Nope, he's saying it cost him 40 million more to drill a well.

Do you think the well drillers set the price of oil? Do you have any concept of a free market? Do you know that on the world market that oil is traded for dollars?

What do you think is going to happen to the price of oil when the dollar drops again?

I get HIS logic . Gas is higher because it COST more to get the oil out of the ground. (his reason) MY logic is if it was CHEAPER to get the gas out of the ground in 2009 BUT gas was and is the same price at the pump then and now they were REALLY gouging people when "cost" was 2.5 times smaller.

Really I hope it stays at $80-90 bucks a bbl for the next 5 years. I will retire then.


Another thing just like everyone we can’t get equipment. We have 26 wells slotted to drill in Angola but we only have 15 well heads and don’t know when we can get them.

There was a lot less oil on the market in 2009 worldwide. USA added 4 million bbls a day more and that was just us. It’s all supply and demand. Oil is sold on a worldwide market. China has very little oil so they have to buy 90 some %.

"Oil giant ConocoPhillips announced Wednesday that it’s shutting down its drill rigs on the remote North Slope oil fields, and placing them into long-term storage, to protect its employees and contractors during the coronavirus pandemic.

This winter was supposed to be Conoco’s largest exploration and construction season ever in Alaska. In a statement, Conoco spokeswoman Natalie Lowman said the company is now significantly reducing its workforce on the Slope because of the heightened risk of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus."

Word I get, is this is still a major problem here.

I would have guessed that being in the remote North Slope oil fields would make you less likely to contract Covid than being almost anywhere else.

Make no mistake about it, the productivity of the shale areas in the United States was a total surprise to the rest of the world's producers. When the shale basins in the US go into terminal decline, and they will in the very near future, the price of all energy will increase dramatically.

People who work at Prudhoe come from all over the U.S. They get in planes and breath on each other on their way to Alaska and then get on planes and breath on each other on their way to the slope. Then they live together at Prudhoe breathing on each other. It was a logistical nightmare in the beginning just to keep operating when these people( non -residents ) were required to quarantine in Anchorage or Fairbanks for two weeks in a hotel before they could fly to Prudhoe to do a two week hitch.

Kansas thank you for this piece of info.

No you don't get the logic of oil and gas prices than and now.
Producers don't set the price of oil, the market does. The market doesn't care what it cost to produce something. See deerkiller's post about supply in 2009, see my post about the value of the dollar.

Supply, demand and a week dollar is what contributed to oil prices in 2009. A large part of the reason oil got cheap is an old adage that says the cure for high prices is high prices and the cure for low prices is low prices.

Well maybe if jbryd goes and catches some coon that a cost him $20 to produce this year he can go to a furbuyer and ask for $25. Then when he gets a $3 offer he will understand he don't set the price of coon with what it cost him to produce one.

I think behind closed doors, Fauci and his political buddies are high 5-ing each other. It got rid of Trump for them and gave politicians and other bureaucrats more power than they ever dreamed possible.

49er please read the TITLE of this thread

GAS prices!! I never mentioned nor claimed to know why , how , or what set the price of crude. MY comments and the oil guys just supported it with cost analogy that GAS should not or ever go up 48 cents over night This price increase happened BEFORE crude went to it’s highest since 2014 or whenever. If and that’s a BIG if crude prices set gas prices then the final cost of production of crude should parallel gas prices Does it ? No. Because they have and will continue to gouge the American public because they can Ever wonder why oil lobbyists paid BILLIONS to get the ceiling price on gas removed?

No I haven't wondered, probably because I don't believe in governments setting prices.

The new price(3.21) is right on market, you should be wondering why he was at 2.73 for so long.

Yet they are setting gas prices in a back door sort of way. Shutting down production and pipelines. Some up and down is to be expected, but here in KS gas is up 50%. Another dollar will be a 100% increase. I don't know what the true inflation rate is for printing all that stimulus money, but I don't think its 50%.

Man everything is up. Gas, food, clothing, you name it.
