At the S&P Global's annual CERAWeek energy conference, s ome executives were concerned with the Trump administration's optimistic messaging and said price gyrations and the uncertainty hanging over the conflict make it all but impossible to plan investments. Asia and Europe will face fuel shortages if the war drags on, and oil prices likely will remain high even if the conflict ends as countries restock depleted reserves, they said. " You can't just take 8M-10M bbl/day of oil and 20% or so of the [liquefied natural gas] market off the world stage without having some significant repercussions," ConocoPhillips ( COP ) CEO Ryan Lance told CERAWeek attendees. Conoco ( COP ), which owns a 30% stake in QatarEnergy's Ras Laffan LNG facility—the world's largest—that was closed after suffering substantial damage in an Iranian attack, is " pleading " with the Trump administration for military "protection around the U.S.-owned assets in Qatar and hundreds of millions of dollars of investment," Lance said. The physical supplysupply of oil is much tighter than prices in the futures market suggest, Chevron ( CVX ) CEO Mike Wirth said. "There are very real, physical manifestations of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz that are working their way around the world and through the system that I don't think are fully priced into the futures curves on oil." Trump officials have asked oil companies including Chevron ( CVX ), ConocoPhillips ( COP ), and ExxonMobil ( XOM ) what more they can do to push up Western Hemisphere production of oil and natural gas, and some executives reportedly have said they face several constraints to boosting U.S. outp...
