LONDON—Oil prices, which earlier Thursday broke through a key psychological level of $50 a barrel, are likely to continue recovering into next year as supplies tighten, but that recovery is still fragile and the path ahead is rocky, the chief executive of Premier Oil PLC said.

“We’re in a little bit of an upswing at the moment and everybody’s got a smile on their face because we might be at $50 a barrel. But two weeks ago we were at $40 and falling. It’s not a very helpful backdrop to plan a long-term business,” Tony Durrant said in a telephone interview.

The oil and gas sector has been rocked by the rout in oil prices that have more than halved from a mid-2014 high of around $115 a barrel to a low of $27 in January. Oil prices have climbed around 15% this month largely on talks of a potential output freeze among major producers.

The length of the downturn has forced oil companies to slash around $1 trillion in spending on new oil and natural gas output from the shale fields of Texas to the deposits in the North Sea, according to energy consultancy Wood Mackenzie—a factor that is expected to lead to a big drop in oil supplies and higher prices, executives and analysts say.

That drop in investment is still being played out across the industry as companies continue to slash investment in new and current operations, said Mr. Durrant of Premier, one of the U.K.’s largest independent oil companies with operations from the U.K. North Sea to the Falkland Islands.


“Every day of every week I’m talking to our joint venture partners around the world and I hear people still canceling projects and discretionary spend today. Inevitably it will have an effect on supply,” he said. “I believe we will have a much tighter market looking forward into 2017,” he added.

Earlier in the week, Robin Watson, the CEO of oil services company Wood Group PLC, said the end of low oil prices could be in sight.

“It certainly feels like we’re around the bottom,” he said. “We were quite encouraged with where the oil price was in the second quarter, though it did then reduce over the course of July, so confidence remains fragile.”

Saudi Arabia Increases Crude Exports
Country focused on market share rather than cutting output to tackle supply glut

Top oil exporter Saudi Arabia increased its crude exports in June as it pumped at near-record-high levels while burning less petroleum for electricity than the same month last year, official data released on Thursday showed.

Crude exports in June rose to 7.456 million barrels a day, the highest for the month of June since 2012, compared with 7.295 million barrels in May, according to figures provided by the kingdom to the Joint Organisations Data Initiative.

The country’s new energy minister, Khalid al-Falih, pledged in June that Riyadh had no intention of flooding the market but, since then, its production has increased at a rate faster than it needs to meet domestic demand in the summer months.

Saudi Arabia produced 10.550 million barrels in June, up from 10.270 million barrels a day in May, JODI data shows.

It told the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries that it boosted its oil output to a record high of 10.67 million barrels a day in July, in a sign that it remains focused on market share rather than cutting output to tackle the current supply glut.


Mr. Falih said in a statement last week that the record high output was in part to meet higher demand from the kingdom’s customers.

“Despite the bearish sentiment engulfing the market, we still see strong demand for our crude in most parts of the world, especially as supply outside OPEC has been declining fast, supply outages increasing, and global demand still showing signs of strength,” he said.

JODI data appeared to show that Saudi Arabia has made some progress in reducing its reliance on crude oil for electricity, allowing it to send more oil abroad as the kingdom competes to keep a healthy share of the global market.

The kingdom burned 704,000 barrels a day in June for electricity, up from 660,000 barrels a day a month earlier, but almost 200,000 barrels a day less than the same period a year ago as it brought more natural gas production on stream.

Domestic refineries processed 2.381 million barrels a day in June, up from 2.379 million in May, while exports of refined oil products rose to 1.371 million barrels a day versus 1.361 million barrels during the same period.

The kingdom has been using more crude in its domestic refineries as part of its drive to diversify its economy and increase its share of the global crude and petroleum products markets.

The state-oil giant Saudi Aramco also plans to increase its refining capacity to between 8 million to 10 million barrels a day, from its current capacity of about 5.4 million barrels a day. The expansion is part of Aramco’s plan to be the world’s leading energy-chemicals company by 2020 and represents the future of its fossil-fuels business.

The Gulf state’s domestic crude inventories reached 289.445 million barrels in June from 289.175 million in May, according to JODI.

Dudley de Fed, optimista sobre empleo y repunte de puestos de trabajo con salarios medios en EEUU

NUEVA YORK (Reuters) - El reciente crecimiento con fuerza del empleo y el esperado regreso de puestos de trabajo de ingresos medios son dos signos positivos para el mercado laboral estadounidense, dijo el jueves un influyente miembro de la Reserva Federal, reforzando su mensaje positivo sobre la economía general del país.

El presidente de la Fed de Nueva York, William Dudley, dijo que los dos últimos meses de crecimiento del empleo "ayudaron a aliviar las preocupaciones que surgieron previamente este año sobre que la expansión laboral estaba comenzando a estancarse. De hecho, estos reportes refuerzan mi perspectiva de que las condiciones del mercado laboral siguen mejorando".

"Por primera vez en bastante tiempo, los avances en empleos de ingresos medios superaron a la expansión de puestos de altos y bajos ingresos a nivel nacional", señaló Dudley en declaraciones preparadas para una conferencia de prensa.

"Creo que este es un desarrollo importante de la economía porque, en caso de continuar, crearía más oportunidades para los trabajadores y las familias que han estado complicadas hasta ahora", agregó el miembro con voto permanente en decisiones de política monetaria del banco central y aliado cercano de la presidenta de la Fed, Janet Yellen.

Dudley, quien manifestó esta semana que era posible un aumento de los tipos de interés por parte de la Fed en septiembre, no hizo mención a las tasas en sus declaraciones del jueves.
