RE:Is it time for the industry to stop investments?Not many are bringing on new production wokelemming.
Oil companies have mostly been paying off debt during this cycle just like ATH.
Others have also been returning money to shareholders (dividends/buybacks), rather than sanction new investment. Ath started doing this now as well.
Oil price has been kept down through massive releases of SPR.
The reserve was at 640M bbls when Biden took over. Whats it at now, half of that?
The releases will stop end of June. By then OPEC could cut again.
If Russia keeps producing full throttle to take money out (war effort) without reinvesting back in, what do you think happens with that production.
Could be a self induced cut.
This thing is a long way from playing out.
