[Just about the only thing about which both sides agree is that the recent run-up in oil prices, which began well before Hurricane Katrina, has been caused because demand for oil - spurred by growth in China, the generally healthy economic condition of the Western world, and other factors - has caught up with supply.] The world produces about 85 million barrels a day, ... That's where demand is now, too. And I've seen forecasts that demand is going to be higher than that by the end of the year. |
I think you'll see $75 before you see $60 again, $100 crude? Sure, it could happen. |
It'll be slow in the first half for energy stocks. |
Let me give you a number that is pretty shocking when you hear it. The world uses 30 billion barrels of oil a year. There is no way we're replacing 30 billion barrels of oil. Just a million barrels a year is 1,000 wells producing 1,000 barrels a day. That's big. |

We think the first half of the year is going to be somewhat slow, pick up later in the year and in the fourth quarter we'll be back up to levels like we are now. |
You cannot help but be struck by the magnitude of this disaster, ... The American Red Cross is on the front line of this recovery effort. I'm grateful for the opportunity to help advance their mission and I appreciate the contributions from so many of our employees and their families. I'm hopeful this will help spur other donations from companies large and small. As a nation, this is a critical time to pull together and help this hard-hit region recover from this disaster. |
You could work up to that level, $90 to $100 a barrel, in the next two years. It could go to $90 or $100 a barrel pretty quick if something went haywire. |
You have gasoline in Europe at $5, and in the United States at $2.20. Eventually, it's going to have to move up. ... I do think you're going to see gasoline prices move up to $3 within a year from now. |
