Gas is over $2 a gallon, that's plenty high enough for everyone to make a mountain of money.

This chart is a year old, but the point still remains - sub $2.64 gas is cheaper than normal when adjusted for inflation.

Agreed. Although it is a similiar commodity, natural gas is slowly picking up. These next 20 years the natural gas industry will start booming over others. It is the energy of the future until something else is discovered

I've said in other thread, gas as high as $2.50 is manageable for most people. Higher than that is just gouging for more profits.

I just find it comical that people think inflation affects everything except gas/oil. $4 is high. $2.50 is low.

Have you seen how much stuff on a rig can be automated? If oil hits $200 a barrel and a rig only needs 3 hands to run it, OB's are still screwed.




Oh man you have never been on a rig.

You are correct. I was was wrong, it's actually 5 people. I also watch a history channel show where it showcased the technology for a company man to have the ability to run a dozen drill shacks at one time. All while sitting in an office in Houston.

yeah i laughed at that as well.

if anything the processing plants are more ready for automation than a drilling rig.

here comes some plant baws (homer simpson types) trying to justify their job

how cost effective is that technology. it has to cost less than human operation. a company isn't going to use it if it cost more.

I love oil threads.

At my old company we were getting closer to taking a night hand off location and monitoring from the office. Then came the downturn and the r&d money went away. In the long run we would have saved some money but it was very expensive to implement initially. It would have taken a few years to recoup that cost

it sounds great in theory but one manning a job gets old fast. and then people quit and you are left with a less skilled worker running the show

I have one manned a few jobs as MWD and DD when we were short handed. its hard to sleep easy knowing any second you may get woke up with an issue

When the dollar plunges - there is a direct correlation between the strength of the US dollar and Oil / DXY is around 98 at the moment...Crude was at $100 barrel when the DXY was at $80 / so you need lower rates causing the dollar to fall which in turn will cause oil prices to go up
