Core Viewpoint - The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has revised its forecast, indicating that U.S. crude oil production will begin to decline starting in 2026, earlier than previously expected due to global oil production increases [2][4]. Group 1: Production Forecast - The EIA predicts that U.S. crude oil production will reach a record high of 13.57 million barrels per day by December 2025, earlier than the previously anticipated peak in April 2026 [4]. - The decline in production is largely attributed to factors related to oil prices, including the economic downturn caused by high tariff policies from the Trump administration and the shift of OPEC+ to increase production instead of cutting capacity [4]. Group 2: Price Projections - Starting in the fall of 2025, the EIA forecasts that the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil futures will fall below $60 per barrel [5]. - The Dallas Federal Reserve's survey indicates that new development costs for U.S. oil require prices around $65 per barrel to be profitable, which has led to a stagnation in new developments [5].
