In less than a year or faster, medium term profit will come back to serve any debt and into the black zone. Countries with less than million bpd crude oil production are not really significant to impact the global price, and they shouldn't be imposed with production cut. Instead major OPEC members and non-OPEC major oil producers greediness are highly significant in determine the crude oil prices, and should be subject to output cut regimes.

Russia has about US$550bil stashed away in some of the biggest rainy-day funds in the world, but President Vladimir Putin’s support measures only account for about 2% of gross domestic product (GDP), according to ING Bank.
MOSCOW: As leaders around the globe compete with ever-bigger spending packages, the Kremlin is hoarding hundreds of billions of dollars in reserves, worried that oil prices will stay low for a long time.
Russia has about US$550bil stashed away in some of the biggest rainy-day funds in the world, but President Vladimir Putin’s support measures only account for about 2% of gross domestic product (GDP), according to ING Bank.
During the 2008-2009 global financial crisis, the country spent a tenth of GDP to counter the collapse but was able to rebuild its reserves within just a few years as crude rebounded. This time around the Kremlin is hunkering down for a prolonged period of low export revenues.
“Oil prices have fallen below a level anyone thought imaginable, ” said Alexandra Suslina, a budget specialist at the Economic Expert Group, a Moscow think-tank that advises the government. “They need to spend the reserves carefully because that’s all there is.”
The approach has caused outrage among business owners and lobby groups, who warn that insufficient stimulus could lead to mass unemployment, bankruptcies and a deep economic slump.
The central bank estimated that a government ruling for most Russians to work from home for the whole of April could knock 1.5% to 2% off growth this year, while the budget is being re-written to prepare for oil prices at US$20 a barrel.
“So far there are promises but no help, I don’t know even one businessman who received help and almost everyone has suffered, ” said Aleksandr Khurudzhi, head of the Business Protection Association in Moscow.
The government’s stimulus package, which will be partly funded by taxes on the rich, so far amounts to a 300 billion ruble (US$3.9bil) fund to support struggling firms, and some tax and mortgage breaks.
Before the crisis, the government was planning to boost spending this year, and officials have stressed that they won’t cut that.
Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said last week that the government has reserved 1.4 trillion rubles if needed, although it wasn’t clear what the money would be spent on and how much would come from existing budgets.
“There’s a lot of discussion about using the budget to give people handouts, but that’s just not right, ” Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on state TV last week.
“The budgets will burst, they’re already struggling to cope with the strain on healthcare.”
Alexei Kudrin, a former finance minister called last week for the strict rules that limit spending from the US$165bil wealth fund, the liquid chunk of Russia’s reserves, to be altered to free up money.
He said a mechanism needed to be created to distribute support directly to people. Sergei Guriev, the former chief economist at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, said Russia should be spending around 10% of GDP. — Bloomberg
Trumph need funds for his president campaign. He need to take care of his financial supply allies, he will at least agreed to cut production till the president campaign ends.
ANKARA Crude oil prices were up on Wednesday as the upcoming meeting between OPEC and its allies, known as OPEC+, give hope to investors of potential support to prices. International benchmark Brent crude was trading at $32.32 per barrel at 0620 GMT for a 1.4% increase after it closed Tuesday at $31.87 a barrel. American benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) was at $24.72 a barrel at the same time for a 4.6% gain after ending the previous day at $23.63 per barrel. The oil producing member countries of OPEC+ will hold a teleconference on Thursday to discuss the low price environment and the supply-demand balance in the global oil market. Due to the rapid spread of coronavirus, or the COVID-19 disease, weak economic activity around the world has lowered global oil demand, increasing the glut of supply in the market. Saudi Arabia-led OPEC and Russia-spearheaded non-OPEC failed on March 6 to lower their collective output, causing a massive plummet in prices, which fell on March 30 to their lowest level since 2002. The OPEC+ group is estimated on Thursday to lower their collective oil production level by between 10-15 million barrels per day in order to trim some of the oversupply.
Oh My goodness, Oil price was unbelievable spike up to the sky high ! As at 4.35am, Nymex => $26.09 (+2.46) (+10.41%) Brent => $33.54 (+1.67) (+5.24%)
The price of a West Texas Intermediate barrel of oil shot up on Wednesday afternoon by nearly 7% shortly after OPEC’s President gave the market fresh optimism about tomorrow’s virtual OPEC++ meeting. “The meeting will undoubtably be fruitful in order to rebalance the market through measures we will take tomorrow,” Mohamed Arkab, OPEC’s President and Algeria’s Energy Minister told state news agency APS, according to Reuters.
While an intangible statement, the optimistic words spoken by the OPEC President seem to be just what the doctor ordered for the volatile markets as speculators try to make the most out of the oil-price plunge. As a result of today’s spike, trading of the biggest oil ETF, the United States Oil Fund (USO), had been halted temporarily. Trading of the USO has since resumed. The USO is trading up 4.03% as of 3:03pm EDT. All eyes remain on the potential deal that OPEC group may come up with tomorrow in what could be the largest oil production cut deal ever. Signatories to the deal could include, in addition to OPEC, Brazil, Norway, Canada, and all the OPEC+ countries that signed onto the previous deal. While some are hoping that the United States may join in the cuts, a formal agreement between the US and other oil producers appears unlikely. Saudi Arabia and Russia, together responsible for producing more than 22 million barrels per day, are expected to make or break the chances of a production cut deal.
A 10 million bpd figure has been discussed by meeting attendees in the run-up to the meeting, although that figure would be insufficient to offset the loss in oil demand that the market has seen due to the coronavirus.
Epf dumped 93mil in 2 days----very obvious during the massive plunged, it is Epf that supported price all the way to 0.09cents. Dumping at 0.160, Epf makes 77% ( If i got this type of Free money, i will do better then Epf( in my Dream ) )
