Johnson spoke recently at a lunch- eon during the Marine/Offshore In- dustry Outlook Conference, spon- sored by the Texas A&MUniversity Sea Grant Program. About 130 in- dustry representatives attended the luncheon. Oil prices probably will rise and drop in seasonal cycles, starting low in the spring, firming up in the sum- mer, rising in the fall and then drop- ping again, Johnson said. "I don’t think that when we see oil prices moving up later this year that we ought to get excited about it, because there’s another side to that hill," Johnson said. While the price of domestic oil is likely to begin stabilizing in the 1990s, he said, "I don’t believe that we’re going to see oil much over $20 and $25 a barrel." Meanwhile, Johnson said, the in- dustry will probably see more and more petroleum company buyouts, like the "megamergers" that took place during the past two years. Among the large mergers were Chevron Co.’s purchase of Gulf Oil Corp., Texaco, Inc.’s buyout of Getty Oil Co. and Mobil Corp.’s acquisition of Superior Oil. Most oil companies now must use their revenues to meet expenses and pay debts, not for exploration and development, Johnson said.
