production will grow, but likely at a level under the 1 million-
plus-barrels-per-day rate seen in prior up-cycles.
Elsewhere, global natural gas markets are likely to remain
tight, as the structural shift from coal to gas in power
generation is in the early innings and new capacity for global
liquid natural gas is limited. I believe gas markets are highly
weather-driven, though, so it's harder to predict short-term
pricing trends.
Meanwhile, the outlook for renewable energy developers,
primarily solar and wind, has become more challenged due
to inflation and supply-chain challenges, along with
increased competition and strong capital flows to green
investments. This has pressured returns on new renewable
investments, at least in the near term.
Although traditional oil and gas stocks have performed well
the past year, I do see potential for strong performance in
2022 as well, based on continued growth in demand for oil
and gas, constrained supply, and strong FCF generation that
will mostly be returned to shareholders in the form of
dividends and buybacks.
Furthermore, this improving outlook has expanded beyond
the upstream sector, which benefited the most in 2021, to
include oil & gas services and refining industries, and I
believe that is likely to continue this year and beyond.
Lastly, I will be closely monitoring Russia's buildup of forces
on the boarder of Ukraine. Given Russia's position as the
world's second-largest oil producer and largest natural gas
producer, the risk of supply disruption could result in a
massive increase in the risk premiums of oil and gas prices.
As always, thank you very much for your confidence in my
stewardship of the fund, and in Fidelity's investment
management capabilities. ■

     firms have cut costs during the past several years,
     and, as oilfield activity increases, I believe they stand
     to benefit from increased pricing power and
     improving profit margins.
     "Meanwhile, profit margins for refining companies
     should improve in 2022 as demand for
     transportation fuels, including jet fuel, continues to
     recover. In addition, refining capacity in western
     markets has declined. Wider price differentials
     between higher-quality 'light sweet' and lower-
     quality 'heavy and sour' crude oil should also help
     provide support for the industry as OPEC adds
     lower-quality oil barrels to the market. While
     upstream companies should continue to be
     beneficiaries of strong oil and gas pricing this year,
     the oilfield services and refining industries are
     poised to grow earnings and potentially revise
     earnings upward in 2022 and beyond, in my view."
