Oil Prices up After Domestic and International Developments
FinancialBuzz.com News Commentary
NEW YORK, November 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
US oil prices jumped to two-year highs or trading up 1.4 percent to $58.83 per barrel last week after reports regarding the Keystone pipeline outage. The Keystone pipeline connects the Canadian oilfields into and with the United States. According to a CNBC report, on November 16th the pipeline spill reduced the usual 590,000 barrel-per-day flow to U.S. refineries. Again Capital founding partner John Kilduff stated, "Right now the big focus is on the outage on the Keystone pipeline. That's taking longer to get back on line than we all thought… Part of the drawdown in Wednesday's inventory report was due to the outage. It could be out for a couple more weeks," CNBC reported.

In addition, OPEC in corporation with Russia have finished the outline of a deal to extend oil production cuts to the end of next year. An article by Bloomberg indicates that whatever OPEC and Russia agree on, the countries will have an opportunity to review the conditions of the new deal again in mid-2018. OPEC and non-OPEC countries are currently working on several formulas that will help meet some of the Russian demands, which include, "linking the cuts to the supply-demand balance on the global oil market, or the level of fuel inventories in industrialized countries," Bloomberg reports.
Renaissance Oil Corp. (OTCQB: RNSFF) is also listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker symbol 'ROE'. Just earlier today the company announced breaking news that, "the Comisión Nacional de Hidrocarburos (the "CNH") has approved drilling permits for the Chicontepec multi well drilling program on the Amatitlán block in Veracruz, Mexico.

- Each well will be directionally drilled, targeting multiple Chicontepec intervals, to a total depth of 1975 meters;
- Expected drilling time for Amatitlán 1649 is approximately 15 days; and
- The second well in the program, Amatitlán 1708, will be drilled subsequently from the same multi-well location.
"As the first Canadian operated oil well drilled in Mexican history, the Amatitlán 1649 is a historical milestone", stated Craig Steinke, Chief Executive Officer of Renaissance.
