We are at the point where Brent prices were at the levels of 2019. It's clear that this is not enough or acceptable. We have a market that is barely an oligopoly -- effectively functioning as a monopoly. We (everyone outside of OPEC (and Russia) need to place more resources on alternatives. The funny thing is the only country selling their oil at a steep discount is Russia (to China). I am curious if this move is going to spawn again OPEC states leaving the monopolistic group so they can sell more -- eg Ecuador.
