US oil producers are off to a hot start of the year while gas producers are seeing movement as well. Total US liquids production (crude, condensate, and natural gas liquids) has reached an all-time high of 18.9 mbd in March. Our basin-level production forecasts for both oil and gas are changing shape – driven by upside in the Permian and the falling rig counts in the US. Even with rigs falling, the locations are key as gas declines are expected by July.

OPEC+ alliance is scheduled to meet in Vienna this weekend amid continued weakness in crude’s price structure—both flat price and time spreads—along with increased speculative short positioning. On paper, and assuming no recession, OPEC’s April cuts should suffice to tighten oil balances in the second half of the year. Yet, so far the promise of future bullish supply tightening has not convinced the market of rising oil prices. It will take evidence in the physical markets (e.g., backwardation) to confirm what our balances imply before oil price can stabilize and begin to grind higher. For that, the alliance—or at least some members—would likely need to cut more. Communication is just as important as action in terms of market reaction to any cut. To avoid fueling the prevailing market narrative, it is important to stress that demand growth continues to be robust. Rather, there is simply too much supply.

The healthy cushion in storage created by a mild winter for the European natural gas market has now put it on a direct path for storage congestion, potentially as early as August. Strong LNG imports amid weaker-than-anticipated global LNG demand and lackluster industrial demand even at lower prices continue to contribute to these fears of storage congestion. In this episode, we discuss our view for the slide in European natural gas price – a potential soft price floor that can emerge with lower prices encouraging demand - particularly in the power sector.

We see no fundamental shift in the parameters of our forecast. Our supply-demand estimates point to a largely balanced market in January through April and a first deficit in May—a view confirmed by the latest IEA report which shows that after eleven months of builds, OECD commercial oil stocks drew 14 million barrels in February, followed by a hefty 56 mn bbls draw in March. With demand resilient and world oil supply set to fall starting from this month as wildfires shut in Canadian barrels and voluntary OPEC+ cuts take effect, we continue to project further tightening in the balances in the second half of the year. Consequently, our pricing model continues to screen $90 Brent, a target that remains our price forecast.
