  • What's Really Wrong with the Price Of
    What Price Oil? - Roger Lowenstein - NYTimes.com Page 1 of 8 October 19, 2008 What’s Really Wrong With the Price of Oil By ROGER LOWENSTEIN Back before the mortgage meltdown turned into the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, the country’s big economic problem was energy. The presidential campaign was on fire over what to “do” about the price of oil. Gas cost more than $4 a gallon, it was slowing down the economy, people were driving fewer miles and they were flying less. Believe it or not, this was an economic crisis that affected people who didn’t happen to be pinstriped bankers, hedge-fund managers or cabinet officials. You didn’t have to read the stock- market columns to know it was happening. Ordinary people started walking to town or skipping errands — taking the compact and not the S.U.V. Actually, I did that. And then, the price of oil plummeted, first because of slowing demand and recently amid panic selling during the credit crisis. And as it plunged more than 40 percent from its record high of $147 a barrel, the issue has faded. Well, gas still costs $3.50 a gallon, and the price of a barrel of oil, last week close to $80, still is four times what it was all of six years ago. If that doesn’t sound like a big deal, consider that in the half-dozen years of the housing boom, residential home prices rose only 125 percent, whereas oil prices, even now, are 300 percent higher than they were six years ago.

I appear to have stiff competition—the likes of Dave Barry on one extreme1 and on the other, Pornhub’s marvelous annual climax that probes deeply personal preferences in the world’s favorite pastime.2 (I know when I’m licked.) My efforts began as a few paragraphs discussing the markets on Doug Noland’s bear chat board and monotonically expanded to a tome covering the orb we call Earth. It posts at Peak Prosperity, reposts at ZeroHedge, and then fans out from there. Bearishness and right-leaning libertarianism shine through as I spelunk the Internet for human folly to couch in snarky prose while trying to avoid the “expensive laugh” (too much setup).3 I rely on quotes to let others do the intellectual heavy lifting.

  • Dear Reader, Civilization As We Know It Is Coming to an End Soon. This Is
    Dear Reader, Civilization as we know it is coming to an end soon. This is not the wacky proclamation of a doomsday cult, apocalypse bible prophecy sect, or conspiracy theory society. Rather, it is the scientific conclusion of the best paid, most widely- respected geologists , physicists, bankers , and investors in the world. These are rational, professional, conservative individuals who are absolutely terrified by a phenomenon known as global "Peak Oil." "Are We 'Running Out'? I Thought There Was 40 Years of the Stuff Left" Oil will not just "run out" because all oil production follows a bell curve. This is true whether we're talking about an individual field, a country, or on the planet as a whole. Oil is increasingly plentiful on the upslope of the bell curve, increasingly scarce and expensive on the down slope. The peak of the curve coincides with the point at which the endowment of oil has been 50 percent depleted. Once the peak is passed, oil production begins to go down while cost begins to go up. In practical and considerably oversimplified terms, this means that if 2005 was the year of global Peak Oil , worldwide oil production in the year 2030 will be the same as it was in 1980. However, the world’s population in 2030 will be both much larger (approximately twice) and much more industrialized (oil-dependent) than it was in 1980. Consequently, worldwide demand for oil will outpace worldwide production of oil by a significant margin. As a result, the price will skyrocket, oil dependant economies will crumble, and resource wars will explode.

  • Here Comes $500 Oil If Matt Simmons Is Right, the Recent Drop in Crude Prices Is an Illusion - and Oil Could Be Headed for the Stratosphere
    Recent drop in crude is an illusion - oil is going to $500. - Sep. 22, 2008 Page 1 of 7 Powered by Here comes $500 oil If Matt Simmons is right, the recent drop in crude prices is an illusion - and oil could be headed for the stratosphere. He's just hoping we can prevent civilization from imploding. By Brian O'Keefe , senior editor Last Updated: September 22, 2008: 10:01 AM EDT (Fortune Magazine) -- Matt Simmons is as perplexed as anyone that it has fallen to him to take on OPEC, Exxon, the Saudis, and all the other misguided defenders of conventional wisdom in the oil patch. Why should one investment banker with a penchant for research be required to point out what he regards as the obvious - that from here on out, oil supplies can't meet demand, and if we don't act soon to solve this crisis, World War III could be looming? Why should a man who scorns most environmentalists have to argue that locally grown produce and wind power are the way of the future? Why should a lifelong Republican need to be the one to point out that his party's new mantra - "Drill, baby, drill!" - won't really fix anything and that his party's presidential candidate is clueless about energy? That the spike in oil prices earlier this year wasn't a temporary market anomaly and the recent retreat in prices is just a misleading calm before a calamitous storm? That we're headed toward $500-a-barrel oil? "I find it ironic that here we have the biggest industry on earth, and I'm one of the few people to figure out that we have a major problem," he says, in his confident if not quite brash way.

    The Oil Drum | DrumBeat: November 30, 2008 http://www.theoildrum.com/node/4816 DrumBeat: November 30, 2008 Posted by Leanan on November 30, 2008 - 10:33am Topic: Miscellaneous Oil majors eye $5-billion ships to cut costs London — Oil and gas companies are racing to develop a new type of vessel they hope will revolutionize offshore gas production but even if the untested technology works, its deployment could be blocked by resource holders who fear it will undermine development goals. The industry hopes to build a fleet of ships or barges that can sail or be towed to offshore gas discoveries, extract gas, freeze it to liquefied natural gas (LNG) and offload the LNG to tankers for shipping to lucrative Western and Asian markets. Aramco halts plan for Dammam oilfield - sources DUBAI (Reuters) - Top oil exporter Saudi Arabia has cancelled plans for a $1 billion project to restart production from the country's first oil discovery due to the potentially high costs, industry sources said on Sunday. State oil giant Aramco has put under review contracts for some of its biggest expansion projects, signed at the height of the commodities price boom. Aramco aims to negotiate cheaper deals reflecting the sharp fall in the cost of raw materials. OPEC Warns of Collapsing Demand OPEC's Secretariat has warned of a collapse in the global demand for crude oil. It made this warning in the last issue of its monthly bulletin on oil markets, highlighting a few major market developments that have led to this warning. Among these was the decline in demand in comparison to last year, the expectation that demand would further drop in the third quarter of the year, the collapse in the average price of OPEC's oil basket to below $50 at present, and the rapid decline in demand for oil in the US.
