Calgary, Alberta (November 9, 2021) — Enverus Intelligence Research, a subsidiary of Enverus, the leading global energy data analytics and SaaS technology company, has released its latest PetroLogic report covering price expectations for the near-to medium term.
“We are upgrading our 2021 Y/Y U.S. oil supply growth forecast to 600 Mbbl/d on the back of an earlier-than-expected recovery in oil production affected by Hurricane Ida. As a result, our 2022 projection for the country’s increased dropped to 890 Mbbl/d, a somewhat conservative view that could be upgraded by year-end to guidance by public U.S. operators,” said Farzin Mou, vice president of Enverus Intelligence Research.
Bill Farren-Price, director at Enverus Intelligence Research and co-author of the report, added, “Despite the stronger 4Q21 U.S. supply forecast, we lifted our price view for the quarter by $6/bbl. The higher outlook acknowledges OPEC shows few signs of wanting to cap the price rally. Nigeria and Angola remain well below production targets with other producers hardly making up the shortfall. We believe OPEC may be prepared to defend Brent in the $70s rather than $60s, a tacit inflation of the base for its preferred Goldilocks price range.”
Key takeaways from the report:
- U.S. operators affected by Hurricane Ida shut-ins are bringing back oil output faster than we expected last month and we now expect significant volumes to recover by year-end.
- Despite our expectations for strong 4Q21 U.S. supply growth, we revised our price view for the quarter by $6/bbl to reflect OPEC’s lack of willingness to cap the price rally.
