$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.

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.

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.
