On Friday, Exxon Mobil Corp. reported its smallest quarterly profit in nearly 17 years — although it still earned $1.7 billion. Chevron Corp. posted its biggest loss in nearly 15 years.
The reports from the two biggest U.S. oil companies followed weak second-quarter results from BP and Royal Dutch Shell.

OIL Where’s The Oil |
Logic says that when oil prices are high, oil exploration occurs at a rapid pace, with both small wildcatters and Big Oil motivated to find new supply as fast as possible. But when oil prices are low, some exploration still needs to happen if the industry is going to survive. It takes years to take an oil well from the exploration stage to production stage, and new supply will always be needed eventually, as oil fields age and their productivity slows.
So how much exploration are we seeing? Lessvendredi 29 janvier 2016 |

OIL Oil CEO’s – Don’t Expect Oil Prices To Recover Until 2017 |
The reasons for the depressed prices aren’t news, but bear repeating: OPEC is producing at peak levels in an effort to keep prices low and starve out competitors. China’s once fire-breathing economy is slowing down, dampening its demand for oil. And, thanks to a nuclear deal with the West, Iran will rejoin the world oil market, soon cranking out an additional 500,000 barrels of oil per day.Related: Why The Oil Price Crash Is Killing The NHLThe U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reportedimanche 24 janvier 2016 |
