Saudi Arabia Claims Success In The Oil Price War





Financial Times: Saudi claims oil price strategy success


Saudi Arabia says its strategy of squeezing high-cost rivals such as US shale producers is succeeding, as the world’s largest crude exporter seeks to reassert itself as the dominant force in the global oil market.

The kingdom’s production rose to a record high of 10.3m barrels a day in April and there is no sign that it plans to reverse its policy at next month’s meeting of Opec, the producers’ cartel, in Vienna.

Is market share and suppression of competition really their end strategic goal?

It will be interesting to see these oil rentier states in 20 years from now, with all the conversions to wind, solar and geothermal energy picking up.

Wind and solar cannot be base for an electrical grid.

Not yet.

Germany has to go back to coal unless they want to bring down their grid and trash a whole bunch of electronics.

Low power/ brown outs damages equipment similar to over voltages.
