If I produce 10 and import 9.5  I am producing more than I import.

The idea that we are replacing Saudi oil with shale oil is fantasy.

We still need to look at the impact of that production on total cost in real dollars, and loss of comparative leverage of non-Western when they are one oil producer among many.

It's very possible in my mind that Putins decision to move into  Ukraine and the combat velocity of Syria are both based in part on the expiration date of the Russian and Saudi petroweapons.

We have never been dependent on them for oil. We have had enough to supply our own country for a long time they just wont let us have it. They probably never will let us have it or if they do it will still be the same price.

Doesn't anyone find this ironic.
Shouldn't the shipping trucks be owned by the manufacture?  
Thereby, fuel prices for those trucks should be substantially cheaper than what joe-blow pays.

Yep. China just blew away American car sales last year. There is world wide competition for oil. Oil is now at about $104 a barrel. The one year forecast is $120.  What oil we get domestically that is at any surplus will be exported. The pipeline won't do shit to lower prices that any of us will notice.

You are paying so much for diesel because of the federal mandate for ULSD.  Refineries had to be reworked to take out the sulfur.  Then we found out that once you remove the sulfur,  it was hard on the engines,  so we went back and added lubricity agents and injection systems to put a additive back in the sulfur.  Clean air can be costly.

Issue with Europe and Ukraine is mostly natural gas.  Right now the natural gas market in the US is so saturated that oil producers are considering pumping it back into the ground in the Eagleford Shale.



The gas the wells are producing is wet gas - full of condensates.  As pressure in the field goes down, the condensates are starting to become liquid and impeding the flow of oil.  The are testing a process of drying the produced gas, and then pumping the dry gas back into the field to maintain field pressure. (Of course they will be selling the condensates).  They are also testing doing the same with liquid co2 to maintain field pressure as a for of secondary oil extraction - but I think dry natural gas is more cost effective.

If you had researched where the money was coming from for all the anti-fracking horseshit over the past ten + years...it would lead you right to the Royal Bank of Saudi Arabia. Those guys aren't stupid. They know fracking will allow us energy independence via producing more hydrocarbons which are traded on the world market. Think 'market share'.
 



all that is true, and some estimates puts our shale oil reserves at 600 trillion barrels.

The problem is that it is still 10 times more exoensive to produce the shale oil that it is to pump it from the shallow wells of Saudi.

Now ad d to that the difficulty in producing daily volumes needed by fracking. It takes much more that just sinking more shallow wells to increase daily volume.

The people that compare our reserves to Saudi reserves are comparing apples to oranges.

Yep. China just blew away American car sales last year. There is world wide competition for oil. Oil is now at about $104 a barrel. The one year forecast is $120.  What oil we get domestically that is at any surplus will be exported. The pipeline won't do shit to lower prices that any of us will notice. Between WORLD demand and the inflation of the dollar through QE, we are getting fucking taxed at a criminal rate

Oil, oil everywhere.  Yet I am paying $3.89 a gallon for gas.  Thank you Barack Fucking Hussein Obama for once again kicking the Keystone pipeline decision until after another election you mongrel.

Gas was $1.89 a gallon a week before that POS was elected.  I hope he gets aggressive cancer that eats his colon out.

In other news, the price of beef is skyrocketing as the BLM tries to put America's cattle ranchers out of business.


So you hate the BLM for being land grabbers but support taking people's land to build a pipeline?

And what evidence do you have that would support your theory that the Keystone pipeline would have any impact on gas prices whatsoever?

We do NOT produce a surplus of oil.

I posted the souces above.

We produce 9.8 million barrels per day.
We consume 18.5 million barrels per day.

The rest is a net import.

There is no surplus oil production in the US.
