Dozens of US companies announce resumption of shale oil production

64

After testing the $ 40 mark, oil prices fell again. The fall is still small. Currently, a barrel of Brent crude is trading in the range of $ 39-39,3.

According to the head of the research department of the National Bank of Australia Lahlan Shaw, the adjustment of oil prices in the direction of their next decline is associated with the "position of Russia and Saudi Arabia." The expert says that so far it has not been possible to set up a mechanism that would clearly regulate the rules for reducing oil production. According to L. Shaw, if such a setup fails to be implemented in the near future, the reduction in oil production will continue at best until the end of June, after which countries can again begin to increase oil production.



It is noted that the supply of crude oil may increase in volume already in July. That is why the markets are reacting with a new (albeit small) reduction in oil prices.

Against this backdrop, reports from the United States are coming that as soon as the price of oil reached the mark of $ 40 per barrel, several dozen companies returned to the shale production process.

In particular, EOG Resources announced the increase in oil production, saying that the forecasts for the second half of 2020 are favorable.
Large Parsley Energy returned to the oil production process, having closed 400 (!) Of its wells since March of this year.

If the shales do not resume their production, this will cast doubt on the very possibility of paying off loans.

At the same time, US shale companies, in fact, ignore questions about how their new increase in oil production fits into the US obligations assumed under the OPEC + deal. Recall that Washington for the first time in stories stated his readiness to reduce oil production “together with other producing countries”.

Although it is well known that Washington is taking its international steps solely in its own interests, which means that as it entered into the OPEC + deal, it can also withdraw from it at any time. At the same time, anyone can be identified as the main culprit: Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia.

      Nonsense is all this: after all, there will come a moment when Russia will not sell its oil tanker to the Yankees - what will happen when their oil expansion in the EU stops?
      And yes, this will not be an economic, but a political step by Russia, a kind of undeclared (and maybe even announced!) Sanctions, as a payback for "exclusivity" (and "superiority of wealth"!).

        Let's guess: omega will fall apart, the dollar will collapse, Russia will become a superpower?
        And does Russia send many oil tankers to the USA? And then after all, I remember, Zhirinovsky also threatened to collapse the dollar, having sold 150 billion dollars of gold and foreign exchange reserves of Russia. Well, this is a little fat! What to take from him? His electorate has roughly the same level of aikyu.

        Well, of course, the omega immediately begs for forgiveness. How else? They will not have any leverage for an answer. You should at least send a letter to the president with your thoughts on how to bring America to its knees. And then after all, SUCH ideas disappear in vain fellow

        In order for shale oil companies to die, it is necessary to keep oil below the profitability threshold for about 3 years, it is better to significantly lower it - 15-20 dollars. Then people will be retrained (they will go to sellers in Wallmart, pizza delivery men, etc.), the equipment will be sold, and all kinds of permits will be canceled.

        However, after 3 years, if the price jumps to 50+. That new shale will begin to form. Gather equipment, people, old intelligence data, permits, and new oil from new companies will already go for the year.

        Such short periods (less than six months) is a return to production in 1-2 months at favorable prices.

        So Putin and Trump have agreed.
        From Trump's interview with Fox Radio:
        “Well, he (Putin) helped us with the oil industry, which is good for him too, and we raised it and now we can save millions of jobs in Texas, North Dakota and other places in Oklahoma. Now production is stable there. They ( oil prices. - Ed.) went down to zero, it would cost five million jobs. But in general, it's not a question of what he did. It is a matter of common sense, "Trump said.
        Speaking about the events at the G7 summit, Trump stressed: "Half of the meetings are dedicated to Russia, if he was there, it would be much easier to find a solution."
        "We are sitting there and wasting time, because in order to finish the case, someone has to call Putin on various issues. So I say: he needs to be in the hall," the US president added.

    The largest decline in production is expected in the Permian basin - by 87 thousand to 4,29 million barrels per day. Production at Anadarko, according to EIA, will be reduced by 28 thousand to 434 thousand barrels per day. "

    At the same time, US shale companies, in fact, ignore questions about how their new increase in oil production fits into the US obligations assumed under the OPEC + deal. Recall that for the first time in history, Washington announced its readiness to reduce oil production “along with other producing countries”
