Funny, I just checked and the ppb of oil is falling.

Oil prices are subject to many factors, political, economics and whether. The price of oil has no where else to go but up. Extreme pressure is being exerted on producing nations to keep the flow and raise production to the max. This is the pacification phase.

Oil is a finite commodity and as such a point is going to be reached where supply can’t meet demand. Steps have to be taken now to prepare alternatives for that fateful event. 

The world as a whole has to share in this task. No other calamity facing us today can come close to its sheer effect on all our lives and on so many levels.

doomed is not to hope for safety”

Oil is priced in $$$$. As the dollar falls in value, oil prices go up.

Have you checked what the DX Z7 is doing? 77.97 ouch....that’s gonna hurt.
It was over 1.25 when oil was $22
Now it’s 78 and oil is $83

By your reasoning, then, Mark, if the dollar rises, oil prices will go down, right?  You just don’t understand markets, along with a lot of other things.
In our system, things are worth what people are willing to pay for them.

All of your babble about currency is meaningless until you name the Democrats that stole your city’s money. That is the currency you should be concerned about, markie.

nalhamid, they are words to live by. As are Nex Pro Inhonesto.

Hate to break it to you, but another knucklehead beat you to this rant; his name was Thomas Malthus, and you can Google him.  He was wrong too.

Yes it would go down....
and if it goes below their comfort zone(take a look at Dubai, their comfort zone has exploded) they will cut production.

2Hotel9 I think you meant Potius mori quam foedari.
That, I believe, is what you wanted to say.

I never said I had the idea, but you only have to look at the U.S. oil production to know that oil is finiate.

No. Not sure where you got that. Death Before Submission.

Oil production in America is restricted by environmental regulation, not by lack of oil. We have not built a new refinery in America since the 1970s, and our domestic drilling and extraction are heavily restricted.

Than why has oil flowing out of the pipeline gone from 2.2 million bpd(max flow) to 700,000 bpd?
Goto DOE and you will see the decline from it’s peak in 86.

Restrictions placed upon drilling/extraction have forced a stead drop in domestic production.

Then again you are terrified to even utter the names of the Democrats that have stolen your city’s money, no wonder you do not know what is happening anywhere else in America. Now cry for us some more, squeeze out a few tears. That is always entertaining.

Please.... show me the restrictions.

Did you use the same research techniques for this info as you did when tried to figure out the difference between a town and s city?

True, but existing wells are drying up. What you’re talking about is new exploration in protected areas. My point is existing wells allowed the U.S. to be at one time the largest oil producer in the world. Now it is only producing a fraction of what it used to.

All the major players are moving aggressively in the area. Notice that the Sudan had an on going domestic problem for 30 years. Why all of a sudden this increased and non stop criticism of the regime there? The answer is China. China signed a long term agreement with the Sudan for oil exploration and found huge oil fields there.

It is estimated that there are 20,000 Chinese “workers” in the Sudan. It is believed they are actually several red army brigades, there to protect the oil fields from rebel attacks. These rebels are allegedly funded and armed by the U.S. to make the Chinese’s life as miserable as possible. Note not a single U.N. security resolution was taken against the Sudan, due to the threat of a Chinese veto. 

Iran was a nuisance ever since the revolution, but no serious act on the part of the U.S. has ever materialized. Iran then went into agreements with Russia and China for its oil. Then it showed up on the radar screen.

As Lord Palmerston observed: ‘Nations have no permanent friends or allies, they only have permanent interests.’ And as such each nation evaluates its “friendship” based purely on how much interest that friendship reaps. Pure and simple without all the sentimental hog wash you hear day in and day out.

These movements are but the first chess moves of many to try and dominate the oil production. I envisage we are on the verge of major wars that will last for several years resulting in dire misery and retaliation from the weak. In all likelihood it will be an asymmetrical war.

Sorry, but I tend to forget myself when writing.

It would be interesting to see what the OPEC commissioner would have said back in the early 1980s when oil hit around $35/barrel....I would have to guess that they would have assumed that high prices were here to stay as well. 

More or less, the Qatari is assuming “ceterus parabus” with consistent growth, and I don’t know that we can assume that.

Agreed, but in the 1980’s the main oil consumers were the west and Japan. Today India and China are importing a huge amount of oil to fuel their humongous economies. In the 80’s it demand was well within the level of production. Many countries produced half of their existing capacities to keep prices artificially high.

Today production is at its maximum level, without a barrel to spare. Any disruption of oil production even for a few days may result in short term havoc.

This is false.  Brazil recently brought in a deep water platform off its Atlantic Coast, and we just struck a deep water field in the Gulf de Mexico.

Everything is relative; we’re talking about 90 million barrels being produced every single day. If Saudi Arabia would go off line for any extended period, no oil field anywhere can compensate that loss. A couple of hundred thousand barrels here and there isn’t going to help that much. By the way “not a barrel to spare” was dramatization on my part. You can always squeeze a few hundred thousand here and there. But overall demand is rising and whatever fields remained untapped has been with the exception of some protected areas.

You made an absolute statement, and it’s wrong.  You based your chain of logic on that premise, so the rest of your conclusions are also wrong.  GIGO

What statement are you referring to specifically?

Today production is at its maximum level, without a barrel to spare.

Your initial premise for everything that follows.
Read up on Malthus; it might give you some perspective on your false scareology.
