Global oil consumption outpaced oil production for the six consecutive quarters ending with the fourth quarter of 2021 (4Q21), which has led to persistent withdrawals from global oil inventories and significant increases in crude oilprices.
When oilprices were high and production was relentlessly climbing, energy related junk bonds looked highly profitable. The situation will compound itself if oilprices stay low. Without the ability to finance drilling, smaller or more indebted oil companies may not have a future.
Low-speed electric vehicles (LSEVs) could reduce China’s demand for gasoline and, in turn, impact global oilprices, according to a new issue brief by an expert in the Center for Energy Studies at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy. “
With oilprices low and showing no sign of an immediate rebound, the industry is beginning to pull back on spending. Oilprices have dropped around 30 percent since summer highs, raising fears among producers across the globe. Yet, many oil majors are relatively diversified, with large holdings downstream.

Although the gasoline prices were available for each day throughout this period, the crude-oilprices were not available for weekends, holidays, and selected other days. Therefore, the analysis included only those days for which both prices were available—a total of 2,518 days.

The trajectory of North American gas supply is set to change radically as a result of the fall in oilprices that has occurred due to COVID-19 and the breakdown in production cooperation between OPEC and Russia, according to IHS Markit.

EIA expects crude oilprices to decrease through 2023 and 2024, even as petroleum consumption increases, largely because growth in crude oil production in the United States and abroad will continue to increase over the next two years. Areas of uncertainty include Russian oil supply and OPEC production. per gallon in 2024.
In the Douglas-Westwood Monday note , Andy Jenkins from the energy research group’s London office observes that the decline in oilprices may impact deepwater production and in particular a key future enabler: subsea processing (SSP).
EIA based the forecast on expectations of crude oilprices and infrastructure capacity additions. The forecast of crude oil production in the Permian increases by 470,000 b/d to average 5.7 Production in other US crude oil-producing regions is forecast to increase by 70,000 b/d in 2024. million b/d in 2023.

With OPEC breaking down and any kind of coordination among its members on price cuts looking increasingly unlikely, it now appears that oilprices could remain below $50 a barrel for a year or more. Stripper-operated wells account for all of the oil production in the state of Illinois, for instance.

Oilprices faltered at the start of the second week of the year, as fears set in about a rapid rebound in US shale production. Aside from a single week in October, the US oil industry has deployed more rigs in every week dating back to June, a remarkable run that has resulted in more than 200 fresh rigs drilling for oil.
US oil and gas rig counts dropped to their lowest level in over four years, falling by an additional 74 units for the week ending on January 16. The lower count provides fresh evidence that low oilprices are forcing drillers to pare back operations and slash spending. With weak demand, drillers can negotiate down rig prices.
The impact of rising oilprices on North American light tight oil (LTO) production is said to be a “Catch 22”, the title of Joseph Heller’s popular 1961 novel set in WWII.

US crude oil production dropped slightly, by an estimated 1%, in 2021, but EIA expects it to increase by 6% in 2022 and 5% in 2023. EIA forecasts that in 2022 and 2023, crude oilprices will remain high enough to encourage growth in the number of active drilling rigs and continued improvement in drilling efficiency.
And while oilprices slumped in October, drilling activity continues to rise, according to Baker Hughes , the third-largest oil services company. The general consensus is that American producers will not stop drilling even with an oilprice of $80 per barrel. Market Background Oil' The lesson for investors?
