Meanwhile the continuing adherence by China to its strict “Zero-Covid” plicy has not only caused massive unrest across all of China, but also continues to depress demand for oil and gas supplies. There are some signs that China’s government may reconsider its approach because of the stifling effect it is having across China as well as the worldwide energy supply market.

“Zero-Covid” as a policy was abandoned by most countries, particularly those countries that have proven more successful in controlling the pandemic. A change in policy and the pursuance of a more “vaccine delivery” policy would not only improve China’s control over its domestic Covid problem, and the obvious political unrest it is causing within the country, but would also help to stimulate the drilling and production market across the world.
