Fresh off the signing of an
important letter of intent to explore business opportunities in the
oilfield service market, First Titan Corp. (OTCQB: FTTN) is noting one
bold prediction that the industry could soon enjoy a welcome rebound.
According to one noted industry analyst, the oil market is showing the first
signs of tightening, meaning demand is starting to outpace supply.
If this trend holds, the price of crude could rise, leading to expanded
budgets for exploration, production and service – a market FTTN wants to
enter.
Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Company Managing Director and Head of Macro
Research David Pursell said in a video presentation that global crude
oil markets are nearly “balanced” after a long period of supply swamping
demand. Pursell contends inventory data indicates the market is tighter
than the current conventional consensus. As a result, it’s possible the
price of oil could rise to as much as $80 a barrel in 2016.
“If this analysis holds, it’s great news for the entire industry,” said
FTTN CEO Sydney Jim. “In particular, it’s wonderful news for us as we
would be entering the market right as it recovers and is ready to open
the spending taps. Purcell’s research warrants additional study and we
intend to take it into account as we move forward pursuing opportunities
in the midstream services sector.”
Recent forecasts have predicted the oilfield equipment market will top
$127 billion by 2020. However, that figure could rise substantially
should the oil and gas industry shake its current price slump.
