Forecasts, Prices, And Market Fluctuations
The financial results of oil and gas companies improved significantly last year due to rising oil prices, with West Texas Intermediate reaching $51 per barrel in 2017, $7 per barrel higher than the previous year, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
WTI oil prices exceeded $72 per barrel early this year before falling to about $65 after ministers from Russia and Saudi Arabia indicated they might increase production later this year in response to President Donald Trump’s criticism over rising prices.
Although oil prices have fallen from their highs this year, Andy Lipow of Lipow Oil Associates said he expects oil prices to bounce back to $80, from the recent $75 as Venezuelan production declines and the impact of Iranian sanctions on supply becomes clearer. Saudi Arabia prefers higher prices ahead of the Aramco IPO.
The top 25 oil and gas companies on the Forbes Global 2000 generated $144.6 billion in revenues from $2.9 trillion in sales during the 12-month period of the list, well above the $73 billion in sales from $2.2 trillion the previous year.
