Putin agrees: is Russia ready to cut oil production to please the United States?

74

Apparently, the "oil war", which has been raging the last month and brought down world quotes, is nearing completion. After reaching a new agreement between the oil-producing countries, the price of a barrel will again begin to rise gradually.

Unfortunately, Russia can emerge from this trade war as the main loser. What gives reason to believe so?



Let's evaluate the situation in chronological order without unnecessary emotions. It all started with the fact that the leadership of Rosneft in early March insisted on our country's withdrawal from the OPEC + agreement. Then the stumbling block was the reluctance to reduce production by 0,5 million barrels per day. And spun.

Saudi Arabia immediately responded by increasing production from 9 million barrels per day to a record 12 million. Now, after only 1 month, it became clear why this was done. At the same time, Riyadh began violently dumping, knocking down oil quotes. The price of "black gold" fell twice below the level on the basis of which the Russian federal budget is being imposed.

Domestic media and experts were brave, indicating that Russia would be able to hold out for 6 to 10 years on the accumulated reserves of the NWF. The head of Rosneft, Igor Sechin, pointedly promised that oil prices would normalize by fall, when American shale producers would leave the market:

By the end of the year, I assume that the price may rise and return to the level of up to $ 60, if the processes continue, the output will be shale oil from the market.

To these arguments of Igor Ivanovich, President Donald Trump simply replied that the United States would "intervene" at the right time "in the dispute between Russia and Saudi Arabia. In just a month, the situation in our country has deteriorated sharply due to a combination of several factors. The coronavirus pandemic and forced quarantine virtually paralyzed Russia. Oil export prices reached negative levels, pulling gas contracts down as well.

If you call a spade a spade, it is almost a complete disaster, only slightly delayed in time by some reserves of the NWF. Completely finish the domestic the economy US sectoral sanctions against the export of Russian oil and gas are capable of being directly talked about in Washington. Too bad everyone needs to come to an agreement, but someone must be the designated loser. The fact that the parties to the conflict are seeking a compromise was very directly reported on Twitter by Donald Trump:

I just spoke with my friend Mohammed bin Salman (Crown Prince) of Saudi Arabia, who spoke with Russian President Putin, and I expect and hope that they will reduce about 10 million barrels, and maybe significantly more, if that happens will be great for the oil and gas industry. It can be up to 15 million barrels. Excellent news for all!

Yes, excellent, but not for everyone. According to President Trump, from the new agreement from 10 to 15 million barrels of oil can fly out of the market as a result of the new agreement. At the same time, the United States itself, as the American president said, does not intend to reduce its production under any circumstances. That is, the American producers of shale oil, against which Igor Sechin “rolled the barrel”, will remain outside the brackets, and they will benefit from a new increase in the cost of a barrel to a level that is comfortable for them.

Who then will be the main loser? Count yourself: as of March 6, Russia was required to reduce production by 0,5 million barrels. Now, all oil producers will need to remove from the market from 10 to 15 million barrels, which will have to be divided into all but the United States. And here we recall that Saudi Arabia increased production by almost 3 million barrels in a month. Apparently, this was done by the tacit agreement of Riyadh and Washington, and the Saudis will simply remove those surpluses that they collected last March, returning to normal volumes. So, all the remaining 7-12 million barrels will be divided into other players, primarily Russia. President Putin has already taken a step back, agreeing to reduce production by 10 million barrels per day, but asks to do so "in partnership." The question is how indulgent these very “partners” will be towards the losing side. As an argument for those who disagree, a sanctioned club against the export of hydrocarbons can be used. So, all the remaining 7-12 million barrels will be divided into other players, especially Russia. Here is such a preliminary result of one month of the "oil war".

So was it worth it to get into a showdown with the United States and its allies and bring down its own economy without holding strong cards? "Mnogokhodovochka", in all its glory.

    Yes, interesting math. Well, what Putin and Sechin know how to divide and take away, we have been observing this for 20 years. And now Putin's "fans" will tell us that someone is not friendly with mathematics? And I repeat - to manage this way, you do not need a mind, it is enough not to have CONSCIENCE!

    The Americans have tied the world with their dollar like mold. All governments, oligarchs, all have wealth in dollars. Our government is no exception. All deputies, officials, ministers, oligarchs, all accounts in foreign banks in dollars. Therefore, they will do everything so that the dollar flourishes and lives. They will do everything that the Americans will tell them, for their well-being and their families depend on it. And to us, according to all the media, they will hang noodles on our ears (as always), how they are fighting America and are about to win. laughing It seems like - be patient while in poverty, do not arise, you see - we have a war with the main hegemon, here we will defeat and heal. Therefore, I consider all these oil wars to be a spectacle, and the conductors are the richest people on the planet.

          It’s not scary if you buy American goods directly from the place of their production, China, or use cheap Chinese fakes, counterfeit goods. The second is more likely, because American goods, despite Chinese cheap labor, will cost you more than Chinese copies.

    Russia's tough position in negotiations with its partners in the OPEC + deal was the determining factor that put an end to attempts to artificially regulate the oil market. From April 1 of this year, the agreement to cut production will expire, and its participants no longer have any obligations to reduce the production of "black gold".
    Judging by the way the OPEC + Pact members negotiated, the position of Russia was not spontaneous - the step was thought out in advance, and the consequences were weighed.

    Not even a month had passed after the victorious fanfare, when suddenly the multi-walker began to cry: "We are not guilty about anything, they themselves have come to this, and in general, guys, let's live together!"

    US oilmen split over production cuts under the agreement of the three leading extractive countries of the world in order to stabilize the global oil market. This statement was made by The Wall Street Journal, citing sources.
    Some corporations, in particular Exxon Mobil Corp. and Chevron Corp., oppose participation in the agreement. Shale producers such as Pioneer Natural Resources are trying to find ways to join the Russian-Saudi plan.

    Everything is clear and logical here. Large companies came to slate. The possibilities are great, but not unlimited. The shales are blown away. Mobile and Chevron are hoping to buy them at a meager price. The possibilities of their influence on Washington are immeasurably higher. But this plan will lead to the loss of jobs and to the fact that Trump will definitely not be re-elected. And time is running out. Only six months before the election.
    Who will win? If Trump needs to sit in a chair, then the States will reduce production. Still have to do it. There is nowhere to store oil, and demand will not rise for a long time.

        About the schedules. For objectivity, I will present another picture


        In recent days, Rosneft's capitalization has been growing. But this is not interesting. All companies have a little disclaimer. What does this mean in translation from stock to human? The Internet gives this explanation

        Due to unprofitableness of shares, not only there is no income, but at par the shares are not accepted by their issuer.

        For objectivity, it was necessary to put some Russian companies nearby. Although there are probably none.

    I read the beginning ... then the game went on. No figures, no facts ... purely propaganda verbal diarrhea.
    The author of the Saudi suction, or what? )))
    Dumped. First, Trump called Putin, he has a Whiting Petroleum bankrupt! The rest of the companies are on the verge of bankruptcy, the whole industry is under threat. Then the Saudis strained.
    Russia is just the least harm, we have a sufficient pillow from the NWF and gold reserves, but the Saudis finally pitchfork. Slate will simply die, and this is 2/3 of all US oil production. The market will be cleaned of shale slag and prices will recover. American analysts themselves write about this, but then some Vasya Pupkin imagines himself an expert))))
    The Saudis have 80% of GDP one oil. To break even the budget they need oil at least $ 80.

    Well and so .. a control in the head of the author - about the fact that Russia will cut the most - is utter nonsense. The Saudis, on the contrary, were sent and prices collapsed when they started to bull. Russia, on the contrary, will now pull up all oil exporters; we don’t need to reduce it for nothing alone. We will lose even more, at least turn on the head, if there is something to include.

    Alas, Sergey, you didn’t guess again ... The Saudis are trying to dictate, Trump imagines himself an arbiter and makes another stupid thing that will be an intermediary between Russia and the Saudis - they will reduce production, and he will observe ...
    Putin said that we must return to production before the conflict !!! And he will discuss this topic only under the condition of a PARET reduction in production by ALL! Here the United States is subtly implied.
    As a result, the Saudis, for the sake of the United States, wanted to make a little room with Russia and give Trump a way.
    Novak said that he wouldn’t reduce it, only the USA would win - and what for us!
    The Saudis said: Oh, so - and threw a grenade. The grenade explosion "killed" the shale oil and ricocheted into the Saudis.
    The Saudis fell into despair and began to bluff: Yes, WE !! Yes, we will increase even more !!! At the same time, they did not say - WHERE will they upload an even bigger increase, when there is nowhere to put it!
    Then our Trampush became agitated - let's call the Saudis - negotiate with Russia, our shale patient is dying !!!
    Now Trump is looking for himself worse - like he did everything and the Saudis and Russia will surrender! This "cunning" maneuver Putin saw through at once !!!
    The next meeting will humiliate the Saudis - everything will return to the level BEFORE the scandal - the Saudis have liquidated themselves a bit ... But a FURTHER reduction is possible only in the OPEC ++ - OPEC + Russia + USA format ...
    Putin is not the boy that Trampush decided to ride on ... And Trampusha breaks off ...
    That's how it will be, and not as YOU wrote !!!

    Well, the "analyst". According to his "analysis" the Saudis and you are clever, while in Russia there are fools. But the speeches of the same Putin, we ought to listen to him more attentively. Putin clearly said that selling less than $ 42 to us is not profitable. By this he indicated the price of a barrel. Everyone will have to cut production, as demand has fallen dramatically. Moreover, to reduce by that amount, who increased it as much. Russia will not agree to anything else. So listen and look more attentively, and think with your HEAD and not elsewhere.

      Russia will not go to another

      Or maybe not. The Americans will impose an embargo on the purchase of Russian oil and put their own, no more expensive.

    The author is lying like breathing. Actually, like Trump.
    1. There were no negotiations with the Saudis that Trump spoke about.
    2. Negotiations on the reduction will only be and on what conditions is not yet known.
    3. If there is a decline, then everyone will reduce production, including the USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil. That is, with a decrease, there will be no capture of foreign markets.
    4. Even if, as a result of the reduction, the price jumps to 60 b / b, the Saudis will still not be enough, but we will be more than satisfied, and the shale is not too comfortable.
    5. Even if they agree, the price will not immediately return to their place (the storages are full), this time lag will be enough to prevent a certain number of shale workers from reaching a bright day.
    6. If they don’t agree, leaving the same shale industry (and they will leave) will reduce production by the necessary 10 million barrels. They won’t recover quickly, crisis, you know.

    Second, what does "again" mean? And when exactly did I not guess something? In my opinion, I am quite often as close to the truth as possible, unlike couch experts like you.

    In the morning I wrote:

    Trump gave a press conference 2 days ago and is not going to cut production. Under such conditions, it makes no sense to hold a meeting.

    Now the message has arrived:

    OPEC + is discussing a postponement of the oil meeting to April 9th.

    https://tass.ru/ekonomika/8161401

    And more:

    Trump allowed the introduction of duties against Riyadh and Moscow to stabilize the oil market.

    https://tass.ru/ekonomika/8160513

    This is a gesture of despair. By duties he will not achieve anything. Or you have to give up, or introduce a full package of sanctions.

    The oil crisis continues at full speed. In relation to Russia, the author clearly exaggerates by painting everything in dark colors. In the fall we will see the whole picture, but now continue to live and enjoy it.
    The Saudi started a price war, possibly in collusion with the Ami. Russia has long been under various sanctions. So, we wish our Motherland to worthily win in this local battle.

    From the article:

    The US sectoral sanctions against the export of Russian oil and gas are capable of completely completing the domestic economy ...

    For some reason, I did not find an idea on the forum that was familiar to the Amer senators - not to add Russian sanctions, but to remove sanctions from Venezuela and Iran for the sale of oil .. This will be a blow to the groin ... !!!

    Russia is ready to reduce oil production to please the United States

    Why for the sake of? The Russian Federation cannot but reduce production. There is simply nowhere to put this oil.
