It’s simple, the United States’s oil industry is the global leader in technology on how to profitably extract and produce a gallon of gas! Let’s do all we can to keep it that way.
It’s only a problem for Saudi Arabia and a few other opec members who want to reduce production so prices go up so they make more money by selling less The problem FOR OPEC is that they want high prices but the US is producing record numbers for the US which is helping push prices down which opec does NOT WANT.
The US has a trick up their sleeve. The US needs to restore their strategic oil reserve. OPEC production goes up and the US buys oil back at lower costs. Maybe give some profits to local oil producers.
He is telling a very different story now on oil prices. Pity as I believed his forecasts about future oil prices. How they change the narrative so easily.

It’s not politics, it’s the oil companies decision as well. Oil is privately produced and exported in the US. We don’t have state controlled companies like authoritarian dictatorships or Arab monarchies have. The oil companies produce whatever they feel the market demands. They don’t want to produce too much and tank the price per barrel of oil. The goal of Exxon Mobil or Chevron is to make as much revenue and profit as possible. They want a good balance between oil prices and oil production capacity. Obviously producing more oil gets them more money, but if they produce too much then prices go down and they make less money despite having higher production

@@jonathantaylor6926 and it did almost nothing to stop the relatively cautious extraction growth. There are hundreds of unused licenses companies are sitting on that could break ground tomorrow.
@@brilobox2 It's less about crude oil and more about refining capacity at this point.. but nobody wants to spend billions and billions of dollar building a new refinery that could easily be in use for 50+ years but could also be banned with the stroke of a pen buy insane leftist politicians. The leftist war on oil has consequences- underinvestment being the big one. When you threaten to ban a product, you get less of it.
Spare capacity came out of nowhere! Investors had been working with the theory of tight supply. That thesis is no longer valid. It will be a difficult one for O&G equities. Those in the red may have to cut short their losses.
... this didn't come out of nowhere. EVs sold a new record this year of 1 million EVs. Let's say... that on average each EV is replacing a gas car that got 20 mpg and 12,000 miles a year. It may not sound like much but that's 600,000,000 gallons of gasoline removed from demand in a single year. That's not including all the previous EV car sales from previous years reducing gasoline demand. In this article it indicates there are about a total of 2.4 million electric cars on our roads. Again with the assumption that the average car is driver 12,000 miles a year and got 20mpg overall average efficiency that was replaced - That's 1.44 million less gallons of gas demand in the US. There are at this time (minus breakdowns and totalled vehicles) 7.4 million gas electric hybrids on the road. www.bts.gov/content/gasoline-hybrid-and-electric-vehicle-sales Which doesn't include 2022 and 2023 data. So, for the purposes of estimation let's assume losses in vehicles are equal to additional hybrids sold in 2022 and 2023. So 7.4 million hybrids and let's assume they get 50 mpg instead of 20 mp of the cars they are replacing. So, instead of 600 gallons of gas a year its 240 gallons a year. A savings of 360 gallons a year per car times 7.4 million cars. That's a removal of demand of gas consumed of another 2.6 billion gallons of gas! That's 4 billion gallons less gas consumed a year than we did say in years past! And for every EV or hybrid sold... it's only going to reduce demand more. Maybe to the point that we can survive on US gas production alone and stop the trade deficit we've had for decades because of oil.
How many drilling companies in America file for bankruptcy and leave methane omissions indefinetly. There's no more prime drilling, and all the places with oil have low pressure now.
no, definitely not. The saudis are still cutting, but they just keep losing market share. The shale growth in the US and conventional oil growth in Guyana, as well as the reversal of decline in Norway truly are stunning
because Biden had previously brought the world price of oil down by dumping national reserves onto the market. This was in response to what OPEC+ was trying to do. It seems the Biden strategy may pay off here if OPEC+ has to increase production to lower the price.
That because people are selling into the curve. Also, America is flooding the market in gasoline and diesel as well to make sure the security alliance stays strong. Countries like Britain or India need affordable oil right now.
I’ll try to make this less intelligent for you to understand. MAGA isn’t complaining about Joe raising gas prices, they’re complaining about Joe doing nothing to lower them. I know that was probably really, really hard for you to comprehend but it was worth a shot. The former President, the one you probably mocked as the Twitter-In-Chief, successfully lowered gas prices with single tweets on several documented occasions. This is something the old brainless child sniffer in office can’t do because nobody respects him, literally.
Election coming up so of course Biden will pump more oil to bring prices down. And as soon as Democrats win they will stop pumping oil and prices will go back up. Its all manipulated.
Would not like to be a saudi oil executive now or in the foreseeable future. So many electric cars joining the roads in the west every day and Africa will probably jump over the hybrid tech stage directly to electric scooters charged with solar and then small electric cars manufactured in India for the African urban areas. Same goes for South America. Chinese gov is really starting to get worried about their air quality in cities, so expect more restrictions for the gas cars. There will be very few places on Earth that want oil products in their urban cars in 5 years time.
The views of "top energy analyst Paul Sankey" are respectful, but in real life do not apply. U.S. oil production increase is not any problem for OPEC producers, they feel comfortable with restricted production levels. The real problem is hidden, and I think the problems are ahead, the demand is increasing even consumers pay higher prices everyday. This is slowing down normal economic developement on US and even more this is damaging economy on all oil importing countries. The challenge will be more severe when the US shale oil production will be more expensive for operators.
Maybe its not as simple as I'm thinking. OPEC should be crashing the price in order to make US production non viable but they are trying to maintain prices.
@@mandarinandthetenrings2201 Or, Biden has the option of flipping a switch and using only domestic oil in the country. This isolationist oil plan is there if Opec+ gets all weird.
@@mandarinandthetenrings2201Exactly right. All one has to do is study the real estate market in the Permian to see what the state of US extraction is at the moment. The last time two times I drove through Midland and Odessa was during the Trump presidency and several months into the Biden regime. The differences couldn’t have been more stark. The populations of the two directly correlate to the layoffs and hiring cycles within U.S. oil and gas industry.
This is completely backwards why would Saudi want to sell oil cheaper. They just need to wait for the markets to respond. They if anything should reduce production more to support higher prices. How would dumping more oil into the market improve profits for them.
OPEC would like to crush US oil production. The best way to do that is to make it not profitable. Funny thing though, the US really does not need their oil, it is used to make what we have in the ground here last longer. That's why both Obama and Trump were willing to have US oil producers drilling like mad for over a decade.
They can produce oil at lower costs than most of the other oil exporters, including the U.S. and Canada. If oil goes below $40 a barrel, Saudi Arabia can still make money while shale oil producers in the west start to lose money (and eventually go bankrupt). Saudi Arabia regains the plurality of production and they can influence where the market goes.
Close the fracking domestic refining gap with new regional refineries spaced around the shale belt and stop the flood call leveraging and oil war financing and consumer voters will love the industry theyve come to loath for pushing them from pillar to post.
Also, for those who want the planet to go green, let the price of oil go way up. This will incentivize going green. Everyone will be highly motivated to come up with other solutions.
Wow I' m just shock someone mentioned expert Mrs Elena I thought I'm the only one trading with herShe helped me recover what I lost trying to trade my self
If they over produce and drop the per barrel price then producers who extract gas at higher cost make no profit. So SA will hold the price low for as long as it takes to wipe out competition. Then raise it again when they have less competition and can control the market and pricing. Capitalism at work.
Not just U.S. production. EV's have replaced 2% of gasoline cars on the road resulting in 2% lower demand for gasoline. Given the lower fuel prices- people in gasoline cars *will* drive more and eat up that difference but EV's will *continue* to destroy demand for fuel at increasing rates over the next 7 years when new ice cars will be banned in many countries and states.

New record oil output! I remember environmentalists CONFIDENTLY predicting "peak oil" in year 2000. WHAT HAS HAPPENED to these environmentalists predictions!
Dear Saudi, if you don't want to sell oil, just flush your oil down the toilet! There are many other players who welcome this because it will let them sell at a higher price while producing more oil!
Oil Production has never been the problem, these guys are idiots, it's about having people to buy what we produce ! That happens because of a combination of economics and chemistry. The economics are simple: overseas oil, even after shipping costs, is often cheaper than domestically-produced crude. And, while the U.S. does produce enough oil to meet its own needs, it is often the wrong type of oil.
Oil production is a real problem for 2 reasons, first, oil demand and usage is declining, and second, oil reserves are rapidly declining and will be virtually depleted by the 2060's.
"Depleted" according to whom? Hydrocarbons are the second most abundant liquid on the planet and we don't really know where it comes from or how it's made. For all we know the planet MAKES it. Besides, there are plenty of non-oil options.
@@thedailygreatness I don't know if you know this but there has been new break through in "Green Energy".

It’s simple, the United States’s oil industry is the global leader in technology on how to profitably extract and produce a gallon of gas! Let’s do all we can to keep it that way.
We went from a month ago saying "100 a barrel" to " we have a problem" lolol
People don't understand the innovations in technology on the Shale Oil side of things.
It’s only a problem for Saudi Arabia and a few other opec members who want to reduce production so prices go up so they make more money by selling less
The problem FOR OPEC is that they want high prices but the US is producing record numbers for the US which is helping push prices down which opec does NOT WANT.
Opec wants high prices by reducing supply but the US said let’s produce all we can while prices are high and let opec members keep reducing production
@@diegoharo7943 Your forgetting America lifted the sanctions on Venezuelan oil a month ago, and is now refining a lot of it.
@@mandarinandthetenrings2201 no I’m not
The US has a trick up their sleeve. The US needs to restore their strategic oil reserve. OPEC production goes up and the US buys oil back at lower costs. Maybe give some profits to local oil producers.
That’s what they doing
USA! USA! USA!
He is telling a very different story now on oil prices. Pity as I believed his forecasts about future oil prices. How they change the narrative so easily.
Because they don't understand the geopolitical thinking. Prince Mohammad wants American base in his country protecting him from Iran. Yea, that is not going happen.
How did this Mr. Sankey ever get anywhere by mumbling through half of what he says. I don't get it.
yeah its like that stephen hawking with that stupid voice. its should never be allowed.
he said oil would be 130 to 150. how is he in a job?
Why concern about new permits and contracts when refining is tightly defined...makes no sense
Oh, i feel bad for OPEC...... NOT!!
It's not about economies of scale it's about fewer competitors.
American ingenuity & productivity set standard of excellence for the world!
This is a no win situation long term. If the price at the pump goes up you accelerate the sales of EVs and if you go cheap you drive away investors.
Wrong
If you limit the number of players in the field, you will still come out ahead as long as the world still needs oil/natural gas.
The energy source for EVs is crude oil. What does the US energy grid run on? Diesel. What in the energy source for tesla superchargers? Diesel.
@@smh6234crude oil provides 28% of our electricity
@@smh6234 Wrong, diesel is not a major player in electricity production. And the grid is rapidly transitioning to renewables. Just look at Texas. It already was the leader in wind energy, now it is also the leader in solar.
I dont think the 2014 price drop worked out as Saudi Arabia hoped. Dont think they will try that again. But one can hope.
The Institute for Energy Research has recently published a new paper showing that a barrel of oil produced in the United States has a much lower environmental impact than a barrel produced somewhere like Venezuela, Nigeria, or Russia!Feb 16, 2023
I think, in this horrible time when we need to all set aside our differences and come together, that I speak for all people in non-OPEC nations when I say HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
This guy has been so wrong wonder why they keep hosting him
Absolutely. He was saying high oil prices to come. Not going to listen to him or Amrita Sen ever again. Who pays them for their forecasts?
Exactly seems like his good days are in past. These shows are only good so you can banter at a cocktail party lol
What about the ocean of oil Exon Movil has in Guyana.
Production is easy. Politics are todays barriers to producers of real wealth.
It’s not politics, it’s the oil companies decision as well. Oil is privately produced and exported in the US. We don’t have state controlled companies like authoritarian dictatorships or Arab monarchies have.
The oil companies produce whatever they feel the market demands. They don’t want to produce too much and tank the price per barrel of oil.
The goal of Exxon Mobil or Chevron is to make as much revenue and profit as possible. They want a good balance between oil prices and oil production capacity. Obviously producing more oil gets them more money, but if they produce too much then prices go down and they make less money despite having higher production

@@brilobox2 It's less about crude oil and more about refining capacity at this point.. but nobody wants to spend billions and billions of dollar building a new refinery that could easily be in use for 50+ years but could also be banned with the stroke of a pen buy insane leftist politicians. The leftist war on oil has consequences- underinvestment being the big one. When you threaten to ban a product, you get less of it.
Spare capacity came out of nowhere! Investors had been working with the theory of tight supply. That thesis is no longer valid. It will be a difficult one for O&G equities. Those in the red may have to cut short their losses.
... this didn't come out of nowhere. EVs sold a new record this year of 1 million EVs. Let's say... that on average each EV is replacing a gas car that got 20 mpg and 12,000 miles a year.
It may not sound like much but that's 600,000,000 gallons of gasoline removed from demand in a single year.
That's not including all the previous EV car sales from previous years reducing gasoline demand.
In this article it indicates there are about a total of 2.4 million electric cars on our roads.
Again with the assumption that the average car is driver 12,000 miles a year and got 20mpg overall average efficiency that was replaced -
That's 1.44 million less gallons of gas demand in the US.
There are at this time (minus breakdowns and totalled vehicles) 7.4 million gas electric hybrids on the road.
www.bts.gov/content/gasoline-hybrid-and-electric-vehicle-sales
Which doesn't include 2022 and 2023 data. So, for the purposes of estimation let's assume losses in vehicles are equal to additional hybrids sold in 2022 and 2023.
So 7.4 million hybrids and let's assume they get 50 mpg instead of 20 mp of the cars they are replacing. So, instead of 600 gallons of gas a year its 240 gallons a year.
A savings of 360 gallons a year per car times 7.4 million cars.
That's a removal of demand of gas consumed of another 2.6 billion gallons of gas!
That's 4 billion gallons less gas consumed a year than we did say in years past!
And for every EV or hybrid sold... it's only going to reduce demand more.
Maybe to the point that we can survive on US gas production alone and stop the trade deficit we've had for decades because of oil.

Excellent commentary
It's all about the greed of these oil companies .
those grunts you do sound amazing!
Saudi don't wanna play ball with US, US now taking their market share 😂
Yes, it is. It's a shame the US doesn't have nearly enough refineries to turn all that oil into fuels. But there ya go.
Glad there's no such thing as oil production alternatives.
Oh no what will these petrostates do?
How many drilling companies in America file for bankruptcy and leave methane omissions indefinetly. There's no more prime drilling, and all the places with oil have low pressure now.
Demand is still higher than supply
no, definitely not. The saudis are still cutting, but they just keep losing market share. The shale growth in the US and conventional oil growth in Guyana, as well as the reversal of decline in Norway truly are stunning
if you can control supply, that is hardly a shock. dont believe everything you hear.
Canada is the biggest exporter of oil to the USA.
US shale is hitting a high before it rolls off a cliff. Why are inventories low if oil is so abundant?
because Biden had previously brought the world price of oil down by dumping national reserves onto the market. This was in response to what OPEC+ was trying to do. It seems the Biden strategy may pay off here if OPEC+ has to increase production to lower the price.
Don't forget we no we refining Venezuelan oil as well now.
That because people are selling into the curve. Also, America is flooding the market in gasoline and diesel as well to make sure the security alliance stays strong. Countries like Britain or India need affordable oil right now.
Inventory is not low. WTF you talking about
The us is positioned beautiful all things considered
Hope USA oil reserves get replenished at these projected prices for oil.
If OPEC tries to flush it by adding 2 million barrels all United States has to do is cut 2 million.
Yet somehow drillers in my state have not drilled and oil well in 6 years and all the wells are shut down.
You expect your claim to be accepted as an important fact when you provide no specifics? Your statement is meaningless without details.
@@TheHardcarda lot of smooth brained boomers make claims based on their mere limited observation of the world …. not based on facts
To heck with OPEC. It will only get worse for them.
But can the USA make a profit
Everybody is buying motorcycles and it’s going to be hard to keep the price of oil high.
Lots of room in the SPR and no one wants Russia's oil so a flush isn't really possible without a lot of coordination.
Make OPEC broke, we don't need those dictatorial creatures.
why is no one talking about canada? if they start exporting with the suspected conservative win things could get worse for saudi
And the MAGA crowd complains Joe is raising gas prices
I’ll try to make this less intelligent for you to understand. MAGA isn’t complaining about Joe raising gas prices, they’re complaining about Joe doing nothing to lower them. I know that was probably really, really hard for you to comprehend but it was worth a shot.
The former President, the one you probably mocked as the Twitter-In-Chief, successfully lowered gas prices with single tweets on several documented occasions. This is something the old brainless child sniffer in office can’t do because nobody respects him, literally.
Shh 🤫🤫🤫 They don't know that 😂
As someone in the trucking industry we are still taking it up the ass and have been for the last 3 years. Please Lower these prices.
@@brownjatt21 President doesn't control gas prices. What Biden has been accused of is the lack of oil production, which is complete nonsense
Election coming up so of course Biden will pump more oil to bring prices down. And as soon as Democrats win they will stop pumping oil and prices will go back up. Its all manipulated.
good..screw them....havent forgiven the 70's
Would not like to be a saudi oil executive now or in the foreseeable future. So many electric cars joining the roads in the west every day and Africa will probably jump over the hybrid tech stage directly to electric scooters charged with solar and then small electric cars manufactured in India for the African urban areas. Same goes for South America. Chinese gov is really starting to get worried about their air quality in cities, so expect more restrictions for the gas cars.
There will be very few places on Earth that want oil products in their urban cars in 5 years time.
Good
The views of "top energy analyst Paul Sankey" are respectful, but in real life do not apply. U.S. oil production increase is not any problem for OPEC producers, they feel comfortable with restricted production levels. The real problem is hidden, and I think the problems are ahead, the demand is increasing even consumers pay higher prices everyday. This is slowing down normal economic developement on US and even more this is damaging economy on all oil importing countries. The challenge will be more severe when the US shale oil production will be more expensive for operators.
Maybe its not as simple as I'm thinking. OPEC should be crashing the price in order to make US production non viable but they are trying to maintain prices.
that is what he means by "flush".
They have tried this multiple times and it did not work...as we see the US oil industry booming more than ever
They can't because once the price of oil get certain low price level the American producers will shutdown their operation instead of losing money.
@@mandarinandthetenrings2201 Or, Biden has the option of flipping a switch and using only domestic oil in the country. This isolationist oil plan is there if Opec+ gets all weird.
@@mandarinandthetenrings2201Exactly right. All one has to do is study the real estate market in the Permian to see what the state of US extraction is at the moment. The last time two times I drove through Midland and Odessa was during the Trump presidency and several months into the Biden regime. The differences couldn’t have been more stark. The populations of the two directly correlate to the layoffs and hiring cycles within U.S. oil and gas industry.
Anybody else find an interesting that we didn’t have this problem under Trump
oil is king
This is completely backwards why would Saudi want to sell oil cheaper. They just need to wait for the markets to respond. They if anything should reduce production more to support higher prices. How would dumping more oil into the market improve profits for them.
OPEC would like to crush US oil production. The best way to do that is to make it not profitable. Funny thing though, the US really does not need their oil, it is used to make what we have in the ground here last longer. That's why both Obama and Trump were willing to have US oil producers drilling like mad for over a decade.
They can produce oil at lower costs than most of the other oil exporters, including the U.S. and Canada. If oil goes below $40 a barrel, Saudi Arabia can still make money while shale oil producers in the west start to lose money (and eventually go bankrupt). Saudi Arabia regains the plurality of production and they can influence where the market goes.
Close the fracking domestic refining gap with new regional refineries spaced around the shale belt and stop the flood call leveraging and oil war financing and consumer voters will love the industry theyve come to loath for pushing them from pillar to post.
For a shareholder let the price of oil and gas go up
Also, for those who want the planet to go green, let the price of oil go way up. This will incentivize going green. Everyone will be highly motivated to come up with other solutions.

Why would Saudi Arabia do that destroying their own economy
They want to take out the competition. You really dont understand that?
You're not very intelligent are you?
If they over produce and drop the per barrel price then producers who extract gas at higher cost make no profit. So SA will hold the price low for as long as it takes to wipe out competition. Then raise it again when they have less competition and can control the market and pricing. Capitalism at work.
The USA should really use hydrogen as vehicles' main power source.
How quickly things change ,
Hard to eat that oil. Bushel of
Wheat for a barrel of oil,
How true, that could become a
Reality,
Not just U.S. production. EV's have replaced 2% of gasoline cars on the road resulting in 2% lower demand for gasoline. Given the lower fuel prices- people in gasoline cars *will* drive more and eat up that difference but EV's will *continue* to destroy demand for fuel at increasing rates over the next 7 years when new ice cars will be banned in many countries and states.
OOOOH 2%! I mean, that's *totally* just as impactful as the actual topic.

Except this top energy analyst wont tell you that anerican oil production is always dependant on high prices .

Oil Production has never been the problem, these guys are idiots, it's about having people to buy what we produce !
That happens because of a combination of economics and chemistry. The economics are simple: overseas oil, even after shipping costs, is often cheaper than domestically-produced crude. And, while the U.S. does produce enough oil to meet its own needs, it is often the wrong type of oil.
Good ! Trump 2024! Drill baby drill !
"Paul Sankey" is an anagram for "Sulky Paean" (or alternatively, "Snake Layup"). -----
Oil production is a real problem for 2 reasons, first, oil demand and usage is declining, and second, oil reserves are rapidly declining and will be virtually depleted by the 2060's.
Well according to the "Club of Rome" we should have run out out oil by now.
"Depleted" according to whom? Hydrocarbons are the second most abundant liquid on the planet and we don't really know where it comes from or how it's made. For all we know the planet MAKES it. Besides, there are plenty of non-oil options.
@@thedailygreatness I don't know if you know this but there has been new break through in "Green Energy". Using the new fracking technology the oil driller have found hot spots beneath the earth crust of course this is nothing new.
