The first announcement involved a deal with Mexico's state-owned oil company Pemex to develop the offshore Lakach Field near Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz
The deepwater natural gas field will supply the domestic market and be used for LNG exports

Afternoon folks. Hard to tweet while putting out headlines on the wire itself, editing articles and running from spot to spot here. Were I not an editor! But still, a long thread on #CERAWeek
We’re in a growing energy crisis that seems like it’s going to get worse – I’ll get to that later. The tenor of the conference here has been a combo of some dread – the reality of the surge in oil prices, emerging shortages in fuel and unfinished oils, and rising natgas prices.
The original plan was to do a lot of talk of renewables and transition – even though the usual first couple days would have been dominated by oil. But that’s not how it turned out, of course, and the conference organizers recognized that shift. #OOTT

Key point: US is connected to global #gas market, but is cushioned by geography that cannot apply to UK.

If you think about it, the implication made by some about US shale is obviously mistaken. In reality, US gas producers would sell into EU and Asian market if they could because the price is higher. And this would push up the price that US customers had to pay - it already has.

To sell into European and Asian markets, US gas producers have to use #LNG trade that links regional markets into a quasi-global market. Limited LNG capacity means that sales from US to Europe and Asia are low – and not likely to become substantial.

Thread: General comments & forecasts for the global oil market in 2022. Constructive comments are welcome. If comments don't fit your books, just ignore them.
1-13 The oil market will be tighter than forecasts, especially relative to OPEC’s forecast. No major inventory build.

2- The biggest surprise might come from increased demand for oil in the oil-producing countries themselves. That is a double-edged sword; BULLISH.
On the other side, if #COVID19 & its varients come back with vengeance: lockdowns, inventory build, etc.. OPEC+ is expected to react

Thread on why I am bullish on oil in the long run:
1- In all outlooks, the largest decrease in global oil demand comes from the massively improved efficiency in ICE vehicles. That is massively exaggerated.
2- Do the numbers! The impact of #ElectricVehicles is exaggerated!

3- The outlooks ignore the global shift in consumer taste from small cars to crossovers, SUVs, and trucks.
4- All those who are bearish on oil are looking at a static picture. The world is dynamic. If oil prices collapse, oil will be too cheap to ignore by all groups.#oil #OPEC

5- The outlooks ignore the new consumers of energy as they did in the past with Bitcoin and data centers. That creates competition for electricity, and that leads to fuel switching and private generation.

1/ U.S. #energy policy is in serious need of a rethink. Energy policy is not just climate policy, it's #economic policy and it's #foreignpolicy. Our European allies' dependence on #Russian gas supplies is geopolitical malfeasance.

2/ For decades, the U.S. was reliant on energy supplies from the Middle East, which dictated our foreign policy decisions in the region. The #shale revolution provided a brief, decade-long reprieve from the mercy of #OPEC.
3/ But rather than use our energy abundance as a geopolitical and national/economic security tool, we are ceding power back to those whose national interests are not aligned with those of the U.S.

Interesting read; and falls in line with how i'd expect oil to behave going into 2021.
The only thing i find missing is the perspective that War is good for the price of oil, US Shale *also* needs higher prices = more motive for the US-China war path.

Just to clarify, if we look at a #China-#USA conflict through the lens of #oil prices, i see:
1. The price of oil rises.
2. US #Shale needs higher oil prices.
3. China, being the worlds largest importer of oil by far, needs lower oil prices.
4. #SaudiArabia needs higher prices.

First, Deepening the production cuts from what was previously agreed upon for the month of July, which would accelerate the rebalancing of the markets

1- What is the importance of this meeting? 1-
First, Deepening the production cuts from what was previously agreed upon for the month of July, which would accelerate the rebalancing of the markets
2- Second, the unprecedented focus on the commitment of all members & the establishment of a monthly monitoring system for the production of member states & the #oil market. This means that the possibility of a monthly renewal of the agreement exists if there is a need for it.
3- Third, establishing a new system used for the first time by OPEC: reduction of future production quota if countries violate their current quota. This system has been historically adopted by world commodity organizations such as the Tin, Bauxite a& Coffee organizations.

Lets talk about #Oil and why the price of the #US benchmark #WTI West Texas Intermediate has turned negative FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER...
Some of you are waking up to what might read or sound like another disaster. Just when you were learning how to deal with #COVID19, you hear about a so called plunge in the #Price of #Oil. But what does it mean to have oil in negative territory & why is that the case? Lets see...

These include only the ones that have given hard numbers. Some others have said they will cut, but did not provide specific details.
Oil major @exxonmobil $XOM on Monday said it will make "significant" cuts to spending, but did not provide details. Rival @Chevron $CVX said it was looking at ways to trim spending that could lead to lower near-term oil production

OPEC was formed in the 1970s and the cartel could control prices - because the global economy runs on oil, and bulk of the reserves were in the Middle East.
They figured out, Oil Demand is inelastic. People have to buy no matter what price. It’s the most dense form of energy.

Price Elasticity if Demand in the short run was 8x.
1% cut in Oil production would lead to 8% rise in price.
But if prices are too high, then people start saving energy and demand falls.
