yota691 Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Came across this... All-out Iran-Saudi Arabia war may lead to $300 per oil barrel11 JANUARY 2016, 13:18 (GMT+04:00) Baku, Azerbaijan, Jan. 11 By Elena Kosolapova – Trend: If all-out war burst out between the Saudi Arabia and Iran, oil prices could go to the $300 plus range fairly quickly, professor of economics in the US National Defense University, Adjunct Professor in Georgetown University Paul J. Sullivan told Trend. He did not specify how long the prices would remain at this range. Sullivan, also an expert in energy and Middle East, noted that massive amounts of oil reserves can be found in the areas on both sides of the Gulf where most of the population is Shia (both in Iran and Saudi Arabia). The proved oil reserves of the Gulf exceed 730 billion barrels, according to various estimates. “If Iran's proxies and followers go kinetic in Eastern Saudi Arabia [inhabited by Shia] and start blowing up energy facilities and pipelines then oil prices will be effected,” Sullivan said. Meanwhile he noted that he does not see this as a high probability set of events, but also he does not rule it out. Moreover if the Saudi-Iranian conflict makes the proxy wars more violent and the region more unstable it could also have a deep effect on oil prices, Sullivan said. The expert noted that the tensions have been effecting OPEC for some time and Iran and Saudi Arabia have been at odds for a very long time. “These tensions could get much worse and could lead to open conflict, but I hope not,” he said. Relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran soured after execution of Nimr al-Nimr, a prominent Shia cleric, by the Kingdom along with other 46 people, which was followed by a strong protest from Iran. Some Iranian protesters stormed Saudi embassy in Tehran on Jan. 3, smashing furniture and setting the building on fire before being dispersed by police. The Saudi consulate in the eastern city of Mashhad also was attacked. Saudi Arabia broke off diplomatic ties with Iran in response to these attacks. Over the past 30 years, the maximum oil price reached almost $144 per barrel of Brent in 2008. In January 2016 the oil price averages at $32-35 per barrel. and this... OPEC waiting for US oil companies’ bankruptcy 11 JANUARY 2016, 19:57 (GMT+04:00) Baku, Azerbaijan, Jan. 11By Anakhanum Khidayatova – Trend: OPEC will cut crude production and export in order to raise oil prices, after the US companies extracting hydrocarbons go bankrupt due to the current low energy prices, said Alexander Razuvayev, economist and director of the analytical department at Russian company Alpari. Alpari is one of the leading companies offering forex trading in Russia. "The price war will end sooner or later,” he told Trend Jan. 11. “We can expect positive changes this year. As a result of falling oil prices, budgets are running out, shale companies go bankrupt. Those, who survive the crisis, will take the new position on the market at comfortable prices." He said that none of the largest oil producers will be able to work at current low prices for a long time. Razuvayev believes that the current conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran is unlikely to impact the world oil prices. “There won’t be a massive clash between the parties,” Razuvayev said. “Iran has just been released from the sanctions. Saudi Arabia is weaker than Iran militarily. The sides do not need a war." He said that the threat of a conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran is only a short-term speculative factor for the world oil market. Relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran soured after execution of Nimr al-Nimr, a prominent Shia cleric, by the Kingdom along with other 46 people, which was followed by a strong protest from Iran. Mass protests took place in Iran following the said execution. In particular, the Saudi embassy in the capital Tehran and the consulate in the city of Mashhad were attacked, after which Riyadh broke off diplomatic ties with Tehran on Jan. 3. Over the past 30 years, the maximum oil price reached almost $144 per barrel of Brent in 2008. In January 2016, the oil price averaged at $32-35 per barrel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas. > Proved oil reserves: 9.6 billion barrels. ... North Dakota. > Proved oil reserves: 3.8 billion barrels. ... Alaska. > Proved oil reserves: 3.3 billion barrels. ... California. > Proved oil reserves: 3.0 billion barrels. ... New Mexico. > Proved oil reserves: 965 million barrels. Your going to find all these companies going bankrupt quickly when oil hits in the 20's per barrel . It looks like it could stabilize around 15-18 and sit at 20 or under for quit awhile between 1 to 2 years . OPEC then plans on oil going back to around 50 to 75 per barrel , and I believe it will more likely be around 45 to 55 per barrel. There main objective is to make the United States Economy Crash hard to bring down the dollar . Once the Dollar is down enough it won't be able to rebound back up with no Demand & 19 + trillion in Dept! We have a big & yet small window to get ready for this & hopefully be able to invest in this once in a life time opportunity ! The IMF is not going to implement the Yuan active in the SDR basket unit Oct of this year so get ready people ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yota691 Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Emirates is moving to nip any talk of an emergency meeting of OPEC with falling prices Economy News / Continue ... United Arab Emirates has moved to nip any talk of a possible emergency meeting of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) after Nigeria's petroleum minister said "two" of the Member States of the Organization requested the meeting. And it landed crude futures for global measurement Brent towards $ 30 a barrel to its lowest level in nearly 12 years before recovering slightly.Contracts and lost about three quarters of their value since mid-2014 due to oversupply. He said Nigerian Minister of State for Petroleum Emmanuel Ebi Katcheko told reporters on the sidelines of a meeting of energy in Abu Dhabi that such market conditions support the convening of an emergency meeting to discuss whether OPEC should change its policy. However, the energy minister of the UAE Suhail Al Mazroui said at the same conference that the current strategy of OPEC effective but need time to bear fruit and it can take between a year and a year and a half. Al Mazroui said he is not convinced that OPEC alone can change this strategy just a dip in the market. He added that the first half of 2016 would be "tough" on the oil market, but the recovery will begin gradually later in the year with the support of the expected decline in production from outside OPEC. Nigerian minister did not specify the two countries, which had asked for a meeting but said that such a meeting could take place in February or March.League next OPEC meeting will not take place before the second of June. But non-Gulf OPEC delegates in Hkka held an emergency meeting. Said one delegate from an African country, a member of the organization "will not hold any meeting." The OPEC's strategy to maintain production levels unchanged rather than cut supplies to push prices to recover in order to defend the market share of the Organization for producers of high-cost account such as shale oil producers in the United States. It is likely that swells oversupply in 2016 the return of Iranian oil supplies to the market immediately after the lifting of Western sanctions imposed on Tehran. Al Mazroui said he believed that all OPEC members, including Iran, have the right to increase their production. Those prospects prompted analysts to cut oil affairs of their expectations in the past few days, he said Standard Chartered Bank said crude prices could fall to ten dollars a barrel. It will depend the possibility of holding a meeting at the OPEC heavyweight Saudi Arabia, the organization's position at the forefront of the naysayers to cut production. Katcheko said "Saudi Arabia did not declare that they do not want to never talks. In fact strongly supported during our meeting in December for a meeting before June if there was a consensus to call him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
