Dr. Nasser Saidi was interviewed on Bloomberg Radio on the 10th of Mar 2020: he spoke extensively about the ongoing oil price war, relations between Saudi Arabia and Russia and the role of shale oil in this ongoing saga.
The Russians were worried about the growing proportion of U.S. shale oil in the global market says Nasser Saidi, president and founder of Nasser Saidi and Associates, and the argument with the Saudis was about how to contain it. Saidi tells Daybreak Europe’s Caroline Hepker and Roger Hearing some U.S. producers will now be flushed out, but the more efficient ones could still be competitive at a price of $35-40 a barrel.
