also goverments take a higher tax rate the higher the price. also too much industry inflation with higher prices. better to have lower but more stable regime. less greedy goverments

[nisbet] 30/12/2011 08:39

Not correct Bear Man..Brent down 46 cents which is less than 0.4%.

[the bear man] 30/12/2011 08:32

oil price sinking now

[nisbet] 30/12/2011 08:28

Not correct bear man. Oil companies sell forward, so unless you know specifically how much future production has been sold you would have no idea what impact today's price will have on current earnings.

[the bear man] 30/12/2011 08:18

every $1 fall is lower profits.

TBM- Oil below 100 will be great for most oil companies-as long as its not below 80

[the bear man] 28/12/2011 17:31

Afternoon guys, talk about frustrating !!

The general market has sold off in the last hour after those ECB loans have shown how many banks actually need the cash..

As for BG. specific, growing unrest in Kazakhstan ?

Bloomberg

Kazakh opposition groups warned unrest may spread after at least 15 people died in riots that followed Independence Day celebrations in the Central Asian country's oil-producing province.

Demonstrators rallied in freezing wind today in the regional capital of Aktau to voice support for striking oil workers in the town of Zhanaozen, where earlier protests were centered, Vladimir Kozlov, a leader of the unregistered Alga party, told reporters in Almaty today.

"The authorities continue to ignore peaceful protests in Aktau and create grounds for a repeat of the events that happened in Zhanaozen," Kozlov said, adding that he returned to Almaty from Aktau this morning. The opposition unveiled a proposal today for an independent probe into the violence.
Kazakhstan is the second-biggest oil producer in the former Soviet Union following Russia, with output of about 1.6 million barrels a day, about the same as pre-war Libya.
It has attracted companies including Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM), Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSA), ConocoPhillips (COP), Total SA (FP), Eni SpA (ENI) and BG Group Plc. (BG/)

[melf] 21/12/2011 11:57

Any ideas why this is down this morning, particularly with the price of Crude up?

[philanderer] 19/12/2011 22:53

Who`d have thought Bank of America sub $5 !!

....Warren Buffett is now $1.5 Billion underwater on his recent purchase.

And in Europe tonight from the latest EU press release - Italy To Provide €23.5 Billion In IMF Cash To Bailout Italy !!


Markets down again tomorrow.

Yet another miserable day for equities in general.

FTSE100 -10% appx year to date with BG. about flat since january 1st.

Poor year and 2012 looks like a rerun at best.

[the bear man] 19/12/2011 10:35

is the real money from the Karachaganak deal only $111m per year over three years for BG? so much for $3bn

[philanderer] 16/12/2011 22:34

You`ve got to laugh, Fitch is just one of these rating agancies that gave those US sub prime mortgages a AAA rating just a couple of years ago.

[the bear man] 16/12/2011 20:38

BG didnt fall 5.9% but they have got very high fixed costs in some of their assets. seems to be assuming oil will bounce back up
