OIL PRICE VOLATILITY
Oil and gas prices have historically experienced significant volatility. While analysts and market observers attempt to forecast future trends, the reality is that commodity pricing remains highly unpredictable.
As illustrated in the chart below, oil prices over the past decade have fluctuated dramatically—ranging from historic lows below $30 per barrel to peaks above $120. These swings are often driven by global events such as supply shocks, economic slowdowns, geopolitical instability, and technological advancements in extraction and recovery.
This level of uncertainty can make it challenging for private interest owners to manage cash flow and risk exposure. For many, the unpredictability of future income may outweigh the benefits of long-term ownership. In such cases, a lump-sum payout can offer clarity, stability, and financial flexibility.
