Business week article says $10 oil.

I was just about to post the link also. They claim that demand will be essentially flat for the next 2 years and that production will be up 400,000 barrels/day due to venezuela, 400,000 due to north sea, 400,000 or so due to saudi and they do not even mention iraq at $2 Billion dollars per 6 months. And one analyst is saying that $10 per barrel oil is quite possible.

What does that do? Everyone says that oil at $12-13 for 6 months screws up the E&P budgets. Do rigs shut down or do they lower their day rates?

Is the article bunk or are your heads in the sand?

Thean, thanks for the post. Interesting to note that according to the chart asian demand started flattening at the BEGINNING of 97....projections are for an increase in demand for 98...albeit at a lesser rate than originally projected....also asian consumption totals a little less than 9 mbpd out of the global demand of plus 70 (?) mbpd...or around 15% of the total.. Anybody keeping track of the weather in Europe? Have they been as warm as we have? Dave
