This is all pure theory.
You can't make money on your oil now at a cost of $80.
People who buy and sell futures not oil are market professionals and have not read a couple of books on futures trading like you.
Quite amusing to read you) The positions were opened in 2014 with an expiry date in 2016-2018.
Back in the era when the barrel was around 140 one airline claimed to have hedged against rising energy prices for years to come. And that he doesn't care how much oil rises.
Did you even know that in the commodities market, hedgers are the largest part of all traders?
I'm not a specialist, office specialists will come running in the afternoon )). I listened to a podcast yesterday, quite an interesting guy, just about oil, top podcast. Please note that KP is not the opposition, so if there are gloomy predictions one should take it seriously. http://www.kp.ru/radio/program/4461/

They hedge not only with futures, but also with options. An option is a right, not an obligation.
If you have oil at $80, and the price fell to $36 and the buyer of your option three years ago refuses to buy the oil at $100, then the value of the option you bought three years ago is a dead giveaway.
Once again, reading two books is not enough to understand derivatives and hedging.
It is not only futures that are hedged, but also options. An option is a right, not an obligation.

Again about options. Someone told me about them a few months ago. To give you a hint they are a small fraction of the volume of all derivatives.
I may have read a couple of books, but you haven't read them at all)
Maybe in this way we are encouraged to move away from hydrocarbon resources and develop clean energy sources. It is clear that by burning hydrocarbons, we are killing our ecosystem. And someone is doing it. Now there are projects to build solar power plants in deserts and production, battery development will be stimulated. We want to believe in such an outcome.
And Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Iran?
What about shale oil?
What about hydrogen-powered cars?
And the fusion reactor?
For Russia, $30 oil is understandable, but for the world - harm or good?
Old joke.)
So here's the plan:
The price of a metal barrel is $30.
The price of a barrel of oil is $35.
We wait for the price to drop below $30.
Buy barrels of oil, dump the oil and trade the barrels!
The old anecdote.)

The best option.
Where should the oil go? Back into the wells?
