oil and gas supply

The government announced big new energy deals, including an Alaska natural gas pipeline and more oil coming from Venezuela. Investors care because these changes can lower fuel costs and shift profits among energy companies.

What changed

The White House secured a $54 billion international funding deal for the Alaska natural gas pipeline and facilitated a massive surge in Venezuelan oil imports.

Who wins / who loses

Midstream pipeline developers and refiners processing heavy crude benefit from the supply increases, while high-cost domestic producers face headwinds from potential price pressures.

Time horizon

Think in terms of the next few months.
