UK E&P - Increasing oil prices

In this short note we update our oil price deck, to bring it more inline with consensus. Although we still believe there may be the “shale ceiling”, we believe the risk that Brent crude falls below $50/bbl again has diminished substantially. Whilst there has been a lot of recent speculation around EVs and peak demand, we see upside risk to the oil price in the short to medium term, and as such we believe many of the E&P names, which have production profiles peaking in that time frame, are well placed to exploit this timing, without suffering the longer term strategic issues Big Oil may face.
