Pioneering moves were made into Kurdistan in the 2000s by the likes of Gulf Keystone and Hunt Oil, with considerable drill-bit success. In late July, two important Kurdistan exploration and development deals were announced.

    The Oil Drum | Drumbeat: June 1, 2011 http://www.theoildrum.com/node/7988 Drumbeat: June 1, 2011 Posted by Leanan on June 1, 2011 - 10:34am Scary signs for jobs A variety of one-time factors, including high oil prices earlier this year, Japan's earthquake and nuclear crisis, and severe weather including flooding and tornadoes in the South, have all taken their toll on American employers. Add government layoffs to the mix, and the picture looks even worse. As federal stimulus dollars have petered out, state and local governments have cut jobs for six months straight. That said, economists were still not expecting this much weakness. Oil Falls the Most in Three Weeks on Report That U.S. Employers Cut Hiring Crude oil dropped the most in three weeks after data showed that U.S. companies added fewer jobs than forecast last month and the expansion of manufacturing slowed, bolstering concern fuel demand growth will weaken. Higher oil price prompts increased drilling Higher-than-expected oil and gas drilling activity in western Canada led the Canadian Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors Wednesday to increase its forecast for the total number of wells to be drilled in 2011. It now expects the total to be 13,128, an increase of some 1,300, or 11 per cent over the 11,811 wells it anticipated in its project released in October. Philippines protests to China over oil rig plan The Philippines said Wednesday it had formally protested to Beijing over recent activity in disputed waters of the South China Sea and Chinese plans to anchor an oil rig there.

  • Its Impact on Atlantic Basin Energy and Energy Relations with the Non-Atlantic World 1
    Chapter Two The African Hydrocarbons Boom: Its Impact on Atlantic Basin Energy and Energy Relations with the Non-Atlantic World 1 Benjamin Augé Over the past decades the oil sector has changed drastically, thanks to geologists who placed their trust in the potential of new zones that had long remained underexplored. The increase in the price of Brent crude after 2003 (rising from $28/bbl to $94/bbl by 2008, and then climbing to $110/bbl in 2012) helped oil firms raise funds to explore new regions and allowed them to take more risks. This relatively high price level resulted from several geopolitical disruptions which con - tinue to have global repercussions. These have included: (1) the Iraq war; (2) rising tensions with Iran over its nuclear program; (3) Venezuela’s massive strike in 2006 and its long-term effects; (4) the wave of violence since 2006 in Nigeria’s Niger Delta; (5) recurring terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia; and (5) Hurricane Katrina in 2005, among others. In any case, the seemingly-secular rise in the price of oil in the past decade reflects, to a large degree, a thirst for oil in emerging countries, particularly in China and India. By 2012, the worldwide market was demanding 10 million more barrels per day of oil (mbd) than it had a decade earlier, bringing total global oil demand to its current level of 90 mbd. Editor’s note: this chapter was written when oil prices were around $100 /bbl— before their recent decline. Although a long period with prices at their current levels— $50-$60 /bbl— would price out of the market much of Africa’s new potential supply— the central subject of this chapter— it is likely that prices will actually stabilize within a higher range, somewhere between $70 and $80/bbl.
