Demand more important than price right now, if the FT article below is correct, then demand will keep prices north of $80 a barrel for years to come imo. And at an average of $80 a barrel HUR is a cash cow but at $100 a barrel it is a gold mine.
Global oil demand is set to rise to an all-time high in 2023 as China relaxes its Covid-19 restrictions in a move that may push crude prices higher in the second half of the year, according to the International Energy Agency.
Demand for crude oil could rise 1.9mn barrels a day to reach a record 101.7mn b/d, while the evolving impact of western sanctions on Russia threatens to constrain supply, the IEA said in its first monthly oil report of 2023.
