re: Anyone check the price of oil lately? Low $60's and falling. It's almost too low.

I know for sure I’m calling bs on this one. Turnarounds and feed stock availability are the only things keeping the real players from running balls deep

Is there anything you pricks won’t whine about?


I'm not complaining. It's just not too good for the Gulf Coast if it drops any more.

My comment specifically had nothing to do with Trump. Move along.



His comment only referenced Trump's first term as a time frame. The substance was the booming oilfield amidst low oil prices. Try to keep up.

Billy Bob Thornton told me it's all good as long as it's between $65 and $90 a barrel.

drop in demand lowers prices more than an increase in production. Hopefully we use this cheap oil to restock our strategic reserves after Biden drew them down for short term political gain

Tigerdroppings is Louisiana people at its core, many of whom work in or have customers in the O&G biz. Saving $10 at the pump obviously isn’t going to excite them

Regardless, oil price has never been fully controlled by the free market. The recent drop was in large part because OPEC said they wouldn’t curtail production.

Also imported eggs to fill the gap while domestic flocks get rebuilt

Trump leads. Biden did whatever his handlers told him to do

It would be a good idea to restock the reserves at these prices.

Oil keeps dropping, but gas has gone up 30 cents in a few weeks.

Here's some googling for you:

Are US refineries running at full capacity?

US Utilization of Refinery Capacity is at 86.00%, compared to 87.00% last week and 88.70% last year. This is lower than the long term average of 89.63%.

And did you know, we can sell crude oil, unrefined (~ 4M barrels per day...)?

Are you even capable of embarrassment, or acknowledging you are wrong?

If by "colluding" you mean Trump calling Mohamad Bin Salam and saying, "hey buddy, can you open the spigots a little more". You are correct.

It takes a minute in the article but they finally get to the real reason Saudi Arabia upped oil production.

quote:

Some sources inside the producers' group said the Thursday decision was driven by much wider geopolitical reasons than just a desire to punish cheaters.
Announced on the same day with U.S. tariffs, the oil hike decision might help Saudi Arabia and Russia to foster relations with U.S. President Donald Trump.
Trump has been calling for lower oil prices just as tariffs are expected to accelerate inflation. He also wants to cut Iranian oil exports to zero to accelerate talks over Tehran's nuclear programme.

Your game is getting tiring. Never any data or links from you, just goal post moving. Speaking of moving, I'm moving on. You can talk to the mirror from now on.
