DOE: Tight supply, high demand pushing up oil prices, situation unlikely to change in 2021
MANILA - The Department of Energy on Tuesday said that tight supply in the international world market and high demand are behind the rising oil prices with the situation unlikely to change until the end of the year.
Romero said on the supply side, the unresolved issues on Iran nuclear deal, sanctions on Venezuela and the hurricane that hit the Gulf of Mexico where most of the oil-producing facilities of the United States were affected.“Base sa forecast data parang hanggang end of December may deficit tayo na 2.91 million barrels per day,” said Romero.
“Ang OPEC nasa kanila ang kapangyarihan kung paano magdadagdag pa ng supply sa world market kaya parang naka wait and see sila. Hindi tayo basta makapagbigay ng projection kasi baka samantalahin naman talaga, mas lalong magkaroon ng disruption sa balance between supply and demand. Hindi tayo makapagbigay ng final pronouncement kasi naka wait and see ang OPEC at may meeting this November,” she said.
“Patuloy yung ginagawa naming price monitoring pati po dito sa domestic price sa sitwasyon natin para mapansin na walang pang-aabuso,” she said.
