Saturn Oil & Gas, TORC Oil & Gas, Whitecap Resources - it's time for harmless oil!

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?

    Costs, Costs, Costs: Can High Oil Prices Benefit dynaCERT?

    Elevated energy prices resulting from the US war of aggression in the Persian Gulf are driving up transportation costs across many industries. Logistics providers in particular are exposed to rising diesel prices. If the conflict drags on much longer, shortages could soon arise in Europe as well. In this environment, dynaCERT's technology can quickly provide relief for logistics providers by reducing fuel consumption and operating costs—an angle that is still under the radar of many investors. But persistently high energy prices are likely to soon shift the focus to this innovative tech company.

    The global commodities landscape is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Oil remains important, but the strategic focus is shifting toward the metals and minerals that make technological transformation possible in the first place. Artificial intelligence, robotics, and electrification are driving demand for copper, rare earths, and specialty materials—paradoxically, the more efficient production becomes, the greater the demand. Markets are already responding with rising volatility. Anyone looking to invest today must understand these drivers. A look at BP, Globex Mining, and Rio Tinto shows just how varied the responses can be.

    The start of the week was volatile. Oil prices are rising sharply again, up around 12%, increasing pressure on consumers and policymakers. Now the Black-Red coalition government has developed a 17-cent package set to be passed in the coming weeks. A temporary reduction in the eco-tax is intended to help. Geopolitical tensions continue to drive price volatility, even though underlying supply-demand fundamentals in oil and gas do not indicate a structural shortage. Prime Minister Söder is even calling for a resumption of gas exploration in Germany. Who would have thought? We, too, are looking at possible alternatives and taking a closer look at nuclear power and hydrogen. For investors, companies such as Siemens Energy, Standard Uranium, Plug Power, and Nel ASA are increasingly coming into focus, as they stand to benefit directly or indirectly from these structural energy shifts. We take a closer look at the underlying drivers.
