constructs models for the future development of this segment. It is concluded that the high uncertainty of the current dynamics of the global petroleum products market conditions is determined not so much by environmental factors as by geopolitical and economic factors.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Современный этап развития мирового рынка нефтепродуктов характеризуется уникальным стечением глобальных вызовов, которые заставляют иначе взглянуть на его перспективы, рассматривать не только в контексте наращивания производства и потребления объемов сырой нефти и продуктов ее переработки, но и в аспекте фундаментальной трансформации всей системы рыночных отношений в этом сегменте мировой экономики. Ключевая идея статьи заключается в проведении компаративистского анализа существующих прогнозов и сценариев развития мирового рынка нефти, характеризующегося состоянием структурного перелома, вызванного противоборством двух разнонаправленных тенденций – распространением «зеленой повестки», нацеленной на снижение использования минеральных ресурсов, и увеличением объемов спроса на продукты нефтепереработки со стороны развивающихся стран. Авторами выявлено наличие противоречия между инерцией спроса на нефть и давлением энергетического перехода, которое обусловливает структурную перестройку экономик большинства государств. Отмечено, что «зеленая повестка» выступает не в качестве внешней угрозы, а как внутренний фактор, определяющий инвестиционные решения и будущую карту мировых товарных потоков нефтепродуктов. Она заменяет линейные прогнозы на анализ точек бифуркации и стратегической гибкости. В работе проанализированы историческая динамика и текущее состояние ключевых параметров мирового рынка нефтепродуктов, выявлены драйверы неопределенности, построены модели будущего развития данного сегмента. Сделан вывод о том, что высокая неопределенность современной динамики конъюнктуры мирового рынка нефтепродуктов детерминирована не столько экологическими, сколько геополитическими и экономическими факторами.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>oil</kwd><kwd>petroleum products market</kwd><kwd>oil exporting countries</kwd><kwd>structural transformation</kwd><kwd>sustainable development</kwd><kwd>“green agenda”</kwd><kwd>external shocks</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>нефть</kwd><kwd>рынок нефтепродуктов</kwd><kwd>страны экспортеры нефти</kwd><kwd>структурная трансформация</kwd><kwd>устойчивое развитие</kwd><kwd>«зеленая повестка»</kwd><kwd>внешние шоки</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Laeven L., Popov A.
