$78.03.
Here's the oilprice headline today:
.... Barclay's is lifting its average Brent price forecast by $25 / bbl.
Talk about click bait.
No time frame in the headline.
From the headline, I was expecting $95 oil by the end of the year (LOL).
So, what's the story?
Oil prices will be much higher over the next few years than previously thought, according to a new report from Barclays.
The investment bank significantly raised its pricing forecast for 2020 and 2025 in its annual medium-term oil report. Barclays expects Brent to average $75 per barrel in 2020, up from a previous estimate of $55, while prices may average $80 in 2025, up from $70 previously.
The bank noted that the market is dramatically different than it was at this point last year when it issued its previous medium-term report. U.S. shale drillers are maintaining capital discipline, which could lead to lower than expected production levels. OPEC and Russia have demonstrated resolve and laid the groundwork for long-term market management, which could keep supply off the market for years to come.As usual, the "scary" headline to be followed by a story that wouldn't surprise anyone.

I was searching to see the cost of drilling a vertical well in North Dakota these days -- this is a screenshot of the search --
