The chairman of oil giant Shell said Thursday that he doubts clean energy can move fast enough to meet the United Nations climate warnings without a substantial policy push, despite the technology being readily at hand.

"Our analysis says we could solve this problem with the technology we have, but there is not enough pull to get it over in the kind of time frame that the scientists say we really need to avoid that," said Chad Holliday, chairman of Royal Dutch Shell, speaking at an energy innovation forum in Washington.

Holliday was referring to the warnings underscored in the U.N.'s latest climate findings calling for replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy soon or risk the worst effects of global warming.

New analysis from Shell finds, Holliday said, finds that the technology shift need to achieve the U.N. goals can occur by 2070. But Holliday says the dilemma is having the technology but not moving rapidly enough to put it in place in the U.N.'s time frame.

"Unless there is big policy action, which drives the technology, we're just not going to get there," Holliday added.

He said the most simple solution to keep companies like his in the clean energy game is to keep federal funding predictable and constant over a 10-year period, while also creating programs that leverage federal funds with spending from the private sector.

He said that he was concerned that China was already doing this, and in many ways is doing a better job than the United States.

Oil prices led lower by rising U.S. production, inventories

Jan. 17 (UPI) -- Crude prices fell early Thursday despite an OPEC report confirming a significant output cut because of bearishness related to rising U.S. oil production and inventories.

West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures fell 2 percent to $51.22 per barrel as of 7:35 a.m. with Brent futures declining 1.8 percent to $60.22 per barrel.

WTI prices increased from $42.53 per barrel during the Christmas holiday week to $52.59 per barrel a week ago.

"The battle continues to rage between the two key supply factors in the market -- rising U.S. oil production versus the onset of OPEC production cuts," Matt Smith, director of commodity research at ClipperData, told UPI.

"Even though today's monthly OPEC report shows a significant drop in OPEC production of 750,000 barrels per day -- led by Saudi Arabia but also aided by Iran -- the market is dealing with a hangover from yesterday's weekly EIA report," he added.

The latest data released by the Energy Information Administration shows U.S. production is now pegged at a record 11.9 million barrels per day, while U.S. product inventories rise strongly, Smith said.

The direction of WTI prices would likely depend on the demand side of the market.

"Because the market is in contango, i.e. the front month prices are lower than deferred months, I don't see the market placing much emphasis on the supply side," John Thorpe commodity broker at Cannon Trading, told UPI.

"Currently I am paying more attention to the demand side of this market. North of the Horse latitude's, the 30th parallel, we are in the dead of winter, demand for heating oil has been steady. Unleaded sales have been soft," he said.

"Look for the market to be range bound until a marked change to the above occurs. Look for the March WTI Crude contract to remain between $50.50 and $55.00 for the foreseeable future," he added.
RELATED Crude prices rise after positive news from China

Other than that, the biggest unknown is whether the United States will renew waivers so that Iran could continue selling crude oil.

The May announcement by the United States of nuclear program-related sanctions against Iran, and countries that would continue to buy oil from it, led to concern that the market would see shortages once the sanctions started on November 5.

Concern about potential shortages resulting from the sanctions led to price gains, with WTI trading above $76 per barrel and Brent above $86 per barrel on October 3 at the peak of the concern.

Production increases started to lead to price declines later in October. Then, on Nov. 5, the day U.S. sanctions against Iran started, the United States announced waivers so that eight nations could continue to buy its crude oil -- including the biggest purchasers. The waivers expire on March.

"Geopolitics have already been discounted.Tightening sanctions against Iran are still on the books for the first of March," Thorpe said.

Separately, Sukrit Vijayakar, analyst at Trifecta Consultants, told UPI that he believes price levels would have an influence on the United States decision on whether or not to renew the Iran related wavers.

"Traders need to remember that if prices overshoot, especially in the face of no evidence of shortage of supply, Iran waivers could be extended. While (U.S. President Donald) Trump has issues with Iran, he has more issues with getting reelected than Iran per se," he said.

Makes it even funnier that Trump spent so much time trying to talk the price of crude oil down last year. A genius like he claims? Hhmmm ... don't think so.

Maybe he'll be keeping his massive yap shut this year when oil prices start to rally. :)

Can Royal Dutch Shell's Cash Flows Remain Consistent?

[Short answer - yes - FJ]

Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS.A), saw profits surge in the last quarter, as improvements to capital efficiency has meant the company reported a strong quarter. With oil prices falling into the twenty’s a couple of years ago, Shell decided to re-focus its strategy. Previously it had focused on acquiring assets, and paid little attention to quality. When the oil prices fell, it had to quickly re-strategize to keep profitability up, and the strategy has paid off. Gas and exploration income almost doubled from the previous year, and the upstream segment of the company saw significant increases. Along with the increase in income, profits almost tripled from the previous year .

We have a price estimate of $67 per share for Royal Dutch Shell, which is 10% higher than its current market price. View our interactive dashboard – Royal Dutch Shell In 2019 and modify the key drivers to visualize their impact on its valuation.

Shell has significantly tightened how it allocated capital in 2018. Capital Expenditure (capex), has remained steady through 2018, and is at similar levels from 2017. Capex is expected to continue into 2019. This means Shell will weather any major prices changes in oil, far better than previous years, where it wasn’t prepared for an oil collapse. The volatility in oil could be a reason why the stock remains muted, as investors look for consistent quarterly results before investing in the stock. But with capital expenditure tightening, we expect free cash flow to come in at $20 billion in 2019, up from ~$16 billion in 2018. The company’s average realized price for 2018 has been $65, and we are currently expecting a similar average realized price in 2019.

Currently the stock trades at a price of $60, and our price estimate is at $67, should cash flows come in strong as expected, we could see the price of the stock achieve much higher levels, with the stock reaching as high as $73 which is illustrated in in our chart labeled (share price), and our dashboard. But for the stock’s price to rise to $73, the company would have to show 2-3 quarters of consistent results. With OPEC expected to keep a tight lid on supply, we expect oil prices to remain steady. Overall, Royal Dutch Shell’s stock is well placed to go higher in 2019.

So 28th January buybacks finish, they missed analyst forecast last quarter if I remember, but market pleased with buyback program, oil was 75 dollars then, so next quarter figures do you think they will meet analyst forecast, with a falling oil price.
Its going to be interesting who will be right bulls or the bears.
