Risks to the Outlook
Iran and the Rest of OPEC
The above analysis rests upon the premise that OPEC (led by Saudi Arabia) will
largely keep production flat with current levels. In summary, outside of a
change in policy by Saudi. we see two primary risks to our near-term forecast:
Iran (a potential reduction in the call on US growth by -450 Mb/d) and Iraq
(risks likely weighted toward a reduction in current Iraq production levels).
Longer-term growth in sustainable productive capacity from Iraq and the UAE
pose the greatest risks to an increased need for US onshore crude during the
tail-end of our forecast period.
Iran Holding the fate of US growth.
For all of the uncertainty on both sides of the Iranian debate, the stakes are
potentially enormous for US producers. An increase of even 400 Mb/d by the
middle of 2016 from Iran would effectively cancel out any call on US growth in
2016 (pushing it to 2017). and with it. eliminating the need for a crude price
high enough to incentivize US growth.
Iran remains the main wildcard as it relates to the global 2H15/2016 oil supply
picture. The recently-struck (April 2) framework agreement between Iran and
the P5+1 countries was the initial key milestone before any potential final deal
on Iran's nuclear program. While recent rhetoric among Iranian hardliners
(Khomeini has plenty to say) and select US participants/GOP congressional
members remains polarizing (parties remain wide on details such as the pace
of the removal of sanctions. etc) causing some doubt, the recent letter of
strong support shown by US House Democrats (150 on paper/145 voting
members, just enough to sustain a presidential veto of a Congress disapproval
of any final deal) have certainly increased the odds of reaching a final deal by
June 30 (deadline could be moved). While the risk of a final agreement (and
the resultant addition of Iranian crude barrels into the global market) is real, the
key question remains
