Crude Oil Futures Up

Crude Oil Futures

After a report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration that gasoline stocks had fallen last week by 2.9 million barrels, the price of crude oil shot up as high as $83.03 a barrel, its highest levels since early January.

The benchmark contract settled to $80.96 as the day went on, a decrease of 0.5 percent a barrel.

Other news affecting the price of oil was the announcement from OPEC that crude demand per day would rise by over 190,000 barrels a day over its previous estimate of 28.94 million barrels a day.

Also important to Allen is the irresponsible government policies around the world which, overall, refuse to stop spending and to shrink the governments down to manageable size.

As it relates to energy, Allen will report on how energy needs are contradicting the politically correct agenda of governments around the world, as oil and gas remain by far the major source of energy for the foreseeable future.

Iran Oil Rig Deal with China

China is the beneficiary of an order of an oil rig from Iran, valued at $143 million for the overall contract.

The North Oil Drilling Company, a state-run Iranian firm, also said it has orders for two more from the Chinese state energy group CNPC.

If the contract is fulfilled on time, the oil rig should be delivered sometime in the next eight months or so for use in oil and gas fields in the Persian Guld, said North Oil Drilling Company head Hedayatollah Khademi.
