李伟王芳 + 77 ZL May 28, 2018 Saudi Arabia and Russia are discussing raising OPEC and non-OPEC oil production by some 1 million barrels a day, sources said, while OPEC's chief said a complaint from US President Donald Trump over high prices had triggered the idea of upping output. Looks like Riyadh and Moscow are prepared to ease output cuts to calm consumer worries about supply adequacy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When OPEC arbitrarily halts production or some despot in the Middle East gets his hand slapped, I get the equivalent of a pay cut. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joanna + 68 JT May 28, 2018 West Texas Intermediate crude Oil will likely be "range-bound" between US$ 66.50 & US$ 76.50 per 42-gallon bbl. for the foreseeable future. U.S. producers need a US$ 50.00 per bbl price of WTI crude to pay the overhead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnAtronis + 78 JA May 28, 2018 If the price is high, we should be drilling. Not telling Russia or OPEC to drill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodent + 1,424 May 28, 2018 15 minutes ago, JohnAtronis said: If the price is high, we should be drilling. Not telling Russia or OPEC to drill Well, the US is drilling, and is continuing to ramp up oil production. And US oil exports are increasing to new highs. The discount of WTI to Brent is already significant. But the US will be a bit restrained by takeaway capacity. That said, I'm not sure how low we want oil prices to go? Nothing wrong with high oil prices. If shale economics as some suggest are in fact brutal and shale is still not breaking even, the US needs these higher oil prices (actually, they need higher margins between price and cost, but you catch my drift). Technological advances that cut costs are also needed, although much of this work has been done in the last decade, specifically in the last couple of years during lower prices. Did someone say "subsidies"? We do not allow such dirty words in our community, @JohnAtronis. May we never speak of this again. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But, Trump will claim victory on this. That his tweet solved it 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cokiga Damke + 53 CD May 28, 2018 who knowns what his policy will be tomorrow. He might be apologizing to OPEC and Russians. I saw today in news he reached a deal to help ZTE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ja’Nako Bezze + 36 JB May 28, 2018 In his Twitter messages, Trump blamed Democrats and the Obama administration for allowing ZTE to stay in business before he took office. But the Obama administration took multiple steps to punish the company in the lead up to Trump’s presidency, cracking down on ZTE through the Commerce Department and Justice Department. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like Riyadh and Moscow are prepared to ease output cuts to calm consumer worries about supply adequacy One thing is for certain, this announcement alone right here (https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/25/opec-russia-discuss-raising-oil-output-by-about-1-million-barrels-per-day-sources.html), has brought oil prices down $6 dollars in just five days (image from Oilprice.com). As for what will happen come June 22-23, your guess is as good as mine.
