Oil Giants Warn Of Much Higher Prices For The Next 3-5 Years Amid Lack Of Supply

Most of the bull case in oil revolves around government incompetence and ESG investing, both of which are restricting drilling and raising the cost of capital for oil producers, thereby reducing supply.
So, what is the decline in oil prices all about? My guess is that it’s a reflection of the higher odds of a recession and the resulting demand destruction.
Does it return to an equilibrium level of US$80 (RM353) a barrel, or does it rocket to US$200, like the macro doom crowd thinks?
1. Global recession?
2. North American production picking up pace
3. Continued strength of the U.S. dollar
Citigroup reduced its forecast by about a third to 2.4 million-2.5 million barrels a day, similar to the US Energy Information Administration and the International Energy Agency.
Earlier this week, Citigroup had warned that oil prices could collapse to $65 a barrel by the end of this year and slump to $45 by the end-2023 if a demand-crippling recession hits.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. analysts said global prices could reach a “stratospheric” $380 a barrel if US and European penalties prompt Russia to inflict retaliatory crude-output cuts.
Oil peaked at $122 a barrel on June 8.
The COT report shows massive numbers of folks making bets against oil.
The contrarian bet is for oil prices to continue higher. Sure, we saw a big sell-off in recent weeks. But until this bearish sentiment turns around, you shouldn’t expect an oil bust. Instead, higher prices are likely.
An economic slowdown—not to mention a recession—should be very bearish for oil
A Descending Triangle appears to be forming on the daily chart, inherently more bearish than a Symmetrical one
My proposed Symmetrical Triangle's implied target is about $64
