Since 2020 the price of oil has continued to rise on a continuing supply deficit with shale production rates declining, rising exploration costs, dwindling reserves, curtailed capital expenditures in the face of increased risk and anti-fossil fuel sentiment, depleted fields, scarse new reserves being found, rising cost of secondary measures to squeeze more oil out, renewables failure to fill the gap in the face of rising demand.
