• Downward price pressure will come from other producers
• If we see the prices go up as a result of any push from the producers ... we will see more oil coming to the market, not just from the U.S.; we will also see Brazilian and Canadian oil coming to the market

The IEA estimates that global oil demand will grow by 1.4 million bpd this year.
