LONDON, April 21 (Reuters) - The oil price will stay low for
some time as supply exceeds demand and the current situation on
global oil markets is reminiscent of the 1980s oil glut, former
BP boss John Browne said on Tuesday.

NEW YORK/HOUSTON (Reuters) - The telephone lines have been ringing at Adler Tank Rentals in Texas as oil companies found a new use for steel tanks that had been left idle when shale producers stopped drilling - they want to use the tanks to store some of an oil glut that has overwhelmed the market and flipped U.S. crude prices negative for the first time.

Hundreds of millions of barrels of crude have gushed into storage worldwide in the past two months as the coronavirus-related lockdowns wiped out around a third of global oil demand.

With oil depots that normally store crude oil onshore filling to the brim and supertankers mostly taken, energy companies are desperate for more space. The alternative is to pay buyers to take their U.S. crude after futures plummeted to a negative $37 a barrel on Monday.

A topsy-turvy market that has oil prices for October delivery at $31 a barrel has oil firms anxious to stock away millions of barrels now to sell at a profit later.

The rout in the oil market can be attributed to both demand and supply woes. Demand for oil is tipped to fall considerably on account of the coronavirus crisis. Last week OPEC predicted that demand for its oil in the second quarter will tumble to a 30-year low. Not too long ago, OPEC+ announced a historic output cut, but already there is a view in the market that it won't be enough to offset the slump in demand.

In corporate news, London Stock Exchange Group said it would pay its final dividend for 2019 as the company reported higher first-quarter profit boosted by increased equity trading and clearing activity.

Gross profit for the three months to the end of March rose 13% to ?555m as total income increased 13% to ?615m.

LSE said based on its strong 2019 results and financial position it intended to pay its final dividend subject to approval at Tuesday's annual general meeting.

LONDON BRIEFING: Crude Prices Slump As Market Called "Awash In Oil"
Mon, 20th Apr 2020 08:11Alliance News
(Alliance News) - Oil prices collapsed to more than two-decade lows on Monday as traders grow concerned that storage facilities are reaching their limits, AFP reported.

US crude benchmark West Texas Intermediate briefly plunged almost 20% to below USD15 – its lowest since 1999 – as stockpiles continue to build owing to a crash in demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Analysts said this month's agreement between top producers to slash output by 10 million barrels a day was having little impact on the oil crisis because of lockdowns and travel restrictions that are keeping billions of people at home.

They said the physical crude market is "awash with oil". WTI was hit particularly hard as its main US storage facilities in Cushing, Oklahoma, were filling up.

AxiCorp's Stephen Innes said: "It hasn't taken long for the market to recognise that the OPEC+ deal will not, in its present form, be enough to balance oil markets."

Brent oil was down by a dollar from late Friday's quote, sitting just above USD27.

However, both Royal Dutch Shell and BP shares started Monday slightly higher, as equities markets were lifted by countries in Europe begining to ease their lockdown restrictions.

UK scientists to make a million potential COVID-19 vaccines before proof

LONDON, April 17 (Reuters) - A million doses of a potential
COVID-19 vaccine being developed by British scientists are
already being manufactured and will be available by September,
even before trials prove whether the shot is effective, the team
said on Friday.

The Oxford University team's experimental product, called
"ChAdOx1 nCoV-19", is a type known as a recombinant viral vector
vaccine and is one of at least 70 potential COVID-19 candidate
shots under development by biotech and research teams around the
world.

At least five of those are in preliminary testing in people.
