okay with the hurrican i have been watching a lot of fox news. according to opec they will pump more oil to help. here is the crazy part opec is going to hold a meeting next month to figure out why gas prices are as high as they are, they stated the opec pumps and sells the oil at 12 per barrel.
so who ever is buying the oil at 12 per barrel is marking it up to a current price of 67 a barrel, i wonder if this is along the lines of enron, artificially marking up the oil. i have read a few things lately about oil wells, some thing like 70 % of the wells that were dry 10 to 20 years ago now have oil in them again, and but that they mean full flow pumping, not partial. right now there is a 55 billion gallon oil surpluse ( just heard it ) in storage in this country. |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) Andy, I had an office in the UK for about 10 years. I never understood why fuel was so high there with the UK being an net exporter. The UK has large coal, natural gas, and oil reserves; primary energy production accounts for 10% of GDP, one of the highest shares of any industrial nation. Oil - exports: 1.498 million bbl/day (2001) Great place! Made many good friends in England. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) Now it is our turn to get hosed..... Cheers!
