It may be difficult to look beyond the current pricing environment for oil, but the depletion of low-cost reserves and the increasing inability to find major new discoveries ensures a future of expensive oil. Total global investment in oil and gas exploration grew rapidly over the last 15 years.
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. Too many analysts continue to believe drilling and service has the same problem with rising oilprices. by David Yager for Oilprice.com.
Predicting and diagnosing the trajectory of oilprices has become something of a cottage industry in the past year. But along with all of the excess crude flowing from the oil patch, there is also an abundance of market indicators that while important, tend to produce a lot of noise that makes any accurate estimate nearly impossible.
OPEC says that $10 trillion worth of investment will need to flow into oil and gas through 2040 in order to meet the world’s energy needs. The OPEC published its World Oil Outlook 2015 (WOO) in late December, which struck a much more pessimistic note on the state of oil markets than in the past.

This fall was driven mainly by oil, which accounted for almost three quarters of the net decline. The oilprice (Dated Brent) averaged $41.84/bbl The US (-2.3 Source: bp.
In a newly released report, market analyst Visiongain has calculated the Arctic oil and gas exploration and production market to be worth $11.93 Although oil and gas have been produced in the Arctic region for years, many of the vast oil and gas fields that initiated interest in the Arctic are in decline.
Conventional oil and gas discoveries during the past three years are at the lowest levels in seven decades and a significant rebound is not expected, according to a new report by global business information provider IHS Markit. —Keith King, senior advisor at IHS Markit and a lead author of the IHS Markit E&P trends analysis.
Natural gas is the fastest-growing fossil fuel, as global supplies of tight gas, shale gas, and coalbed methane increase. With prices expected to increase in the long term, however, the world oilprice in real 2011 dollars reaches $106 per barrel in 2020 and $163 per barrel in 2040, according to IEO2013.

The Gas Company currently produces synthetic natural gas from naptha and hydrogen, will plans to include plant oils and animal fats as feedstocks in the future.
In their analysis, the authors examined the effect of 5 factors on EDV deployment: crude oil and natural gasprices; a federal CO 2 policy; a federal renewable portfolio standard (RPS); and EDV battery cost. No EDV deployment occurs with high battery costs, low oilprices, and no CO 2 policy.
Due to the numerous uncertainties, they used a parametric approach to examine a spectrum of possible futures, instead of highlighting a few scenarios. Among their findings were: RFS2 is satisfied at extreme oilprices (at least $215/barrel). This oilprice encourages biofuel use in the RFS2 timeframe, but not in the long run.
According to the IEO2021 Reference case, which projects future energy trends based on current laws and regulations, renewable energy consumption has the strongest growth among energy sources through 2050. Oil and natural gas production will continue to grow, mainly to support increasing energy consumption in developing Asian economies.

For the third time in four years, surveyed fleets named biodiesel as their top alternative fuel choice both for current use and future interest. Additionally, biodiesel was named as their top choice for future interest at 14%. It is highly likely that clean energy solutions will remain relevant due to oilprice instability.
Oil production capacity is surging in the United States and several other countries at such a fast pace that global oil output capacity could grow by nearly 20% from the current 93 million barrels per day to 110.6 Such an increase in capacity could prompt a plunge or even a collapse in oilprices, he suggests.
With the recently concluded nuclear deal between Iran and the P5+1 countries, oilprices have already started heading downward on sentiments that Iran’s crude oil supply would further contribute to the already rising global supply glut. But with rising negative sentiment pertaining to oilprices, is U.S.
