As oversupply returns in the oil market as shale production keeps exploding WTI has dropped below $45/barrel once again while Brent is down to $56/barrel

 

Shale could take US production to as high as 14 Million barrels a day by 2020 and the fear is that OPEC cannot control supply enough to keep market balanced

 

OPEC has agreed to cut production by 1.2 Million barrels a day and Canada enforced a 375,000 barrel a day cut as well due to pipeline constraints but the combined cuts from the market may be insufficient

There is more to this than meets the eye. I think the US is trying to hurt Saudi Arabia. Especially after the assassination of journalist Khashoggi. It can’t do it “officially” because they are allies so they can only do it economically.

But the US industry is privatized with dozens of energy companies who are concerned with their bottom line

 

The US Government can't just control production for political reasons unlike OPEC which has most production controlled by State Owned companies

Well I tried

 

Environmentalists blocking every pipeline in Canada + US Shale always overwhelming the Oil Market with supply = my energy stocks never recovering and me not buying my house anytime soon

 

I need US Shale to stop and environmentalist extremists to stop so I can get my white picket fence 8-)
