For the record the current price of oil is $140.20. Lets see where it goes by the time this thread becomes too large.

Good idea, FireJack. The last thread went from:
$76.70 on 8 September 2007
to:
$143.67 on or about 30 June 2008. _________________ "Every junkie's like a setting sun..." - Neil Young |

I really don't see why it's necessary to split this into a second thread, but at least posting this will keep it on my 'View Your Posts' list...

ah... I wanted to quote but since it's locked, I've to quote manually:

I think it is much more likely that the neo-cons will be frog marched out into the back yard and shot, than it is that they will usurp the entire government. |
That will be a just ending for those neocon traitors. I'm not USAmerican, but USArmy is annoyingly "righteous"... they're actually murderers 4 oil and worst world terrorists. _________________ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Esteban.barahona // also including all world languages

I'll tell you the truth, TWilliam. There was a lot of off topic political discussion in the old thread. I can't split them when they get that long because they crash my browser (the whole thing tries to load in one page).
I'd appreciate it if folks would take the recent tangent about the US government to a new thread, because it's really off topic here. Thanks in advance. I apologize for the inconvenience caused by locking the old thread.
Now, back to discussing record crude oil prices! I'm sure we'll see more of those soon...  _________________ "Every junkie's like a setting sun..." - Neil Young |

Only three trading days left for that $150 oil by July 4 prediction by a major broker to come true. _________________ It's already over, now it's just a matter of adjusting. |

I don't think it will hit $150 this week. Holding $140 is pretty good. Isn't that about double what it was last year? That price will wreak some havoc.
We're going to see these high oil prices ripple through the economy soon. _________________ Deep in the mud and slime of things, even there, something sings. |

Well, that's what I was thinking when it was holding around $130+. That's pretty good, let's buy a few barrels on behalf of my investment fund
For all we know, we could be in for a repeat of the $10 consolidation range we saw from $130-140. Now that we have had a clear breakout above $140, the stage is set for $150. That is, unless somebody wants to surprise us with a "Black Swan" event that takes say 5% demand off the world oil markets?
But if it ever drops to subsequent supports like $130, $120 or even $110, actual users as well as folks like myself will be out there doing some buying. _________________ Live quotes - crude oil, gold and currencies

We peakoilers know way better than to try to predict oil prices by this or that date, or global peak oil by this or that date. (We could always have some fun trying, though!)

Just went over $142 this Tuesday evening, Singapore time, and then promptly dropped back down to $141. Looks like we're into another phase of consolidation around these levels. _________________ Live quotes - crude oil, gold and currencies

IEA Medium-Term Oil Market report has added support. The agency is now publicly expressing doubts about KSA. Financial Times (subscription may be required)
| Quote: | IEA warns of tightening oil supplies
The oil market would remain tight during the next five years as production from non-Opec countries stalls and demand growth remains relatively strong, the western countries’ energy watchdog warned on Tuesday.
The International Energy Agency’s warning is the starkest sign yet that even record oil prices above $140 a barrel have not yet not done enough to balance demand growth from countries such as China with sluggish supply increases.
The IEA said that annual non-Opec growth would slow to 0.5 per cent between 2008 and 2013, against demand growth of 1.6 per cent per year. The mismatch means the world economy would be more reliant on Opec, the oil cartel, and oil prices are likely to remain at record levels, analysts said.
[snip]
The IEA said it believed Saudi Arabia was having bigger problems than the kingdom, the world’s largest exporter, was willing to admit to, despite its national oil company having gone to great lengths last month to reassure energy ministers gathered in Jeddah that, except for Khursaniyah, its capacity editions were running on schedule.
The IEA said: “State company Aramco insists that [Khursaniyah] delays are not symptomatic of likely delays at their other projects. Nonetheless, latest market intelligence leads us to push back our estimates for the Nuayyim increment and for Manifa, by six to nine months compared with the July 2007 forecast.” |
