The market situation Fair demand because of low prices recently (2014 – 2016) Oil production limited or decreasing in several countries : Venezuela – political and economical situation – lack of investment Libya : decrease of production from 1.8 to 0-0.8 Mbd depending upon political situation Nigeria : production less than 2 Mbd compared to 2.4 in 2012 Angola : decreasing production, lack of investment Sudan : decreasing production Etc… And the coming of US sanctions on Iran (November 5)
Situation in Iran Production in Iran was close to 4.4 Mbd US (and European) sanctions in 2012 : decrease in Iran production by 0.6 – 0.8 Mbd After the nuclear agreement (5+1 and Iran) production back to nearly 5 Mbd recently Iranian exports : around 2 Mbd. US strategy : reduce these exports to zero Iranian threats on the Hormuz Straits (around 18 Mbd – near 20 % of oil supplies go through the Strait)
