Natixis Oil Outlook 2019-20 – Market Summary
We conclude: -Calls for $100/ bbl are premature – we expect OPEC + , led by Saudi Arabia and Russia to moderate the worst of the export loss from Iran . -Consumption growth will weaken substantially, with OECD consumption turning negative next year. -Non-OPEC production growth will also come in lower however, with Permian capacity constraints limiting US output growth and producers globally seeing elevated decline rates at mature conventional fields . -Meanwhile OPEC production will largely remain flat as higher output is offset by supply losses elsewhere in the group. -This allows a constructive view on pricing next year, despite the weakening demand outlook. We will be releasing the 2019-20 Natixis Oil Review next week.
