We believe that it is more likely than not that some sort of agreement is to be announced, providing further support to oil prices. The agreement comes at a time when shale oil producers’ retrenchments are severe enough that a rapid price response may now be difficult. However, a sustained oil price of USD45/bbl and above could entice such producers to come back on line. The freeze, should it happen, could put on hold 2.4mbpd of future OPEC production. This agreement is significant enough to be meaningful.
