How the shale revolution is reshaping world markets | Financial Times:
The latest short-term outlook for US oil production published by the Energy Information Administration shows output rising to 13.2m barrels a day by the end of 2020. If this is achieved (and the EIA is traditionally cautious), the US will be the largest producer in the world, by a clear margin over Saudi Arabia and Russia.
Two-thirds of that production will come from “tight oil” — that produced by fracking shale rocks. Ten years after the shale business began, the revolution is as dynamic as ever.
Commentators who said shale was a marginal short-term phenomenon that would be killed off by falling prices, or rapid reservoir depletion, have been proved wrong. What began as a gas play now supplies the US with the bulk of its oil and gas needs.

Azerbaijan wants stable oil price before any further output cut - The Peninsula Qatar
Azerbaijan wants stable oil price before any further output cut - The Peninsula Qatar:
Azerbaijan, the third-biggest former Soviet oil producer, wants to see stability in oil prices before deciding whether to support any extension of global cuts in crude output, the country's energy minister said.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and several other exporters, including Azerbaijan, are cutting oil production jointly by 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd) in an effort to stabilise oil markets and boost the price of crude.
The current arrangement runs until the end of June and is the subject of further discussion on whether it should be extended into the second half of 2019. For non-OPEC producers, Russia is leading the deal and making the biggest cuts.

Persian Gulf Countries Are Having Their Own Oil Crisis - Bloomberg
Persian Gulf Countries Are Having Their Own Oil Crisis - Bloomberg:
Countries one through four on the list of the world’s biggest oil consumers in 2017 are pretty much who you’d expect them to be — the world’s four biggest economies. 1 No. 5 is something else:
Saudi Arabia has just 33 million people, less than one-fourth as many as Russia, the country just below it on the list. Yes, it’s rich, but its gross domestic product ranks in the high teens worldwide, not fifth. By global standards, then, it clearly uses an inordinate amount of oil.
That amount, though, was actually down in 2017 from the year before. And therein lies a story, one that is told — quite well — in a new book titled “Energy Kingdoms: Oil and Political Survival in the Persian Gulf.” It’s by Jim Krane, a former journalist who is now a fellow at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy in Houston, and it combines a concise history of the region’s oil and gas boom and its consequences with an illuminating critique of the two main political science theories that have attempted to explain what oil riches mean for the region’s politics.

OPEC Again Faces Choice Between Trump's Wrath and Oil Slump - Bloomberg
OPEC Again Faces Choice Between Trump's Wrath and Oil Slump - Bloomberg:
It’s becoming a familiar choice for OPEC: risk the pain of an oil-price slump, or provoke the wrath of President Donald Trump.
After another warning on Twitter on Monday to avoid pushing crude higher, Saudi Arabia and fellow Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries producers again are faced with a dilemma: suffer a market rout that batters their export-dependent economies or defy the president, who could enforce legislation that shakes the group to its foundations.
OPEC and its allies started a new round of output cuts last month to avert a surplus being created by record U.S. shale-oil output and fragile global fuel demand. Crude prices have rallied more than 20 percent this year, an obstacle for Trump while he exerts diplomatic pressure on two major OPEC nations: Iran and Venezuela.

Rouhani Wants Iran's Largest Pension Fund Manager Privatized - Bloomberg:
President Hassan Rouhani said the investment arm of Iran’s main social security provider must be privatized as part of a wider effort to scale back inefficient public-sector involvement in the economy.
“The promise I have made to the parliament and people is that next year will be the year of privatization of large companies, including Shasta,” Rouhani said on Monday, according to the state-run Iranian Labour News Agency. The company’s formal name is Social Security Investment Co. Iran’s new calendar year begins March 21.
Shasta has investments in pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, steel and cement. After international sanctions against Iran were lifted in 2016, the company said it was seeking foreign partners to help manage and expand $15 billion of assets in addition to selling stakes in almost half of 120 companies in its portfolio through public offerings or private equity investments.

UPDATE 2-Bahrain sees budget deficit falling to $1.6 bln in 2020 | Reuters:
Bahrain’s cabinet on Monday approved a draft state budget for the next two years that projects a further reduction in its deficit to reach $1.63 billion by 2020 as part of a fiscal reform programme.
Bahrain, which does not have the vast oil wealth of other Gulf Arab states, last year released a plan to fix its debt-burdened finances after securing a $10 billion Gulf aid pledge. It aims to eliminate its budget deficit by 2022.
The draft forecast spending at 3.25 billion dinars ($8.62 billion) in 2019 and 3.28 billion dinars in 2020. It also announced additional public investments of 670 million dinars in 2019, with an equal amount allocated for 2020.

Hedge funds added more bullish positions in crude and fuels in the most recent week in the expectation that positive trade talks between the United States and China would keep the global economy expanding.
Saudi Arabia’s substantial output cuts and U.S. sanctions on Iran and Venezuela also are restricting crude supplies and helping eliminate a previously expected surplus in the market in 2019.
Hedge funds and other money managers were net buyers of Brent crude futures and options equivalent to 9 million barrels in the week to Feb. 19, data from ICE Futures Europe showed.

Evening Standard investor unveiled as Saudi businessman | Media | The Guardian:
The mysterious off-shore purchaser of a stake in the Evening Standard newspaper has been unveiled as a Saudi businessman with ties to the country’s state-owned bank.
Sultan Mohamed Abuljadayel bought a third of the news outlet’s parent company from Evgeny Lebedev, son of a Russia oligarch, for £25m at the end of last year, according to the FT. A spokesperson for the Evening Standard did not dispute that Abuljadayel was behind the purchase, which was made through a company registered in the Cayman Islands.
The confirmation of Saudi investment in London’s main newspaper, edited by the former Conservative chancellor George Osborne and distributes 860,000 copies a day for free across the capital, comes as scrutiny is growing of Middle Eastern investments in British media outlets.

Foreigners Slow Saudi Share Spree Even as Index Upgrade Nears - Bloomberg:
Foreign investors are slowing the pace at which they are buying Saudi stocks, even as the kingdom’s inclusion in major emerging-markets benchmarks lies just around the corner.
Foreign investors were net buyers of about 443 million riyals ($118 million) in Saudi shares last week, a drop of 47 percent from the previous five days and the second straight week of slower purchases. Analysts and traders are closely monitoring the appetite for the country’s shares as they are about to begin to be included in emerging-market benchmarks compiled by FTSE Russell and MSCI Inc. next month and in June, respectively.
As investors anticipate purchases before the upgrades, some emerging-markets money managers view Saudi stock valuations as too high compared with the category they’re about to join. In January, the Tadawul All Share Index reached the most expensive level relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index since 2015, when measured using estimated price-to-earnings in the next 12 months.

Oil prices dipped on Monday, dragged down by plentiful supply as U.S. exports soar and compete with traditional producers from the Middle East in key markets such as Asia.
But markets were supported by optimism that Washington and Beijing would soon resolve a series of trade disputes that have dented global economic growth, analysts said.
International Brent crude oil futures were at $66.94 a barrel at 0747 GMT, down 18 cents, or 0.3 percent, from their last close. They ended Friday little changed after touching their highest since Nov. 16 at $67.73 a barrel.

Goldman Sachs says near-term oil view modestly bullish on tightening market | Reuters:
The near-term outlook for oil is modestly bullish as the market continues to tighten significantly, Goldman Sachs said on Monday, helped by the impact of output cuts by producers in the Organization of Petroleum Export Countries (OPEC) and Russia.
The upside potential for benchmark Brent crude prices exceeds the near-term outlook of $67.50/bbl and could easily trade between $70 and $75 per barrel, the U.S. bank said in a research note.
OPEC and its allies, including Russia, agreed in December to cut oil production steeply under a global supply deal to prevent a glut this year.
