a 2020 Projections for the Oil Industry by robertbensh | Dec 3, 2019 | Uncategorized

Crude oil is big business in all parts of the world. The oil industry is currently projected to have a big year in 2020, although exactly what that might entail is up for some debate. Current forecasts have the industry having a big surplus at the start of the next decade, but this is contingent on a number of factors.

The United States of America currently has a great amount of power when it comes to global oil production. The US is currently the world’s largest oil producer and under the Trump administration it has taken a number of steps to become energy independent. By tapping into the vast oil reserves that the country has, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico, the United States has created a current oil boom within its borders.

This has cut down on some costs, particularly in the eld of exploration for new oil drilling sites.

The trade war between the United States and China has some people worried.

As two of the largest markets for oil, these countries ghting so ruthlessly with each other in an economic sense has resulted in lowered oil prices. This has in turn lead to investors becoming a little bit trigger shy with their nancial contributions to big oil companies.

A couple of big oil drilling out ts have had their capital reduced in the wake of modi ed credit lines. This has slowed the overall production of crude oil and has had an overall negative impact on the oil market.

Moving forward into the next decade comes with a variety of challenges for the oil industry. The companies that produce crude oil will have to ght for relevance in a global dialogue that is increasingly dominated by talk of renewable energy. The trade war between the United States and China will have to de-escalate in order for oil prices to rise to a comfortable level.
