What if Putin just turns off the gas to Europe and demands payment in gold? That could get interesting. So he's going to cut off his only source of foreign currency? You didn't think that one through, did you? How much natural gas do you think is lying under the coal fields in the ruhr? Germany could be natural gas independent if not for soviet proxy green party. Green parties have a tendency to get benched with a quickness when reality knocks on the door.

Russia turning off gas to Europe is a cunt hair away from a declaration of war, and wouldn't make sense in this context.
If Russia was marching on Kiev and needed to keep Europe docile or something like that, for sure. But now that Ukraine is quiet and the price of oil dropped so much, it wouldn't make sense to just cut the flow of one of their sources of hard cash on a whim. |

I'm kind of mesmerized by how much credit people give the concept of Putin taking the world by the balls. He's backed into a fucking corner right now, yet he is somehow going to corner the oil market by seizing/damaging Saudi fields and the world will just sit back, take it, and continue buying his oil to fix his crisis. This has gone far beyond mental gymnastics. |

Also, most wild-catters and small outfits (around here at least) are drilling NG.

Maybe there is little difference between having in in the ground (essentially stored) and having it stored in a tank farm somewhere. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Also, most wild-catters and small outfits (around here at least) are drilling NG. At $50/barrel, I see shit loads of wells being plugged (unless you're big time) until this blows over and the Saudis start in on us again. they could pump the oil and just sit on it for higher prices? why spend extra money to pump it first? good point. Hmm....I suppose because then they would'nt have the lead time to get the rig running arrange transporttion etc... But thn you have to store it, and maybe pump at a loss. before you store it. If the well heads are in how long does it take to get it running? Maybe there is little difference between having in in the ground (essentially stored) and having it stored in a tank farm somewhere. I'm not a driller. I did upstream processing for transport. I believe it is fairly intensive requiring pressure top side to get the flow. The fracked reservoirs aren't these gushers coming 3k psi on tap. It would take time and money. If it didn't, well, they wouldn't stop producing at 50 dollars a barrel. the point is, the fracing wells will ensure the price of oil stabalizes right around their cost of production, which will continue to go down. |

Everybody wants to be a policy analyst, till its time to do some policy analyst shit. Trof. I use to pay a lot more attention to this stuff, then work got real busy and most of what I knew slipped through the sieve of my mind. It can be a nice hobby, though. It's fun to read a news report on X and make the connection to the seemingly unrelated issues of Y and Z half a globe away. |

There are guys on this board who get paid to do it and have access to resources to do it well. |

Ahhh... fuck it... Let's sing like the good ol' days  http://youtu.be/IV4IjHz2yIo
http://youtu.be/IV4IjHz2yIo I try so hard to hate that Russian bastard, but watching him sing Blueberry Hill is fucking hilarious. I propose a talent contest between our respective dictators. Obama vs Pootiepoo singing and dancing. It wouldn't settle shit but the comedy value would be epic. Somehow I picture Obama singing like William Shatner. Speaking the lyrics.
