Barrel “on a swing”: a real feast for speculators in the oil market


What is happening in the last couple of months with oil prices is a real expanse for speculators with solid capital. Earlier, a barrel of Brent crude oil in just a few days lost more than half of its value. Then quotations continued to fall, reaching values ​​of 18-19 dollars per barrel of oil of the mentioned brand.



Now, oil suddenly began to skyrocket. The increase since the start of daily trading at peak levels reached 18%. This is a real nightmare for the market and at the same time a holiday for those who use oil exclusively for speculative operations.

To get a daily profit at 20 percent, getting rid of some accumulated blue chips, and then play on the purchase of others - of course, it has nothing to do with the real situation on the market. The manipulation of large stocks of oil companies is direct.

Currently, a barrel of Brent crude is trading in the region of 23-24 dollars. Moreover, the "price swing" is such that literally within an hour the price can fall and jump by 4-5%. At the same time, there are (once again) “economic gurus” who are ready to explain the situation with “purely economic laws”. Laws that do not work during trade wars, and even more so under strict quarantine measures in the event of epidemics, but then they suddenly got it and earned it ...



So what is the explanation for the sharp daily increase in oil prices is given?

“Gurus” say that “the market reacted positively to the decisions of the governments of a number of countries to gradually remove restrictive measures.” In a number of countries in Europe and Asia, quarantine measures are beginning, if not lifted, then mitigated, and therefore "the market felt that oil demand could soon begin to rise."

How, then, to make constant statements about “crowded storages”, the same “gurus” prefer not to speak. Although, with special desire, those who are among the main guardians of economic regimes based solely on speculation and attachment to unsecured cut paper, in this case there is an explanation.

    This is "PAPER OIL"! It is related to real production and long-term contracts insofar as. According to a number of experts' estimates, there is a hundred times more paper oil on the exchanges than the real one.

      They cut down a virtual superstructure, where speculators, driving the air in the form of sales of resources not yet produced and not produced goods, earn money. Simply put, money is pumped out of thin air. The volumes of sold and bought "air" have already become equal and in some places exceed the volumes of material and physically produced values, which, when sold, can no longer cover any debts and obligations. One thing devalues ​​the other and becomes an obstacle to the development of the world economy.

    Vaults continue to fill up. In the United States, private companies were allowed to fill state strategic vaults. Four giant artificial caves at a depth of more than a kilometer with salt sprayed on the walls. Until the end of May they will be filled in full. After that, the USA will have to preserve the wells.

      To be precise, no one “sprayed” the walls with salt. These are real salt domes. During the construction, wells were drilled and water was pumped, which dissolved the salt. Thus, artificial cavities were formed.

    The "epidemic" of the coronavirus in Russia began because of oil. And if the price rises to 40, then the house arrest of Russians can end and move on to another tragedy - amendments on the usurpation of power, until the people finally understand that they have been robbed in order to mitigate the crisis for Western partners.

            1. With a mortality rate of 0,1-0,3%, the measures are inadequate. Even 100 thousand will die there, it is not critical. If the economy collapses (2 great depression), thanks to such "care", then millions will definitely die.

                These small percentages are counted from dead / infected.
                But if you count the dead / recovered, then the mortality rate of more than 10% comes out.
                For more accurate numbers, you need to accumulate statistics of recovery.
                Plus, doctors already suspect that even those who have recovered have consequences. Like after syphilis and tuberculosis. Now it’s not time to analyze these consequences.
                So it’s a bad infection.

    By the way, fluctuations in oil prices are detrimental to the Russian economy. The main thing is that prices would stabilize, not necessarily at a high level.

    There are no "buffer storages" for a very simple reason - a country that produces 4 times more oil than it consumes petroleum products simply does not need. There are about 100 thousand operating wells and any quarter of them in case of a deficit will provide the country.

    What is there? There are technological and reserve capacities. For example, the Samotlor TSC has (from memory) 200 tanks with a capacity of 5 to 20 thousand m3, and therefore can hold 2 million m3 of oil. This does not mean that so much is stored there. A good quarter of the tanks are filled with mud, sediments that contain salt, sand, clay and rust moistened with oil. Remember the attack on the Saudi oil park? Such tanks stood there, some with roofs, and others already without them. Some of them are to be repaired, the other to liquidation, but this is a troublesome and unprofitable business. That's why they stand. About a quarter of the tanks in operation, some are filled, others are pumped out. Why are there so many? Because in the past, Samotlor mined 165 million tons / year, and now - 7-8 times less.

    And even more serious tank reserves are available at the reception of Transneft's oil pumping stations. From time immemorial, the written rule applies: if you want to hand over oil - build a tank for a three-day maximum pumping rate. If your business is designed for 3 thousand tons / day, the volume of tanks should be 10 thousand cubic meters. This is necessary in case of pipe repair or other unusual situation. Again - the maximum production has long passed, but the tanks remain, now you can drive in weekly products.

    Finally, there are reserves of the trunk workers themselves at the pumping stations. The largest of them is located in the Samara region, where there are reservoirs from 20 thousand m3 to 100 thousand m3. I don’t know what their total capacity is, too lazy to look, but I think there will be three million. At all stations of the ESPO pipeline, the total reservoir capacity is 4 million tons.

    Well, the last one is the tank farm of the refinery. I don’t know the numbers in Russia, but in the USA it has a volume of about 105 million barrels., 14 million tons.

    Journalists are already completely foolish about chatter, and therefore they are lurking a question in which there is no boom-boom. laughing

    "Russia of democratic choice" solely by the will of the "democratically elected" president, a bicameral parliament and a democratically appointed government by them, has become an oil and gas appendage of economic systems and subsystems formed by world capital. These are not speculators. Thus, we are attending the celebration of world capital. In what capacity? To answer this question, one must understand whether the petrodollar economy will be preserved or whether it will be destroyed due to force majeure. There are fewer and fewer signs that it will be preserved. There are already many signs that it will be destroyed. The "pandemic" being experienced, the uniform reaction of ALL governments to this circumstance, is just another confirmation of the gradual establishment of a new world order, based on a fundamentally new method of managing individuals.
