Conclusions from 2016• Energy companies face sustained pain – “The next few
months may be as bad as they were in the 1980’s.” –Tom Petrie
• World oil prices (Brent) will be range-bound for at least 2 more years in the $35-$45 per barrel.
• China (Asian) demand will not rebound – expect slow GDP growth in Asia
• Watch for dry natural gas production in the U.S. to decline more significantly in the 4th quarter 2016.
• We need a strong winter of demand in 2016-2017• If next winter “shows up” and production falls off, we
could see $3.00 gas by early spring 2017• A new ceiling target of $3.50 per MMBtu could become
the new “norm” for the next 3 years.

OPEC’s Strategy?“In 2016, when OPEC completes this objective of cleaning up the American marginal market, the oil price will start growing again,” said Fedun, who’s made a fortune of more than $4 billion in the oil business, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. “The shale boom is on a par with the dot-com boom. The strong players will remain, the weak ones will vanish.”
- Leonid Fedun, VP and Board Member at OAO Lukoil (LKOD)

Oil at $65 Until Mid-2015: Kuwait Official
“The reason, according to Iranian Oil Minister, Bijan Namdar Zanganeh, was to keep prices low enough and long enough to threaten the U.S. shale oil industry and restore OPEC’s market share in America.Shale extraction requires expensive methods such as fracking and horizontal drilling, and many observers say it isn’t profitable if the price of oil drops below $65 per barrel.”
