If it’s August in Houston it’s October HGS Bulletintime! I attended the AAPG Leadership Days in Snowbird, Utah from August 8 to 10. Getting that close to awesome geology was quite an experience.

Greetings and Happy New Year! The New Year brings us new opportunities, new decisions, and new ponderings. As I write this column, oil prices are hovering around $75 per barrel.

Well, as Christmas has come and gone, it’s time to ponder what you might want to read in February. It will be old  news by then, but gasoline is under $2.40 per gallon on the west side of Houston.

Presidential Ponderings

It’s a wet and cold day in January as I ponder what to expect from oil by the time you read this in March. As I look at the different web sites I see that the WTI price is $45.60 for February delivery and natural gas is $2.88 and gasoline by my house is $1.85 to $1.89. From last month, that’s down $30.00 for oil, about $0.84, and $0.84 respectively, from my ponderings last month. Goldman Sachs is calling for oil to fall to $40.00 and Bloomberg TV says that oil will make a significant recovery in two to three years. Forbes doesn’t know where the floor is but doesn’t expect oil to go above $60 through 2016. I have heard of early retirement packages, quiet layoffs, global layoffs, rig demobilizations, and budget cutbacks. Where will all of this take us?
