Natural Gas, Oil to Stay Structurally Higher: Energy Aspects’ Sen

The transcript discusses the current energy market dynamics, focusing on supply constraints due to reduced Russian volumes and high Chinese demand. It highlights the impact of energy transition policies on gas and oil prices, with gas becoming a baseload for power generation. The discussion covers the implications of rising oil prices, OPEC's strategies, and the potential demand destruction in non-OECD countries. The role of Russia and the Nord Stream 2 pipeline in the global energy market is also examined.

What is one of the main reasons for the current constraints in the energy market?

• Lack of Russian energy volumes

• Surplus of oil supply

• Increased coal production

• Decrease in renewable energy sources

How does the transition to cleaner energy sources affect gas prices?

• It stabilizes gas prices

• It increases gas prices

• It has no effect on gas prices

• It decreases gas prices

What is a potential consequence of high energy prices on the economy?

• Boost in industrial activity

• Increase in consumer spending

• Choking off economic growth

• Decrease in energy production

What is OPEC's strategy in response to rising oil prices?

• Decrease production to stabilize prices

• Increase production by 1 million barrels per day

• Maintain current production levels

• Gradually increase production by 400,000 barrels per day

What might Russia do after Nord Stream 2 is operational?

• Increase its domestic energy consumption

• Decrease its energy exports

• Pump more energy into the market

• Stop energy production entirely
