AI likely to weigh on oil prices over the next decade, Goldman says

Goldman Sachs forecasts that artificial intelligence will negatively affect oil prices in the coming decade. The firm suggests that AI could enhance supply by lowering costs through improved logistics and increasing recoverable resources. This shift may lead to a decrease in income for oil producers, particularly those in OPEC+.

The report indicates that AI could reduce costs by approximately $5 per barrel, assuming a 25% productivity gain from early adopters. While there may be a slight increase in oil demand due to AI, the overall impact is expected to be a net negative on prices. Goldman Sachs estimates that AI could cut costs for shale wells by 30% and boost oil reserves significantly.
