The gap is narrowing as global demand grows slowly,» Moniz said.</strong><br/> «Falih's statement is that balance in supply and demand will probably be reached at the end of this year. That's reasonable, but it could also go into next year.»<br/> Moniz, however, added that when that balance comes, there will still be large supplies due to historically high reserves.<br/> «As prices recover to the $50-60 a barrel level, more drilling rigs will be deployed and more wells will be completed in the US,» he said, «after companies scaled back production as oil prices dived under $40."
