Experts: Saudi Crown Prince lost the oil war

From the global oil market, there are reports that Saudi Arabia is rapidly losing sales in Asia. It is reported that in June at the refineries of Asian importers of Saudi oil will receive a third less raw materials than they acquire in the normal mode.

This is happening against the backdrop of the fact that Saudi Aramco has begun raising selling prices for oil and oil products for foreign buyers. However, the management of the company is faced with the fact that potential buyers are not ready to pay more, and therefore refuse transactions in the previous volumes.



This gave experts an opportunity to say that players appeared on the Asian market, ready to intercept those segments that previously corresponded to supplies from Saudi Arabia. One of these countries is called Iraq. He is generally called one of the most unyielding signatories of the OPEC + (or OPEC ++) deal.

In the West, the situation is described as "panic shopping." In particular, refineries in the countries of Southeast Asia, China and India are trying to slightly increase their purchases, even despite the fact that the storage facilities are filled with more than 80%. The increase in purchases is due to the fact that it is profitable, as long as the price of oil is still low. In other words, buyers fear that they may lose the opportunity to save due to the projected long-term rise in prices for “black gold”.

By the way, growth continues. Currently, a barrel of Brent crude is trading in the range of 32,2-32,6 dollars. These are the highest figures since May 6, to which the average price level for a long time did not rise above 22-25.

The decrease in oil purchases from Saudi Arabia is called by the oil refineries of Southeast Asia, India and China "the oil war lost by the Crown Prince." Experts believe that oil prices fell precisely because of the decision of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to increase production volumes and the initial refusal to renew the OPEC + deal. Now Riyadh is faced with problems in selling the desired volumes of oil.

      The prince has nothing to do with it: CSA problems are embedded in the structure of the world economy and in the role that the United States plays in conducting and directly regulating global processes, as well as in the fact that the United States is the parasite that sucks blood from the outside world.

        And I think "what does it have to do with it" - he could not start his game on his own, without consulting the Americans in advance, at least in order to coordinate tasks in the matter of the market collapse and achieving his goals. It doesn't work that way. Obviously, Saudi and American experts miscalculated, hoping to squeeze out Russia and other oil traders, and did not take into account the coronavirus, which led to a drop in oil consumption worldwide. As they say, God helped us once again - whoever comes to us with a sword will perish by the sword. The Saudi prince experienced it himself ...

          hi
          (IMHO), no. The Americans, starting a scam, always have a second, or even a third, version of the game in their bosom. It happened this time too. They urged the Saudis to weaken Russia by dumping oil prices, but they didn’t manage to "tear the Russian economy to shreds," nor to pioneer Russian sales markets. Disrupted its oil and shale industry and lowered the CA economy below the floor. The latter for the United States - on the drum. But America would not be America if, even in a bad scenario, it didn’t have someone. And yet she had - the same Saudis, instantly raising the issue of the terrorist attack on 9.11.2001/XNUMX/XNUMX, allowing the victims to file claims against the tamper of this terrorist attack - SA. The Saudis admitted that its organizers and performers were from the SA. Now the US has the motive and the ability to leave the Saudis in their sandals, blocking all their holdings and communing their assets. And what about the Saudis today? The point is seams, as Herr Engels said (although he may not have said that):

            It sounds beautiful in words, but in reality the main oil consumption is now in China and in the future in India and Southeast Asia, so the Saudis will find where to add oil. And the United States itself needs an influx of finances from abroad, so that someone blocking it will cost them more.

            You would think that the whole world stopped using oil and found a new source of energy. I think that the Saudis are getting around much earlier than some predict here, unless of course they are drawn into the war.

Moreover, the losses of the Pendos are calculated by the oil of the Saudis.

      The problems are far not only among the Saudis.
      Nevertheless, every two three days we see an article about how they lost with links to unknown experts.
      All this strongly reminds one more transformation of a zrada into an overpower.

      Quote: A. Privalov
      World consumption, for well-known reasons, has fallen. Not sold today - will be sold tomorrow.

      It is clear that they will sell. This may not even be discussed. But at what price - this is a completely different conversation. It is necessary to build on this.

      Experts believe that oil prices fell precisely because of the decision of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to increase production volumes and the initial refusal to renew the OPEC + deal. Now Riyadh is faced with problems in selling the desired volumes of oil.

      Who benefits from this?
      It’s strange if the prince shot himself in the foot. After all, he may not be very smart, but for sure he has a bunch of experts and decisions are made collectively. Just like that, billions of dollars are not scattered.
      Therefore, everything was calculated in advance.
      So far, the surface is buying up bankrupt small shale oil companies by large companies in the United States. Which is not surprising, because the Americans have muddied this crisis. That is, the rich become richer.
      It’s impossible to squeeze it out of the market just because oil refineries are being built for a certain grade of oil. That is, there is some obligatory minimum. For everything else, a struggle is possible, but a long one.

      An attempt by the author of the article to once again pull an owl on the globe. Question: How is it that the Saudis do not want to sell oil at bargain prices in Asia, with the fact that the oil war between Saudi Arabia and Russia was and ended?

      Another "news" without any links to sources. What are the experts, in what publications. And the author is again anonymous. In 2016-2018, at least Vestnik Mordovii was referred to laughing By the way, why did they stop taking news from there?

      There is no point in criticizing the country itself .. for in a generalized sense it is just a word, and already it hides people, power, nature, culture, etc.

      Somehow I don’t remember that here they "threw kamenyuku" about Russian nature .. or, they wrote "nasty things" to the Russian people, hayale Russian languages, etc ...

      But this is just lyrics.
