The Western media report versions of the reasons for the fall in oil prices and the Saudi "ultimatum" to Moscow

149

The French edition of La Tribune decided to explain to its readers why there were problems in the global energy market. The author of the “explanation” was journalist Jerome Maren. He “laid out” the situation in several questions and answers. What specific questions and answers are we talking about?

1 Question: Why did oil prices collapse from 64 to 22 dollars per barrel in a short time?



Mr. Maren is deeply convinced that all this happened due to coronavirus and Russia. I immediately recall the famous tirade of Barack Obama, who in his presidency declared "three world threats - Ebola, Russia and ISIS (prohibited in the Russian Federation)."

From La Tribune:

The fall in oil prices is also associated with Russia's refusal to reduce production at the OPEC + meeting. Then an immediate response from Saudi Arabia followed.

It is strange that the author did not remember the United States, which initially held the position not to support the decline in production.

2 Question: Why did Russia refuse to reduce oil production?

Jerome Maren:

It is believed that maintaining low prices could inflict a fatal blow on the American shale, a fragile sector that needs a barrel no cheaper than $ 50 to make a profit.

3 Question: Why did Saudi Arabia respond so sharply?

An author at La Tribune reports that Riyadh's goal, it turns out, is to "preserve the OPEC + deal."

4 Question: Does Russia and Saudi Arabia have something to lose?

The author believes that Saudi Arabia is in a better position, since the cost of production there is $ 2,8 per barrel, and in Russia it reaches $ 20. At the same time, the French observer overlooks an important detail: the price of oil is formed not only from the price of its physical production, but also from the price of transportation. And here, Russia already has significantly more advantages compared to Saudi Arabia due to the presence of an extensive network of pipelines both domestically and in the “export” direction.

From the material:

These manufacturers still will not be able to resist for a long time. Both countries have financial reserves, but they are not inexhaustible.

5 Question: Why will Riyadh and Moscow negotiate again?

In a French newspaper, it is stated that these negotiations will take place for the reason that Russia and Saudi Arabia are not interested in a long-term confrontation, which can only aggravate the economic situation throughout the world.

As a result, the author notes that US President Donald Trump, who is “ready to mediate,” intervened.

Against this background, statements appeared about the allegedly Saudi ultimatum to Moscow. Western media say that Riyadh allegedly insists that Russia reduce production more than other participants in the OPEC + deal. But the ultimatum implies “punitive measures” in case of refusal. If so, then what kind of “punitive measures” is Riyadh ready to introduce: to increase production volumes again, bringing down oil, and at the same time “burning off” its own reserves?

      At the same time, dumping the US, a competitor in the market. The budget of Riyadh is made up at the rate of $ 50 per barrel, they will simply fly into the pipe themselves. And we will endure, not the first time. request

          You are absolutely RIGHT, especially in the last paragraph. Rosneft will now use Leontyev's division in every possible way in order to explain to us that the role of Rosneft in this "boil" is minimal.
          Prior to the key meeting of OPEC +, the media reported that the opportunities for oil production were increased. Here is greed and incompetence and a stupid desire to show iron balls ruined.

            Against this background, an endless total lie has already hardened, which the Saudis easily refuted by the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they have already laid out this speech at the VO, after which the President of the Russian Federation has already agreed to a reduction in production, but it’s already clear how the alignment will look and who will dictate it. It will look like this with a total reduction of 10 million, OPEC will reduce its 5 and require about 5 from the Russian Federation. belay
            And then our excellent government distinguished itself by issuing a decree banning the import of fuel and lubricants !!! this is so that cheap gasoline does not flood in the Russian Federation. Are we again hostage or captive?

                  and what do I say of the Saudis? should I believe them more than ours?))) you're funny) these games are quite common when negotiations are underway. and there’s nothing special about them. it was the Saudis who created a tantrum when we simply did not want to cut back on production. Did Russia threaten anyone? no dumping with prices? no. all this was done by the Saudis. there the number was 500 at all, and suddenly now they agree to reduce as much as 3.5) well, they would have reduced it at their own expense and there would have been no such conflict. all that happened is a tantrum of pure water. and everyone understands whose. the slate has a much stronger impact on the Saudis than on us. it’s not us who brought the company to IPO, but the Saudis, etc. etc. etc. you just don’t want to understand only the one thing that is beneficial for Russia in this situation is a deal involving the states. otherwise, the more we reduce the more market they capture. I repeat, while we were in the transaction, the guardianship of the states filled everything with their product that was being reduced. and for a couple of years while we were freezing projects ahead of us in the market. a few more years of such dynamics, and even if prices were high revenues would still fall.

                  Well, I read it. As a woman I could clearly see the female logic, which the Saudis took advantage of in their juggling: since Russia refused the proposed reduction, it means Russia is to blame (for everything), but according to normal logic, the main thing here is not the reduction itself (but at least the increment), but the proportion of complicity in this perturbation. According to the proposed proportion, Russia should be the main patient - hence the refusal of complicity. Putin revealed the unnamed essence of the result of this perturbation, and the Arabs wanted to be purely feminine - so that everyone would see that the man (in this case Russia) was to blame for everything.

          NWF of Russia. The Russian State Reserve Fund is part of the long-term pension mechanism of citizens of the Russian Federation. NWF is formed at the expense of additional federal budget revenues from the oil and gas complex and revenues from own funds management.

        The budget for 2020 at KSA is $ 272 billion.

        Current reserves of KSA - $ 501.8 billion. Plus the ability to lend. Plus the ability to cut back on appetites by cutting down on a number of construction and image-building programs. By type - steeper / higher / harder than in the UAE / China.

They have quite a few other areas of income for themselves, while the same Sabik manages money, larger than the budgets of many countries, including European ones. And he has low oil prices, even a plus.

            If the budget is not cut very much, then they will live on a pillow for 5 years. If you introduce real austerity, cut the same military budget, they spend on the army - 78 billion, this is more than Russia and less than just China and the United States. Cut different projects of image character, level so that the coolest in the world, bite the Chinese and the emirates. Leave only profitable or giving places in the long term, then you can stretch the pillow for 7-8 years.

            Historically, in the United States, oil refining is based on imported raw materials, and production is exported. Low prices are good for refining and consumers, and politically these are the votes of voters consuming petroleum products. But this is fatal for miners, and extremely unpleasant for banks and insurance, on whose money this banquet, i.e. for financial circles, and these are politically the voices of financiers.

        Russia warned of a possible increase in food prices up to 20%
        Manufacturers and suppliers of food called for a review of procurement prices - a maximum of 15-20%.


        The government decided to ban the import of petroleum products into Russia to prevent the supply of cheap foreign gasoline to the domestic market

        This fuss with the price of a barrel is extremely unpleasant for me.
        Our financial elite once again demonstrated their complete incompetence.
        The Saud shouldn't have spit in their soup, knowing that America is asleep and sees such a "raskardash" capable of ruining Russian Western contracts for the oil industry.
        Unpleasantly in a dependent position?
        Not that word!
        But what have we achieved?
        Oil is getting cheaper. The ruble is pouring in. Prices in Russian stores are rising. The people are getting poorer ...
        And all this against the background of universal quarantine, a nightmare of Russian small and medium-sized businesses ...
        It is necessary to slow down this process! At any cost.
        People first. Then we'll talk about dignity ...

        "incompetence" does not come from "financial elites" here laughing
        All right, hysteria of Saudi and USA confirmation. Russia does not need a deal without the United States. If the United States shuts down oil imports, they will free the markets. If the Americans bend the Saudis and at their expense want to drive, then this is also unlikely to suit.
        Saudis cannot do anything against Russian oil workers. And the United States has only two ways (but the end is the same) - either to negotiate or to close all production to local consumption.

The author notes the fact that a decrease of even 10-15 million barrels per day will only give a temporary increase in oil prices and predicts a further drop in prices to $ 10 per barrel. It also regrets that such an agreement is adopted, if accepted !, too late.
