Death of oil isn't on the horizon. Prepare for +$100/bbl oil in the future due to lack of capital expenditures the past few years and govt applied restrictions to production.

EIA short term energy report: LINK

quote:

EIA estimates that the world consumed 96.0 million b/d of petroleum and liquid fuels in March, an increase of 4.7 million b/d from March 2020. We forecast that global consumption of petroleum and liquid fuels will average 97.7 million b/d for all of 2021, which is up by 5.5 million b/d from 2020. We forecast that consumption will increase by 3.7 million b/d in 2022 to average 101.3 million b/d. We revised growth in global liquid fuels consumption in 2021 higher from last STEO. The higher forecast is primarily a result of higher global GDP growth forecasts from Oxford Economics, which increased 0.4 percentage points from the March STEO to 6.2% for 2021.

Of course oil isn't going to die. 99% of objects people use today and how they interact form life are from petroleum.

I hope you're right on the $100/bbl number but that article is projecting a decreased average price per barrel in 2022 down from $66 right now to an average of $60 next year.

the problem with investing in oil is that the general overall sentiment towards oil & petrochem is negative. every large cap firm tries to stay away from it due to volatility and the fact that the saudi's can flip the price on any given day not to mention the world's desire to get away from it because (fill in the blank)

They do a bad job of forecasting price. There is no way we continue to draw down supplies for 2 years without price increasing. The gap will be even larger from 2022-2025 without significant investment. Shale and Saudi can’t make up the gap enough.

Seems to me that the Government is trying to price people out of combustion engine cars/trucks.

My outlook is that OPEC can always increase production, but the demand for this summer, which is always the heaviest demand in the yearly cycle, is going to keep sending prices higher.

$60 a barrel oil is really a sweet spot. Not so high that it’s prohibitive and still high enough for oil sector. Even with EV’s they have to generate energy for charging. That is largely done by nuclear, wind, solar or oil. Wind and solar have too many issues and environmentalists hate nuclear more than oil. It’s not going anywhere in the next 20 years, if then.

$50-60/barrel is plenty of money for everyone in the chain to make good profit.

I agree but at $60 for a long enough period of time you start to fund too many projects globally. So that leads to the boom/bust sector. There just hasn’t been enough investment from 2019 onward to replace natural depletion. Unless something materially changes with how fast you can scale up an additional 6 million bbl/day, we are going to be short in 2022 and beyond. This will drive prices up which will shrink demand to find a balance. Then you’ll have another bust in 2025-28 as investment goes up....

Exactly. Runs up to $90-100/bbl lead to many poor decisions, financial stupidity and an eventual tumbling.

$65-75/bbl, let's keep that going for the next five years, nice and smooth.

Shell wants to be 100% out of oil by 2050.

No they don’t. They’re saying that to placate current sentiments, but they aren’t getting out by ‘50.

They’ll at least be NET zero emissions by 2030 which will be huge for investors wanting those good ESG ratings.

Shell appears ready to have carbon capture and sequestration as part of their portfolio.

Unless we embrace nuclear and start building right now, there is zero path out of growing oil consumption through 2050.

Unless thanos snaps half of us out of existence.

That's the practical reality, but it doesn't fit the Utopian's romantic vision. I did have some fun buying when the price of a barrel of oil was 0$.

5th generation meltdown proof reactors can provide the juice and hydrogen. Super heated water takes a lot less electric power to split into hydrogen and oxygen making electrolysis a lot more efficient.

That's what should happen, but I think we will see a few "green energy" disasters first.
