The document provides an outlook on the global oil and gas markets for Q2 2018. Some key points:
1) In Q1 2018, oil markets reached a sustainable equilibrium as demand grew steadily while production was predictable and pricing was in producers' control. Geopolitical risks could impact prices but no foreseeable developments were significant enough to move markets substantially.
2) The theme for Q2 is sustainability - whether geopolitical risks will drive higher prices or markets will remain stable. OPEC production cuts, shale growth, and trade wars could impact demand.
3) Most forecasts predict continued growth of 1 million barrels per day from North American shale as producers face pressure to return capital to investors, constraining
EY Price Point: global oil and gas market outlook, Q319EY
The theme for this quarter is consistency: in the significant trends impacting prices, at least. The forces that impacted oil prices in the second quarter were the same as those that have impacted prices quarter after quarter for the past several years. Surging North American production counterbalanced by OPEC+ production cuts has kept prices in a fairly narrow range. The market has become remarkably resilient. For some time now, long-dated oil futures have traded at a price very close to the market’s view of the break-even price of unconventional oil in North America.
EY Price Point: Global Oil and Gas Market Outlook - Q3EY
The oil and gas sector is constantly changing. Increasingly uncertain energy policies, geopolitical complexities, cost management and climate change all present significant challenges. EY’s Global Oil & Gas Sector supports a global network of more than 10,000 oil and gas professionals with extensive experience in providing assurance, tax, transaction and advisory services across the upstream, midstream, downstream and oil field sub-sectors.

We enter 2021 on a note of cautious optimism for global health, the world economy, and the oil and gas markets. The first weeks of December brought approval in the US and the UK of the first of several COVID-19 vaccines. The speed with which vaccine development occurred is unprecedented, but certainly welcome. In the weeks following the early November announcement of 90+% effectiveness by the manufacturer of the first approved vaccine, the price of WTI crude oil increased by US$10/bbl to US$48/bbl, the highest level since early March. Sustainability hasn’t returned yet, and whatever time it takes to get the world to normal, it will take even longer for normalization within the oil and gas markets. Inventories remain at historically high levels and, optimistically, it will take until April before inventory returns to levels observed in the preceding five years. That’s an estimate, and there has obviously been some difficulty properly calibrating the expectations of how balance will return and how long it will take. In late November, OPEC met to adjust its output plans because of the anemic rebound in demand. In mid-December, the IEA lowered its demand forecast for 2021 due mostly to continued sluggishness in aviation fuel demand.
A mild winter has interrupted a recovery in North American natural gas prices after a run-up motivated by curtailed capital expenditures, upstream activity and production. After an initial meltdown, with cargo cancellations and dramatic price reversal, LNG markets have made a remarkable comeback, and the spread between Asia and Henry Hub has reached a level we haven’t seen in almost three years. It may be the case that interruption in FIDs has brought us to the cusp of a balance that can support reliable returns.
EY Price Point: global oil and gas market outlook, Q2 April 2021EY
The theme for this quarter is governed. Apparent market balance at prices that could be sustainable is the product of calculated choices by market leaders and the cooperation of those who follow them. Economics played their customary role as well, with capital scarcity in North America taking about 2 million barrels per day out of the market, about half of the remaining gap in demand. While inventories are close to their pre-COVID-19 levels, there is still uncertainty. The resolution of the pandemic is in sight, but timing is unclear. Vaccine distribution in the US is having an impact but Europe is struggling to contain a third wave of infections. The taps have opened on economic stimulus, but it remains to be seen if policymakers have done enough or if they have overshot the mark.
The shape of the crude oil forward curve has fundamentally changed since the end of the last quarter. In late December of last year, the Brent forward curve was gradually increasing while today, the curve is backwardated. This is a clear sign that the market sees a short-term dynamic that is disconnected from the medium-to-long-term fundamentals. The lasting impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains to be seen. While many have opined that COVID-19 marks a turning point in energy transition, the IEA recently released a five-year forecast of oil demand that shows steady growth, albeit at rates that are below historical expectations.
Gas markets are a paradox. At the Henry Hub and at LNG destinations, demand grows, investment lags and prices will occasionally attract attention. Traders, so far though, are unconvinced and futures prices don’t indicate imminent scarcity at any link in the value chain.
EY Price Point: global oil and gas market outlook (Q4, October 2020)EY
Oil and gas prices have recovered steadily from their lows and are relatively stable, but that stability is supported by the combination of purposeful withholding of production by oil-producing countries and economic stress on upstream independents. Oil prices closed the quarter roughly where they started it, while refining spreads were down slightly. LNG spreads were substantially higher at the end of Q3 than they were at the beginning of the quarter but are still roughly half of what is generally thought of as sustainable.
Going forward, the market will be looking closely at how the economy and demand respond to new developments with respect to a potential COVID-19 vaccine and the US election.
EY Price Point: global oil and gas market outlookEY
The theme for this quarter is resilience. A 6% supply outage in September was unable to push Brent prices above US$70/bbl. Demand concerns, driven by slowing world economic growth and the need to decarbonize, quickly retook the stage despite output from Venezuela and Iran being hindered by political turmoil and international sanctions.
Technology enhancements are a significant contributor to the market’s sanguine attitude towards supply disruption. Operators are able to produce greater volumes, quicker, and at a lower cost. That trend can only continue.
LNG markets continue to mature as traders play an increasing role in directing cargoes and setting prices. The pipeline for LNG projects remains healthy as market participants aim to establish a position in a market that is seen as the best opportunity for growth in oil and gas.
EY Price Point: global oil and gas market outlookEY
As we close the second quarter of 2020, in most of Europe and Asia, the first (and hopefully last) wave of the COVID-19 crisis appears to be abating. In the parts of the US where the virus hit early, the profile has largely matched Europe’s, while in other parts, the urge to reopen businesses has trumped the desire to contain the virus and uncertainty looms. In the developing world, the crisis has just begun, but without the economic headroom and resources necessary to contain it. As the crisis unfolded, the effect on oil and gas demand has been predictable but difficult to gauge precisely and therefore difficult to manage.
Oil prices have crept up steadily as production has been curtailed through coordinated action (OPEC+) and because of economic reality (unconventional oil in North America). That trend has been subject to momentary spasms when bad news hit the market. It would be understandable if traders were nervous, and it seems that they are. Although nowhere near where it was at the peak of the crisis, option implied volatility is still at historically high levels. Gas markets, without the benefit of coordination on the supply side, continue to deal with the market implications of storage at or near capacity. Interfuel competition in power generation has always provided something of a floor, but those lows have been, and will continue to be, tested.

The first quarter of this year has seen some extraordinary events. As if chronic oversupply, prices stuck below sustainable levels, the looming energy transition, and investor pressure to decarbonize weren’t enough, our industry now faces a dramatic, but hopefully temporary, downturn in demand as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.
The theme for this quarter is inorganic. Although prices climbed in the fourth quarter as the balance of supply and demand tilted in favour of demand, OPEC + restraint was fundamental.
The market is conscious of downside pressures that loom. OPEC + has announced production cuts through to the end of the first quarter. Beyond the first quarter, there is a risk that OPEC + grows weary of supporting the market and reverts to a strategy of growing production, protecting market share and placing pressure on the economics of unconventional producers. Production growth in Brazil and Norway has the potential to consume a significant portion of demand growth expected in 2020. Whether, or the extent to which, US shale output growth continues despite escalating financial strain across the E&P sector will be key in determining whether OPEC + cuts will be sufficient to balance the market in 2020.
In the longer-term, focus remains on the energy mix of the future and its impact on the demand for petroleum products. A number of significant uncertainties remain, including electric vehicle (EV) penetration. EY’s ‘Fueling the Future’ analyzes the outlook under four distinct scenarios. The analysis shows that an inflection point in EV penetration is required by 2022 if the terms of the Paris Accord are to be met.
EY Price Point: global oil and gas market outlookEY
As the last quarter of the second pandemic year draws to a close, we continue to see heightened contrast
between the medical and economic points of view. While COVID-19 cases are close to their all-time highs, so
are equity prices, and a leading investment bank declared (on 2 December, 2021 after the Omicron outbreak in South Africa) that it was “optimistic about the possibility of a vibrant 2022.” When news of the variant hit in
late November, the markets were rocked by the prospect of yet another round of local mobility restrictions and
an interrupted return to normal international travel patterns, on top of the Biden Administration’s announced
release of 50 million barrels of crude from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve. So far though, with OPEC
standing by its planned gradual return to normal production, oil prices have stabilized, albeit below where they
were in mid-November. Henry Hub prices, always at the mercy of the weather, responded predictably to a
warmer-than-normal early winter in the US, falling from US$6.60/MMBtu in early October to below
US$4.00/MMBtu by mid-December. In Europe and Asia, following a short reprieve at the start of the quarter,
piped natural gas prices have spiked again on concerns triggered by Russian troop buildups on the Ukraine
border and uncertainties surrounding the Nordstream 2 pipeline. Looking forward, OPEC and the U.S. Energy
Information Administration (EIA) in their last forecasts of the year both projected that 2022 oil demand would
be above what we saw in 2019. Although time will tell if those forecasts are realized and other events could
intervene, the response to new virus outbreaks is well-practiced and the trade-off between public health and
economic reality has tipped toward a cautiously optimistic view.
EY Price Point: global oil and gas market outlook, Q2 | April 2022EY
The theme for this quarter is rearrangement. The loss, or potential loss, of Russian oil and gas supplies is forcing producers, refiners and traders to rethink the flow of crude oil and refined products from the wellhead to the gas pump in light of sanctions, potential sanctions and the risk of reputational damage. Countries, companies and consumers will all be searching for ways to adapt, and the outcome of the race to bring alternatives to market could alter the global energy landscape for years to come.
It is likely crude oil and LNG prices will remain elevated for some time. The process of diverting Russian oil through countries unwilling to sanction it will take time and there is little indication OPEC members are willing (or able) to increase production to make up for the loss of Russian crude. Spare capacity sat at 3.7 mbpd at the end of 2021, just above where it was in January 2020. Currently, sanctioned Venezuelan and Iranian production (about 3 mbpd below their peak) could fill the gap, but political and commercial obstacles remain. At today’s prices, US shale production is attractive, but the fastest the industry has been able to grow is between 1mbpd and 2mbpd per year. The LNG infrastructure was already stretched before the war in Ukraine and there is little prosect of finding new supplies soon.
As the largest buyer of Russian energy, Europe will be the epicenter. There is a deeply embedded bias there in favor for renewable energy, and the current crisis is certain to result in an all-out effort to accelerate the build-out of wind and solar power. The capacity to add new green energy is limited though by the project pipeline and supply chains for solar panels and wind turbines, and it is likely that much of the shortfall will be made up with the new LNG infrastructure.

The theme for this quarter is reprieve. Crude prices rose steadily throughout 1Q19 as OPEC+ reigned in production to counteract the impact of North American production growth. What lies ahead is uncertain, but downward pressures loom over the marketplace.
The document provides a weekly update on the global oil and gas markets. It discusses how the upcoming US presidential election is unlikely to significantly impact near-term energy markets. Oil, gas, and equity markets continue looking past current economic weakness as demand recovers slower than expected. US natural gas prices have risen due to declining production and increasing demand from LNG exports and industry. Jet fuel demand remains weak as air travel has not recovered, impacting oil demand forecasts through 2021.

Q2 – Analyst Themes of Quarterly Oil & Gas EarningsEY
Most companies reported strong earnings growth in the second quarter, but investors were disappointed. Expectations had risen in line with oil prices and profits, but cash flow generation of some companies fell short of consensus estimates.
The document summarizes key themes from oil and gas company earnings calls in Q1 2019. The top three themes were 1) portfolio optimization, 2) cash flow, and 3) project updates. Financial performance dominated calls, with a focus on project expansions, US shale consolidation, and the growing importance of gas. Cost control and efficiency remained priorities amid pressure on margins. North American shale consolidation and interest in alternative energy were expected to continue going forward.
This document discusses trends in global commodity and financial markets in the first half of 2015. It notes that while commodity prices continued declining in early 2015, some saw slight rebounds in the second quarter. Oil prices rose from January lows as supply increased from Iran, Russia, and the US, while demand grew in Europe and China. However, excess supply remained high globally. The document predicts that competition for market share between OPEC and shale producers could further widen excess supply in the second half of 2015, putting downward pressure on prices. It also summarizes trends in other commodity markets like agriculture and metals.
Analyst themes of quarterly oil and gas earnings Q4 2018EY
The oil and gas industry started the fourth quarter of 2018 with high hopes. Oil prices had risen in the last half of the third quarter and indicators were pointing upward. As is often the case, events took over and oil prices erased all the gains made since the beginning of 2017.
Oil Prices, the shale, the plunge and outlookErol Metin
Oil prices plunged from 2014-2016 due to a perfect storm of oversupply, a strong US dollar, and weakened demand. Conditions have balanced out, leading analysts to forecast higher prices in 2017, with estimates around $50-60 per barrel. Shale oil production growth has slowed in the US, but new technologies allow for continued expansion. Lower investments mean conventional production may not keep up with demand, which could be filled by OPEC and support higher prices.
EY Price Point: Global oil and gas market outlook - 1Q19EY
The theme for this quarter is reversal. Following a period of sustained growth throughout the first 10 months of 2018, the oil price recovery began to reverse in the fourth quarter.
Tesoro Corporation is a leading U.S. refiner and marketer of petroleum products. The analysts recommend holding Tesoro stock. Tesoro operates six refineries producing 850,000 barrels per day. Revenue increased to $40.63 billion in 2014. However, Tesoro's growth will be limited as it approaches refining capacity. The analysts expect slower growth and declining profit margins. Interest rate increases could also negatively impact Tesoro due to its debt levels.
- The Bord Gáis Energy Index fell 5% in November 2015 to its lowest ever point of 90, as the wholesale prices of Brent crude oil, UK gas, European coal, and Irish electricity all declined month-over-month.

- OPEC failed to agree on output limits at its December 2015 meeting, allowing oil production to remain high and adding to the global supply glut that is depressing prices.

The theme for this quarter is apprehension. In September, the US Federal Reserve announced a third 75 basis point increase in the federal funds rate. In the aftermath, the two-year treasury rate reached the highest level since before the 2008 financial crisis and the spread between two and ten-year rates went below negative 50basis points for the first time since the early eighties. Equity markets have begun to price in the likelihood of a recession and, if history is any indication, the impact on oil markets could be profound.
Domestic and international stock markets declined throughout the week due to concerns about declining commodity prices, global economic growth, and less dovish comments from the Federal Reserve. The minutes from the Fed's July meeting indicated that while the labor market had improved, the conditions for raising rates had not been met. Investors viewed this as mixed signals for a potential rate hike in September. Commodity prices fell sharply, with crude oil declining to six-year lows on higher than expected inventories. Global growth concerns were exacerbated by declines in Chinese markets and weak European data.

Oil Prices, the shale, the plunge and outlookErol Metin
Oil prices plunged from 2014-2016 due to a perfect storm of oversupply, a strong US dollar, and weakened demand. Conditions have balanced out, leading analysts to forecast higher prices in 2017, with estimates around $50-60 per barrel. Shale oil production growth has slowed in the US, but new technologies allow for continued expansion. Lower investments mean conventional production may not keep up with demand, which could be filled by OPEC and support higher prices.
EY Price Point: Global oil and gas market outlook - 1Q19EY
The theme for this quarter is reversal. Following a period of sustained growth throughout the first 10 months of 2018, the oil price recovery began to reverse in the fourth quarter.
Tesoro Corporation is a leading U.S. refiner and marketer of petroleum products. The analysts recommend holding Tesoro stock. Tesoro operates six refineries producing 850,000 barrels per day. Revenue increased to $40.63 billion in 2014. However, Tesoro's growth will be limited as it approaches refining capacity. The analysts expect slower growth and declining profit margins. Interest rate increases could also negatively impact Tesoro due to its debt levels.
- The Bord Gáis Energy Index fell 5% in November 2015 to its lowest ever point of 90, as the wholesale prices of Brent crude oil, UK gas, European coal, and Irish electricity all declined month-over-month.
- The document discusses how low oil prices are significantly impacting oil-exporting countries in the Gulf region, with Saudi Arabia still relying on oil for 85% of its budget despite efforts to diversify its economy.
- OPEC failed to agree on output limits at its December 2015 meeting, allowing oil production to remain high and adding to the global supply glut that is depressing prices.

EY Analyst themes of quarterly oil & gas earnings: 3Q18EY
Oil & gas companies are reporting stronger cash flows and improved bottom lines. Analysts are focused on how that cash will be put to work. Do they return cash to shareholders or do they expand portfolios, possibly taking advantage of stronger market indicators? Macro factors and timing are likely to play a greater role as markets reset.

The theme for this quarter is apprehension. In September, the US Federal Reserve announced a third 75 basis point increase in the federal funds rate. In the aftermath, the two-year treasury rate reached the highest level since before the 2008 financial crisis and the spread between two and ten-year rates went below negative 50basis points for the first time since the early eighties. Equity markets have begun to price in the likelihood of a recession and, if history is any indication, the impact on oil markets could be profound.
Domestic and international stock markets declined throughout the week due to concerns about declining commodity prices, global economic growth, and less dovish comments from the Federal Reserve. The minutes from the Fed's July meeting indicated that while the labor market had improved, the conditions for raising rates had not been met. Investors viewed this as mixed signals for a potential rate hike in September. Commodity prices fell sharply, with crude oil declining to six-year lows on higher than expected inventories. Global growth concerns were exacerbated by declines in Chinese markets and weak European data.
The theme for this quarter is momentum meets uncertainty. The upward trend in crude oil, natural gas, LNG and refined product prices that began in Q1 continued into Q2. Crude oil markets began the quarter just below $100/bbl and have closed below that level on only two days since late April. As we begin Q3, there are increasing concerns about the health of the global economy and how that might affect oil and gas demand.
The Saturday Economist Oil Market Update 2015John Ashcroft
The document analyzes factors influencing falling oil prices, including increased US shale oil production and OPEC's decision not to cut production. While lower prices benefit net oil importing countries, they hurt oil exporters. The 50% price drop is seen as disproportionate to actual supply/demand changes and may reflect speculative forces. Lower prices have mixed economic impacts, stimulating growth in importers but reducing revenues and potentially destabilizing exporters. The analysis suggests prices will rebound as speculative influences fade and fundamentals reassert themselves.

The document provides an overview and analysis of the US and global economies in 2016. It finds that the US GDP grew at a healthy 3.2% in Q3 2016, driven by increases in consumer spending, inventory investment, and exports. The service sector remained stable, while manufacturing returned to modest expansion. Housing demand continued to outweigh supply, keeping home prices rising. Emerging markets showed improved outlooks, while risks and uncertainties increased in Europe. Overall, the US economy performed relatively well compared to other developed nations, and further growth is expected in 2017, aiding equity market gains.

1) OPEC's oil production rose slightly in July from June, with Libya seeing the largest increase while production fell in Iraq and Angola. However, unrest in countries like Libya, Iraq, and Angola continues to affect supply.
2) Within OPEC, the largest increase came from Libya where supply rose by 210,000 barrels per day but stability remains uncertain. Saudi Arabia and Nigeria also saw small increases while Iraq's supply fell.
3) Looking ahead, declining oil prices could significantly impact Russia's economy and undermine Putin's power since Russia relies heavily on oil exports, which account for 40% of its revenues. A sustained price drop below $100 could force Russia to focus more on propping
The oil price rebounded 31% over the last three weeks after falling 57% between June 2014 and January 2015. The document analyzes whether further recovery is likely, concluding that technical factors in financial markets explained the recent rebound but are temporary. Fundamental supply adjustments from reduced investment and drilling will impact prices starting in 2016-2017 by gradually clearing the supply glut. The analysis forecasts oil to average $56/barrel in 2015 before rising to $64/barrel in 2016 and $69/barrel in 2017.

- Oil futures have fallen to their lowest levels in 8 months, with Brent crude dipping below $100 per barrel for the first time since 2013, as global demand growth is slowing.
- Both OPEC and the IEA have lowered their forecasts for global oil demand growth in 2014 and 2015 due to weaker economic growth.
- Many OPEC countries require higher oil prices than current levels to balance their budgets, and sustained low prices threaten needed investments in the oil sector, especially in the Middle East.
The OPEC Reference Basket averaged $42.68/b in July, representing the first decline in five months. Lower-than-expected demand, high refined product stocks, and rising crude supply were the factors behind the $3.16 drop. ICE Brent ended down $3.39 at $46.53/b, while Nymex WTI fell $4.05 to $44.80/b. Speculators cut long positions further this month in all markets. The ICE Brent-WTI spread widened to $1.75/b in Brent’s favour during July.
The Guinness Global Energy Report for March 2017 provides the following highlights:
1) Oil prices were flat in February as signs of good OPEC compliance with production cuts were offset by rising US inventories due to high imports.
2) US natural gas prices fell as mild winter weather reduced heating demand, while the market remains structurally undersupplied.
3) Energy stocks underperformed the broader market in February as the MSCI World Energy Index fell 2.0% compared to a 2.8% rise in the MSCI World Index.
Enterprise Products Partners L.P. is the largest publicly traded energy partnership in the United States. They operate over 51,000 miles of pipelines transporting natural gas, NGLs, crude oil and petrochemicals. Analysts expect EPD to benefit from increased domestic energy production and have ongoing capital projects. Based on a discounted cash flow valuation, analysts value EPD at $41.43 and have placed a BUY rating due to the current price of $37.40 being undervalued.

2. Page 2 Q2 | April 2018 Global oil and gas market outlookPage 2
In the first quarter, oil markets converged to a sustainable equilibrium. Demand is
growing steadily whilst production economics are predictable and in control of pricing.
Short of the threat of political chaos in the Middle East, there aren’t foreseeable market
developments with enough weight to move the markets significantly up or down.
Profits are acceptable, if not spectacular and there’s enough capital in the system to
keep production growing in North America and enough discipline to keep it stable in
OPEC.

Q2 overview
3. Page 3 Q2 | April 2018 Global oil and gas market outlookPage 3
The theme for this quarter is sustainability. Are geopolitical risks enough to drive
prices to the next level, or will they hover indefinitely? The ongoing meltdown in
Venezuela, the escalation of conflict in the Middle East and potential sanctions
against Iran all loom.
?
► Are OPEC production cuts sustainable in the long term, given
fiscal pressures?
► How will capital discipline in North America impact production
growth?
► Is the Chinese government’s push to get factories and homes
off coal and onto natural gas sustainable, and will the LNG
infrastructure be enough to meet that demand?

Latin
America
and Asia
on the
margin?
Latin America and APAC have had the most
predictable response to falling prices and
may hold the key to the market’s future. The
price at which capital, and therefore
production, returns to those fields will provide
a critical signal.
Most market forecasts assume continued
growth in North American shale oil
production (about 1 million barrels a day).
Pressure to return capital to investors will
continue to constrain spending. Increased
operating cash from higher prices helps, but
it’s unclear if that will be enough.

Trends
In the aggregate, OPEC production
discipline continues and the market seems
to believe in that trend. Political turmoil in
Venezuela has supported OPEC production
cut compliance. Fiscal pressures will put
increasing pressure on supply in the longer
term.

Low oil prices and a thriving world economy

significant effect on economic growth and oil
demand.

Market fundamentals
► Brent and WTI see-sawed in a narrow range throughout Q1 2018.
Prices increased on reports of OPEC and Russia production cut
compliance and robust growth in demand. Prices remain constrained by
continued growth in US crude oil output.
► Average Brent and WTI prices in Q1 2018 were higher than Q4 2017 by
8.7% and 13.6%, respectively. The Brent-WTI spread fell from highs of
$8/bbl. in Q4 2017 to around $4/bbl. during the recent quarter.

Uneven supply response
► Year over year, the market shifted from being slightly oversupplied to being
slightly undersupplied.
► The market was largely subject to the same factors as last quarter. Demand
grew at a healthy rate, OPEC and Russia held production steady, North
American output soared and natural decline and capital scarcity impacted
output elsewhere.
► Total OECD stocks are being drawn at an accelerating rate. In the fourth
quarter of 2017, industry inventories of crude and products fell by 1.37 mbpd,
compared to a draw of 0.53 mbpd and 0.16 mbpd in Q3 and Q2, respectively.
6. Page 6 Q2 | April 2018 Global oil and gas market outlookPage 6
Market fundamentals
► OPEC production cut compliance varied among members. In total, OPEC
output held steady.
► More than 100% of OPEC’s output reductions are accounted for by
Venezuela. This decline has everything to do with political turmoil and
nothing to do with voluntary production restraint. The situation in
Venezuela seems to deteriorate daily and there is no indication of where
the bottom is or what the end game looks like.
► Russia, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran and Iraq held production steady while
Nigeria and Libya increased production.
► Absent of supply response outside OPEC and North America, the global
market would continue to be oversupplied by about a half million barrels per
day. In a sense, Asia and Latin America are on the margin.
► The pattern was consistent across the board. Reduction in capital
expenditure continues to take its toll on field productivity.
► The future is unclear. As prices continue to stabilize, mature field economics
will improve which could see the return of capital to fuel the next phase of
production growth in mature regions.

Market fundamentals
► The spread between Henry Hub, Asian LNG and UK NBP prices should
narrow during the second quarter. China has limited gas storage capacity
and is not able to take advantage of lower summer prices to build stocks.
Supply will be bolstered, with an additional 20mtpa of LNG capacity
scheduled to come online by mid-2018.
► The short-term outlook for US natural gas prices is consistent with history,
being stable. US gas production is forecast to reach record levels in 2018
and there is no evidence of LNG exports or domestic demand putting
upward pressure on markets.
► Growth in North American shale production has consistently required capital
spending well in excess of operating cash, even in recent years with
depressed service pricing and below-par service company return.
► North American operators have begun to feel pressure to rein in spending
and return cash to shareholders. Higher oil prices will drive operating cash
higher in 2018, but no one expects a burst of new capital spending.
► Service capacity is expected to tighten, which may put some pressure on
costs, spending, activity levels and (potentially) production.

smaller sample of consultants.
Banks/brokers range is wider due to the
presence of several outlier data points.
Consultants focus primarily on the
analysis of a long term sustainable oil
price while the banks/brokers tend to
provide their view based on the current
market and technical analysis.
Banks/brokers provide on average an
almost flat Brent and WTI oil price
forecasts at around $65/bbl. and
$60/bbl.
Consultants’ forecasts result in
averages of $75.6/bbl. and $72.1/bbl.
vs. banks’/brokers’ averages of
$62.9/bbl. and $60.1/bbl. in 2022 for
Brent and WTI, respectively.

Futures
Oil markets remain in backwardation
with a contrast between near-term
dynamics and long-term production
economics.
Markets appear as settled as they
have been in recent history.
Volatility ended the quarter slightly
higher than it began, at 25 percent,
but less than 2017’s average of 29
percent and well below the 2016
average of 44 percent. Speculative
opportunities are more focused on
geographic and product spreads.

Gas price outlook
Henry Hub:
Brokers’ and consultants’ price
estimates ranges and averages
UK NBP:
Brokers’ and consultants’ price
estimates ranges and averages
• For Henry Hub, the bank/broker
view is essentially flat, reflecting
general price inflation and no
increase in real prices. In contrast
consultants’ estimates reflect a
steady upward trend, reflecting a
view on demand growth and
production economics.
• Banks’/brokers’ and consultants’
estimates for UK NBP are scarce
with only 6 and 4 data points
available, respectively.
• Consultants’ and banks’/brokers’
forecasts are almost flat and
largely aligned. When we compare
the consultant view of NBP to
Henry Hub, it reflects a widening
spread between the North
American and European markets
and a bullish view on LNG capacity
tightness and profits on LNG trade.
