Bold Prediction -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

30-second sound bite:
  • Saudi Arabia: 10 million bopd
  • Russia: 10 million bopd
  • US: 9 million bopd (or 10 million bopd)
  • Canada: 3 million bopd
  • Bakken: 0.6 million bopd
If the price of oil goes to $60 by the end of the year and stays there for at least six months, at the end of six months (into next year):
  • Saudi Arabia: 9 million bopd
  • Russia: 9 million bopd
  • US: 9 million bopd
  • Canada: 0 million bopd
  • Bakken: 0.7 million bopd

  1. Do you really think it will go down to $60? As long as no middle east situations cause and effect. Jeremy

    1. A "flash crash" is always possible. Didn't oil drop to the mid-40's in recent past? I forget, but "they" talk about oil's pullback to $38 or something like that in recent past.

      I have learned to make no predictions about price of oil in the short term (over the next 12 months). It's long term trend is up.
