Brent crude prices stabilized at around $ 35 per barrel

The weighted average oil prices in the world over the past day have jumped by about 25 percent. If we consider the data from March 31 to today, then the increase in Brent crude oil prices amounted to more than 50 percent.

On the last day of March, oil was trading at around $ 22 per barrel. To date, prices are at the level of 34-35 US dollars, stabilizing relative to the previous turbulent period.



At the same time, statements are being made from the White House that the United States may introduce duties for oil from Saudi Arabia and Russia “in order to stabilize the world oil market”.

At the same time, US President Trump made it clear that at the moment there is no talk of the mandatory introduction of duties:

Do we use (duties) on oil? We can do this. Will we do this now? No. I do not think about introducing duties at the moment. But if they treat us unfairly, it will become a tool.

The oil market is looking forward to April 6th, at which a meeting of OPEC + energy ministers is scheduled. At the meeting, which will be held in a video conference format, it is planned to discuss the issue of reducing hydrocarbon production. Russia is ready to take such a step if other exporting countries take the same step. It is expected that further dynamics in oil prices depends on the position of three countries - Russia, Saudi Arabia and the United States.

          In our country, only chestnuts can fall in the fall and Matvienkov's "suck" in the winter, and so on little things - bridges, structures, equipment, balconies again. But our prices are steadily growing, the only place where we will really enter the top ten is in the rise in prices.

            it doesn’t work like that. if demand falls then raising prices you will bring it down even more. that would return demand without a discount can not do.

            not in this case. there are simply no other options and cannot be. You can stimulate demand in various ways, but in one case or another they will come down to lower prices. speculation is essentially generating income from the difference between the purchase and sale prices. but I repeat, sales will fall and strongly. and the very essence of this disappears i.e. profit from these actions.

        How can it be stabilized. If the price of a liter includes 65%, the excise tax is tax. Subtract 65% of the cost of a liter at a gas station, and the cost of a liter will be your answer.

        yeah, it’s stabilizing. price increase. On April 3, Putin held a meeting with the leaders of Russian oil companies, at which he stated that Russia was ready to again reduce oil production by about 10 million barrels per day. it means not received profit will be received on gasoline from ordinary citizens of the country.

        And gasoline never even tried to stabilize. Always creeping up.
        And the authorities, closing their eyes, are looking at this "phenomenon".
        After all, our state has two main sources of income.
        Oil and people.
        When income from the first is getting thinner, the second is milked. When the second one is poor - they again turn to the first.
        Win-win situation.
        You should not contact us in Saudi Arabia.
        After all, they have only one such source - oil.
        Saudis will not eat food packages. Chop the bored royal family with sabers if citizens' incomes fall. They won’t even swear on the Internet ... wink

            Yes, filmed.
            Until the moment it becomes clear whether the Russian Federation and Opek (first of all, KSA) have agreed to reduce them and on what conditions, i.e. who specifically reduces how much.
            Well, then on the situation. And if the result is not in favor of the Russian Federation (i.e., it loses more volumes than others, or doesn’t agree at all), then they will again extract from the grandfather’s suitcase, spent by moth a very, very tricky-ingenious plan (in the common people of KhPP).

          This is not a great step, but a completely ill-considered and stupid step. It was made by a man who haughtily believed in his geostrategic flair. Which he never really had. With his utterly arrogant and adventurous step, Putin has brought colossal misfortunes to Russia. Our exports in volume will be minimally reduced by 30% <and maybe more. According to The Wall Street Journal, as part of the deal under discussion, Saudi Arabia may cut production by 3,5 million barrels per day, OPEC countries - by 1,5 million, another 2 million will be removed from the market in North America, including the United States. Russia is given a quota of 1,5 million barrels per day - 13% of daily production and about 30% of exports. Given the low oil price, which will not rise to $ 60 for a very long time, the budget losses will be monstrous. To these losses must be added the eternal theft. Because the personal embezzlers will not give up their share.

            TV presenter, general director of the international news agency "Russia Today" Dmitry Kiselev explained the benefits of Russia from cheap oil. The corresponding post appeared in his Telegram channel.

            “No panic. Oil is falling, but Russia remains in the black, not allowing to limit its capabilities in the global oil market. Strategically, the decision is right, ”said the media manager. He noted that in the event of the conclusion of a “disadvantageous transaction” with OPEC, “we would be thrown overboard and deprived of new income.” Now, according to Kiselyov, there is a chance not only to get and sell as much as needed, but also to "send American oil shale overboard."

            Kiselev also expressed the opinion that the Russian budget is much stronger than the budget of Saudi Arabia and is ready for low oil prices (around $ 40), unlike the kingdom’s budget

                which one?
                Experts reacted positively to Russia's exit from the OPEC + deal

                Russia cannot be satisfied with the format of the OPEC + deal, because it is not beneficial for our country to limit the level of oil production. So commented on the withdrawal from the OPEC + agreement in an interview with Lente.ru, Director General of InfoTEK-Terminal Rustam Tankaev.

                According to the expert, in Russia oil reserves in general can grow unlimitedly. “Therefore, it’s ridiculous for us to limit production. And in this sense, an agreement is unprofitable for us. The money that Russia brings to the OPEC + agreement is momentary and tactical. In fact, Russia is at a very disadvantage, being within the framework of the agreement. ”

                  Well, let's point by point. tell me at least one country that was able to develop rapidly without foreign investment? what did we build? are you few flows? approx. In 2014, immediately after the announcement of the imposition of sanctions, several planned joint ventures with Western companies broke up. Shell said it was halting work under the Khanty-Mansiysk Oil and Gas Union JV with Gazprom Neft to develop shale deposits in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. Total abandoned plans to create a joint venture with Lukoil to develop the Bazhenov formation. ExxonMobil was forced to freeze all projects in Russia, with the exception of Sakhalin-1. For an indefinite period, the project for the creation of the Far Eastern LNG, a gas liquefaction plant on the resource base of the Sakhalin-1 project (investment volume of at least $ 10 billion) was postponed. ) Rosneft and ExxonMobil have been exploring the possibility of building the enterprise since 2013. and have already announced their intention to put it into operation by the end of 2018. Rosneft even entered into agreements for the sale of LNG from a future plant starting in the first quarter of 2019. However, now the project has suspended - last year it was said that the plant would start operating not earlier than 2020, and now Energy Minister Alexander Novak in his letter to the government said that “an investment decision on the final choice of the concept of the Far Eastern LNG project has not yet been made . The planned date for making the investment decision is Q2017 XNUMX. ”A similar situation has developed around the offshore project Rosneft and ExxonMobil in the Kara Sea. In September, the 2014 partners announced the discovery of the Universitetskaya-1 field, where a well was drilled. However, the withdrawal of the American partner from the project led to the suspension of drilling operations. Rosneft claims that it may be able to continue drilling operations alone, but not now, but in 2017–2018. The construction of the Yamal liquefied natural gas plant Yamal LNG, in which Novatek companies participate, is a little better. (60%), Total (20%) and CNPC (20%). The $ 27 billion project nearly collapsed due to the cessation of funding. Loans from US banks, which the shareholders had hoped for at the initial stage, in 2013 were not available. “By the time the sanctions were introduced, we had already made serious financial progress - a classic scheme with payments in dollars through American banks, American lawyers ... We had to start from scratch! ” - said the head of Total Intelligence Development Russia, Jacques de Boisson. Nevertheless, Yamal LNG was saved thanks to money from China. “This is the most difficult work that I have had to do for 18 months,” admitted Patrick Puyanne, the head of Total. Even Chinese banks insisted on attracting European banks and export-import agencies, but they changed their position after the visit of the head of the presidential administration Sergei Ivanov to Beijing. OJSC Yamal LNG has already signed agreements with the Export-Import Bank of China and the China Development Bank on the provision of credit lines in the amount of 9,3 billion euros and 9,8 billion yuan for a period of 15 years. To this amount 150 billion rubles were added. from the National Wealth Fund and a loan of 3,6 billion euros from Sberbank and Gazprombank.
                  Well, offhand. few? I can still throw if you want. For defense industry, for example. I can throw how many companies flew by, for example, from the EBRD's refusal to lend to their projects. and this is mainly different production. from food to chemistry. you don’t even have a clue how many there are and how they got into it.

        Russia cannot be satisfied with the format of the OPEC + deal, because it is not beneficial for our country to limit the level of oil production. So commented on the withdrawal from the OPEC + agreement in an interview with Lente.ru, Director General of InfoTEK-Terminal Rustam Tankaev.

        According to the expert, in Russia oil reserves in general can grow unlimitedly. “Therefore, it’s ridiculous for us to limit production. And in this sense, an agreement is unprofitable for us. The money that Russia brings to the OPEC + agreement is momentary and tactical. In fact, Russia is at a very disadvantage, being within the framework of the agreement. ”

In the United States they can reduce oil production in order to get out of the crisis if Saudi Arabia and Russia also arrive. According to Bloomberg, this was stated by the representative of the Texas Rail Commission Ryan Sitton. The state is one of the country's main producing regions. "Texas could reduce production by 10% if Saudi Arabia makes the same reduction from the pre-pandemic production level and Russia agrees to go the same way," said Ryan Sitton.

        You are right, Sergey. States through the mechanism of import duties domestically can keep a comfortable oil price. Moreover, even in this situation, the Saudis will supply oil to the United States. But you did not take into account one big minus for the United States in this situation. It is that the goods they produce that are exported will be less competitive than competitors. In this case, they will have to be subsidized. This would nullify all oil duty revenues.

      Trump in his tweet hinted to OPEC and Russia that they need to remove 10 million barrels per day from the market. If not? That for the Saudis, we will introduce import duties and sanctions for Russia. Agree as you want.
      OPEC + was bustling, Russia as well. The GDP said that he, in principle, is not opposed, but if you consider the decline in volumes from the last meeting in Vienna. That bish from 10,5 Russia and 9,5 Saudis + OPEC are old trivia. The prince made it clear that they would consider the decline from modern production. And the Saudis at the moment it is about 12,5-13 million per day!
      Truncated, the multi-door has developed. After spitting on OPEC, led by Saudi Arabia, you can not go to the grandmother about the volumes that will be reduced. Saudis will return to their pre-crisis 9,5, then bish minus type 3-3,5 million. 1,5 million minus the rest of the OPEC countries. But Russia, which in OPEC + is that plus, will be forced to minus 5 million real production. Which was before March 6 and is at the moment. For the oil industry could not increase production.
