Beginning of the End of Oil Madness

Oil and gas is not about us?


In the midst of global anti-virus hysteria, US President Donald Trump decided to say that the United States is actually ready to participate in reducing oil production. However, he made a reservation that the Americans can do this together with other oil-producing countries, and moreover, such a decision has not yet been taken by itself.

At a briefing at the White House, the American leader generally spoke in an uncharacteristic manner. At least, he did not scare the audience with hundreds of thousands of potentially dying, did not show any aggression. But despite the fact that his regular “kickbacks” on the principle of “my word is tsarist, I want to give, I want to take it back” are already beginning to bother the public, the president, by and large, did not change himself.



“I do not know, we will need to make a decision on this subject. Maybe we will do it, or maybe not. “I think the reduction is automatic if you believe in the [laws] of the market.”

It seems that the window is closed, but the window remains, and not for nothing that Trump reminded that companies in the US are already forced to reduce production due to low oil prices.


Has it really come to a playboy in the president’s chair that no one is going to give their niches in the market to Americans? Not the richest Mexico, supplying fuel almost exclusively to the American market, was generally ready for some time to go at a minus price of its oil.

The American president gave his speech and explanation. For the most dull. “Because this is a market - it is supply and demand,” Trump said, answering journalists' questions about whether he would ask American oil companies to reduce production.

But not even a month has passed since the owner of the White House did not hide his satisfaction with the low oil prices, considering them beneficial to the world economy. Today it’s indecent to talk about any benefits to the world economy ... It’s about how to save it, even in China, which, even with a complete reboot, will face enormous sales problems.

It is hardly worth it now to explain that the consequences of global self-isolation can be much worse than the pandemic itself. But at the same time, the games of the oil kings turn out to be much more dangerous than draconian measures, which apply not so much to the general public as to relatively free enterprise. But not only the prospects for production and uninterrupted gas supplies, but the energy security of Europe and the United States with China, are directly related to oil and gas disassemblies.

Attempts to overstock cheap hydrocarbon raw materials, which the two countries made with the start of a large anti-virus campaign, gave them, in fact, only one thing - immediate benefits. In the long run, this benefit does not cost anything, especially since it will be necessary to launch the flywheel of the global economy, regardless of who benefits from the global redistribution undertaken by someone.

Forget about Nord Stream


One would like to repeat the famous words of Admiral Makarov, carved on the pedestal of his monument in Kronstadt: “Remember the war!” Today, a truly world war has been unfolded. No nuclear weaponswithout fronts and fleets, we can even say that without armies, although law enforcement officers were given a carte blanche that they did not dream of. Under no circumstances and emergency.


Recall again: oil and gas come in one bundle. And does one of the uninitiated imagine where the Akademik Chersky pipe-laying machine is now located? These days, when all the media are jammed with viral the news, only scouts and industry experts can find information about it. But, alas, neither one nor the other has a special need for this.

Nevertheless, just for the uninitiated - the latest information from the Marine Traffic navigation portal, dated 11:57 Moscow time on April 6. The Akademik Chersky pipe layer has changed the waypoint from Pointe Noire in the Congo to Las Palmas in Spain. According to the portal, the ship plans to arrive there on April 18.

In fact, it’s clear that the ship will eventually reach the Baltic. And the specialists of the Russian Gazprom, together with foreign partners, will certainly complete Nord Stream 2. But not in a hurry, and without tantrums and tough confrontation with the same States. As the saying goes, the provision is binding. The gas war is being postponed; the “war” on a completely different scale is on the agenda.

Today, there are already all signs that oil prices in any case will not be allowed to "go into the red" for a long time. The latter should be left to the bitter headlines of colleagues in the media. Futures, that is, contracts with a fixed price for the future, aim to increase.

Although for us in Russia, with a largely self-sufficient economy, it is hardly worth looking at oil quotes for any reason. Nevertheless, sooner or later, even with oil and gas, everything will be fine. Not completely, but certainly for a long time. The periods of normal life, by definition, still remain longer than the great wars and crises.

Live to thursday


“If there wasn’t a virus, it had to be invented.” Do not you think that this was said precisely about what is happening today before our eyes? At least, the oil kings, behind whom gas emperors modestly attached themselves, do not really hide the desire to take convincing revenge from financiers, ecologists and representatives of the digital industry.

However, while they are still engaged in a showdown with each other. And even if local crises and wars never stop. We are not used to it. Oil prices, as soon as the pandemic disappears, will immediately return from the dungeon, but will not return to the skies.

It’s a paradox, but even shale projects in the USA will certainly not be allowed to die. Is it worth explaining that the latest statement by Donald Trump sounded to the applause of the US oil lobby? In many respects, everything that we observe today is because the prospects for the extractive industries have become increasingly dubious with each passing year. Without any virus and without any pandemic.

The leaders of the world oil and gas complex seem to have learned to agree among themselves, as evidenced by the same deals with pluses. At the same time, the “shale” Americans are still trying to play some kind of independence, although such games seem to be about to end.

Beginning of the End of Oil Madness

At the same time, Russia can be considered a weak link in a series of agreements with OPEC, as it has more than other difficulties with the realization of good intentions to reduce production levels. And technological, and geographical, and logistics, and even political, Syria alone is worth something, and in Libya, too, the Russians are again not in the lead.

The Russian oil industry now urgently needs not only to save unprofitable wells, but also to prepare for their launch, and the princes from Riyadh need free hands in the same OPEC. In negotiations with the United States, of course, there can be no talk of any freedom of hands, and therefore we have to maneuver on another front. Russia was just on it, besides, it was negotiable for a long time, but on March 6, 2020 it took and rebelled.

It immediately became clear to many that Russia began a hard divorce from OPEC only because it did not want to give its market share to those who did not participate in the OPEC + deal. Indeed, in addition to the United States, by and large, Mexico and Brazil could not be drawn into it either. Now it seems to succeed.

It remains only to add that Donald Trump also managed to declare that he did not give promises to reduce oil production by the United States in order to raise prices during negotiations with Russia and Saudi Arabia. But this did not stop him from recognizing that low prices cause serious damage to the American oil industry. Trump has repeatedly stated that he does not doubt the successful outcome of negotiations with Moscow and Riad to reduce oil production. So let's wait until Thursday.

        You can beat yourself in the chest, you can throw your hat on the ground, you can tear the shirt on your chest shouting furiously: "Russia did not kneel ..."
        In fact, Russia is not on its knees, it is in the pose of a beggar supplicant, with an outstretched and open palm. An ultimatum was given to her. The ultimatum goes something like this: Russia choose where to shoot you, in the right leg or straight in the head. Zugzwang position. There will be no money at all, or a little bit. For a little bit of money, you have to go through international humiliation and admit all your attempts to bend the US and Saudi Arabia at the same time as a stupid "multi-move." But if this can still be done in the international arena, then repeating the same thing inside the country is in no way possible.
        Therefore, from all the irons, joyful news of a great victory is carried.
        The immortal must be alone.

          Do you seriously believe that Putin’s apparatus didn’t calculate all the options for such a step, and this situation with a drop in oil prices came as a surprise to him? Do not make me laugh. Even for simpler decisions that are prepared at the level of the president and the government, his advisers calculate all the consequences, and for this they always keep such specialists in power, although their names are not advertised as a rule. First of all, nobody bent Putin - not even a coronavirus, although with him he began to look paler like a president. Secondly, an airbag in the form of gold and foreign exchange reserves will provide the country with a decent existence for several more years. And thirdly, the most important thing is that Putin may not be afraid of Trump’s threats, if only because the next election will not be soon, and our military power will not allow anyone to control our president.

            But reality, it is objective and manifests itself independently of the will or mind. So the reality tells us that Putin has not solved almost all strategic tasks. Did not cope.

              Well, why didn’t he decide if the renewed armed forces fully guarantee us security in the foreseeable future, even after his departure. And at the very least, but the population growth has been outlined, and this is a very big strategic task, which, for example, cannot be solved in Europe. And the country is developing - one Crimea and its accession is worth it.

              We heard this Hochma from the Israelis more than once, but life has shown that the game of chess did not stand close to life situations in which the operational management of the country is much more important than strategic planning for many years to come. The collapse of the USSR just happened not because the strategic path (socialism) was chosen incorrectly, but because the operational management of the country fell into the hands of the ordinary talker and layman Gorbachev, which destroyed the great power.

              By the way, all the outstanding chess players have always had coaches or assistants, but that is not the point, but people who play chess worse than them have come up with a win-win algorithm, and now no grandmaster will risk playing with a computer. That's the whole price of grandmastering - life is too complicated for grandmasters, which is why there are no rulers among them.

Therefore, the leader does not think, but comes up with his many-steps. Which subsequently turn into brilliant victories in any situation.

This is evidenced by the statistics of the Federal Customs Service. Compared to the same period last year, exports of precious metals grew seven times.

                Most of the gold from Russia was exported to the capital of Great Britain, the world's largest physical bullion trading center, writes the portal Finanz.ru. For January - February 2020, this figure amounted to 15,4 tons for $ 775 million.

            On the example of Belarus, which is now buying oil at $ 4-5, instead of $ 60, we see a delicate calculation and all the genius of the KhPP laughing . It is necessary to hire even more Kremlin boats in order to make zhrada difficult, and greedy by great geostrategs.

      https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-vice-president-pence-members-coronavirus-task-force-press-briefing-18/
      Trump said, in fact, nothing.
      is the US willing to cut domestic oil production? What came out of the meeting? What was the consensus?

      THE PRESIDENT: Well, a lot of things came out. It's a great industry, it's an important industry, it's a tremendous job-producing industry. And it's just vital. And it was also very interesting because they all were given the test before they came into the room. So you have the head of Exxon Mobil, you have all these guys taking the test, and they all passed with flying colors. So that was good. They left happy, in that respect, at least.

      There's just an overabundance of oil right now - oil and gas. Tremendous overabundance. And it was caused - they were doing a great job. They were producing a lot of energy. But then you have the virus come along and it knocked another 35 percent, maybe 40 percent, off of the market.

      So there's too much oil. There's a glut. And these are great companies and they'll figure it out. It's free market. We'll figure it out.

      Q You spoke to President Putin. I mean, what's on the table here with him -

      THE PRESIDENT: And with the Crown Prince. both.

      Q Yeah.

      THE PRESIDENT: They were having a competition. We'll see how it all works out. I think it's going to work out very well. It's going to take a long time to - to get rid of that. There's massive excess amount of oil and gas. Massive Like probably there's never been.

      So where that does work out well, I guess you could say, is for drivers. I think, in certain locations, it's down to 90 and 95 cents a gallon, right now, on the road.

      But we have a tremendous industry, a great industry. A tremendously important industry from the standpoint of jobs. And we're energy independent. We have to make sure we keep it that way.


      Yes, Trump says, there is too much oil on the market, something needs to be addressed with this.

      The problem is that Trump at the same briefing, and later at the April 6th briefing, says that he will decide whether he will introduce a tariff for imported oil. And this will drop demand for non-US oil even more.

In any case, he will make enemies that he does not undertake - either among oil industry workers, or among the business elite, which has already suffered losses due to the coronavirus, and which Trump’s ambitions are not interested in becoming a superpower in the production of shale oil. They also know how to count money and have long understood that American shale oil projects and LNG delivery will still be unprofitable for Europe, and therefore no one will invest in it to the fullest. So Trump just turned into a corner, and now he is building a good mine with a bad game.

      For hydrocarbons (oil and gas) there is only one alternative source - this is nuclear fuel. But this source is only partial, and is suitable only for generating electricity. Electric cars will never play a significant role in transport.
      Alternative energy in the form of windmills and solar panels is a conversation for uneducated humanities. There are no such alternative energy sources.
      Oil prices below $ 30 per barrel are only possible for a very short period. You can’t sell oil for a long time below the cost of its production.
      Gas is even more complicated. The EU consumes more than 400 billion cubic meters per year. Of these, Norway and other EU countries produce about 100 billion. The remaining 300 need to be purchased. 200 go from Russia through the pipe, and the remaining 100 in the form of LNG. The current gas price in the EU is about $ 100/1000 cubic meters. No one can sell LNG at such a price, so the cost of liquefaction + transportation are more expensive.
      Energy suppliers will not work at a loss.

      II. Challenges and threats to energy security, risks in the field of energy security:
      8. Foreign economic challenges to energy security are:

      a) moving the center of world economic growth to the Asia-Pacific region;

      b) a slowdown in the growth of global demand for energy resources and a change in its structure, including due to the replacement of oil products with other types of energy resources, the development of energy conservation and increased energy efficiency;

      c) an increase in the global resource base of hydrocarbon raw materials, increased competition for energy exporters, including in connection with the emergence of new exporters;

      d) a change in international legal regulation in the field of energy and the conditions for the functioning of world energy markets, strengthening consumer positions;

      e) an increase in the production of liquefied natural gas and its share in world energy markets, the formation of a global natural gas market;

      f) an increase in the share of renewable energy sources in the global fuel and energy balance.

      9. The foreign policy challenge to energy security is the intensification of international efforts to implement climate policy and accelerate the transition to a "green economy".

    It’s a paradox, but even shale projects in the USA will certainly not be allowed to die. Is it worth explaining that the latest statement by Donald Trump sounded to the applause of the US oil lobby? In many respects, everything that we observe today is because the prospects for the extractive industries have become increasingly dubious with each passing year. Without any virus and without any pandemic.

    I categorically disagree .. can you explain the mechanism for saving planned unprofitable production at 50 dol-barrels, at 30-40 on which, in theory, oil will rise after the crisis. How do you see it for yourself?

    Indices of the global economy go to minus. Domestic demand for fuel from oil is falling (restriction on movement ......) The only reasonable solution in this situation is to reduce production. If ALL oil-producing countries reduce production by 10-20% (cartel conspiracy), then prices will return to their previous values.

    Although for us in Russia, with a largely self-sufficient economy, it is hardly worth looking at oil quotes for any reason.
    As for self-sufficiency, it’s very confident. For a country deprived of entire industries, not able to do much of what developed countries do, it has lost and wasted what it had, where even vaunted agriculture is 80% import-dependent and there is nothing else to do, as to CONSTANTLY watch oil quotes.

    Saudi Arabia has taken an extremely tough stance against Russia when discussing a new deal to reduce production and demands that Russian oil leave the market more than Saudi.

    Sorry for my pronons - but all this is garbage, the confrontation remained at the same level, we just decided to raise the price for a barrel, but the question is not in the price but in the place in the market laughing

    Mishustin’s government doesn’t give a damn about Russian industry; it prefers to give dates from the state budget to foreign companies, rag shops and even the gaming business, they have not forgotten at number 76 one of the largest bookmakers with billions in turnover

      Although for us in Russia, with a largely self-sufficient economy, it is hardly worth looking at oil quotes for any reason.


      Not an article, but a pearl on a pearl, at least this one mentioned above. It seems that the Komsomol guy wrote in patriotic frenzy and work-heroic itching. The joke is that NOBODY has agreed on ANYTHING. And the question is whether the United States will commit itself to lower oil production in at least some decent amount so that negotiations on a new one could start.
      As for the saying of the authors, this is just a laugh and nothing more. Brazenly lie in their article.

        When did the USA go towards someone’s wishes if it did not feel the axis of obvious and quick gain?

    The United States has a wedge everywhere. Low oil prices - their producers (those who invested in oil shale) will die, along with them banks and others who gave them money. High oil prices - all other producers howl, that resources are expensive, high cost, business unprofitable.
    If you print money - inflation, if you don’t print - bubbles will burst.

      The oil industry (production, without refining) in the United States provides 1% of GDP. Once again: ONE. And this is slate + traditional mining methods. Even if the shale oil industry dies of the word at all, there will be no tragedy for the US economy. So the wedge is clearly not where you see it

        Trump was worried. He knows that the US GDP has not been growing for more than one year, and for every percentage one must fight. And how many debts will the "shale" not return?

        And he probably knows that the US GDP is considered very strange, taking into account any obvious trash. And if we calculate the real GDP, in natural products, which can be felt, it turns out that the "shale" is more than one percent.

    We congratulate the brilliant strategists of the oil market (sechina and GDP), presented the US oil market, threw Russia and the Russians, for which, however, they received huge thanks to Trump. The owner is satisfied and this is good.

    I was especially impressed by the passage about "a self-sufficient economy in many respects." I didn't know any countries with a "self-sufficient" economy. Thank you enlightened. it would be useful to remind the authors that the decisions of the Opecs ++ have not yet been adopted. There is still a meeting of energy ministers and a final meeting with the adoption of final decisions ahead. How it will turn out - only God knows. To add the problems of SP-2 and a pipe-laying vessel is generally superfluous, the topic is so vast and ambiguous that it clearly deserves more than a couple of casually thrown lines. In a word, an empty article, worthless.

    I didn’t read comments, just an article. It’s important (for the future of the country) to see your hearth, no matter how regrettable it is to write. Many countries after the Second World War realized it, tacked along with it, seemingly indescribable, and then changed it. Yes, Russia lost the situation ( Yes, created by others at the game table) but not the first time! without panic. Sometimes, in order to win the war, you can and must lose the battle.

      Any developed state should strive to be sovereign and self-sufficient, like any living organism (if it is not parasitic), you should not be afraid of the scarecrow of self-isolation, it can even be useful for the country, people are born, including for the realization of themselves in work for themselves on your own land, and not for the blunt imitation and copying of someone else's from a foreign land, you need to respect yourself at least a little ..
      And according to the sanctions, it’s high time to announce to the population a certain list of goods and products that will not be imported from outside in the next half century, so that we can decide whether we will start to make them ourselves or we refuse them, as unnecessary. that to how they are superfluous. By the way, the mass of superfluous in the world is very large and many of them are not being brought to us, often these are disposable things that are in the trash and not on the counter.
