The author predicts oil prices will fall to around $60 per barrel by 2027 after the Middle East conflict resolves, though the path there will be volatile.

While the company boasts record Permian and Guyana production, a $20 billion buyback program, 43 years of dividend growth, and a fortress balance sheet (0.16 debt-to-equity), Q1 2026 earnings hit a 5-year low due to Middle East conflicts disrupting ~15% of output.
