Tommaso--I'm betting a substantial part of my net worth that the increased production you mentioned was related to skimming off the cream with the easy to drill prospects. These companies took advantage of high prices to exploit most drillable sites, perhaps even damaging them. Now that many of these sites are rapidly depleting, the need for new prospects will become increasingly apparent. Hence, my bets on seismic (PGO/ VTS/ SEI) and sundry other areas--including compression (HC), environmental (NR),and deep land (GW). This approach will involve patience as the drama plays itself out--but I am committed to testing this hypothesis with about 65 % of my portfolio--good luck--Frank

API numbers were very good yesterday. On the other hand here is a recent comment from IEA:
"...total oil industry stocks in the OECD fell by just 0.3 mb/d during the fourth quarter of 2001, significantly less than the normal seasonal drawdown."

Judging by OSX performance, OECD is a subset of the US.
