Despite the current low oil prices and oversupply, U.S. oil production is forecast to grow through 2050. According to Statista, U.S. oil production will come in around 18.22 quadrillion Btu for 2017. By 2050, experts predict that U.S. oil production will hit 20.53 quadrillion Btu, after hitting a high of 22.04 quadrillion Btu in 2029. In short, experts do not expect the oil glut will deliver a fatal blow to the U.S. oil & gas markets. While energy prices may go through cycles, it appears that the current glut will start to unwind between late 2018 and 2019.
If economists and energy experts are correct with oversupply issues being worked out by 2019, then the current environment could be a great opportunity for oil & gas companies to acquire distressed and producing energy properties while prices are cheap. One such oil & gas company that is taking advantage of the current environment and positioning for the next oil bull run is American Patriot Oil & Gas Limited (OTCQB: ANPOF) (ASX: AOW).
