Watch. Most missed it, but I saw it. You can say "The bubble burst", or "Supply and demand" or whatever bullshit you want to come up with.
Oil started going down like a drunk girl on prom night THE VERY DAY the offshore drilling ban expired. Obama will sign a new one shortly. Watch the price of oil then, and get back to me. With McCain erasing Obama's lead and America screaming to "Drill Now!", the ban expired and OPEC said "Oh Shit!" Wait untill the Kenyan gives us a new ban. The rest of the world will say "See, they didn't mean it. Back to $100 per barrel!!!" |

We dont get much news on top of my mountain. What little internet time I have is spent on Arfcom Yes, just look at how the eco-frauds said there was little to nothing in the Gulf of Mexico before we drilled there. Off shore of CA and in Alaska we have enough to make a big hit. The biggest thing is the speculation on oil. It is mostly the idea that the US is moving away from needing oil from OPEC that will make them keep prices down. We are also the Middle East of NG. Drilling in the short term to hold us over until a conversion to NG for cars/trucks is the only way. There is not any other fuel that could be put in the tank of a car for at least a decade that would be able to compete with NG based on cost and availability. Electric and Hydrogen is a joke without nuclear plants to create electricity for charging the cars or the production of hydrogen. So anyway to look at it, its the libs holding us back from solving this problem with the solutions we have had for the last 30-40 years. Obama, the house, and congress will not allow, -Nuclear power -Domestic drilling -incentives to switch to NG We are fucked without a cheap and reliable energy supply. |

We then work with the pipeline layers to connect the well with the production facility which separates the crude product, then pumps it to shore to be refined. We have work booked through 2010. there is no shortage of supply or demand. Dont listen to the media otherwise. |

Americans scaled back on discretionary driving when gas was ~$4/gal, and have since found other ways to spend the money they are saving with gas at $1.50/gal, either that, or they have significantly less money than they did 8 months ago. LOTS of people have lost their jobs since then, and more are either taking pay cuts, or sweating layoffs. doesn't look like a lot of people are planning a road trip any time soon. |

Well, I didn't notice any reduction in driving over the weekend. Got STUCK in Chinatown traffic in West Houston. I detoured because I-10 was shut down at 99 west of Katy. Son of a bitch, that SUCKED. Chinese New Year weekend.
Then coming back, I needed to drop deuce and since Bucee's in Luling has the best johns and it was rather cool, I held off dropping a barak until then. Fucking parking lot was FULL and there were suckers paying big bucks on 16 kinds of jerkey. Fortunately, the johns were clean and pleasant. Until I had to wipe my biden...  That was one stinky barak.

I don't know what oil prices will settle out at but I have been watching gas prices sneaking back up.
Up $.35 or so from the lowest and creeping up a couple of cents a day. It would not surprise me to see gas well over $3.00 a gallon by summer 09. That does not include any changes in the fed gas tax that obamer might put in place to help fight global warming

I'm hoping the effort to get the alternative fuels gets off the ground a little more so that even if the oil does go back up it won't play as large a role as it did previously. What is scary is that with the current economy the companies that were starting up with reliable and feasible alt-energy cars are going belly up or have become stagnant. The changes that are trying to be made right now, or yesterday, should have been attempted at full throttle a couple of decades ago. Now even though the necessity is there the financial ability to make those inventions come to fruition is all the more distant. What I see on a larger scale is even more pitiful, but whatever, I've got to get some sleep.

Oil reached $140.00 because of market manipulation. I hope it stays around $45.00 per barrel. Oil refineries have cut prodution to raise gas prices. Gas has went up over .20 per gallon here in a month. By the way, China and India were never factors.

The price will be based upon supply and demand.

It is also selling at below replacement cost. The price "has" to go up.

It sounds like you are expecting (or praying) that the economy is going to turn around overnight. There is simply no way that this will happen. It would take a leader to accomplish that and we have none. The economy has no chance of ever recovering unless a couple of things are in place and one of those things is cheap energy. Supply and demand will keep energy cheap going forward even if it is only on cheap during the depression. If the price of oil is kept artificially high during the interim, then the oil will stay in the ground and not benefit anyone. Don't believe that OPEC has the will to do this. They are all thieves and there is no honor in any of them. |
