Holiday Season, 2025 oil surge?, Sable Offshore acquires Exxon Santa Ynez Units, POPCO, and the pipeline to Las Flores Canyon


Dear Colleagues,

As we look forward to the upcoming holiday season, I hope that everyone is able to take some time off to relax, be thankful, and spend time with loved ones.

With recent developments in the political climate, there are sure to be some interesting news regarding our industry.

Though some expect the US Oil production to surge under the upcoming Trump Administration, Standard Chartered Bank expects that to not likely be the case. An all-time high, U.S. crude oil supply was 13.401 million barrels per day in August 2024, but there are many factors that could limit the continued growth and potential surge within Trump’s term. This includes the duration from licensing to production of new acreage, the hyperbolic decline of shale well production, and indirect impacts of possible tariffs on trade with high demand countries. Considering these limitations Standard Chartered expects growth to continue to slow over the next few years.
