Will we get 1.7 million barrels a day in 2016? No. I don't think so and that's one of my worries. If we did get 1.7 million bpd in 2016, then we could easily get to $60, but I don't think we will, can I see a big run next year? No. If we are above $60 by the end of 2016 I will be a little bit surprised.

Stocks of crude and products continue to build and these will weigh upon the market.

We all talk about 'peak supply' and maybe with shale that is becoming a disabused concept. I have begun feeling that... we are coming to peak demand towards 2030, i believe we may not see $100 (a barrel) ever again.

There is bound to be a huge amount of pressure on the Saudis from one or two people at that meeting to look at this policy again, i can not believe they will want to change their strategy at this moment in time, but you can't rule it out totally... I never like to pre-judge an OPEC meeting. You do that at your peril.

Can the market make room for (Iran)? Probably yes, but I'm not sure the market can make room for that and a doubling or tripling of Libyan production, which is my other big worry, the Libyans could easily get back 300,000 or 400,000 bpd. If you have 500,000 from Iran and 400,000 from Libya and you lose 1 million barrels from the Americans, you're back to where you started, which is why I don't see the market moving hugely.

There will be a battle for market share, particularly in Asia and a little bit in the Mediterranean. It will be difficult to place that (Iranian) oil. I think it will depend very much how far U.S. production has gone down by then.

We will probably see one more dip in the second quarter but prices probably won't go below this year's lows.
