Hitman,
Great Post,
Here's One to Ponder.-
US production has fallen from 13m bpd down to 10m bpd , which is -30%. And it is going to fall further !
The US accounted for 13% of the World's Oil production.
The world was producing 100m bpd with demand around the same for 2019.
The US can't be the only producer to have production declines. Other countries must have high cost wells too, that no longer produce and are shut-In ! Indeed little old Enquest has stopped production on our costly late life wells.
Imagine if the world production followed the US production decline of 30% (although the US decline is still growing)
NO - Lets be more realistic and just use a 20% world decline, which equals a new world production of just 80m bpd.
When World Demand comes back to 100m bpd in 2022 WE HAVE A PROBLEM
Result = World Short-Fall of OIL = a massive 20m bpd - $100+ oil
It is possible in 2022
