OIL PRICE 2018: $55

OIL PRICE 2018: $55

OGJLight, sweet crude oil prices gained more than $1 to close above $55/bbl on the New York market Nov. 3—the second consecutive day the US benchmark reached a settlement high since July 2015.

Barclays analysts credited recent oil-price support to reports of global economic growth and new supply disruptions. Overall, ample world oil supplies are falling.

"Owing to the improvement in the inventory situation, which has accelerated due to unforeseen disruptions, prices have broken above resistance levels established earlier this year," Barclays said. "Brent appears to be consolidating around $60/bbl and could make another move higher, targeting $70/bbl."

But Barclays analysts said $70/bbl "would be unsustainable both fundamentally and from a positioning perspective and would thus be short lived."

Barclays raised its Brent oil price forecast, saying Brent will average $60/bbl during the fourth quarter and will average $55/bbl in 2018. The average 2018 forecast was up $3 compared with Barclays earlier forecast.

"We have long forecasted a tightening fundamental backdrop in the second half of this year," Barclays analysts said. "We think this strength will be sustained through first quarter next year."

They cited tightening world oil supplies stemming from a variety of reasons, including a 300,000 b/d drop in northern Iraq crude exports and production during October due to unrest and technical issues.

"Hurricane-related production shut ins in the Gulf of Mexico reduced US and Mexican supply by more than 500,000 b/d in September," Barclays said. "Finally, a synchronized and robust global economic recovery has emerged."

In addition, Chinese oil demand growth is expected "to remain robust in 2018," Barclays said.

OIL PRICES NO OPPORTUNITIES

"They [big OPEC and Middle Eastern producers] cannot be too ambitious [on their oil price targets]...there's not much [upside] room for them to hope for," Sadamori said. "Once the oil price goes to certain levels, this will stimulate new drilling and investments in North America," he added.

WORLD OIL DEMAND UP BY 1.5 MBD

World oil demand growth in 2017 is now expected to increase by 1.5 mb/d, representing an upward revision of around 30 tb/d from last previous report, mainly reflecting recent data showing an improvement in economic activities. Positive revisions were primarily a result of higher-than-expected oil demand from the OECD region and China. In 2018, world oil demand is anticipated to grow by 1.4 mb/d, following an upward adjustment of 30 tb/d over the previous report, due to the improving economic outlook in the world economy, particularly China and Russia.

2018 OIL MARKET FORECAST

Falling global crude oil stockpiles in 2017 will help put the market “roughly” into balance in 2018, but an increase in prices could be limited, especially if the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries doesn’t stick to its agreement to curb output, the International Energy Agency said.
