Breaking: Nigeria to earn more as oil price per barrel hits high in 2019
Oil price hit a 2019 high above 69 dollars a barrel on Tuesday, April 2, on the prospect that more sanctions against Iran and further Venezuelan disruptions could deepen an OPEC-led supply cut, and as the market became less worried that demand may reduce.
The United States is considering more sanctions against Iran, whose oil exports have been halved by existing measures, an official said.
A key crude terminal in Venezuela, also under U.S. sanctions, has halted operations again.
Brent crude rose 10 cents to 69.11 dollars a barrel by 0826 GMT, having touched 69.50 dollars, the highest since mid-November. U.S. crude was up 11 cents at 61.70 dollars after rising above 62 dollars for the first time since early November.
Olivier Jakob, analyst at Petromatrix, said: “The supply cuts have been there for a while but Venezuela is not improving. That is taking a lot of oil away from the market.”
Further supply losses from Iran and Venezuela could widen an OPEC-led production cut that took effect in January, designed to prevent a price-sapping rise in inventories.
Supply from the OPEC hit a four-year low in March, a Reuters’ survey found, because top exporter Saudi Arabia cut more than it had agreed to and due to the involuntary declines.
This week’s reports on U.S. supplies are expected to show crude inventories fell, a sign that the OPEC curbs are having the impact producers intended.
Meanwhile, McCozar Blogspot previously reported that President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday, February 2, in Bauchi state, instructed the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to extend oil exploration activities to six basins in the country.
The president gave the instruction at the Barambu town in Alkaleri local government area of the state while flagging off the drilling activities. McCozar Report.
