Oil prices saw a historic drop in the first quarter of 2020, and it's only going to get worse.

West Texas Intermediate crude oil, the U.S. benchmark, plunged 67 percent over the past three months to settle at $20.48. Brent crude, the international benchmark, has tumbled 65 percent to $22.71 so far. Both drops are the biggest quarterly declines on record.

“We've got all the ingredients for a price crash,” Stephen Schork, founder and editor of the daily oil subscription newsletter The Schork Report, told FOX Business, adding that oil “could lose another 50 percent” and possibly fall below zero.

U.S. gasoline demand has tumbled 40 percent, or 3.5 million barrels per day, while worldwide jet fuel demand has fallen by 60 percent, or 1 million barrels, according to estimates from Andrew Lipow, president of the Houston-based consulting firm Lipow Oil Associates.

He estimates total “demand destruction is now over 15 million barrels a day.” Others, Lipow says, are predicting double that in April.

The supply glut, which was a problem even before the pandemic, has been exacerbated by OPEC and non-OPEC producers pumping out an additional 3 million to 4 million barrels per day amid Russia's struggle with the Saudis.

Moscow earlier this month refused to join OPEC in deepening production cuts after the U.S. placed sanctions on its largest oil trading company, spurring Saudi Arabia to boost its output to avoid losing market share.

“Russia's move against Saudi Arabia, or decision not to cut, is really a decision based on the fact that they were going to lose market share to the United States,” Schork said.

Since oil prices are still expected to rise over time, all available storage space will be filled with the record output from the U.S., Saudi Arabia and Russia, with owners hoping for a better price later. Read more at FOX Business
