Energy Prospectus

From EIA: http://www.eia.gov/petroleum/weekly/arc ... _print.cfm

As you can see in the chart on page one, there is a very wide gap between the high and low analysts' forecasts. Obviously, what OPEC says at the end of this month will have a BIG impact on oil prices.

If Trump rips up the Iranian Nuke Deal, it will also have a BIG impact on oil prices.

Does anyone have a handle on how much of the Iranian production is from storage or increased production. I would think by now it would production,

Also, the Iran deal is a ship that has sailed. The Euros and others will not go back and Iran has been enriched by more than $150 billion. No wonder Iran can play hardball with Saudi.

I've heard that most of the crude that Iran had and still has in storage is heavy/sour crude that no one wants. That stuff trades in a different market and has little impact on Brent.

I've also heard that Iranian production has basically peaked and that they need more outside investment to increase production much further. With Trump in the White House, I doubt many companies will be eager to invest in Iran.

I did notice in the IEA Oil Market Report (at link above) there is no mention of Iran.
