2020 has likely challenged the industry unlike any year in its history. A relatively stable growth in liquids demand has indeed been observed over the last 20 years. Even during the financial meltdown in 2008 and 2009, the demand overall was very resilient. In 2020 however, demand is currently expected to be about 10 million barrels of liquids less per day than pre-COVID-19 expectations.
Intra year, this difference is even more extreme as the brunt of this reduction occurred during the widespread lockdown in the second quarter to halt the coronavirus outbreak.
Such a dramatic change to demand created shockwaves into the markets by putting enormous negative pressure on prices. Most notably, the West Texas Intermediary reference price even ended up trading at negative levels as there simply was no ability to store more oil. The market forces therefore led to widespread production shut ins in North America as well as an OPEC agreement to cut production by about 10 million barrels per day.
As such, the oil markets have now rebalanced but with significant available capacity offline. COVID-19 has triggered a big short-term negative revision in oil price expectation while the mid to long term outlook still points to an oil price at least north of $50/bbl based on the assumption that a solution will be found to the current COVID-19 pandemic, pushing global economic activity towards pre-COVID-19 levels. As a consequence of less revenue, the various operators in the world have also slashed their investment outlooks considerably. The combined reduction for 2020 to 2025 in expected global upstream CAPEX is of $690 billion compared to the initial expectation in February 2020 before COVID-19 was declared a pandemic. The reduction is front loaded implying that it is 2020 and 2021 where one should expect to see the biggest changes with almost 30 percent lower spend than pre-COVID-19 expectations.

In a strongly worded letter to the Lt. Col. Edith Nakalema, the head of the Anti-Corruption Unit of State House, Kaluya Andrew, the member of parliament (MP) for Kigulu County South and also a Member of African Parliamentarians Against Corruption (APNAC) wants state agencies like police and State House Anti-corruption Unit to support the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP)'s office expeditiously investigate Sylvia Ntambi Muwebwa, chairperson Equal Opportunities Commission ((EOC) and continued abuse of the court processes.
EOC's Ntambi is facing charges of conspiracy to defraud the government of Uganda and neglect of duty leading to gross mismanagement of commission funds in the Anti-Corruption Court. She was summoned to appear before Her Worship Pamela Ocaya Lamunu, the Chief Magistrate, butt keeps dodging court giving peculiar excuses.
According to Kaluya's letter written on 19th October 2020, on 22nd September 2020, Ntambi sent a lawyer from Kagwa & Kagwa Advocates claiming she was out of Kampala and requested to appear on 7th October 2020 to which the chief magistrate granted.
But still, she was a no show on 7th October 2020, instead, through her new lawyer, MacDusman Kabega, Ntambi tendered documents before the court claiming that she was admitted in Medik Hospital in Kawempe.
"Ntambi deceived court that she was suffering from chronic hypertension and that her condition required a major operation at Medik Hospital in Kawempe," Kaluya notes in the letter to Nakalema.
It was however revealed in the media that Ntambi had never been admitted or scheduled for an operation at Medik Hospital. Days earlier, Her worship the chief magistrate had directed MacDusman Kabega to produce Ntambi in court on 29th October 2020 to take a plea or else be arrested forthwith.
"It has been widely observed that Ntambi Sylvia openly abused and insulted the courts of law. In fact, the chief magistrate tasked the DPP to investigate whether Ntambi was sick as alleged," Kaluya said.
"We propose that concerned state agencies like police and state House Anti-corruption unit should support the DPP's office and expeditiously investigate this matter to enable the Chief Magistrate to make an informed decision. The video clip captured by investigative journalists at Medik Hospital in Kawempe gives a clue,"
"Consequently, the Directors of Medik Hospital must exhibit professionalism by openly telling Ugandans how the embattled chairperson of EOC acquired documents purportedly issued by the health facility. This needs to be urgently investigated and findings submitted to the court," Kaluya concluded in the letter which he shared with different relevant agencies.
