Goldman Sachs analysts predict oil supply shortage by 2024
- Investments
- Sergey Mingazov Editorial Forbes
The global oil market by next year may face a shortage of supply due to a lack of production capacity, Goldman Sachs analyst warned. According to him, by May 2023, demand may exceed supply, and the price of oil may rise from the current $80 per barrel to $100 or more.0893
The oil market will face a production challenge in 2024, according to Bloomberg, citing Jeff Curry, who heads commodity market research at US investment bank Goldman Sachs. According to Curry's forecast, which he made at a conference in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), the reduction in oil production capacity will be a problem for the oil market, but will increase oil prices.
“A commodity supercycle is a series of price spikes, with each high higher and each low higher,” Curry said. According to him, by May 2023, demand in the oil market will exceed supply. As sanctions likely cut Russian oil exports and demand in China is expected to recover amid the abandonment of the “zero COVID-19” policy, according to Goldman.”, prices will rise above $100 a barrel from their current level of around $80.

Lack of investment in upstream capacity to meet demand will also be a factor in price increases, capacity shortages could become a major problem by 2024, Curry said at a conference on Sunday, Feb. 5. Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman at the same conference in Riyadh on Saturday, February 4, condemned the lack of investment in the industry. He stated that OPEC+ would be cautious when making decisions to increase oil production.
The minister said OPEC+'s efforts to curb supply have saved oil markets from a collapse in demand during the pandemic. The OPEC+ Market Monitoring Committee recommended in February that the group keep oil production unchanged. Curry reiterated Goldman's forecast that OPEC+ will lift production limits, but plans to increase it later this year. “Right now we are still in surplus because China has yet to fully recover,” the analyst said.

Since February 5, sanctions against Russian oil products have come into effect - a ban on their sea supplies to the EU, as well as price ceilings set by the European Union and the G7. Since December, similar measures have been in place for Russian crude oil. The price ceiling, which for crude oil is set at $60 per barrel, for petroleum products will operate in two versions - $100 per barrel for diesel and $45 per barrel for fuel oil.
On February 1, a presidential decree came into force in Russia, according to which oil supplies to countries that have set a price ceiling for Russian oil and oil products are prohibited. The Russian authorities are considering the possibility of completely abandoning the use of quotations of Russian Urals oil in the calculation of oil taxes, replacing them with quotations of the reference Brent brand, Kommersant reported citing sources.

At the end of January, Vladimir Putin instructed the government to submit proposals by March to clarify the methodology for determining the price of oil and petroleum products used for taxation in order to minimize the negative impact on budget revenues under sanctions. Vedomosti, citing sources, wrote that two options were being discussed - to tie the calculation of the cost of oil to the reference grades Brent or Dubai Crude.
