Pioneer CEO Sees $100 Oil By End Of Year

Brent crude oil will be around $100 per barrel by the end of the year, Pioneer CEO Scott Sheffield has predicted.

Oil has been rangebound over the last five or six months, Sheffield said, although Chinese demand is picking up

"significantly".

"I think that what we'll see…. Brent will break $90 this summer and climb back up to $100 sometime in the second half of the year." He expects WTI to be in the low $90s by the end of the year.

Despite the calls for $100 oil, Pioneer's CEO reiterated that capital discipline is still the name of the game, adding that its shareholders haven't changed their view on that. "We see no change at all," Pioneer CEO Scott Sheffield told Bloomberg today.

Exclusive: Russia plans deep March oil export cuts, sources say

Russia plans to cut oil exports from its western ports by up to 25% in March versus February, exceeding its announced production cuts in a bid to lift prices for its oil, three sources in the Russian oil market said.

Russia had already announced plans to cut its oil production by 500,000 barrels per day in March, amounting to 5% of its output or 0.5% of global production.

U.S. treasury officials have said the Russian decision to cut oil production reflects its inability to sell all its oil.

Washington has said it pushed for the introduction of price caps to limit revenues for President Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine but have set them high enough to avoid a further spike in global oil prices.

Moscow has repeatedly warned that the export of tanks from the West to Ukraine would amount to an escalation of the war. In today's video I give my thoughts on Putin's next move that could cause oil to hit levels we've never seen before.

Demand in the third and fourth quarters will be 1.6 million bpd and 2.4 million bpd, respectively, above supply, it said. The IEA cautioned that the timing and pace of a Chinese demand recovery and of Russian supply resilience will affect its forecasts. The IEA called Russia a wild card, noting that production merely dipped in December when the EU import ban and G7-led price cap came into force. But it said this will change after the EU bans imports of Russian refined products in early February, when Moscow’s apparent move to increase refinery throughput and store significant amounts of oil will be challenged. The IEA forecasts that around 1.6 million bpd of Russian production will be shut in by the end of the first quarter, compared with pre-war levels, and this will reduce output to 9.7 million bpd in 2023, down by 1.3 million bpd from 2022. Goldman Sachs sees oil prices heading to $100 a barrel by the third quarter of 2023 amid China reopening Goldman Sachs expects oil prices to jump to $100 a barrel by the third quarter of 2023. The bank said China's reopening was likely to add 1.6 million barrels a day in demand to the market. Goldman's Nikhil Bhandari said supply was unlikely to keep up after underinvestment in recent years. Oil prices rose about 2% on Thursday on expectations that global demand will strengthen as top oil importer China reopens its economy and on positive U.S. economic data. The U.S. economy grew faster than expected in the fourth quarter "Crude prices got an unexpected boost from a U.S. economy that doesn’t want to break," said Edward Moya, senior market analyst at data and analytics firm OANDA. Oil Traders Betting Fed Can Produce ‘Soft-Landing’ With some investors saying the economic data suggests there is more resilience in the economy than is being talked about, some are already calling it a “goldilocks situation.” In other words, investors see the economy as decelerating, but not falling off a cliff as many had anticipated just weeks ago. What this means is that investors now feel the Fed may be able to pull off a ‘soft-landing’ if there is a recession. We feel that oil prices can surge if the fear of recession is dampened or eliminated. French bank BNP Paribas has made a commitment to reduce lending to the oil and gas industry by 80 percent by 2030 as part of entering a new phase in its decarbonization efforts. #oilprices #oilnews #opec

All eyes on China

China lowers demand before signing massive oil contracts

China tried to butter up the young prince with 32 massive contracts

China agenda was to settle these contracts in the Yuan

Saudi along with many others were concerned with Chinas faltering economy and said no to Chinese Currency

China has no choice but remove all covid restrictions and no better time as he has energy security after having all the agreements in place with Russia and Saudi

Why Oil Prices did not rally to $130 in 2022?

Russian disruptions did not materialize

Covid Lock Downs in China

The Fed increased 325 basis points causing a strong dollar and reducing

50% of the money supply. Without cash you can chase the oil rally.

The hike caused a 30% self-off in oil markets

If we did not have the perfect storm that suppressed oil prices, we would have hit highs of $140+ like the days of 2008 pushing us into a deeper recession. We’re already in a 5-year oil under investment cycle and the blood bath continues. All this does is suppress fundamental oil prices making it more likely to spike vs stabilize.

What’s changed?

Russia, evidence of the sanctions are starting to take hold and Russian oil exports are starting to reduce.

China is seeing increased bookings for holidays, increased subway usage etc..

Europe and India PMI up and rebounding

If we look at 04 to 06 they had rate hikes and eased them in 07 causing a massive oil price rally due to the fed easing rates and China economy being stimulated.

China largest commodity consumer in the world - largest oil importer - 2nd largest economy in the world is now opening the market.

Artificial supply from the SPR coming off the market

Fed plans to buy 200 million back putting a floor under oil prices

China demand should increase around 2 million

Russia supply drop around 1 million bopd

OPEC is supporting higher oil prices as they don’t have to compete with American Oil anymore
