The Next Ten Years In Oil Markets

Consumption

An eventful 2019 wraps up a decade of turmoil in oil markets, in which Brent Crude prices fluctuated from as high as US$125 a barrel in 2012 to as low as US$30 per barrel in January 2016.

Geopolitical turmoil, economic growth, soaring U.S. shale production, and OPEC’s various policies to try to set the trends in oil prices marked the decade which is drawing to a close.

For the decade beginning in 2020, the key factors determining the price of oil are likely to be similar to those we have seen over the past decade, Andy Critchlow, Head of News, EMEA at S&P Global Platts, writes.

The state of the global economy, U.S. oil production and exports growth, and the OPEC+ alliance between the cartel and a dozen non-OPEC producers led by Russia will continue to influence the price of oil through 2030.

Geopolitical flare-ups and U.S. sanctions policies toward major oil producers, including Iran and Venezuela, will also shape the supply side of the market over the next few years.

On the demand side, the growing share of renewables in the energy mix and the increased use of electric vehicles (EVs) will begin to displace meaningful volumes of fossil fuel demand in power generation and oil demand in transportation over the next decade, many analysts say. Growing climate concerns may also start impacting investment decisions in new fossil fuel production, including oil.

The fundamental supply and demand picture will likely be ‘more of the same’, but the push and policies toward greener economies could be the new factor shaping oil markets and influencing oil prices over the next decade.

According to S&P Global Platts Analytics, alternative energy—including renewables, higher EV penetration, and hydrogen use—“will limit the overall call on fossil fuels.

“As we enter a new decade, the energy complex feels like it is all cascading towards a race to the bottom,” S&P Global Platts Analytics said in a research note.

Many forecasts predict oil demand peaking at around 2030 or in the 2030s. Global oil demand will reach its peak in the mid-2020s and flatten out in the 2030s, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said in its latest annual World Energy Outlook.

“Oil demand for long-distance freight, shipping and aviation, and petrochemicals continues to grow. But its use in passenger cars peaks in the late 2020s due to fuel efficiency improvements and fuel switching, mainly to electricity. Lower battery costs are an important part of the story: electric cars in some major markets soon become cost-competitive, on a total-cost-of-ownership basis, with conventional cars,” the IEA said in its outlook to 2040.

Unsurprisingly, OPEC continues to see oil as the fuel with the highest share in the global energy mix through 2040. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries expects EVs to hold a share of just 13 percent of the global car fleet in 2040 and sees the majority of the growth still coming for conventional internal combustion-engine vehicles.

OPEC has also been warning since the oil price crash in 2015-2016 that reduced investments in conventional oil after the price plunge will start to impact global oil supply in the 2020s. Through 2040, the world will need US$10.6 trillion in total investments in oil, OPEC said in its World Oil Outlook 2019 in November.

In the new decade, OPEC and its allies in the current OPEC+ pact will have to reckon with U.S. shale production, where growth is slowing these days as prices remain bound in a narrow range. But U.S. production will still grow in 2020, by more than 1 million bpd, according to nearly all major forecasts. U.S. shale production is expected to start declining in the middle or late 2020s, according to OPEC’s estimates.

The OPEC+ alliance will be tested as early as this coming March, when the partners are meeting to discuss how to proceed with their production cuts.

The coming decade will also test how (ir)relevant OPEC is on the global oil market, considering the supply growth from countries outside the production pact, the rising share of renewables and EVs amid falling technology costs, and growing concerns about climate change.

Global economic growth and recessions will undoubtedly also impact oil demand and oil prices over the next decade. So will the ever-restive Middle East with the Saudi-Iran antagonism and global powers vying for influence in a region home to one fifth of the world’s daily oil supply.

    https://tinyurl.com/yxy6dpyv oil price

    “Europe — once the home of the small, fuel-efficient compact — has fallen in love with the SUV. Some 40 percent of cars sold in the E.U. are now SUVs and automotive carbon emissions have, as a result, risen for the first time in a decade…This comes on the back of 17 months of slowing car sales in China, Germany’s biggest auto export market, and the losses being sustained on the sale of every electric vehicle (EV) sold, such as they are. EV sales in Europe have stalled without heavy subsidies: the buying public is, well, not buying…The article goes on to report German automakers and part suppliers, from Daimler and Audi to suppliers including Continental and Bosch, have already announced around 50,000 jobs will be lost or are at risk so far this year, as their traditional businesses become less profitable. This comes at a time of potentially crippling investment demands in the switch to EV production and development of the supply chain such as battery plants”

    https://tinyurl.com/sfdb93v zero hedge

    “So far, about $30 billion has been committed to developing these EV towns. The commitments range from fixed asset investments to development costs. It’s a move that’s typical of China’s “command-led” approach to its economy, as Bloomberg calls it. To us, it looks similar to the country’s real estate strategy: try to build it, and hope they come. That’s what China has been doing, erecting industrial parks, apartments and schools while laying out their offers – and sitting back, hoping that companies come in to take them up on thier offers. Between 2009 and 2017, the country spend about $36.5 billion subsidizing EV sales. This could be why China now accounts for more than half of all passenger EV sales worldwide.”

    Autonomous driving coming to the Netherlands, now for real. Dutch government announcement:

    https://www.government.nl/topics/mobility-public-transport-and-road-safety/self-driving-vehicles

    Autonomous driving already happens in the Netherlands on a test basis. Now new law is in preparation to allow autonomous driving without a driver.

    /DutchGovernment

    Clogg: the best way to start autonomous driving is to grant licences to private companies to invest in growing fleets of Ford Transit-like vans…

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxFRVkMYWOE

    …that drive up and down large highways, like over the A2 between Amsterdam and Maastricht:

    https://www.tuxx.nl/download/wegenkaart/wegenkaart.gif

    With this technology you can change your road infrastructure in an alternative “railway-system” with on-demand mobility via your mobile phone, with complete location-awareness thanks to GPS Galileo. Once you have your highways covered and everything works well, you can expand to secondary roads as well.

    The end-goal must be to discourage private car ownership, that you use your bike/scooter to travel over a short distance to a designated platform and hop on board a van and if necessary switch to another van to arrive at your destination.

    In the end you have a fine-mazed transportation system that is extremely resilient, uses far less fuel and embodied energy and is a factor 4-10 cheaper per mile than a privately owned car and has far less emissions.

    Society will be perfectly equipped to cope with social decline, if any.

    “Opinion: Your electric car and vegetarian diet are pointless virtue signaling in the fight against climate change”
    https://tinyurl.com/wpjusw8 market watch

    “Going vegetarian actually is quite difficult: One large U.S. survey indicates that 84% of people fail, most of them in less than a year. But a systematic peer-reviewed study has shown that, even if they succeed, their vegetarian diets reduce individual CO2 emissions by the equivalent of 540 kilos — or just 4.3% of the emissions of the average inhabitant of a developed country. Furthermore, there is a “rebound effect,” as money saved on cheaper vegetarian food is spent on goods and services that cause additional greenhouse-gas emissions. Once we account for this, going entirely vegetarian reduces a person’s total emissions by only 2%. Likewise, electric cars are branded as environmentally friendly, but generating the electricity they require almost always involves burning fossil fuels. Moreover, producing energy-intensive batteries for these cars invariably generates significant CO2 emissions. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), an electric car with a range of 400 kilometers (249 miles) has a huge carbon deficit when it hits the road, and will start saving emissions only after being driven 60,000 kilometers. Yet, almost everywhere, people use an electric car as a second car and drive it shorter distances than equivalent gasoline vehicles…Despite subsidies of about $10,000 per car, battery-powered electric cars represent less than one-third of 1% of the world’s 1 billion vehicles. The IEA estimates that with sustained political pressure and subsidies, electric cars could account for 15% of the much larger global fleet in 2040, but it notes that this increase in share will reduce global CO2 emissions by just 1%. We already spend $129 billion per year subsidizing solar and wind energy, yet these sources meet just 1.1% of our global energy needs. As IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol has said, “If you think you can save the climate with electric cars, you’re completely wrong.” In 2018, electric cars saved 40 million tons of CO2 worldwide, equivalent to reducing global temperatures by just 0.000018°C — or a little more than a hundred-thousandth of a degree Celsius — by the end of the century. Individual actions to tackle climate change, even when added together, achieve so little because cheap and reliable energy underpins human prosperity. Fossil fuels currently meet 81% of our global energy needs. And even if every promised climate policy in the 2015 Paris climate agreement is achieved by 2040, they will still deliver 74% of the total. We already spend $129 billion per year subsidizing solar and wind energy to try to entice more people to use today’s inefficient technology, yet these sources meet just 1.1% of our global energy needs. The IEA estimates that by 2040 — after we have spent a whopping $3.5 trillion on additional subsidies — solar and wind will still meet less than 5% of our needs.”

  9. REAL Green on Mon, 30th Dec 2019 6:18 am 

    This virtue seeking of rich liberals and extremist left is what REAL Green calls FAKE Green. Instead REAL Green is honest and realistic. We as a civilization have failed and this is due to the physical nature of the carbon trap with the behavioral nature of path dependencies. One of the primary failures is honesty. This does not mean renewables, EV’s, and vegan should be rejected. What this means is these technologies and behaviors need to be orientated properly. We do need to address the energy in food consumption and food waste. Food needs to produced and utilized differently. Less grain feed animals and less highly processed foods. Less globally traded monocultures replaced with locally and seasonal grown food. This means adapted diets that is reflected in behavior changes. Grass fed beef instead of corn fed is a prime example of the distortions of modern AG. EV’s are a great technology but they need to form a niche where they have their best application. City travel is a great use of an EV. Renewables are a great way to increase resilience but the current application is being applied to replace fossil fuels where instead we need to adapt how we use power first with more applications that embrace intermittency.

    This all points to behavior and that is where FAKE Greens fail miserably. They want all the comforts and convivences of fossil fuels but green. They think they can buy it and not make behavioral changes that involve sacrifices. In any case they are not doing a good job switching except in a narrow range with new electricity production. EV’s have failed to gain market share as advertised. Renewables are barely keeping up with new consumption. There is the potential for many new technologies to help us mitigate net energy decline but first behavior must change to allow these technologies to be truly effective. There is also the need to incorporate the reality of the carbon trap with path dependencies. Honest science both concerning the physics and the economics says Fossil fuels will follow us down. Let’s get out of denial of this and instead work to adapt the system for a less abrupt and destructive decline.

    It is well known the degree and duration of a shock has the greatest impact on adaptation. If technology combined with adapted behavior can modify a dangerous gradient of decline this is the best strategy. This is the best policy of them all for mitigating decline but there is a problem and that this best strategy is trapped too. The reality of our civilization is it is competitive and cooperative. This means we allow a diversity of activity to keep the peace. FAKE Greens must allow Brown DELLUSIONALS their activity and vice versa. Civilization is growth orientated so FAKE Greens can only say we can grow green and they get away with it. They can use delusional science to prove that theoretical solutions will grow the economy. Most realistic scientist who also respect economics realize this is not possible at least in the best cases that allow a status quo of affluence. This also includes sacrifice and the discussion of collapse. No politician can get elected on a platform of sacrifice and collapses.

    This means honest policy that might adapt technology and behavior is not possible in our current arrangement. This is the Key to REAL Green. The system is determined to fail. REAL Green says go local and hybrid in preparation. Embrace best class technologies and behaviors at the local level. This will mean embracing failure and sacrifice as your beacon of wisdom. It also means participating in the status quo for survival. We are in the Anthropocene so don’t be idealistic you will transcend this destructive way of life. Embrace the status quo to leave it. This is basically a green prepping way of life but it also means embracing brown ways. The attitude becomes adapt with the most bang. It means downsizing for resilience and sustainability. It means embracing low carbon not because it will save the planet but because it will make your local more resilient to collapse and more sustainable in survival of collapse.

    REAL green excepts failure as the prerequisite of activity that then embraces technology and behavior. The plus for the planet is a REAL Green has a smaller footprint because localism is the basis. The planet will support REAL Green because a lower foot print is more resilient and sustainable. REAL Green does not claim to be a refuge but instead a lifeboat to a new world that may or may not survive. REAL Green is also a hospice of behavior. A hospice is somewhere you go to die in dignity. In the case of REAL Green, it is about adapted behavior for the collapse of human civilization hopefully in a process that is not too harsh but REAL Green accepts a harsh collapse is possible and preps for it. REAL Green is about the journey not the destination. The destination accepts the pain of collapse but the journey is a rewarding way of life full of meaning. The deepest nature of humans is meaning so REAL Green it.

    Well, your not dutch kloggkike, and you are not in, or from the Netherlands either. But, since you are literally wetting your Depends(tm) at the prospect of a country you are not even from, doing….something with a unproven worthless tech that no one needs or even asked for, got to ask.

    Why does any of this robo-car stupidity matter so much to jew, I mean you anyhow? I guess to a home-bound shut-in like you, the prospect of having some lines of code delivering you to the hospice, or temple, or where ever it is you are so desperate to get to, must be thrilling to you. Normal people, would just ask someone they know for a ride, take a taxi, or the bus. But, you seem to think robo-cars will are the answer to every problem. Just like you seemed to think someone called ‘President trump’ was the answer to all them nastly globalists lol, sure he was. At least until that became so untenable, and embarrassing an idea even you had to finally shut your useless pie-hole about it. No idea what it will take to get you to finally shut up about flying hydrogen powered robo-cars either, short of you choking on a motza ball. Probably nothing since you no have no money, no job, and nothing to invested in them anyhow. You probably figure its as safe topic as any for you to yammer on about. Safer than DJT the globalist-buster(not) at any rate.

    “2019: The Year China Went to War on Garbage”
    https://tinyurl.com/ttoctul sixth tone

    “In China’s major cities, people started talking trash with the introduction of strict — at times baffling — new waste-sorting schemes…The strict new trash regime is part of a massive campaign by the Chinese government to tackle a growing garbage problem. The country generates around 600,000 tons of urban household waste daily, and the figure continues to rise. Local infrastructure is groaning under the pressure: In some cities, landfills are filling up years earlier than expected, and space for new sites is running out. Plans for new incinerators, meanwhile, face strong public opposition. Compulsory trash sorting is designed to mitigate these issues by raising the recycling rate — thus reducing the burden on landfills — and removing kitchen and hazardous waste that can cause severe pollution if not treated properly. Forty-six cities across China are scheduled to roll out policies similar to the one in force in Shanghai by the end of 2020. China has tried and failed to persuade urban residents to sort their trash several times over the years. Shanghai piloted waste sorting in 600 residential communities as early as 2000, but the scheme failed due to a lack of supervision. In the past, even state media hinted that the city’s 400 million yuan annual investment in separating trash was itself wasteful…This time, however, local officials in Shanghai made a point of showing residents they meant business. In Mao’s compound, the garbage disposal area underwent a total overhaul in early 2019, with new lights, wash basins, and surveillance cameras installed. The communal trash cans are now kept locked away except for a few hours each morning, afternoon, and evening, when trash-sorting volunteers are often on hand to help residents dispose of their waste correctly.”

    We ‘only’ have about 6000 troops in Iraq and Saudi Arabia. If we bomb Iran these troops are in terrible danger.

    Will Israel take advantage of chaos nd join the fray?

    Just one attack on Iran similar to this week’s bombing of several Hezbollah bases in Iraq will bring down the entire shooting match. If the Pentagon goes along, Trump will do anything to avoid ‘removal from office’ including nuclear weapon use.

I basically don’t interact with normal people anymore. They have nothing to offer me and I don’t want to give them anything.

    I have suffered from cronic and acute clinical depression for most of my life, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
