#2 Light crude closed at $91.55 a bbl today, and is expected to reach $100 bbl before too long. Already, some are suggesting gasoline in the $4-$5/gal range.

Hopefully there will be godawful political pressure put on those weeners to open up domestic production.

#3 Obama wants higher gas prices. It will encourage conservation, reduce CO2 emissions, lower the oceans, save the penguins, and bring the dawning of a new era of peace, prosperity, and kumbaya. Also, damage the economy and increase unemployment.

#4 there are formations like the Bakkan in Australia and France (yes, really, France - its called the Paris formation)

probably there are others yet to be fully explored and appraised

American technology will be used in those places.

#5 LOL, so odd to see a news story on where I am and what I'm doing. I'm in North Dakota right now on a rig drilling down into the Three Forks. Most likely this is where I'll be for the next few years as well. Halliburton Sperry Drilling is really ramped up to work on this area. It does tend to be cold and 'going to town' doesn't quite mean the same thing when the town has a listed population of 35 people.

Still, it's fun and profitable up here, I enjoy my work as an MWD and there's tons of snow and ice. I could do without the -35 degree wind chill when it's already -14.

#6 Hard to imagine Larry Hagman in a TV show called Dickinson. At least I visited before it went big time.

#7 Nice news, but pales in comparison to US Net imports of 9,226,000 barrels a day as of 12/30/2010.
