(Reuters) – EOG Resources said on Wednesday that oversupply from Venezuela is driving oil prices down and it would last for several more quarters.
Brent crude futures were down about 0.6% at $60.30 a barrel in the day, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude lost about 1% to $56.53 a barrel.
Prices fell as investors reacted to U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement that the country had reached an agreement to import up to $2 billion worth of Venezuelan crude, a move expected to boost supplies to the world’s largest oil consumer.
The company comments were made at the Goldman Sachs Energy, CleanTech and Utilities Conference in Miami.
