Key quotes

We see oil going to $100 within two years.

The near term, clearly, it's very tough.

Oil prices should sit somewhere between $35 and $40 by the end of the year.

Two to three-year view, we see a huge supply response, a lot of oil coming off the market, and we are very bullish on the long term viewpoint.

Expect as we go to the second half of this year, as we see demand bottom, and we see the OPEC cuts coming into play and potentially deeper cuts.
