bei freerealtimt.com Danach wird kaum mehr Öl produziert.Im September sahen die Daten noch besser aus:OPEC Members Closer to Crude Finish Line -- 10:00 AM EST
by Rick Olivere, CFA
Recently released crude oil production estimates by Bloomberg for October indicate production of the 10 participating members of OPEC increased 300,000 barrels per day (b/d) to 26.49m b/d from September. Iraq, which is not participating in this agreement and is subject to the United Nations oil for food program, increased production to 3.08m b/d from 2.87m b/d in September. We continue to believe that limited excess capacity, as shown in the table below, and the level of inventories of crude oil suggest that oil prices are vulnerable to both production disruptions and to winter-like temperatures. In our opinion, this is a bullish backdrop for energy and energy service shares.

The following table suggests the modest amounts of excess production capacity outside of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. This table shows the estimated production for September and October 2000, and the sustainable production capacity estimates from the International Energy Agency (IEA) September Oil Market report. Since Kuwait has indicated its inability to increase production, the 200,000 b/d excess capacity estimate of IEA is suspect.
Note also that political unrest in Nigeria has resulted in production below both the September target (2.15m b/d) and the Oct. 31 target (2.198m b/d). It also highlights the tightness of the current balance of the consumption and production of crude oil that is likely to serve as another catalyst for an extended drilling cycle.
