Gas prices won’t slow down for ‘over a year,’ oil expert warns - YouTube

Channel: Fox Business

[1]
take a look at oil prices steady to
[3]
start this week after hitting three-week
[5]
highs earlier in the morning over fears
[7]
about
[8]
a tight global supply growth this as the
[11]
biden administration announcing that
[13]
they will resume leasing for new oil and
[17]
gas drilling on federal lands this week
[20]
sort of the first time new fossil fuel
[22]
leases on public land have been offered
[24]
since president biden took office he's
[27]
giving in to a court order essentially
[29]
joining me now lip out oil associates
[30]
president andy lip out andy first what
[33]
do you make of the kind of
[36]
resuming leases
[38]
on federal land by the byte
[40]
administration
[42]
well i think it's a good thing but it's
[45]
really uh not going to affect gasoline
[47]
prices for over a year the biden
[50]
administration is making available
[53]
144 000 acres of land which sounds like
[56]
a lot but the industry really wants five
[59]
times that amount of land to drill on
[62]
and the second thing is is that the
[64]
government is increasing the royalties
[66]
from 12 and a half percent to 18 and
[69]
three-quarters percent basically wanting
[71]
a piece of the action which increases
[74]
the cost of drilling
[76]
andy where do you see uh oil and um
[79]
particularly retail gasoline prices
[82]
going and your reaction to this report i
[84]
believe you in your note this morning
[87]
terrific as always you point out the new
[89]
york times has reported that the that
[91]
europe the european union is considering
[93]
adopting a phased-in ban on the purchase
[97]
of russian oil and natural gas
[101]
yeah if we look forward the european
[103]
union consumes about 4 million barrels a
[106]
day of russian oil
[108]
opec secretary general last week said
[111]
that there was no way that opec plus
[114]
could replace the 7 million barrels a
[116]
day of russian oil if all of that was
[119]
banned worldwide and finally we're
[121]
seeing may 15th is a very important date
[124]
because that's when the european
[126]
commission sanctions kick in that
[128]
prohibit doing
[130]
transactions with rosneft the oil
[134]
producer gas prom the natural gas
[136]
producer transnet the pipeline operator
[140]
sofcom
[142]
the tanker operator
[144]
which all means that it's only permitted
[147]
if it's strictly necessary and with that
[150]
murky definition we're seeing trading
[153]
companies walk away from russian
[155]
business which further exacerbates the
[158]
supply disruption and as a result the
[160]
oil market is going to go up because it
[163]
doesn't see the alternative supplies to
[165]
replace russian oil
[168]
but saudi arabia kuwait and the emirates
[170]
combine
[172]
have and correct me if i'm wrong um i'm
[175]
pulling this from memory from reading
[176]
your your notes every day about 4
[179]
million barrels per day excess
[181]
production capacity and there was a
[182]
report last week that opec plus as a
[185]
whole is pr is pumping this is just oil
[189]
but pumping below
[191]
uh what it says that it's
[193]
it's supposed to pump
[197]
right exactly i mean the opec production
[200]
quota is not being met to the tune of
[203]
that million and a half barrels a day
[205]
the only spare capacity is from the
[207]
three countries that you mentioned and
[209]
they're very reluctant to pump more oil
[212]
right now we have a very rocky
[214]
relationship with saudi arabia and the
[217]
emirates and one of the reasons is that
[219]
the biden administration is negotiating
[222]
with iran over their nuclear agreement
[225]
and of course iran is
[228]
you know
[229]
not uh
[230]
the friends of saudi arabia kuwaiti
[233]
emirates you've got the sunni shiite
[236]
acrimony over there so as a result they
[239]
are unwilling to really help out the
[242]
united states at this juncture
[244]
andy before we go where is retail gas go
[246]
here in the u.s
[249]
well unfortunately i don't have good
[251]
news for the consumer i see it rising
[253]
another 10 to 15 cents a gallon up to
[256]
four dollars and 20 cents on a national
[259]
average
[260]
