answer the
following questions?
This spring, natural gas inventories are marginally below the 5-year average and inventories are 47 percent higher than last year. Why, then, is the price of natural gas is higher than during last year's shortage? Oil prices have been rising despite a Saudi call to increase production and are over $10.00 per barrel higher than last year. What are the chances for prices to return to $30 per barrel and what are the risks for even higher prices? What is the
greatest short-term
risk to U.S. crude petroleum imports? We identified Venezuela as a
major
risk over a year before the supply interruption from that country. It
still
remains a potential problem. Iraq's production has approached 2.5
million
barrels per day, but attacks on pipelines cause frequent interruptions.
There are other, far greater potential risks that many fear to
consider.
