In recent years, there has been a growing trend in modern society that food must originate from the region and a declaration as 'organic' is now considered mandatory. Coffee beans from distant countries should definitely carry the label 'Fairtrade' and blood diamonds are rightly considered frowned upon. Consumers have changed the supply with their purchasing and market power. When will the oil market change?

    Top 10 oil production

    The global oil market is as large as all other commodity markets combined. It is therefore all the more important that this market functions properly, i.e. that supply and demand can meet in equal quantities to ensure fair pricing. In October 2019, the USA led the list of producing countries with a quantity of 12.6 million barrels per day.

    Russia ranked second with 10.6 million barrels, followed by Saudi Arabia with 10.3 million barrels, Iraq with 4.6 million barrels and China with 3.8 million barrels. In sixth place was Canada with 3.6 million barrels per day, followed by Kuwait with 2.6 million barrels, Nigeria with 2.0 million barrels, Norway with 1.5 million barrels and Angola with 1.4 million barrels.

    Tolerance despite death penalties

    It is no secret that countries that rely on large deposits of raw materials are not necessarily modern and developed. Often dictators and autocrats have such countries firmly in their grip and the revenues tend to seep into private pockets rather than to promote and advance society.

    For example, the death penalty is on the agenda in many producing countries and a large part of the proceeds from oil production goes into the military budget. The latter is probably also one reason why the political tolerance of the Western world towards countries with little understanding of human rights is so great.

    More than 100 million barrels per day

    With its high environmental standards, Canada is virtually the 'organic farmer' among the oil-producing countries. Based on facts, it is probably only a matter of time before a new trend emerges that oil must come from countries that, like Canada, protect the environment and respect human rights.

    A development that will also benefit the companies Saturn Oil & Gas, TORC Oil & Gas and Whitecap Resources. The demand for oil in modern society will remain unbroken for many decades to come. Demand will continue to come not only from the energy sector, but also from other processing industries that require crude oil as an ingredient. Would consumers at the gas station prefer harmless fuel?

    The geopolitical situation is currently creating renewed uncertainty. In Ukraine, the drone war is intensifying, while Russia and Ukraine continue to step up their attacks. At the same time, the conflict between the US and Iran remains unresolved. According to Iran, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, while Trump claims otherwise. For the markets, however, all of this is highly dangerous: oil prices continue to rise as uncertainty over energy supplies and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz increases. While geopolitical risks, energy prices, and Trump's unpredictable statements are "shaking up" the major stock indices in both directions, opportunities are simultaneously emerging for companies poised to benefit from energy supply, infrastructure, and technological transformation. We take a closer look at Plug Power, Allianz and Zefiro Methane from the perspective of which companies could benefit from the geopolitical state of emergency, rising energy demand, and the new industrial reality.

    Some treasures lie deep beneath the ground. Others are well hidden in balance sheets. And some are simply waiting for the right catalyst to emerge. Canadian explorer Lahontan Gold is on track to potentially multiply its underlying asset value with spectacular drill results. Allianz shares have been climbing relentlessly following a strategic multibillion-euro deal in Asia. And geopolitical price shocks are generating unexpected additional profits for energy giant BP. Where are these hidden treasures, and how could the combination of drill results, balance-sheet strength and oil barrels trigger a powerful re-rating?
