When Jeff Currie says that $4 or $5 gasoline is not a problem because the economy is strong, I’m sure he’s right for Goldman Sachs’ clients. I doubt he talks to the second economy in the UK where he works. I wonder if his company isn’t already shorting oil.
Read MoreInvestors demanded fiscal & growth discipline from tight oil. Tight oil delivered but investors are uninterested because there’s no growth story. Bait-and-switch.
Read MoreI don’t know if our leaders are incapable of understanding or simply unwilling to publicly state the obvious: significant decarbonization without radical changes in global living standards and population is delusional.

Read MoreMissing barrels are inherent in the supply-demand accounting method that ignores inventory and only considers present period transactions.
Read MoreWhat concerns me most is what will happen when markets realize that U.S. oil production will fall to levels not seen since the early 2000s.
Read MoreOil prices are stalled in the low $40s for WTi and mid-$40s for Brent. Producer behavior indicates that prices need to be lower.
