Pavel + 384 PP December 13, 2017 By the end of 2017, oil export from U.S. to all parts of world will achieve record number. Beside Canada, China, ... U.S. oil has found "market in the Europe". Main question is could U.S. keep this trend in the next year... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodent + 1,424 December 13, 2017 For as long as OPEC is cutting back its production, and as long as WTI is trading at a significant discount to Brent, I don't see why not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlsbad + 19 CB December 14, 2017 yeah, global buyers are liking the light, sweet--and cheap--US oil. Infrastructure's been built out and the wider Brent/WTI spread is definitely favorable. OPEC hates this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LAOIL + 33 OS December 14, 2017 great snapshot here of 2016 importers of US oil. Haven't found 2017 snapshot ... might have to wait until the New Year Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodent + 1,424 December 14, 2017 Yeah, but oil prices have still rallied, maybe not as high as they hoped they would (and certainly not as fast). But OPEC cut its production and oil prices rose. So they kind of got what they wanted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seleskya + 50 AS December 14, 2017 so you expect to see a dip in exports? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rodent + 1,424 December 14, 2017 1 minute ago, LAOIL said: Maritime records show that first 10 months of 2018 saw a 151% increase in US crude oil exports (seaborne) over same period last year ... First ten months of 2017, I think you mean. The US was not an oil exporter prior to Jan 2016 (except to Canada, who was exempt from the ban). 2016 exports were stifled because America's Gulf Coast refiners didn't have any infrastructure in place to load major tankers that are used to make long voyages. US refineries have gotten some upgrades in recent years that allow them to process more light oil, so we can use more here at home, but also, Lousiana may be the first one to soon load VLCCs, ushering in an entirely new era for US oil exports. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-12-07/next-u-s-crude-export-surge-may-start-at-a-lonely-gulf-buoy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
