Oil “paper” and oil “physical”: prices are rising

67

Morning quotes of Brent crude oil showed record values ​​of the last few weeks. At 8:30 Moscow time, the price of a barrel crossed the line of $ 27.

If at the beginning of the year such price indicators for oil-producing countries could be perceived as a real nightmare, then at present things are quite different.



The impetus for rising oil prices was given by the new OPEC + deal coming into force. Its participants began to reduce oil, and for a number of countries it is generally happening for the first time in this kind of format.

Now the assessment of the market situation by experts is as follows: there is still an oversupply of oil on the market, many storage facilities are 90-95% full. However, according to the same experts, the phased exit of countries from the quarantine regime, the beginning of a revival in the production sphere, a decrease in production volumes - all this will ultimately lead to increased demand for oil in the world. Accordingly, the price will increase.

At the same time, there are experts who believe that the market today is not filled with “physical”, but with the so-called “paper” oil. And if you evaluate the real ratio of these "species", then the price of "black gold" can literally rush up. The reason is that market speculation is not connected with the purchase and sale of oil as such as a commodity, but with the sale and purchase of securities that are associated with oil companies.

Nobody can say how much these securities are “valuable”, that is, how much they are really provided with oil. A case somewhat reminiscent of the situation with the American gold reserve. It is available on the papers, but in fact? .. Everyone who wanted to check its physical presence, at least, received a letter with refusal, a list of reasons and an argument in the style of "gentlemen should take each other's word."

Oil “paper” and oil “physical”: prices are rising


At the moment, a barrel of Brent crude oil is trading in the range of 26-27 dollars. Accordingly, the Russian Urals added to the price.

      Saudi Arabia brought down supplies of Russian oil to Europe
      The war for the European oil market, which broke out after Russia left the OPEC + alliance in March, seems to end in favor of Saudi Arabia.
      By offering double-digit discounts and investing $ 1 billion in the purchase of shares in EU energy companies, the state kingdom of Saudi Aramco was able to oust Russian suppliers in the market where they had been operating for decades.
      The largest European refineries, including British Shell, French Total, Austrian OMV, as well as Spanish Repsol and Cepsa, sharply increased purchases of Saudi oil at a price of $ 10,25 to Brent, according to Argus.
      
Saudi Aramco's shipments through the port of Rotterdam, one of the largest oil hubs in Northwest Europe, have reached 1,42 million tonnes since the beginning of April, double their March levels.
      Deliveries of the Russian grade Urals, on the contrary, fell by 41%, to 935 thousand tons. Poland almost completely refused marine supplies of raw materials from Russia. Only one consignment of 66,5 million tons arrived at the port of Gdansk in April, which is almost 6 times lower than the March purchases (377 thousand tons).
      Deliveries of Saudi oil to Poland at the same time increased by a quarter - from 398 to 500 thousand tons. Poland continues to receive the bulk of Russian oil under long-term contracts through the Druzhba pipeline, built in the 1960s, Argus recalls. It provides about 20% of Russian oil exports, or 1 million barrels per day.
      But as demand falls, competition between suppliers intensifies, says a spokesman for a European oil company. In mid-April, Saudi Aramco offered deferred processors in Europe a deferral of payments of up to 90 days.
      “Saudi Arabia is struggling to“ process ”the buyer. Russia probably also needs to think about some special offers, ”a Reuters source said.
      According to Refinitiv Eikon, the total supply of Saudi oil to Europe in April will be 29 million barrels and will be a record one since August 2016. In May, European refineries will continue active purchases from Saudi Aramco, Argus predicts: despite the OPEC + agreement to reduce production by 9,7 million barrels per day, Riyadh refused to cancel discounts on its varieties and even increased them for customers in the Mediterranean.
      The discount on the Arab Extra Light variety for the South European has almost doubled - from 5,8 to 10,3 dollars to the price of Brent. Discounts on Arab Light will increase from 8,6 to 10,3 dollars per barrel, for heavy grades - up to 11,4 dollars. For Northwest Europe, a discount of $ 10,25 on Arab Light will remain in force, the price of ultra-light Arab Extra Light oil will drop by 80 cents - to minus $ 8,9 against Brent.
      “Saudi oil has captured a huge share of the European market,” says Nikita Blokhin, a senior analyst at Alfa Bank.
      “The interests of the two largest oil exporters clash in both (key) directions - European and Asian - in an attempt to grab onto a competitor’s key market, we see how one player squeezes the other in a fight that is almost meaningless. Nevertheless, in a world where $ 20 a barrel is a new level of resistance, and demand has reached a 25-year low, the principle of “volumes bypassing margin” applies, he argues.
      It is difficult for Russian oil workers to fight for the market. Urals, shipped from Novorossiysk on Tuesday, April 28, cost $ 16,83 a barrel. Since export duties are levied based on prices at the end of February and the beginning of March and amount to $ 52 per ton, taking into account transportation costs, Russian oil supplies abroad become unprofitable, Reuters calculated.
      
In the middle of last week, each barrel sold through Primorsk brought in $ 8,13 loss, and through Novorossiysk - $ 6,51.

            There is no paper oil when it comes to supply futures. The market price is determined by supply and demand. Negative oil prices were associated with delivery (rather than settlement) futures contracts.

            On the day when the expiration of the futures was supposed to happen (and then delivery), those traders who could not physically accept this oil began to pay those who had such an opportunity. That's all.

          So with a drop in oil prices there are no winners. Only losers. Especially the United States, whose system of dominance is based on the petrodollar and the Breton-Woods agreements.
          In early April 2020, U.S. leader Donald Trump, during a telephone conversation with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, said that the United States would withdraw troops from the kingdom if OPEC + countries did not reduce oil production. This was reported to Reuters.


          the Saudi prince was so surprised by the ultimatum set by the US president that he asked his assistants to leave the room to discuss this topic with Trump in private.

          During the conversation, Riyadh was informed that without this reduction in oil production, the White House administration “will not be able to prevent the US Congress from introducing restrictions against the kingdom, which could entail the withdrawal of US troops.”

          It is clarified that later Trump admitted that he should not have said this, because the kingdom is experiencing problems due to low oil prices.

              And for those who think it will be useful. So.
              In the world, the most widespread installations for the processing or distillation of oil (as it is more convenient for anyone) are "atmospheric" and "vacuum systems", and one such installation occupies an area slightly less than a city block. In addition to the column, there are about a thousand valves and other devices, heat exchangers, devices. Each oil has its own content of sulfur, paraffin, acetone, gasoline, diesel. fuel, oil and other components. Each unit is calculated and designed for its own oil, i.e. its percentage of the listed components. Each component containing oil in oil requires its own specific approach: dimensions, structure and other technological features. Even with such a seemingly small discrepancy in the percentage of gasoline and diesel fuel, at least the reconstruction of the finished product storage park is necessary, not to mention the reconstruction of the installation itself. And changes in the content of sulfur and paraffin, then the general approach to horses is changing. And what kind of "dudachek" will stop production for reconstruction for a decent period, for the sake of unreasonable problems of the Yudo-Saxons?

        "Reuters"

        Last month, China imported 31% more oil from Russia, while Saudi oil supplies fell 1,8% compared to March 2019, Reuters reported citing official data from customs. The total volume of crude oil imports to China grew by 4,5 percent compared to the same period last year and amounted to 9,68 million barrels per day.

        Of this volume, 1,66 million barrels per day fell to Russian oil, and 1,7 million barrels per day to Saudi oil. According to available data, the average price of Russian oil in March was higher than the annual average, but lower than the average for January and February. Imports from the United States were close to zero, while imports from Venezuela were at zero. However, imports from Iran grew by 11,3 percent compared to last year and amounted to more than 625 thousand barrels per day.

        Reuters previously reported that oil imports to China in March are likely to be lower than in previous months, as Chinese refineries are lowering production amid sluggish fuel demand, although they continue to buy oil to build up their reserves. Indeed, Reuters calculations on imports showed that the average daily consumption rate in January and February was 10,47 million barrels per day.

        Daily production is still declining at state-owned oil refineries, but independent companies are ramping up production rates. In addition, over the past two months, China has reportedly been building up its crude oil reserves, using the largest price reduction in recent years. Nevertheless, the rate of filling oil storage facilities will be lower than in previous years due to limited storage volumes, which provides less support for oil prices than in previous years, Wood Mackenzie said at the end of last month.

        Many players in the oil industry relied on China to buy more oil to replenish its reserves, and this could push prices up. This country is the largest importer of crude oil, which is why oil producers are guided by it when prices fall. However, this time the coronavirus brought down everything, including Chinese demand.

        Since storage volumes are limited, even replenishment of reserves cannot help prices that now remain below $ 20 per barrel for a long time.

        you drive ... Real oil refineries and chemical plants cannot very quickly change from Russian oil to Arab oil. This is tantamount to building a new plant and takes a lot of time, respectively.
        Most likely, all kinds of analysts wishful thinking, or talk about oil trading, which is just banal speculation. Traders are trying to buy cheap Arab oil at the lows and even at a discount to resell. This has nothing to do with real, live, natural oil.

        Here I wrote, and what I wrote. I copied something and pushes here. No analytics.
        Let's start on the points.
        1. Collapsed Russian supplies, look at the volumes of Russian supplies, they didn’t decrease, and a week ago there was a shortage of Urals oil, when in Texas their oil cost -30.
        2. The Saudis give double-digit skid not because they want to force Russia out of the market, but because they don’t take their oil, there’s nowhere and no reason to take it. The Saudis refueled the tankers and sent them to Europe, but they didn’t sell the oil from these anchors, they hoped to sell it on the road, so if you look at the vessels near Lost a right now, then you will see about 40 tankers, and maybe more that can not be unloaded.
        3. Russia has vertically integrated companies. That is, for example, in Germany, 30 percent of refining oil belongs to Rosneft. What do you think from someone these plants buy oil?
        4. They write about the losses of Russian suppliers and that we are in the red. Losses are not due to expensive costs, but the fact that the state makes large taxes on this oil. And at any time these taxes can be returned if necessary.
        5. Yesterday, 80000 tankers were shipped in Poland.

Interestingly, pork and poultry almost reached the level of the USSR (compare the Russian Federation and the USSR, area, population?), They have not yet caught up with beef. The peak of production was in 89g., About 4 million tons. And then a footnote, a peak in beef due to MASS slaughter, there really was nothing to feed the cattle - this time. The second - chased plans and records. Grain production is generally silent, everything in the palm of our hand, have become one of the largest exporters, in return for millions of tons of imports in Soviet times.

                The relatives of his wife’s cowshed in the Stavropol Territory, they say, is not very cost-effective. As I see it (I did not delve into the topic deeply), in general, for marketing in the Russian Federation, it is more profitable to import beef than to grow it. It is interesting to carry out an analysis of the topic - is it feeds or something else?
                As for Splkhoz in the USSR - land, farm, ONE owner is always needed. The planned economy, window dressing and collective farms killed Soviet agriculture - hence the growing price of grain for cheaper oil. What the followers of the "Return to the USSR" sect still do not understand

                  Albert, perhaps. First, you need your own land, your own feed production, at least crushing and mixing dry. Therefore, all the pluses get only large Agro Holdings, when there are vertically integrated structures. In the West, the same chip, there are also subsidies and subsidies to farmers. And they are bigger than ours. They have few large VINKs of AgroHoldings, everything is divided there - they feed alone, others raise and milk cows, process the third, sell the fourth, etc. At present, large farms are trying to take control of the whole chain - from the field (farm) to the counter - less costs, margins for intermediaries, etc.

                  A classmate called at the institute and recalled the story.
                  A long time ago, in the 3rd year (already big, but no brains yet), I, as an excellent student, a Komsomol activist and other other things ... were entrusted to carry the Institute’s banner at the May Day demonstration! The gathering was, as always, in the center, then they were built and quietly dragged in columns to Lenin Square. A little before reaching it (well, still about 30 minutes to go) to me in the presence of the rector and other superiors of the beginning. 1 department UNDER THE SCHEDULE gave a banner. I, puffed up like a turkey and happy as (there was a word fool, but it was automatically removed by VO), proudly dragged the banner to the end of the square and it turned out that all the authorities either remained in the stands, or quietly faded and the three of us remained: I, my friend is a fellow student with whom we planned to go to a certain company and BANNER. And what to do with it? And where to put it?
                  We had to drag the Banner on foot (about 6 km) to the institute. And there is no one except the watchman on duty. The watchman categorically refused to take the banner. As a result, after 2 hours we found a HOUSE beginning. 1dept. , who pretended to be surprised: "How, didn't the car pick you up !!!", but arrived and took the Banner. Since then, I have shied away from public activities like scalded.

                      My friend’s legs started to hurt. Moves with difficulty. He began to congratulate on May 1 and remembered how well done he was in his youth.

          What to do, the Yankees all wanted a one-time, plastic-paper planting! Only the most traditional bands hold on !!! We tsuzu, especially junk, do not! We have all the rules.
          But, in any case, the price bootleg will settle down, calm down, over time, it always happens.

      Oil “paper” and oil “physical”: prices are rising

      America is rediscovered - what a shame ...
      There is interesting material:
      https://pandoraopen.ru/2018-05-16/kak-rostovshhiki-zaxvatyvali-vlast-na-planete/
      Briefly, the essence of the enrichment of usurers was that they handed someone else's gold (left to them as collateral or deposited) on paper receipts. That is, one ingot could be pledged several times and at the same time receive a profit disproportionate to its own (initial) capital ...
      It was paper gold ... Why not paper oil appear ... The main thing here is not to give the fool a glass object of intimate purpose ... laughing

            Victor, you made me remember the catch phrases from the movie "About Little Red Riding Hood" ...
            - All howling? Well, howl, howl, to the whole forest. You get it ... Click trouble, click on your head! We are already surrounded ...
            - Mama!
            - "Mum"! Wow - "mom"! You are going to take revenge on them, lumberjacks, eh? Or not? Do you think that your mother is iron? Do you think that she will endure this disgrace for a century? A year has passed since your brother was killed! And yours is a comrade! And in our forest, eh? What is being done? Scary! The soul is getting cold! People are walking around like at home! Small children - and they became insolent! Tudy-syudy run about every now and then! Scary!
            - Mom! I am surprised at you!
            - He is surprised! Brother of your own native a year ago ... U-BI-LI! And two - comrade! With him, everyone lived in fear! Our forest was! Do not stick out! Our forest was! Oh ... oh ...
            - You see, mom!
            - Mom sees everything! Have you seen our forest? I ask you: have you seen our forest? A small one? Small, your nephew! After all, he strayed from the hands, looking at you! Small disappears! I see what day - it’s not sharpening its teeth! Who will take revenge? AND? And you - lie down, sit down! Wow, the hippo!
            - Mom, well! .. Well, do not talk about it! You know!

              If the teeth are not sharpened, then there will be nothing to put on the shelf. This is true.
              But if you just sharpen it, to infinity, some twigs will remain, this is also guaranteed.
