George,

More good news. I read this in a research memo from Morgan Stanley. Oil price
outlook positive.

Supply side catalysts include:

Strong OPEC compliance at 90%
Output disruptions in US, Russia, Nigeria.
Production shortfalls in Iran and Iraq.

Other factors: Decline in demand has stabilized. World production to be flat over next 2Q's. Modest decline in 2Q99. Demand predicted to increase on average 2.4mmbpd over next 2 Q's. Consumption expected to exceed supply by 1.5mmbpd in 4Q98 and by 1.5mmbpd in 1Q99. Significant declines expected in inventories.

Another OPEC cut of 0.5 - 0.7mmbpd expected and this would eliminate crude supply overhang. Upside to $17/bbl by year end. FY98 average $15.50/bbl.

Paul.

PS Keep your eye on APC, SII.
