Oil rises as investors bet on tighter supply, China's economy
2024-04-01 07:36

Shafaq News / Oil prices rose on Monday, adding to recent gains amid expectations of tighter supply from OPEC+ cuts, attacks on Russian refineries and as upbeat Chinese manufacturing data supported outlooks for improving demand.
Brent crude rose 29 cents, or 0.3%, to $87.29 a barrel by 0331 GMT after rising 2.4% last week. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $83.48 a barrel, up 31 cents, or 0.4%, following a 3.2% gain last week.
Trade volumes are expected to be thin on Monday as several countries are closed for Easter holidays.
Both benchmarks finished higher for a third consecutive month in March, with Brent holding above $85 a barrel since the middle of last month, as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and their allies, a group known as OPEC+, pledged to extend production cuts to the end of June which could tighten crude supply during summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on Friday that its oil companies will focus on reducing output rather than exports in the second quarter in order to evenly spread production cuts with other OPEC+ member countries.
Drone attacks from Ukraine have knocked out several Russian refineries, which is expected to reduce Russia's fuel exports.
"Geopolitical risks to crude and heavy feedstock supplies add to strong Q2 24 demand fundamentals," Energy Aspects analysts said in a note.
Almost 1 million barrels per day (bpd) of Russian crude processing capacity is offline from the attacks, impacting its high-sulphur fuel oil exports which are processed at Chinese and Indian refineries, the consultancy added.
In Europe, oil demand was firmer than expected, rising 100,000 bpd on year in February, Goldman Sachs analysts said, versus its forecast of a 200,000 bpd contraction in 2024.
Europe's firm demand, softness in U.S. supply growth coupled with a possible extension of OPEC+ cuts through 2024 outweigh downside risk from persistent softness in China's demand, they said in a note.
Crude oil production by the United States, the world's largest producer, dropped 6% in January from December's record high, following freezing weather, data from the Energy Information Administration showed on Friday.
"We see the risks to our forecast that Brent will average $83/bbl in 2024Q4 as skewed moderately to the upside," the analysts said.
Also supportive for prices, China's manufacturing activity expanded for the first time in six months in March, an official factory survey showed on Sunday, supporting oil demand at the world's largest crude importer, even as a crisis in the property sector remains a drag on the economy.
Investors are also scouring U.S. economic data for signs of when the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates this year which will support the global economy and oil demand.

American energy expert: Kurdistan Region is the most suitable place for investments

(PeyamaKurd - 2.03.2024 )


"Energy expert Matthew Zeiss stated that there are investment opportunities in the Kurdistan Region and said that Kurdistan is the most suitable place for investment compared to other regions of Iraq.

Zeiss stated that there are many investment opportunities in the Kurdistan Region, especially in the field of agriculture, and said, "There are many investment opportunities in the Kurdistan Region, especially in the field of agriculture. The opportunities provided by the government have drawn the world's attention to investing in the Kurdistan Region. Kurdistan Region can become Iraq's food basket by industrializing its agriculture, this is a very important success in itself."

Matthew Zeiss said about the visit of the delegation of the Kurdistan Regional Government to the United States, "The goal of the government delegation in Washington is to stabilize the security of the Kurdistan Region and make more American companies invest in the Kurdistan Region."

The American expert pointed out that the Kurdistan Region is the most suitable place for investments compared to other regions of Iraq, because its economy is diverse and said, "America can play an important role in restoring the Kurdistan Region's oil exports. Turkey has announced that it is ready to restart the oil pipeline to the Kurdistan Region and there is no problem for the oil pipeline, now it is Baghdad's turn to approve the restart of the process. Unfortunately, the situation in Baghdad is as follows: "Some parties don't want the oil export to continue, so the US needs to put pressure on Baghdad. If the oil export to the Kurdistan Region is not started again, it will affect the political stability in Iraq and the price of the world oil market."
The American expert Zeiss pointed out that the Kurdistan Regional Government has initiated economic reforms to diversify its economy and said, "The Kurdistan Region exported pomegranates and honey. Kurdistan is a major agricultural producer and has a good potential to become an exporter, not an exporter.

The President of Erbil Chamber of Commerce and Industry Geylan Haji Said said about the investments in the Kurdistan Region, "The Kurdistan Region, which has a suitable geography in terms of investment, stands out with its stability."

Haji Said pointed out the importance of Prime Minister Masrur Barzani's visit to the United States and said: "It was a very important visit. We expect many American investors to visit the Kurdistan Region and invest in different sectors. The United States needs its support for the region. "Prove Kurdistan. Because, as he explained, they have strong economic relations, especially with trade partners."
Haji Saeed pointed out that the investment laws in Kurdistan encourage investors and said that the Kurdistan Region gives the most opportunities for foreign investors to come to the Kurdistan Region, evaluate investment opportunities and start working.
On Thursday 29.02.2024, the American Chamber of Commerce welcomed Prime Minister Masrur Barzani.

At the reception, which was attended by many officials, employers, investors and personalities of the Kurdish diaspora in America, President Barzani thanked the support and friendship of America and its companies for investments in the Kurdistan Region.

The prime minister also emphasized on the reform agenda of the ninth cabinet in the field of economic diversity and building a strong infrastructure in the Kurdistan Region and requested American companies and investors to visit the Kurdistan Region and find investment opportunities in different fields."

The energy expert pointed out that the Kurdistan Region is the best place for investment compared to other parts of Iraq, because the Kurdistan Region has a diversified economy and there are investment opportunities in different sectors.

"The United States can play an important role in resuming oil exports from the Kurdistan Region, while the Turkish government has said the pipeline is ready and they have no objection to resuming it," he said "Obviously, some forces in Baghdad do not want to resume oil exports, so the United States must put pressure on Baghdad," he said.

"Until the Kurdistan Region resumes oil exports, it will affect political stability in Iraq, the pressure on the region will continue, and will also affect oil prices in the world markets," he said.

"It is very important for the Kurdistan Region to resume oil exports, and it is also very important for the United States," Zeiss said.

He added that the Kurdistan Region has provided the most facilities for foreign investors to come to the Kurdistan Region and see investment opportunities and start working.

Kurdistan Masrour Barzani KRG Counsil of Ministers Financial entitlements
ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani on Wednesday said their primary focus at the World Economic Forum in Davos was to underscore the “significance of upholding security, peace, and stability in the Kurdistan Region,” as well as putting an “end to the attacks targeting the region,” according to a Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) statement.

The remarks came during a KRG Council of Ministers meeting in Erbil, which the premier chaired.

At the start of the meeting, Prime Minister Barzani discussed the results of the KRG delegation to the Forum in Davos, Switzerland earlier in January.

The premier further emphasized that the Forum was a highly significant event, and it reflected the Kurdistan Region's geopolitical standing positively to world leaders.

Barzani also noted that this year, in Davos, they successfully inaugurated the Kurdish House, a place for leaders and investors to learn more about the Kurdistan Region and its economic outlook.

“This event saw the participation of numerous investors with the aim of fostering economic and trade relations between the private sector, as well as both domestic and foreign investors,” he added.

The Prime Minister, on behalf of the Council, extended his condolences once again to the families of martyr Peshraw Dizayee and all the victims of the attack and oppression targeting the people of the Kurdistan Region.

Later, the acting Minister of Natural Resources, Kamal Mohammed, presented the latest updates on the negotiations with Baghdad regarding the budget, salaries, production costs, and oil belonging to the Kurds.

The members of the KRG negotiating delegation and relevant ministers stressed that Erbil has fulfilled its obligations. The delegation had submitted a draft amendment to the federal budget law to remove obstacles currently preventing the remittance of the KRG's financial entitlements, particularly the salaries of its “civil servants,” a term used to denote government employees.

However, despite the Federal Council of Ministers' decision to partially fund the region's salary expenditure on January 14th in the form of loans, unfortunately, the delegation lamented that 17 days have passed with no action having been taken by Baghdad.

PC, he doesn't work in isolation tho'.
IMHO it's a message flagging that existing investors in Iraq are getting shafted, new investors need to measure twice. There was a parallel " Invest in Kurdistan/Iraq" message posted recently.
They want investment, they need to ensure existing investors are treated as per contract. JMV.
No ships today.

Confused_Gerbill yesterday - "Click bait, they share information with a zillion analytical and data mining companies."

This was the article on EnergyVoice that C_G was referring to:-

"Investors should stay away from E&P companies working in Kurdistan, Panmure Gordon research analyst Ashley Kelty has said."

Swell2316 on LSE 20 mins ago:-

"If I’m going to avoid anything, it’s recommendations from utter-manure-gordon. I took a recommendation from them many years ago and lost the whole stake. I even attended a meeting with them and their client and was told with a straight face that everything was kosher so I bit lip and 3 months later they had bailed out and the company folded. If I could get my hands round that chinless wonder’s throat…..there’s risk and I’m aware but, there’s also a reward for those who can stomach the bumpy ride."

So while the pi's were buying, they were bailing. And they'll also do the opposite of course.

They'll post a "Research Analysts" report telling private investors that something should be avoided, meanwhile they're sweepng up all the shares that they've caused the pi's to bail out of.

Beware "Research Analysts".

justiceforthemany - "1 million a day payable to Turkey by Baghdad each day the pipeline remains offline."

Talking about justice for the many.

In my opinion, once the IOCs have secured their legal rights in a cast iron agreement and the oil is flowing again both they and Turkey should head straight to the International Court of Arbitration to seek redress for the immense harm that they've suffered at the hands of the Iraqi Government through no fault of their own over the last almost two decades.

If it hadn't been for the shenanigans of politicians in Baghdad who through arrogance and ignorance thought they could ride roughshod over international law and the Iraqi constitution GKP would have been producing 100kbpd ten years ago, there would have been no restructuring, we'd have been receiving regular dividends and it would all look very different.

Under international law the PSCs are and always have been legal and under international law we are entitled to redress, both the IOCs and we their investors are entitled to appropriate compensation.

It galls me to think that once the oil is flowing again the ICG could be allowed to just walk away from the mess they created put it all behind them and carry on regardless as though nothing had happened.

International Arbitrator Jeffrey Sullivan KC who sits on the London Court of International Arbitration:-

Question (Rudaw) - What are the legal avenues that an IOC may use to seek redress for harm they may suffer?

Answer - "There are two avenues. One is investment arbitration, Iraq has entered into international treaties with 3rd countries that provide protection for foreign investors and those investors have the right to seek redress in international arbitration. The second is that there are contractual relationships with the KRG which tend to be governed by English law and the Federal Government could also be held liable under those contracts."

Question (Rudaw) - Would the ruling by the Supreme Court itself be considered a violation?

Answer - "There is the potential for a violation if the contracts were not honoured. Under the investment treaties there's a very good chance they've already violated those investment treaties because the decision of the court itself interferes with the investors investments so if we're looking at redress under investment treaties there's the possibility that the Government of Iraq has itself violated those treaties through the decision of the Supreme Court."

The ICG/SOMO are in a tough spot of their own making, a mountain of face saving required.

Ttiao yesterday - "Iraq has become a member of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). It means, Iraq can apply for the Bank's finance and policy support to develop Iraq's economy further, above all the private sector."

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is an international financial institution founded in 1991. As a multilateral developmental investment bank, the EBRD uses investment as a tool to build market economies.

With the biggest single shareholder being the United States the EBRD is owned by 71 countries and two European Union institutions.

Having just become the 74th member of this institution so that they can access investment to build Iraq's economy "above all the private sector" I find it hard to imagine that even the ICG will as their first act after joining, demonstrate they are unwilling to honour legally binding internationally recognised contracts and are prepared to ignore and violate every international treaty they have signed that exist to protect international investors and their investments thereby causing APIKUR to drag them through international courts for years fighting a case that both the ICG and the international investment community know the ICG would lose.

Rudaw interview with international arbitrator Jeffrey Sullivan KC who sits on the London Court of International Arbitration:-

Question (Rudaw) - What are the legal avenues that an IOC may use to seek redress for harm they may suffer?

Answer - "There are two avenues. One is investment arbitration, Iraq has entered into international treaties with 3rd countries that provide protection for foreign investors and those investors have the right to seek redress in international arbitration. The second is that there are contractual relationships with the KRG which tend to be governed by English law and the Federal Government could also be held liable under those contracts."

Question (Rudaw) - Would the ruling by the Supreme Court itself be considered a violation?

Answer - "There is the potential for a violation if the contracts were not honoured. Under the investment treaties there's a very good chance they've already violated those investment treaties because the decision of the court itself interferes with the investors investments so if we're looking at redress under investment treaties there's the possibility that the Government of Iraq has itself violated those treaties through the decision of the Supreme Court."

Question (Rudaw) - Is it possible that an International Court or any other International Institution can legally have the right to make any ruling about a ruling from the Supreme Court of a country.

"One of the main purposes of the international investment treaty regime is to protect investors from unreasonable and arbitrary decisions from domestic courts. So investment treaty tribunals very often review decisions by the highest courts of countries to determine if those decisions violate the other obligations that those countries have entered into under those investment treaties, so absolutely tribunals have the ability to review those decisions".

And as Shuan Zulal, Managing Director at Carduchi-Kurdistan oil & gas. A Research Associate at the European Centre for Energy and Resource Security (EUCERS), Kings College London said only a few days ago:-

"The companies can file a complaint and the court will probably decide in favor of the companies. The Iraqi government does not put pressure on the companies because it knows it will be harmful and that if the companies take the complaint to court that will not be in the interest of Iraq."
