Backdoc, Thunderhawk and Mountainman Thurs. AM  Part 1

KTFA:

BACKDOC:  TALK IS ALWAYS CHEAP, SO WE WATCH THE OIL INVENTORIES TO SEE THE CRUDE REALITY!    DOC  IMO

Mountainman:  Very INTERESTING......As I was READING This WEEKS OIL NEWS it Seemed to Me that Their was A COLLECTIVE NEGOTIATION...A Calculation coming to a Head and MANY COUNTRIES were in a "PAUSE and REFLECT" Mode before Something BIG UNVEILED Itself!!!!!!!! All seems to be "PANNING" Out!!!!!!!!......LOL  

Thunderhawk:  Oil prices recover ahead of Iran-Iraq talks

Crude prices recovered Wednesday before a meeting between the Iranian and Iraqi oil ministers following a Saudi Arabia-Russia agreement to freeze output...
....

In early afternoon London deals, Brent North Sea crude for delivery in April jumped $1.02 to $33.20 per barrel, according to AFP.
US benchmark West Texas Intermediate for March delivery added 64 cents to $29.68 a barrel from Tuesday's closing level.

Oil prices have tumbled about 70 percent since June 2014, hit by oversupply, sluggish demand and concerns over the global economic outlook.
Prices have come under renewed pressure from Iran's return to world markets after the lifting last month of international sanctions linked to its nuclear program.

The commodity had enjoyed a surge from Friday to early Tuesday as Moscow and Riyadh -- the world's two biggest producers -- prepared for talks on a rout that has seen the cost of a barrel collapse and hammered global markets.

But the conditional agreement between Saudi Arabia, Russia, Venezuela and Qatar to freeze output at record January levels, rather than make cuts, left a bad taste in the mouths of traders, sending both main contracts into reverse.

'Sharp price falls were (Tuesday's) market response to the joint decision of Saudi Arabia, Russia, Qatar and Venezuela to freeze their oil production at the January level for the time being,' said Commerzbank analyst Carsten Fritsch.

'This is because production will continue to exceed demand significantly for now, meaning that crude oil stocks will continue to grow.
'How prices now perform will depend to a major extent on the signals sent out from Iraq and Iran.

'There are indications that Iraq might be willing to cooperate, in which case Iraq's rapid production growth of almost 1.0 million barrels per day last year would at least come to an end.

Iran is bound to want to up its output following its long battle for sanctions to be lifted.

The weekly US oil inventories report is meanwhile scheduled for publication on Thursday, one day later than normal owing to a public holiday on Monday.

Thunderhawk:   Iran supports moves to improve oil price: Zangeneh

Iranian Minister of Petroleum Bijan Zangeneh said Tehran supports any move to stabilize the situation in the international crude oil market and improve the price of the product.

Speaking to reporters following a joint meeting among ministers of oil and energy of Iran, Iraq, Venezuela, and Qatar here on Wednesday, he said, “Today we had a good meeting and the report of yesterday’s meeting (in Doha) was presented. We welcome cooperation between OPEC and non-OPEC (producers).”

“The decision taken so that OPEC members and non-OPEC (countries) freeze their production ceiling in a bid to stabilize the market and improve prices in the interest of consumer and producer is also supported by us,” he told reporters, Shana reported.

He added that participants of the Tehran meeting were briefed about Iran’s return to the market in the post-sanctions era and said, “We discussed about this issue with the Iraqi, Qatari, and Venezuelan ministers of oil and energy and they viewed the reality with a logical view.”

“I hope that with the efforts which have been initiated, we would witness improvement of the market’s situation in future,” Zangeneh said.
Regarding the effect of a recent meeting between OPEC members and non-OPEC countries, the Iranian minister said, “One should wait to see its effect on prices.”

“As I said, this is the initial step and we have to look at it positively. Buy I think everybody agrees that we have to monitor the market situation and reaction and to consult on the next steps if necessary,” he said.

Referring to non-OPEC countries’ readiness to cooperate, Zangeneh said, “As I was told, Russia in the capacity of the world’s largest oil producer, Oman and other countries have expressed their joining up which is a positive move and we approach it in a positive way.”

“This is good start,” the Iranian minister said.

Thunderhawk:   S. Arabia, Russia to freeze oil output

Saudi Arabia and Russia agreed to freeze oil output, which is already at near-record levels. This is the first coordinated move by the world’s two largest producers to counter a slump that has pummeled economies, markets and companies.

According to Bloomberg, it’s the first significant cooperation between OPEC and non-OPEC producers in 15 years and Saudi Arabia said it’s open to further action.

Oil pared gains after the accord was announced, signaling traders see no immediate end to the global supply glut.

The deal to fix production at January levels, which includes Qatar and Venezuela, is the “beginning of a process” that could require “other steps to stabilize and improve the market,” Saudi Oil Minister Ali Al-Naimi said in Doha Tuesday after the talks with Russian Energy Minster Alexander Novak.

Qatar and Venezuela also agreed to participate, he said.

Saudi Arabia has resisted making any cuts in output to boost prices from a 12-year low, arguing that it would simply be losing market share unless its rivals also agreed to reduce supplies.

Naimi’s comments may continue to feed speculation that the world’s biggest oil producers will take action to revive prices.

“The reason we agreed to a potential freeze of production is simply the beginning of a process” over the next few months, Naimi told reporters.

“We don’t want significant gyrations in prices. We don’t want a reduction in supply. We want to meet demand. We want a stable oil price.”

**Prices Fall

More than a year since the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries decided not to cut production, oil remains about 70 percent below its 2014 peak, hovering around $140 a barrel.

Supply still exceeds demand and record global oil stockpiles continue to swell, potentially pushing prices below $20 a barrel before the rout is over, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said last week.

While Novak has said he could consider cuts if other countries joined in, Russia faces significant obstacles to doing so. The freeze is conditional on other nations agreeing to participate, Russia’s Energy Ministry said in a statement.

The group of producers plans to monitor output and prices for four months, Venezuelan Oil Minister Eulogio Del Pino said in an e-mailed statement.

“This is an announcement of a production freeze among countries whose production didn’t even grow recently,” said Eugen Weinberg, head of commodities research at Commerzbank AG in Frankfurt.

Oil erased gains in London after rising before the meeting amid speculation the countries would discuss production cuts. Brent crude fell 3.6 percent to settle at $32.18 a barrel Tuesday in London, having earlier climbed as much as 6.5 percent.
