“There is No Oil Glut,” According to ConocoPhillips CEO Ryan Lance

October 16, 2025

In this episode of Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup, Michael Tanner breaks down contrasting oil market outlooks from ConocoPhillips CEO Ryan Lance, who challenges oversupply fears and projects a $70–$75 rebound, and Occidental CEO Vicki Hollub, who foresees a tighter $58–$62 range through 2026. Hollub also highlights natural gas growth driven by AI-powered data center demand. Saudi Aramco CEO Amin Nasser reinforces this, asserting fossil fuels—not renewables—will fuel the AI revolution. Meanwhile, JPMorgan announces a $10B equity push into U.S. strategic industries, including energy resilience. Tanner sees volatility persisting amid geopolitical tensions and cooling oil prices, closing with a call to stay tuned for earnings season and investment insight.
