Oil price plummets to after signs that oil nations may increase supply

Oil price plummets to after signs that oil nations may increase supply Oil prices took a downward turn today with the Brent crude plunging to $75 per barrel after signs of an increase in supply of oil from the US, Saudi Arabia and Russia.

Over the last month, oil has several times reached prices not seen since November 14 and peaked at $80 per barrel due to a volatile supply dip caused by geopolitical factors, but is now decreasing as the market is starting to stabilise.

Top oil producer Saudi Arabia, which is a member of the Organisation for Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec), and Russia said on Friday that they were planning to raise oil supply by 1m barrels per day.

The influx of oil could potentially begin to even out the market and address the record-high demand that has been growing over the last month.

*Read more*: Venezuela sanctions and high oil demand push prices back up to $80

ANZ Bank said today: “Crude oil prices collapsed … after reports emerged that Saudi Arabia and Russia had agreed to increase crude oil production in the second-half of the year to make up for losses elsewhere under the production agreement.”

After the US announced its intention to re-impose sanctions on Iran following its withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, 2m barrels of Iranian oil went off the already tight market, pushing the price towards the $80 mark.

Opec, which announced in 2017 that it would withhold oil to push up prices, did not at the time of the sanctions fill the supply gap left by the missing Iranian barrels.

The Brent oil price fell by 1.4 per cent and was as of 2.11pm at $75.39 while the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) price was down to $66.75 which is a decrease of almost 1.7 per cent.

According to Opec, Saudi Arabia has 22 per cent of the worlds petroleum reserves and is the world's largest exporter as the oil and gas industry makes up 50 per cent of the country's gross domestic product.

The US oil production has grown by more than 27 per cent in the last two years to around 10.73m barrels per day which brings its production closer to the 11m barrels per day supplied by Russia.

KEMP, Texas, May 28, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Larson Electronics, a Texas-based business with expertise in modern lighting systems and temporary power distribution products, is offering an energy-efficient solar LED light tower for rental in remote locations, such as emergency operations, security checkpoints, construction, concerts and military camp sites. The solar LED light mast is equipped with four, 150-watt LED lamps, supported by a 10.7 kW water-cooled diesel generator, eight, 300-watt solar panels and ten, 105aH AGM batteries.The RNT-SPLT-2.4K-LM30-FM-20X105AH-4X30L-10KW-CPR is an effective solution for sustainable illumination in locations without direct access to a local grid. The aluminum light mast with a steel canopy can be elevated from 8 feet up to 29.5 feet. Equipped with six stages, the tower is adjustable (360 degrees) and provides resistance from 40-mph winds. A total of eight, 300-watt solar panels can be used to harvest sunlight, while storing power in ten, 105aH AGM batteries (1,200aH total/600aH usable). An integrated compass offers guidance, when positioning the solar panels for maximum exposure to sunlight. Charge time for the 24V DC system is 9.5 hours, with a runtime of 30 hours and an expected lifespan of 5-7 years. Power storage management is facilitated by a 48V DC Morningstar TS-MPPT-600V controller.

For high-intensity illumination the RNT-SPLT-2.4K-LM30-FM-20X105AH-4X30L-10KW-CPR features four, 150-watt LED lamps. During use, the luminaries provide 13,000 lumens of white light with a color temperature rating of 5,000K in a flood beam configuration. The LED lights are constructed of die-cast aluminum for durability in outdoor environments. A timer allows operators to automate lighting functions.

Backup power is provided by a four-stroke three-cylinder, water-cooled Stamford PI044E diesel generator with a rated capacity of 10.7 kW (11.8 kW standby). Voltage compatibility includes 120/240V single phase 60 Hz. The fuel tank capacity of the generator is 8 hours. Operators can access a waterproof job box for storing equipment during transportation. Internal cooling fans keep the job box cool to prevent overheat for stored electronics.

The entire solar LED light tower is skid mounted and secured on a trailer base. Deployment may be completed on the ground without the single-axle trailer. The trailer lights are US DOT compliant and four 1,000-lb outriggers offer support on rugged or uneven terrain. For grid configurations, multiple solar LED light towers can be connected simultaneously.
