1) This is a crazy op-ed. It is simplistic, short sighted &
just wrong.

#OOTT 2) "Gas is becoming a buyer’s market"

Eh no.
TTF: $45/mmbtu & JKM: 34/mmbtu. So gas is certainly not a buyer's market right now nor in the immediate future.

Europe must push on gas-to #oil: any liquid will do once its cheaper than $27/mmbtu!

1/Here is why you [the market] and the @IEA have got it wrong on #IMO2020.
This is what a 'little disruption' may entail....
#OOTT @IEA 2/ #IMO2020 crunch time for #oil product balances coming in Dec/Jan not Apr20 (as per IEA). No @IMOHQ derogations/no delays. Market is telling us so as prompt HSFO cracks collapse.

1/#IMO2020 is the most significant change to the global refining complex in my lifetime (..however I'm a millennial..sort of) #OOTT 2/#IMO2020 is all about getting rid of ~3.0mln bbls/d of #oil demand and creating ~3.0mln bbls/d of new supply #OOTT
