Oil
As tension between worker unions and Norwegian oil companies escalate, the Norwegian Oil and Gas Association(NOG) estimates that nearly 330,000 boepd(oil equivalent) of production could be halted. This is a significant advantage, as the natural decline of oil and gas fields is a strong headwind for all the oil majors. Oil was also supported by an escalating workers strike in Norway which has already shut four of Equinor s offshore field and put two more oil fields at risk.
Saudi oil exports usually rise after the hot summer months, when increased use of crude for power generation restricts oil shipments. Saudi seaborne crude exports for last week were seen at 43.5 million bbl (6.2 million bpd) compared to the revised 38.0 million bbl (5.4 million bpd) the week prior. Executive Chairman Harold Hamm acquired 769,235 shares of this crude oil and natural gas company, paying $12.68 per share, for a total amount of $9.75 million. The world’s top oil exporter pumped 8.988 million bpd and exported 6 million bpd in August, the source said.

Overall, Total is by far the most resilient oil major and has proved its superior resilience in the last three downturns, i.e., in 2014-2016, in 2019 and this year.
