North America Crude Markets short-term outlook April 2020

US crude producers appeared to be sailing on smooth glass rolling into 2020, with visions of free cashflow and modest production growth.

Suddenly, the entire US L48 crude value chain finds itself in the middle of a storm attempting to hold on for dear life. Battered by plummeting crude prices as a result of collapsing global demand and positive supply shocks simultaneously hitting the market, companies now have one unified goal over the next 18 months: simply stay afloat and weather the storm.
