Not a good day so far. Any comments on my notion that the rise in oil prices, when they come, will be caused more by shut in of wells needing at least $16 bbl to be profitable, rather than by OPEC's 100% compliance with cuts? While I agree that a price rise due to production reductions doesn't necessarily help drillers, the shut-ins are permanet cuts, not coming back. The shift will be to low cost production, from higher cost prodution, which should favor offshore drilling. Meanwhile, a few bombs on Iraq wouldn't hurt. I think that once the cuts do start to show up, which should be pretty soon, there will be a much a rapid drop in supply than is being projected now.
