There’s been a blizzard of speculation re US/Iran diplomacy – but little analysis on what the US seeks to accomplish & what will happen to Iran if it actually succeeds.

That’s where @BrewerEricM & my piece in @ForeignAffairs comes in:

US strategy can be summed up as “Plan C.”

“Plan A” was revive JCPOA. It failed. Replacement agreement is a mirage for foreseeable future.

“Plan B” was proposed by many observers & Israeli officials to significantly ratchet up pressure. US opposed this.

Enter "Plan C."

2/15
“Plan C” aims to prevent an Iranian bomb, avoid escalation, & kick the can on a diplomatic solution–with the hope that deterrence can be maintained and diplomacy could ripen over time.

1/n This #thread will argue that a unique set of historical contingencies has obscured a looming problem for the #oil mkt, one which has been *delayed* by unprecedented events & interventions but not negated. We believe that in 6-8 wks the mkt will be subject to extreme turmoil
/2 RECENCY BIAS: one can hardly read an article on oil w/out being told of crude’s supposed ‘weakness’ since last June’s highs, often accompanied by de rigueur chart crimes showing month-after-month of lower prices. These charts, of course, cherry-pick a ST price spike to make
/3 the case that Demand has somehow collapsed. This is nonsense & ignores the extraordinary SPR maneuvers that were employed in the wake of Russia’s invasion. Simply put, if ~600k b/d are dumped from the SPR, oil prices should drop, & they did. Extra SUPPLY. 222mm bbbls. Historic

US renewable diesel is approaching a breaking point. Things aren’t adding up. Let’s dive in with some highlights from my renewable diesel primer, now live on the @TheTerminal.

#OOTT, #RenewableDiesel, #RINs, #LCFS

🧵 (1/15)
Domestic production has tripled since 2019, reaching 95 kbd in 2022. My analysis of project timelines indicate supply could double this year and reach 320 kbd in 2025. (2/15) Image
US demand won’t keep up. Proposed volume mandates under the RFS only support about 143 kbd in 2023 and 167 kbd in 2025. I view this as the cap on domestic demand due to the role of RINs on producer margins. (3/15) Image

The “inevitable” underinvestment bull thesis for oil hinges on the lack of investment in new production and assumes the path of mature/existing production as mostly set in stone. It’s not.

A long🧵about the (in)famous “base decline” and why it matters #OOTT
Short version: The price reflation (if sustained) can and likely will lift medium-term oil supply by shoring up spending on existing production. Over a 5-yr horizon, shallower base declines could “add” 1-2 mb/d of supply without a single additional project.
Quick note first: this thread focuses primarily on conventional production, the majority of global crude production.

Shale has its own unique wedge and decline characteristics that warrant separate discussion.

Let's jump in.

🧵 Gulf Marine Services #GMS.L - A deleverage story in a rapidly improving offshore market

Below a short analysis made with @Magnus12316

#rigs #shiptwit #oil #oott #offshore

1/n
THE FLEET

#GMS.L has a fleet of 13 advanced self-propelled, self-elevating support vessels, mainly in the AG (and one vessel in the North Sea).

These are accommodation units for workers servicing offshore oil fields.

2/n
Unless fields are "closed" permanently, they need to be serviced.

The dayrate is the basic income of the vessels, then there are add-ons (VSAT, catering, etc)

GMS has 6x K-Class (Small), 3x S-CLass (medium) and 4x E-CLass (large).

The EIA released its Annual Energy Outlook
Here's 15 forecasts that went right and wrong over the past decade - a thread #oott #oil #natgas #renewables
Oil Demand: In 2011, oil demand was forecast to be 19.1 Mbbls/d by 2022 (actual: 17.7 Mbbls/d) Image
Part of the energy revisions reflect changes to U.S. population growth (which has been revised down 6% since the 2018 - the first year with forecasts out to 2050). By 2050, U.S. population is expected now at 370 mln vs. 395 mln people previously. Image
U.S. Crude Supply: In 2011, oil production was forecast to be 3.8 Mbbls/d by 2022 (actual: 9.6 Mbbls/d).
2050 production forecast has been revised 5% higher y/y to 11.2 Mbbls/d. But overall, for the next ~30 years, the EIA expects production to remain mostly flat #permian #bakken Image

Wood’s work will focus on the main transportation line linking 14 oil sands facilities to the storage hub (think pipe size, materials, monitoring station design, route). It’ll also help inform overall capital and operations cost estimates #cdnecon #oott #ableg

If the fracturing of the oil market in 2022 played out in Moscow, Brussels, Washington, and Riyadh, all roads for oil markets in 2023 and beyond lead to Beijing.

How did China stumble into becoming the regulator of global oil markets? A thread 🧵

#OOTT
China has never fashioned itself, at least publicly, as a particularly willing regulator of global oil markets.

It has never had grandiose strategic aspirations of managing oil markets beyond its own energy security and diversification priorities
By circumstance more than by design, it has found itself in the driver seat.
It was the perfect alignment of the maturation and scale of China’s oil industry (long in the making) and the fracturing of the oil system in 22-23 (sudden). Right place, right time.

The risk factor with energy investments continues to drop. The combined loan book by Canada's 6 big banks shows a 92% decrease in impaired loans to Oil & Gas (to $230 mln). What are the additional implications? -a thread #oott #energy #oilandgas
The banks comfort in the Oil & Gas sector plays a major role in capital spending plans (and ability for M&A). Despite loan impairments down, the banks have still reduced their overall lending to Oil & Gas by 54% since 1Q20 to $27 bln.
On a relative basis, Oil & Gas is now only 1.8% of the CDN bank wholesale loan business. As ancillary fees decline, so to has desire to lend, especially to smaller-cap E&Ps. The result is less sector growth, less 'farm-teams' for the majors, less exploration, etc

EIA came out with their Short Term Energy Outlook
- These are the largest revisions in key data points impacting oil markets today. Although many of the adjustments are small, it shows the directional bias the EIA sees with its forecast models - a thread
#oott #oilandgas #WTI Image
With China showing more signs of opening, oil demand was revised up 1% (160 mb/d). Is there more oil demand revisions to come? Possibly. Expected crude demand in 2023 is still only up 5% to 15.8 mln b/d (from 14.4 mln b/d in 2020) #oott Image
U.S. oil production in 2024 was lowered 1.4% (150 mb/d) - with much of this oil supply decline near the back-end of the year. As earning season progresses (and capex budgets are revised), we may see more estimate revisions to come #crude #permian #eagleford #midland #bakken Image

Okay, so WTF happened with $CL today?

@Josh_Young_1
@Josh_Young_1 There was a lot of news coming out today, first with inventories reported by the EIA at 10:30 ET.

Oil showed a build in key inventories like raw crude, diesel, and gasoline at 10:30. The market handled that well-- it was roughly inline with other numbers last night (API).

2/x
@Josh_Young_1 Bulls have been focused on oil unloadings in China and global inventories, while bears have been focused on OECD demand and US balances.

However, it's shoulder season, and there were no terrible surprises and the oil market handled things well for an hour.
