[MBZ] Gas prices hit record high
Hendrick said. OPEC is very shy of telling exactly how much they have left, so as to stuff the world around. Also China and other parts of the developing world are starting to use up vast quantities of oil. There may well be oil reserves under the oceans but getting at them will require technology that is still beyond us. I suppose it is in the interest of OPEC to not oversupply, cause once their oil runs out it's back to herding camels in the desert. Actually, deep water drilling is getting fairly common. It was new back in 2001 when I worked for Unocal (Now part of Chevron), but Chevron recently drilled a well in 7000 feet of water and 20,000 feet of seabed. That opens up a LOT of area for access. It does take about 10 years to get it drilled and on production.

Re: [MBZ] Gas prices hit record high
A mining engineer on another list said there is ten times the amount of oil in the Middle East contained in the oil shales in Canada and certain U.S. Western states. Now that the price of crude has exceeded a critical price, international oil companies are mining it on a large scale in Canada. I read an article about life in the Canadian mining areas; probably in the Wall Street Journal, the Economist, or the Smithsonian magazine. When the oil shale refineries start producing in large quantities, the price of crude will drop, but never to previous low levels since the cost of extracting oil from shale is considerably more than pumping it, according to the mining engineer.

Don't hold your breath on oil shale. The energy and water requirements to process the shale and recover the oil are too daunting at present.

Re: [MBZ] Gas prices hit record high
Are you seeing any drop in prices today? I hear on the radio that prices in Toronto have gone down about $0.03 this morning and it should happen accross the country shortly. I am holding off here on filling in the hope that they are correct as the price just went up yesterday. I need to fill but am not going to drive much today so will wait til tomorrow and see if it drops back down. It will only make a difference of about $3 on a fill maybe but it is sort of the principle of the thing at this point.

Re: [MBZ] Gas prices hit record high
The traders keep blowing bubbles then bursting them, and making money while they do it. So the answer is never. That article says there is no good (or any) reason (based on the usual factors) why oil is $100/bbl and gas shot up $0.30 overnight or in a couple of days. And reserves keep being found that expand the potential supply of the stuff, might cost a bit more to get it, but its there. So, when you figure out the answer, you can become a trader and make millions so you won't ever have to worry or whine or have any sorts of concerns about the price. In the meantime you can buy stock in the oil companies. --R Kaleb C. Striplin wrote: When is the bubble going to burst?
