In May, GS said Brent crude would be at to $120 by August:

Goldman Sachs Issues Buy Recommendation on Crude Oil

Then last week on May 23rd, Goldman completed its flip-flop, recommending that clients buy December 2012 Brent crude oil futures (BRN2Z-ICE) at $105.16 and raising its Brent crude oil price forecast to $115/bbl, $120/bbl, and $130/bbl on a 3, 6, and 12 month horizon. Goldman’s rationale:

We expect that the ongoing loss of Libyan production and disappointing non-OPEC production will continue to tighten the oil market to critically tight levels in early 2012, with rising industry cost pressures likely to be felt this year.

It is only a matter of time until inventories and OPEC spare capacity will become effectively exhausted, requiring higher oil prices to restrain demand.

On Friday, Brent closed at $106 and change. And if Libya was done, Brent would be even lower. GS's forecasts ain't what they used to be.
