Companies expect ME oil production to come back without much issue once SoH is reopened;

Jeremy Meanwell lining up ships could mean it takes 2-3 months for production to normalize. Midstream

646 562 1374 companies described US producer activity as disciplined with mixed commentary on oil

jeremy.meanwell@tdsecurities.com activity; Haynesville production should increase 2H26. US oil demand has been resilient, while

some regions in Asia are seeing 5% demand reduction. VLO noted 3 days to refill product

inventories for every day SoH is closed, while companies expect futures product prices to

converge higher on prompt. Global gas should stay supported through summer with Qatari lng

offline and Europe needing to refill inventory; we continue to expect prices normalize in 2028.

Integrated Oil Company Takeaways

US IOC valuations moved from expensive pre-earnings to more reasonable, with FY27

FCF yields pre-earnings/current/historical 6.3%/6.7%/6.9 using $72 Brent (futures at $80).
