Maintaining our bullish call past the deadline

EIR reaffirms Brent prices will reach $100/bbl by the end of this year

byEnverus

CALGARY, Alberta (Sept. 13, 2023) — Enverus Intelligence Research (EIR), a subsidiary of Enverus, the most trusted energy-dedicated SaaS platform, has released its latest FundamentalEdge report focused on global drivers for oil and gas prices to 2030, the five-year oil and gas supply and demand outlook, and price forecasts. For several months, EIR has maintained that Brent prices will reach $100/bbl by the end of this year.

“Fundamental data released prior to our deadline of Aug. 31 has been mixed; however, we are reaffirming our call that Brent prices will reach $100/bbl by the end of this year,” said Al Salazar, senior vice president of EIR.

“We expect U.S. gas storage to continue to align with our 10% hotter-than-normal forecast, reaching 3.7 Tcf by the end of the injection season.”

Key takeaways:

  • EIR maintains the call that Brent prices will reach $100/bbl by the end of the year despite mixed fundamental data.
  • Our price call is contingent on three conditions: 1) Improving global economic sentiment, 2) OPEC adherence to stated cuts, and 3) Consistent OECD crude and product stock draws at or above 1.0 MMbbl/d or more.
  • Gas fired generation is driving gas demand, up ~ 4 Bcf/d Y/Y, offsetting weaker coal, hydro and wind generation.
  • EIR forecasts gas prices to remain rangebound between $2.50-$3.00/MMBtu for the remainder of the summer. As for winter, we expect prices to trade between $3.00-$3.50/MMBtu.
