shale in particular—is effectively capping the oilprice gains from that agreement. Four months after the OPEC/NOPEC deal took effect, oilprices dropped to the levels preceding the agreement, amid concerns over still stubbornly high inventories and rising U.S. oil production,” the consultancy noted.
The differences from AEO2013 to AEO2014 result from different fuel prices, updated manufacturer product offerings, changing technology attributes, and an updated view of consumer perceptions of infrastructure availability for E85 vehicles. Projected low prices for natural gas make it a very attractive fuel for new generating capacity.
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.

Saudi Arabia has long enjoyed the status of being the top crude oil exporter in the world. With record production of 10.564 million barrels per day in June 2015, Saudi Arabia has been one of the major driving forces behind the current oilprice slump. This could eventually result in refiners cutting their crude oil imports.
The Proposed Final Program offers 11 potential lease sales in four planning areas—10 sales in the portions of three Gulf of Mexico Program Areas that are not under moratorium and one sale off the coast of Alaska in the Cook Inlet Program Area. The vast majority of US offshore oil production occurs in the Gulf of Mexico.

The undisputed king of oil and gas is making some moves that could change the face of the global refining sector. As if being the world’s biggest exporter of oil was not enough, the desert kingdom is now looking to conquer the refining sector as it has quickly become the fourth largest refiner in the world. By offering almost 2.8
One casualty of the oilprice downturn could be the megaproject. For years, as conventional oil reserves depleted and became increasingly hard to find, oil companies ventured into far-flung locales to find new sources of production. The collapse of oilprices, however, could kill off the megaproject.
The party is over for tight oil. Despite brash statements by US producers and misleading analysis by Raymond James, low oilprices are killing tight oil companies. Reports this week from IEA and EIA paint a bleak picture for oilprices as the world production surplus continues. strong>Figure 3.
If the proposed broad 20% border-adjustment tax were implemented and applied to the energy sector, the result would likely lead to a large increase in gasoline prices and a big premium in domestic oilprices vs. international, according to new analysis by Bloomberg Intelligence.
