RE:OPEC + opec knows they finally got back control on the world oil price. With russian oil being limited to black market, US shale oil is petering out, canadian oilsand still land locked, fear of new investment around the world due to ESG and anti oil sentiment, nuclear will takes many years to bring on, why give away their precious non-renewable oil for cheap? Prior to covid, $70-75 brent was opec target price range but i believe opec now want a $90 floor for brent. Saudia is now aligning support toward the BRICS nations there is no desire to max out production to bring down oil price just to please US administration
Transition to EVs will take longer than expected due to rising NG/electricity and lithium/nickel prices. The demise of oil and gas was greatly exaggerated.
