- 2:03Speaker 1: and you've got different members saying they might do this,
- 2:05Speaker 1: they might do this. Uh, you know, and I don't
- 2:08Speaker 1: think personally that they're going to change their production levels,
- 2:12Speaker 1: but the fact that that could be on the table
- 2:14Speaker 1: if prices fall further is something that has stemmed prices.

- 4:49Speaker 1: bim box at Kathleen Hayes on Bloomberg Radio. Taking stock
- 4:54Speaker 1: of the energy market. We step back. Two big forces
- 4:59Speaker 1: at work of You say a global supply glut uh
- 5:02Speaker 1: that has not been sufficient and reduced. Others say, well,
- 5:06Speaker 1: global demand that keeps rising. Sooner or later that all
- 5:08Speaker 1: price will not on lea surpass fifty bucks of barrowbable
- 5:11Speaker 1: head to sixties seventy even higher. Our next guest is
- 5:15Speaker 1: looking at oil field services. This may be key this
- 5:18Speaker 1: part of the industry to how prices performed. Next, Sean
- 5:22Speaker 1: Heinroth is a principal oil and gas at the consulting
- 5:25Speaker 1: from A. T. Kearney and he's joining us from Houston, Texas,
- 5:29Speaker 1: the heart of US oil country. Shaun, welcome, Hey, thank
- 5:32Speaker 1: you very much. Kathleen, happy to be here. So, UH,
- 5:36Speaker 1: tell us broadly how the oil field services fits into
- 5:41Speaker 1: the industry right now and why it's so important to
- 5:44Speaker 1: your outlook for how quickly oil prices can rise and
- 5:47Speaker 1: how long they can stay at higher levels A couple
- 5:50Speaker 1: of things, Kathleen, I think that the oil field service
- 5:53Speaker 1: industry as a whole is a very complementary piece to
- 5:56Speaker 1: what determines ultimately what we're able to supply UH in
- 6:00Speaker 1: the energy side of the equation. So they work with
- 6:03Speaker 1: operators and provide a lot of the technology and and
- 6:07Speaker 1: frankly just the labor that goes into UH providing the
- 6:11Speaker 1: oil and gas that UH is ultimately consumed in the
- 6:15Speaker 1: petrochemical and refining industries. And so UH they are one
- 6:19Speaker 1: half of that equation in a sense. Okay, And so
- 6:23Speaker 1: what is the state of the oil field services, What's
- 6:26Speaker 1: what's the struggle? Why is this going to be so
- 6:29Speaker 1: important to the outlook for oil I think a couple
- 6:32Speaker 1: of things that have gone on here. As we entered
- 6:35Speaker 1: into late two thousand and fourteen, we had a very
- 6:39Speaker 1: typical oversupply in the industry that we see periodically on
- 6:42Speaker 1: the order of every five to ten years. A couple
- 6:45Speaker 1: of things that were different that happened back in two
- 6:48Speaker 1: thousand and fourteen and continue today. One is UH with
- 6:52Speaker 1: the oversupply, it came at a time when there were
- 6:54Speaker 1: a couple of sluggish economies both throughout Asia and Europe,
- 6:59Speaker 1: so we did and get that normal response to lower
- 7:02Speaker 1: fuel prices that come with an oversupply situation. The second
- 7:07Speaker 1: that's more interesting and more specific to oil field services
- 7:11Speaker 1: is this promise of unconventionals here in North America, and
- 7:16Speaker 1: we're beginning to see evidence of another regions of the
- 7:19Speaker 1: world has begun to take full effect. And with that,
- 7:24Speaker 1: the oil field service companies have been at the forefront
- 7:26Speaker 1: really of defining UH that promise through the technology and
- 7:32Speaker 1: through the capital investments that they've made on their half
- 7:35Speaker 1: UH that are really complementary to a lot of the
- 7:38Speaker 1: funds that the operators were pushing into the industry. UH.
- 7:42Speaker 1: And I'll say, for instance, if we look just at
- 7:45Speaker 1: the permium base in here out in West Texas and
- 7:47Speaker 1: New Mexico. Uh, compared to two years ago, well, activity
- 7:52Speaker 1: is determined by oil field services companies is down almost
- 7:56Speaker 1: seventy yet production is almost flat. It's it's roughly percent down.
- 8:01Speaker 1: And a lot of that, uh efficiency or productivity growth
- 8:05Speaker 1: has really been enabled through advancements at the oil field
- 8:09Speaker 1: service companies have been able to create through R and
- 8:12Speaker 1: D programs and through efficiency programs that really the operators
- 8:17Speaker 1: are standing to benefit from. So, in other words, people
- 8:20Speaker 1: have been kind of worried about the energy market being
- 8:25Speaker 1: you know, somebody layoffs under maintain ascids, that the oil
- 8:29Speaker 1: field services be this big bottleneck as demand for crude
- 8:31Speaker 1: begins to pick up and that could cause prices to
- 8:34Speaker 1: your rise. You're kind of letting us know maybe not,
- 8:37Speaker 1: maybe probably not. Uh. What about Also though the OPEC meeting,
- 8:45Speaker 1: you know, next month, informal talks for all these big
- 8:48Speaker 1: global suppliers are going to be taking place. How's that
- 8:50Speaker 1: going to enter into what's the key question to the
- 8:53Speaker 1: price of oil? Ahead of that? I think when I
- 8:56Speaker 1: think about what OPEC is able to do, certainly the
- 8:59Speaker 1: decisions that come out of those meetings have the potential
- 9:02Speaker 1: to create an uptick in the market. Uh maybe through
- 9:06Speaker 1: just the shifting of uh kind of the depression that's
- 9:10Speaker 1: taken place in the market. I think a lot of
- 9:12Speaker 1: people have, you know, thought a year ago this market
- 9:14Speaker 1: would already have begun its recovery, and here we are
- 9:16Speaker 1: a year later, effectively below or or at where we
- 9:20Speaker 1: were this time last summer. Um. But frankly, any decision
- 9:24Speaker 1: that's made by OPEC and in some of the other
- 9:27Speaker 1: large producing companies, I have a feeling will be more
- 9:30Speaker 1: temporary in nature and really delay the inevitable. Uh. When
- 9:34Speaker 1: I look at the numbers and and the reserve potentials. Uh,
- 9:39Speaker 1: you know, the the unconventional base that's here in North
- 9:42Speaker 1: America and other regions around the world has the potential
- 9:46Speaker 1: to really disrupt OPEC and other large producing nations ability
- 9:50Speaker 1: to really regulate and control the market. Maybe they can
- 9:53Speaker 1: do it in the next couple of years, but I
- 9:56Speaker 1: think they're reaching the end of their rope in terms
- 9:58Speaker 1: of overall demand and what percentage they control of that.
- 10:02Speaker 1: Where's the price of oil going next? Are you suggesting
- 10:04Speaker 1: maybe it's going down because there's not going to be
- 10:08Speaker 1: this bottleneck or where do you see what we're all
- 10:10Speaker 1: going from here? I think there'll be some short term
- 10:12Speaker 1: volatility of it, depending on what happens in next month's meetings,
- 10:16Speaker 1: But when I look at the fundamentals, it supports a
- 10:19Speaker 1: more moderate growth position UH in terms of pricing over
- 10:22Speaker 1: the next several years, and so we will get back
- 10:25Speaker 1: to those seventy and eighty dollar pricing levels, but that
- 10:29Speaker 1: will come partly through inflation and partly through increase demand
- 10:33Speaker 1: over an extended period of time. Sean Heyra, thank you
- 10:36Speaker 1: so very much for joining us principle for oil and
- 10:39Speaker 1: gas at a consulting company A T. Kearney in Houston, Texas.
- 10:44Speaker 1: So up next, we are going to be taking a
- 10:46Speaker 1: look at a couple of very big stories. In particular Apple,
- 10:50Speaker 1: it may be facing billions of euros in tax arreers
- 10:53Speaker 1: according to an EV decision pending that we don't know
- 10:56Speaker 1: for sure yet. This is Bloomberg Caesar's entertainment. Can it
- 11:03Speaker 1: remove one more log jam ahead of the road to
- 11:06Speaker 1: getting out of bankruptcy? Another big story today coming up
- 11:10Speaker 1: on taking stock Bloomberg Radio
