Shares of ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP), inclined 0.52% to $65.76, during its last trading session.
ConocoPhillips, said it’s capable of supplying U.S. oil to the global market and reiterated a call to end the nation’s ban on crude exports, according to Bloomberg.
The U.S. shale boom has resulted in a glut of light-sweet crude, as production outpaces demand from refineries, Ryan Lance, chief executive officer of the Houston-based company, said in Kuala Lumpur on Monday. Removing the ban on overseas sales of U.S. oil would benefit consumers because it would reduce domestic in addition to overseas gasoline prices, he said at a conference in the Malaysian capital.
A potential easing of the restriction would pit U.S. explorers such as Conoco against the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, which presently dominates supply to markets such as Asia and Europe. Saudi Arabia is leading OPEC in a policy of maintaining output to defend market share and force shale producers to curb the highest American output in more than three decades, Bloomberg Reports.
ConocoPhillips explores for, produces, transports, and markets crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, liquefied natural gas, and natural gas liquids worldwide. Its portfolio comprises shale and oil sands assets; lower-risk legacy assets in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia; various international developments; and exploration prospects.
