Kevin MacCurdy discusses factors supporting oil prices amidst geopolitical events in the Middle East, providing analysis through the Midland Reporter-Telegram.

“We think prices could be between $80 and $100 for the next year and that’s backed by the fact there’s not as much supply growth in recent years as we saw in the last 10 years,” he said in a telephone interview. “Those are fundamentally bullish for oil.”

Add in supply concerns and geopolitical risks, and MacCurdy said oil and gas producers can expect volatile pricing for a while.
