Energy Information Administration (EIA) predicts a steady rise in oil prices over the coming decade despite the current pandemic. By 2025, Brent crude is expected to reach $79 level and then $98 by 2030. An astonishing forecast by EIA suggests oil prices to reach $200 for Brent in 2050 due to cuts in production and competing energy sources. As a comparison, 2008 saw a record price of $133 before dropping to $40 in December that year and climbing back to $123 in 2011. Expectation is that after a historic fall in oil prices in 2020, we shall see an even bigger spike in the coming decades. While oil at $200 seems ridiculous for the economies to sustain, as those prices would be devastating for the average consumer, a strong competition in the energy industry and potential comeback of the developed economies after the pandemic would create a surge in oil prices.
