I know a lot about Kazakhstan's oil fields, not the last ones in the world. It's also my way to try myself in english speaking talks.


How was your weather this winter? How is your economy there? It is hard to get news from your country here in Toledo.

.
OPEC was set up , with US good office ,to keep the price of crude low .
Once this is considered , the whole policy make sense
certainly more than some "market share" idea , Saudi Arabia could have increased it's market share easily enough without driving the price down to 20$/b ,
obeying their Washington master to hurt Russia sound like a better theory, they just got caught with it

?????
I thought OPEC was set up to agree upon crude production quotas which keep the prices higher, not lower.

"Also to maintain market stability". And as Dr. Phil would ask: "How's that working for you?" The only truly effective cartel to stabilize prices was run by the Texas Rail Road Commission. From the after WWII to the early 70's prices slowly declined but in a very controlled mode. See chart:

http://www.macrotrends.net/1369/crude-o ... tory-chart

Which is remarkable given this was a boom time period in Texas when some of the most prolific oil trends of all time were developed. It controlled oil production rates by using the proration regulation: the TRRC would monthly set the % of oil every well in Texas. And it controlled the global price of oil because at this time Texas was THE source of oil exports for the entire world. The law developed out of the boom brought on by the discovery of the giant East Texas oil field:

"The State proration regulations of the East Texas Field are based upon the Oil and Gas Conservation Act enacted in 1919 by the State Legislature under authority of a constitutional amendment voted August 31, 1917, which required the Legislature to pass laws for conservation and development of the natural resources of the state. The Oil and Gas Conservation Act of 1919 prohibited production of crude oil “in such manner and under such conditions as to constitute waste” and the Texas Railroad Commission was charged with doing “all things necessary for the conservation of oil” and with establishment of “such rules and regulations as will be necessary to conserve the oil and gas resources in the state.”

To conserve the oil and gas resources: read to not sell those resources cheap. Violations of the proration regs in the East Texas Field led the governor to declare marshal law, sent in the state guard, arrested some operators and shut the entire field in.

But that came crashing to a halt just as US oil production peaked, domestic consumption boomed post war and the giant ME fields were being developed. But the TRRC still has the authority to reduce the production of every oil well in the state: each month the commissioners set the allowable percentage. Since the early 70's it has been set every month at 100%.

Sub - I assume he meant Bristol. I wonder how things are going with the Bristol Energy Cooperative:

http://www.bristolenergy.coop

"Our third fund-raise aims to finance an ambitious portfolio of solar projects to Bristol and Somerset. Together we've raised over £10m. Our share offer is now closed. Thanks to all our investors and supporters!"

So lisonperry: anything like that going on in your neighborhood?

I've been one the last 2 years again, my family has been in Vic since 1828. I'm writing from the midst of a 100 acre paddock surrounded by old dry stone walls, 20 km SW of the CBD- my 'town camp'. I drive trucks out of Laverton North every weekday, pretty much everywhere in Melbourne + every 2 weeks I drive up over the border & back, usually through Echuca/ Moama. I guess you are up Broadford way- where the scalies are (oz slang for truck safety crocodiles).

Northerners call southerners Mexicans here. It's a load of bullshit though because everyone up there except the northern Aborigines migrated from the south of Australia.

Hi Thomas:

Welcome to PeakOil.com.

I clicked on your link and made a short visit to Planet Mazanec and read a few of the sections. First I read the section where you discuss your Aspergers syndrome and then went on to a couple of the other sections.

You write in a very clear way, and your website is interesting to look through. Some of the sections about your personal life and your family are very moving.

Good luck to you.

CHEERS!
