OPEC looks to create conditions to boost upstream investment OPEC and its allies have moved the goalposts on their production cut agreement from rebalancing the market to fostering a more bullish market to incentivize upstream investment. Oil majors see reserves slip for fourth straight year Western oil majors saw their oil and gas reserves fall for a fourth straight year in 2017 and are replenishing more oil reserves than gas despite an industry trend to rebalance the production mix towards cleaner-burning natural gas. Total hopeful of obtaining waiver if US reimposes Iran sanctions Total remains committed to its South Pars gas investment in Iran, but the company's CEO said Thursday he is hopeful of obtaining a waiver from the US Administration if it withdraws from the Iran nuclear deal and reimposes sanctions. US moves closer to oil, gas lease sales in Alaska's ANWR The Trump administration has started the regulatory steps to hold at least two lease sales in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in the next decade, as required by the tax bill Congress approved in December. NYMEX May crude settles lower on Omani minister remarks NYMEX May crude fell 18 cents to settle Thursday at $68.29/b, turning into negative territory when the Omani oil minister was quoted downplaying the likelihood of sharply higher prices. European fuel oil, bunker prices hit multi-year highs on firming crude The 3.5% FOB Rotterdam barge market and Rotterdam 380 CST delivered bunker fuel has hit 3-1/2 year highs in the wake of rising ICE Brent futures. High prices undermining WAF bunker demand -- sources Bunker fuel demand at West African ports such as Lome and Dakar has been waning over recent months due mainly to high prices, sources said. Finland's Neste mulls whether to produce 0.5% sulfur bunkers Finnish oil refiner Neste is currently assessing whether or not it will produce 0.5% sulfur bunker fuels for when marine fuel sulfur limits drop to that level in 2020, a company representative told S&P Global Platts Wednesday. European fuel oil heads to Red Sea as summer air-con demand kicks in The first indications of summer air-conditioning demand emerged Thursday after two vessels were heard on subjects to take fuel oil from Europe for discharge in the Red Sea. Fuel oil market begins to experiment to produce 0.5% marine fuels Low sulfur crudes, low sulfur straight run, gasoline and gasoil are some components. Future of scrubbers still shrouded by dark clouds ahead of IMO 2020 rule "Scrubbers as a solution [to meet compliance to IMO's 2020 rule] is off the table for now," said Eastport Maritime's Mike Beviss. FOB Singapore 500 ppm sulfur gasoil cash differential flips to positive territory Compounding the bullishness, demand has also started to gain momentum, sources said. FUTURES: Crude rises further on US EIA stock data Analysts surveyed Monday by S&P Global Platts were looking for US crude stocks to have risen by 625,000 barrels for the same period.
