There’s been a blizzard of speculation re US/Iran diplomacy – but little analysis on what the US seeks to accomplish & what will happen to Iran if it actually succeeds.

US strategy can be summed up as “Plan C.”
“Plan A” was revive JCPOA. It failed. Replacement agreement is a mirage for foreseeable future.
“Plan B” was proposed by many observers & Israeli officials to significantly ratchet up pressure. US opposed this.
Enter "Plan C."

“Plan C” aims to prevent an Iranian bomb, avoid escalation, & kick the can on a diplomatic solution–with the hope that deterrence can be maintained and diplomacy could ripen over time.

1/n This #thread will argue that a unique set of historical contingencies has obscured a looming problem for the #oil mkt, one which has been *delayed* by unprecedented events & interventions but not negated. We believe that in 6-8 wks the mkt will be subject to extreme turmoil
/2 RECENCY BIAS: one can hardly read an article on oil w/out being told of crude’s supposed ‘weakness’ since last June’s highs, often accompanied by de rigueur chart crimes showing month-after-month of lower prices. These charts, of course, cherry-pick a ST price spike to make
/3 the case that Demand has somehow collapsed. This is nonsense & ignores the extraordinary SPR maneuvers that were employed in the wake of Russia’s invasion. Simply put, if ~600k b/d are dumped from the SPR, oil prices should drop, & they did. Extra SUPPLY. 222mm bbbls. Historic

Domestic production has tripled since 2019, reaching 95 kbd in 2022. My analysis of project timelines indicate supply could double this year and reach 320 kbd in 2025. (2/15)
US demand won’t keep up. Proposed volume mandates under the RFS only support about 143 kbd in 2023 and 167 kbd in 2025. I view this as the cap on domestic demand due to the role of RINs on producer margins. (3/15)

The “inevitable” underinvestment bull thesis for oil hinges on the lack of investment in new production and assumes the path of mature/existing production as mostly set in stone. It’s not.
A long🧵about the (in)famous “base decline” and why it matters #OOTT
A long🧵about the (in)famous “base decline” and why it matters #OOTT
Short version: The price reflation (if sustained) can and likely will lift medium-term oil supply by shoring up spending on existing production. Over a 5-yr horizon, shallower base declines could “add” 1-2 mb/d of supply without a single additional project.
Quick note first: this thread focuses primarily on conventional production, the majority of global crude production.
Shale has its own unique wedge and decline characteristics that warrant separate discussion.

Part of the energy revisions reflect changes to U.S. population growth (which has been revised down 6% since the 2018 - the first year with forecasts out to 2050). By 2050, U.S. population is expected now at 370 mln vs. 395 mln people previously.

China has never fashioned itself, at least publicly, as a particularly willing regulator of global oil markets.
It has never had grandiose strategic aspirations of managing oil markets beyond its own energy security and diversification priorities
It has never had grandiose strategic aspirations of managing oil markets beyond its own energy security and diversification priorities
By circumstance more than by design, it has found itself in the driver seat.
It was the perfect alignment of the maturation and scale of China’s oil industry (long in the making) and the fracturing of the oil system in 22-23 (sudden). Right place, right time.

The risk factor with energy investments continues to drop. The combined loan book by Canada's 6 big banks shows a 92% decrease in impaired loans to Oil & Gas (to $230 mln). What are the additional implications? -a thread #oott #energy #oilandgas
The banks comfort in the Oil & Gas sector plays a major role in capital spending plans (and ability for M&A). Despite loan impairments down, the banks have still reduced their overall lending to Oil & Gas by 54% since 1Q20 to $27 bln.
On a relative basis, Oil & Gas is now only 1.8% of the CDN bank wholesale loan business. As ancillary fees decline, so to has desire to lend, especially to smaller-cap E&Ps. The result is less sector growth, less 'farm-teams' for the majors, less exploration, etc

With China showing more signs of opening, oil demand was revised up 1% (160 mb/d). Is there more oil demand revisions to come? Possibly. Expected crude demand in 2023 is still only up 5% to 15.8 mln b/d (from 14.4 mln b/d in 2020) #oott
U.S. oil production in 2024 was lowered 1.4% (150 mb/d) - with much of this oil supply decline near the back-end of the year. As earning season progresses (and capex budgets are revised), we may see more estimate revisions to come #crude #permian #eagleford #midland #bakken
