Oil is becoming increasingly difficult to call "black gold"

173

After yesterday’s crushing collapse in oil prices, which has become regular for a short time, the word “black” can be applied to various days of the week: “black Tuesday”, “black Wednesday”, etc. The crisis in the oil market, which they are now trying to explain with the coronavirus pandemic, is turning into a protracted phenomenon, with no-one making forecasts on the completion dates.

At 6:00 Moscow time, the price of Brent crude oil was $ 18,4 per barrel. Against this background, the WTI and Urals brands are trading at extremely low levels, which on some days even go through zero.



The OPEC + deal, which was presented as “successful” and which was supposed to remove the problem of overstocking oil storage facilities, did not solve the problem in the end. Many oil companies are announcing that storage capabilities are already at their limit. This leads either to the need to literally get rid of oil at bargain prices, or to abandon production on previous conditions.

In this situation, they see for themselves the advantages of the country, which are oil importers. But there is a nuance here. It would seem that they should “contribute” to the increase in oil demand. But so far nothing of the kind is happening. The global economy and turbulence in industry continue to fall, too.

Our country, due to “garbage” oil prices, receives less than billions of rubles in the form of tax revenues from the activities of oil companies. At the same time, some experts believe that only speculation in the oil market is to blame for everything.

In any case, the situation is such that it is hardly possible to call oil “black gold” today. At least it’s difficult - based on both its price and demand.

        It's time to remember the words of Volodin: not oil and gas is our advantage. Our advantage is Putin. Moreover, of course, he modestly kept silent that, in addition to Putin, he also meant the oligarchs with their court servants from United Russia, including himself beloved. So maybe it's time to sell Putin and all his gang instead of oil and gas? It is time, it seems to me, since they are a national treasure. Who has any suggestions?

            Comrade, for these thimbles no one will give a penny, after all, it's like selling a bubonic plague.


            The patriots have failed. For twenty years in a row they were eager to fight and were ready to sacrifice themselves in the construction of Great Russia. But when their hour came and the Nautical Leader found the right angle of attack for Amirek and her sixes, where it hurts, the patriots gave the back and pretended to be rags. And it was they who bet the first signs of a decline in their own level of comfort in the face of peaceful confrontation. Imagine how the National Leader felt, who had previously enjoyed wide popular support, it’s like collectively hammering the arrow and finding out that he came there alone. The patriots demanded war, and when the smell of fried was smelled, they did not show up at the recruiting station. And these people swore to go to the front. As a result, the patriot turned out to be a cowardly opportunist. These fighting "patriots" at a difficult moment for the country did not even deign to spend an extra 15 minutes at the machine. And they still remember Stalingrad, it's amazing how the Veterans don't spit in their hypocritical hari. Naturally, such a people did not receive help from the National Leader, whom the people essentially betrayed and abandoned, leaving their support in the form of posts on the forums. Now reap the fruits of your puny nature.

        Yes, no, also not a fact. What could they do to avoid this fall? Obviously, oil demand fell for objective reasons. It was not possible to keep it and the oil price at the previous production volumes. Well, think about it, got excited with these OPEC and the SA, well, got excited a bit, corrected for a month. Well, the markets reacted nervously, so what? then it was nervous, and now they are quietly falling for themselves for objective reasons.
        Until the real sector "digests" the accumulated surpluses, the price will not go up, and this is not a quick matter. Do not wait until the end of the year.

        And the fact that the whole economy is only tied to oil .. well, this is a problem from the Soviet era only aggravated in Russia.

      1. As soon as a goat climbed into the garden this was to be expected.
      "Goat" - the United States, "climbed into the garden" - began to supply oil for export.
      Obama lifted embargo on free US oil exports And away we go ... over the bumps.
      The embargo existed for 40 years, since 1975, from the time of the first oil crisis, when the Arabs introduced their embargo on oil supplies to Western countries (in 1973), in connection with the conflict in the Middle East.
      A strategic product for many countries, and the economy of dozens of countries is based on the revenue from sales of this particular product; this is literally the cornerstone for all OPEC and +++++ members.
      The lifting of the embargo on US oil exports and, as a consequence, the inevitable crisis of overproduction is the first act of the Marlezon ballet.
      After that, it remained to give acceleration to the broken “boulder”.

      2. The second act of the “Marleson ballet” we are observing now.
      The perfect picture is not a very scary virus. With a slight mortality, but panic is global. The Boulder rushed from the mountain, dragging the rest.

      More than 17 million people die from cardiovascular diseases every year in the world. Compare with the results of the "work" of the coronavirus, with the numbers that are broadcast from each iron. Think about it.

      3. Take away and redo everything, preferably without a "hot" war.
      The guys play for a long time. And this is not Trump / Obama or C, and certainly not GDP. The aforementioned leaders - like frogs on the preparation table, brought an electric discharge to the foot - the foot twitched.

      Who are the “guys”? I think that there are only a few of them. The notorious Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, quite possibly the British royal family.
      2-3 family clans, with a family and business history of several centuries.

      This is not a conspiracy of terrible villains who, in super-secret meetings, think about how to plague mankind and giggle viciously at a secret refuge.
      These are quite normal, decent, virtuous and educated people, even philanthropists are quite imagined.
      But they managed to be at the top of the "food chain" for hundreds of years ... monarchies, revolutions, colonial empires, world wars, a parade of independence and more.
      And they know how to adapt better than anyone. Moreover, from some time they adapt (shape) this world for themselves. The goal is to stay at the top of the food chain for as long as possible.

      The rest are material and tools, or simply “food”.
      And nothing personal, as they say. It is just business and just life.
      Something like that.

      The rise will certainly, sooner or later, be. The only problem is that not all countries were able to survive 10-20 oil earlier.

        While you wait, the country will fall apart. I say again that Central Russia and the Volga region have always lived by their own labor, through the industrial industry, which is now successfully collapsed. With the weakening of the ruble, the former "luxury" in the form of imports will become unavailable. Who will feed the people and what? Should we sit and wait for the royal favors? They will not be, and this will be announced. Another thing is that the ruble is holding up slightly, because the dollar is also falling, having lost its oil backing.

              Under sanctions?
              Cuba under sanctions only from the United States --- and all. Charles.
              Nobody bothers her with trading with the whole world, planes fly, ships arrive, tourists travel.
              Are these tough sanctions?
              With regard to Venezuela, it is even simpler.
              There, on the part of the United States, some kind of half-ton maybe, Venezuela sells oil to the states.
              Their main problem is the socialism of the Leninist type.
              they have not yet understood, using the example of the USSR and the satellites, that the socialism of the Leninist path is the path to poverty, corruption and hunger.
              hopeless. And no sanctions have anything to do with it.
              Compared to Cuba and Venezuela, Russia is under sanctions ten times heavier.

      Judging by the latest statements that have flown out of the languages ​​of the "responsible persons", it is possible to make a list of what is quite possible, already planned to compensate for the lost income of the "raw material superpower":
      1-introduction of a "digital state" - a unified digital register of citizens and a "digital profile of a citizen", in order to make it convenient to carry out measures to fully control the income and expenses of each citizen. :
      2-raising taxes on movable and immovable property,
      3-introduction of compulsory "insurance" of property, "natural risks" and "health",
      4-part "freezing" and "degreasing" of ruble and foreign currency deposits in banks. With foreign currency deposits, they can do what Mr. Kostin suggested at one time, forcibly converting them into rubles and "partially" freezing them.
      5-introduce automatic taxation of any "income" to an account or a savings credit card.
      6-rise in prices for the services of the "state" - registration, issuance of supporting documents, identity cards, etc.
      7-the introduction of new fines, and an increase in the size of old fines, the expansion of "plato" to all vehicles, continue to transfer roads to private ownership and make them toll (supposedly for their timely repair and maintenance in good condition),
      8 - partially or completely abolish the VAT refund (here it is, personally I am "for" - because this is a source of all kinds of abuse),
      9-registration of all citizens who do not have tax deductions, as "self-employed" with the appropriate taxation,
      10- abolish the concept of minimum wage, wages will be regulated only by the consent of the employee to the conditions of the employer, work only for food is normal,
      11-identification of all rental housing for tax purposes,
      12-taxation of "income" from the sale of things at flea markets such as "Avito" regardless of their initial cost (excluding the fact that it is used and sold at a price below the purchase).
      13-sale of land without restriction and without taking into account citizenship,
      14-admission to the domestic market for natural resources of all comers,
      15- "water is more expensive than oil" and should replace oil - widespread trade in water resources abroad,
      16-expansion of the sale of food abroad (the population will provide for itself in the garden plots, and for those who do not have it, they will buy it, and for those who do not have enough funds, the introduction of a limited distribution of products, the "card system").

How much PR was back in 2013: oil sands, the cost of new fields not lower than $ 70-80, the Shtokman superproject, Brazilian alcohol instead of gasoline and other "prospects ".. Now all these prophecies" met with laughter. "

    Let's see what decision the feudal lords URALS will make. They determine the real policy in the Russian Federation. They can be offered "Oil in exchange for something" ...

      Bye, yes. But who can say that this will not happen in the future? Where will our oil workers put oil when all storage facilities are full? Preservation of wells in our country is a very expensive pleasure, moreover, not rarely leading to the complete loss of this well.

Why should we, like, "be afraid" of the market itself "will settle" and these are "temporary difficulties", moreover, "transient".

      It was just physically that it was sold at -35-50 of the variety, though in the USA. When all outbids began to get rid of papers on the last day. For if you can’t get rid of the papers, then PHYSICAL DELIVERY will occur, which is equal to wild losses for room traders, for 100 barrels.

      The reason for this is that in the USA there are almost no tanks.

      Brent is better so far, but if consumption does not increase or supply does not fall, the situation in the United States is very close. For, too, the entire fund is clogged, the tankers are clogged, even railway tanks are poured into storage wink

        Physically, oil from the supplier ("from the well") was bought for a very positive and real value. But how the buyer of oil will sell it there, and here the game begins. That is the question: futures (exclusively American (!) May futures) were traded at a negative price. Those. it is a speculative value. The same Brent did not have such a phenomenon. And Urals, as it turned out, too.
        But where I will put it is already my problem.

        But this was the reason for the negative price of the contracts. Since exchange brokers do not have an oil storage facility (who would have thought), and the deadline for fulfilling oil supply obligations is coming.
        Here we must understand (and not many can) that oil storage is not profitable, because it is very expensive and ultimately makes a good added value for oil.

              generally that is
              Given the average well production rate in Russia of ≈ 65 barrels / hammer, to reduce oil production by 1 million barrels / day in terms of conditional full conservation, the Russian authorities will have to mothball more than 15 thousand wells, the Saudis - about 200 wells.
              Even this is practically an impossible task for the Russian authorities.
              Consent to this titanic work means that the authorities assess the situation in Russia as emergency.
              A decrease in Russian production by more than 1 million barrels per day will make Russia's oil and gas not alive, to put it mildly.
              And the Saudis will return production volumes pretty quickly, the flow rate of their wells is 100 times higher.
              That is, speaking of the fact that Saudi Arabia and Russia reduce production by 10 million barrels per day, they are hurt more precisely in Russia.

    Before putting wells into conservation, it is necessary: ​​a) to lift equipment from the well. When mothballed for more than one year, underground equipment rises in wells equipped with hydraulic rod pumps; b) run the tubing, flush the wellbore, clean the perforation interval; c) check the tightness of the column and the absence of annular circulation; d) fill the wellbore with a neutral fluid, eliminating the corrosive effects on the string and ensuring the conservation of reservoir properties of the productive horizon and the necessary back pressure on the formation.

    At 6:00 Moscow time, the price of Brent crude oil was $ 18,4 per barrel. Against this background, the WTI and Urals brands are trading at extremely low levels, which on some days even go through zero.

    Miracle author, you know in general how negative prices are formed on overbought contracts for the supply of oil? Do you distinguish between oil prices and the prices of paper speculators (contracts), which they try to shove each other in the hope of earning money from changing oil prices? Obviously, that is not in the know. Why then climb to compose such garbage? Oh yes, the site owners want to eat.

    Negative contract prices only speak of market expectations и brokers forecastand not about the fact that right now the producer will start pouring bucks into your pocket for the fact that you deign to accept its oil.

    In particular, WTI crude oil sometimes drops significantly below zero because US oil storage facilities are almost full and it is becoming too expensive for speculative traders to rent storage volumes if they do not manage to drop contracts on the exchange.
    The price of Russian oil fell to virtual - $ 2 because of a skepticism at one point about the ability of Russia to make deliveries by tankers against the background of an overloaded tanker fleet, this did not apply to pipeline oil.

    Therefore, it’s enough to carry this ridiculous nonsense already in the “super-articles” with the frank purpose of inciting a holivar in the comments and powdering people's brains.

    Against this background, the WTI and Urals brands are trading at extremely low levels, which on some days even go through zero.

    Here's a look above how this team of bots has built up cons of factual information, without any objections (there is nothing to argue). This is a reflection of their dull malice that they are prevented from sowing provocations, lies and incitement.

    Site administration, maybe it's time to get pens from pockets already white?

    If oil retains its negative value, then a barrel of oil will soon begin to be dumped!

    Although, perhaps, this is exactly what was predicted in this ingenious article:


    We survived until the breakthrough 2020, now we’ll live! The economy does not depend on oil anymore, it remains about the average salary of $ 2700 and apartments of 100 squares per family of three, how to justify it)))

    Quiet years of development were expected. No one foresaw attempts at sanctioned strangulation and crises. I agree with the fact that the Ministry of Economic Development showed great naivety. They are not experts in geopolitics, but nonetheless. They will try not to give us these calm years of development by any means. Including stuffing on Russian-language sites.

      there is an old anecdote the difference between expectation and reality
      the son comes to his father and asks:
      “Dad, what's the difference between expectation and reality?”
      The father wondered how it would be easier to explain to his son. And came up with. They approach his wife, the husband asks:
      - Here, wife. Would you surrender to whomever Vasya was for a million dollars?
      - Well yes.
      Father thought again. Suitable for daughter:
      - Here, daughter. Would you give in to whatever Keshe for a million dollars?
      - Of course!
      Father thought more deeply. They went to grandfather.
      “Grandfather, would you give yourself up to Petya and Kesha for a million dollars? And nobody asks them.”
      Grandfather thought and agreed.
      Father is standing and thinking how to explain this to his son now. Well, I came up with it.
      - Here you see, son. In the future, we have 3 million dollars, but in reality two whores and one old pervert! =)

      well of course.
      No one thought that an answer would come in the form of sanctions for Crimea.
      in Europe, however, some gays have all their thoughts at all - who should surrender in the nearest gateway.
      And here, since sanctions - yes
      -If you need to repeat, it didn’t scare.
      They are even - More sanctions and counter-sanctions were not scared-- gays. in a word.
      In general, you have to pay for everything in this life, and the same for green men.

    What happened was to happen a long time ago. The restructuring of the economy was needed a long time ago. But Putin was too late. Further than being the president of the oligarchs, who have only enriched themselves in the extraction of raw materials, to continue is utopia, but fear of losing power only increases the degradation of the country. But Putin simply can’t change anything except to bet on the good old oligarchs who are loyal and lured. Tk remained in development in the 2000s, and the mindset was rebuilt, all the more so the aging and senile decline. Therefore, the turnover of power is important. This update is at the request of the community. But new challenges, etc. One cannot rule a century according to the same pattern. In a dynamically developing world. We need reforms and investments in non-resource sectors. Pharmaceuticals, IT, engineering, shipbuilding, aircraft manufacturing, automotive, electronics and related industries, agricultural sector. Even fish is easier to take to Norway than to Murmansk. And they have been talking about the problem for decades. But there is no solution. Remove elementary bureaucratic obstacles. In general, I see nothing good. They will only breed and empower the siloviki to protect the power more effectively from the people. In other words, it’s better to hide. And for thirst to rule for life, entire generations will pay.

    We are waiting for new taxes

    See what bacchanalia is just happening in this thread.

    The information war in its purest form.

    True, the performers are good for nothing, except for the previously formulated stuffing and riveting of minuses to those who publish the facts. Intelligence is no longer enough for a discussion. Consumables purchased for the war is the cheapest.

    Wholesale, cheaply, in the country of 404 and just not very smart people to fall for the “new socialism” from Platoshkin and Co., which carries such nonsense that an adequate person on the other side of the street will move away from him. Quote: “After 3-4 days, hunger riots will begin in the country, then we need to seize power.” Bulk in another package, which donates not to shkolota, but to pensioners.

    The first question that arises when you see your letters: why are you so worried about Putin and Lavrov, together with Crimea and Russia's geopolitics? Are you a part-time agent here? Pay decently though? I understand that it’s not a million, and in the long term there are no 3 million, but still?

    Well, you did decide to do this, which means you are hoping for something there, although this is ridiculous, to be honest. You constantly confuse incendiary Arab guys with Russia.
    Russia is one of the pillars of civilization in the world, if you look at things completely unemotionally and objectively. You just can’t decide on such a thing. You were called for another. If you still remember.

    No one thought that an answer would come in the form of sanctions for Crimea.

    In 2008, Crimea was still very far away. When it got closer, we thought, prepared, took into account.

    well, a specialist in geopolitics - Lavrov and the Darkest with multi-paths --- well, and as a result?

    Very good result. As you can see, Russia was neither able to "tear to shreds" nor "isolate", as Obama dreamed and hastened to announce, nor to intimidate. A somewhat different sort of people lives with us in order to frighten him. Moreover, under these conditions, one of the highest gold and currency reserves in the world has been accumulated. The operation in Syria was completely successful with a huge geopolitical resonance in favor of Russia. So your question is rather rhetorical.

    They are even - More sanctions and counter-sanctions are not scared

    Mutual losses, while, as mentioned above, Russia managed to increase its foreign exchange reserves, take its place in the domestic market with its own products, and systematically engage in infrastructure development and construction of gigantic industrial enterprises.

    You just have to try to nag and tell jokes on the site. This is a great success, of course, of all your “influence” hi
