RBN Energy: Eagle Ford, Part IV, Transportation Costs
Eagle Ford crude production is increasing rapidly and the rush to deliver it to market has created an infrastructure boom. US Gulf imports are already declining as Eagle Ford and Bakken crude start to reach the Gulf Coast in significant quantities. Today we survey the transport costs that Eagle Ford producers pay to get their crude to market.

Opened? We'll see. 
Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar on Monday outlined a proposed plan to open additional acreage in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPR-A) for oil and gas development.

The proposed plan would make approximately 11.8 million acres available for leasing. Salazar said the move would make the vast majority of projected oil resources in the NPR-A available for leasing.

In March, Interior released the draft Integrated Activity Plan and Environmental Impact Statement (IAP/EIS), which included four future management alternatives for the NPR-A.
If the link doesn't break, you will love the photo with Ken in a 10-gallon hat; great photo op as we go into the election cycle. I assume we will see him in Carhartt work clothes on a work-over rig in the Bakken.

By the way, for the women working in the Bakken, visit Sorel boots; also at Home of Economy, Williston, ND. And while I'm at it, Home of Economy has Carhartt.

I was taken to task earlier this year when I posted a link to a story in which one analyst suggested we will see $5 gasoline this year. Well, we have $5 gasoline in Los Angeles, and it has yet to rise much following the refinery fire --> 19 cents according to Bloomberg.

Then this: it looks like oil may trend higher -- Bloomberg. 
Oil snapped two days of losses in New York on speculation that inventories declined for a third week in the U.S., the world’s biggest crude consumer. 
And, just in time for the election, gasoline prices surge above year-earlier levels -- Bloomberg.
