Since we first outlined our oil thesis one year ago, oil inventories have drawn by as much as 650,000 b/d relative to normal – a record rate.  The market deficit continues to get worse, and 2018 should see inventories draw further.  The inventory situation has finally reached the point where price action is expected to be significant.

Meanwhile, energy-related equities have lagged creating a tremendous investment opportunity.  Over the last decade, conventional oil discoveries have lagged behind consumption by 250 bn barrels, and investors seem to think that shale discoveries will fill the gap. We take a contrarian view here, US shales will not be able to make up the shortfall.
