$200 ppb

quote:

Al-Khobar, Asharq Al-Awsat—Oil prices could rebound to 200 US dollars per barrel if investments in the oil sector dry up in light of current low prices, according to OPEC’s secretary general, Abdallah El-Badri.

Speaking to Bloomberg in London on Monday, Badri warned that new investment was needed in order to develop oil fields, with investments in the sector already falling and a number of projects canceled as current low prices continue to affect profit margins.



..this is to all who think this rapid short term drop in oil prices is a good thing. You'll be crying for $3/gal prices when you're paying $5/gal.

Doubt that happens.

There is more supply than demand right now.

that's their gamble of not cutting production when their isn't demand for it in an effort to hurt fracking.

my money is on our boys figuring out how to get the oil out more efficiently and the fact that they still wouldn't be pumping oil had we and the brits shown them how to get it out.

In direct contradiction to a Saudi Prince saying we would never see >$100bbl again (find your own link).

If it does fracking pops right back up as competition.

The thing is it's way easier to scale down than to scale up. The world is always one ME dust up away from 100 dollar oil

bullshite.
If oil starts creeping back to the $100 range, production will pick back up as needed around the world. If it gets near $150 I could see the US opening up previously off limits area for drilling if need be and we could provided ourselves pretty much all of the oil we needed.

It will be $200 in the future...but that will be a LONG way away. The problem with his stupid prediction is he is assuming that investments in the sector will not increase as the price goes back up.

I love to gamble... And I will bet you any amount of money you want to bet that this doesn't happen by the summer time.

Put your money where your mouth is.

Also, the world is dedicating trillions to alternative energy sources.
