The oil war: who hung the medal on his chest

109

For the first time since April 14, the price of Brent crude oil rose to almost $ 32 per barrel, continuing the growth that was outlined 2-3 days ago. Currently, the oil of the mentioned brand is trading in the range of 31,5-32 dollars per barrel.

If oil in the near future does not return to falling and prolonged “vegetation” at below $ 30 per barrel, then this can only mean one thing: in the modern world, such low prices are not beneficial to almost anyone. And if the usual rhetoric is that one of the major players is betting against another major player (the United States against Russia, then Russia against American shale, then Russia against Saudi Arabia, then vice versa, then Russia together with Saudi Arabia against shale industries of the USA), now we can state the following: countries engaged in oil production, in any case, cannot try to do everything for a long time to keep prices low.



Perhaps someone would like this, but there are several nuances: firstly, it will strike a blow at its own economy, and secondly, it will lead to an increase in unemployment in the oil sector (again inside a country that could hypothetically start a game against a competitor), thirdly, it can give advantages to other competitors not related to oil production.

As an example, we can consider one of the previously made assumptions. It consisted in the fact that the decline in oil prices is "typical US machinations against Russia associated with additional attempts to exert economic pressure for political purposes." Such a theory is hardly consistent for the simple reason that extremely low oil prices will give odds to another US geopolitical rival - China. And while in Russia, some of the elites of the American elites are perceived as “flesh from the flesh” (they themselves gave birth and nurtured in their time), then Washington still has ideological problems with Beijing.

Communist China, which has already bypassed the US in terms of economy, is a blow below the belt for Washington. And if you also give odds to China in the form of cheap oil, then the blow will be double. And now, someone, and China, could become the one who considered himself the winner in the oil war by hanging the medal "For Victory" on his chest. But now Beijing has stumbled on Washington’s allegations of concealing "viral" data, moreover, Washington has begun to look for extra-Chinese sites for its large production facilities. So with a victory, and China does not work.

Has Russia (or anyone else) dealt a blow to the American shale industry? Given that all this story With the collapse of oil prices, it manifested itself against the backdrop of an informational flurry about problems with the coronavirus; for the American shale, the situation has not yet become a special problem. The fact is that the President of the United States authorized colossal injections into the American economy, estimated at $ 2 trillion only in the first stage. The printing press is working to its fullest, something is not going to turn into a trash dollar. Therefore, something “falls out” of these freshly printed gray-green rectangles to companies engaged in the production of shale hydrocarbons. And if oil reaches a mark above $ 40 per barrel, then the shales themselves will again “float out” closer to their previous market positions.

Does Saudi Arabia get the edge? Theoretically, yes. Against the backdrop of extremely low prices, she was able to acquire the assets of several foreign companies. However, at the same time, she lost tens of billions of dollars in sales of “black gold” for nothing. Did you get a plus? So far they cannot even say this in Saudi Arabia itself. And if so, then success for Riyadh is extremely doubtful.

In such a situation, the oil war, which has been talked about and discussed so much, has not revealed a winner. "Oil troops" are pretty battered, and no one dared to hang medals for victory on their chests yet. The situation is not the same.

    There the Saudis galloped - they have a war and their wallet is bursting, Russia did not deliver "blows". Here the coronavirus has done more business - enterprises have stopped, carriages have fallen and towel-heads with the Americans, plus, they wanted to raise money where they basically do not rise.

          You need to get to the bottom of it, only then will the "difference" be visible. War is not a spontaneous phenomenon, it happens according to a plan. The war begins with the goal of defeating the enemy, forcing him to fulfill the difficult conditions that will be imposed.
          Who started, who is his opponent, what is the image of victory, where am I? Here is a short list of questions for which there are no answers.

              Thus, it was possible to find out that the cost of raw materials by 55–57% consists of various taxes and fees that the company pays to the state.

              But the fact that the state spends this money on pensions, medicine, science and education is a big question ... In addition, I even know why they raised the retirement age. So that you do not spend money on retirement.
              About the cost. This is the cost of gasoline at the outlet of the distillation column when the field and oil refineries are owned by the state ... Do we have Rosneft, like Gazprom, a public property?
              Look and look for yourself, somewhere there are calculations that the cost of gasoline is just ridiculous ... So people who know the process say. I look for a lack of time.

                And you do not confuse taxes with cost. Oil in the price of gasoline - 14%. In addition to 65% of excise taxes, the price includes the wholesalers' margins and retail margins (which seems to be only 0,78% for salaries and gas station equipment). So at a cost of gasoline of 14 rubles, gasoline should cost 100.

              written in the 90s
              Argentina holds 0,3% of the world's crude oil reserves. Strictly speaking, the country was a net oil exporter. From 1995 to 2008, Argentinean crude oil exports accounted for 11,5% of its total. However, oil production in Argentina does not satisfy growing domestic demand, which means that the contribution of oil to the trade balance will continue to decline.
              In the mid-1990s, Argentina was recognized as a country with great opportunities for gas exports. Ten years later, it may become a net importer of this raw material.


              In terms of resource endowment tore recoverable oil Argentina is one of the ten world leaders: according to the Energy Information Administration (AEI), it ranks fourth in the world in terms of technically recoverable hard-to-recover oil resources after Russia, the USA and China. Technically recoverable oil resources of shale formations in Argentina are 27 billion barrels, or 8% of the world's resources ...


              Hydraulic fracturing costs show even greater gaps: in Argentina they are 8 times higherthan in the USA due to the use of proppant (sand) from the USA and Brazil.

                  Well Mozdok is not Chechnya at all .. And at whose expense this Blooming Land was created and for what finances does Kadyrov have such a motorcade? The cost of the tuple is more than the budget of some constituent entities of the Russian Federation

                        On the subject of pension, I talked with Random (is this also your nickname? Did I understand correctly?)
                        There he (you have it) had numbers, and I voiced mine.
                        To retire (yes, even to retire), for those who are dull, I left at 34 years old, and now I am 47 years old (in any case, there were so many yesterday, today it’s already more).
                        Why distort everything?
                        So the size of the pension for an "engineer" is too much, but for a test pilot it is too small .. So, ancient-Accidental, somehow you can't beat ... If we're talking about that dialogue, with Accidental.

                        Oxygen systems for the crew are:
                        - BKO-5K - a block of oxygen equipment, which includes a mask with a mechanism for adjusting the force of attraction to the face, which is especially important when performing a long flight;
                        - KDA-15 - oxygen-breathing equipment that is used when flying at altitudes up to the practical ceiling of the aircraft’s flight, including in a pressurized cabin and when leaving the aircraft (used on aircraft such as Su-27, Su-30, Su-34);
                        - KKO-LS-2 - an easily removable set of oxygen equipment for flights at altitudes of up to 6 km (installed on helicopters such as Mi-24, Mi-26, Mi-28, Mi-35M).

                        Emergency oxygen systems for passengers:
                        - AKB-204, designed in case of depressurization of the aircraft (installed on civil aviation aircraft such as Tu-204, Tu-214).
                        - Portable oxygen supply units (BKP), designed to move around the aircraft in case of smoke (used on civilian aircraft type An-148, Il-96, Tu-204, Tu-214).
                        - Stationary oxygen installations (KU-7 and KU-8), designed to test the operation of all aviation oxygen devices (can be operated in all climatic regions directly on the plane and outside the plane).
                        And you studied in the pulp and paper industry and PLC a high-altitude set of oxygen equipment KKO-5, which relates to [b] personal oxygen systems

        For me, the increase in consumption, when you need a fat black slurry and gas, in real-natural form, leapfrog with paper "assets" will decline, because it is interesting only to speculators!
        This is precisely the crisis that has been shown the next, but not the last time!

    The situation of "no peace, no war" will be short-lived, because the losses of many billions of dollars need to be compensated somehow. And there is only one option - removal, possibly partial, or temporary, of at least one of the largest players in the world oil market from it!

    Does Saudi Arabia get the edge? Theoretically, yes. Against the backdrop of extremely low prices, she was able to acquire the assets of several foreign companies. However, at the same time, she lost tens of billions of dollars in sales of “black gold” for nothing.
    -----------------------------
    The Saudis gained market shares where they had never been, namely in Europe, having managed to "climb" into the Russian "clearing". True, they lost in the same China, but nevertheless the Saudis showed that if something happens, this tiger will not be a cat.

      Have you climbed? The type of oil does not always make it possible to buy anything from anyone. Not every oil will fit an already configured refining process. Talking about discounts for the European market is one thing, but selling and delivering is another. Plus, because of this whole game of demotion, the Saudis tremendously shrank the treasury, as did the reserve, even in Yemen they compromised. The budget deficit is enormous. If you dig deeper into what the Saudis had during this time, then I would not talk about any advantage of the Saudis. Do not forget, now there are so many tankers that are full to the brim, and another large batch is coming to the United States. it will anchor and the price of freight will rise further, and this again is a share in the price of Saudi contracts.

      The USA does not have a real economy; therefore, they trampled oil and gas to pump as insane.
      The service industry doesn't do things, but China does.
      Stupidly from Wikipedia:
      The structure of the US economy is characterized by pronounced post-industrialism. Most of the US GDP (79,4% in 2004) is generated in service industries (which primarily include education, healthcare, science, finance, trade, various professional and personal services, transport and communications, and government agencies). Thus, the share of material production (agriculture, forestry and fishing industry, mining and manufacturing industry, construction) is 20,6% of GDP: about 0,9% of GDP is created in agriculture; industry produces less than 20% of GDP.

    And if you also give a head start to China in the form of cheap oil, then the blow will be double. And now someone who, and China, could become the one who considered himself the winner in the oil war, hanging the medal "For Victory" on his chest. But now Beijing has come across accusations from Washington of concealing "viral" data, moreover, Washington has begun to look for non-Chinese sites for its large industries. So with a victory, China does not succeed either.

    Those who manage the situation always benefit. Compared to the United States, China has significantly fewer control levers. I think the USA will ultimately have the medal.
