Yup you are.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I'd buy right now if you want to see that price before it goes up again. This is the most volitile market there is at the moment. You think steel is out of control this is worse......

Last month, Ivan blew through the eastern gulf, taking dead aim at many of the new deepwater facilities that produce more than half of the oil from the gulf. "Ivan picked the big boys to fight," says Allan Verret, executive director of the Offshore Operators Committee, a trade association. And for now, Ivan is mostly winning the fight. The storm damaged numerous platforms' water systems and electricity generators, making it impossible to keep workers on the facilities overnight, Mr. Verret says.

Nasty weather has slowed repair work. After Ivan barreled ashore near Mobile, Ala., on Sept. 16, it split in two and one part blew back through the gulf a week later with 60-mile-an-hour winds. That and subsequent, smaller storms forced energy companies to suspend helicopter flights and bring a flotilla of repair boats back to shore. Enercast.com, an energy-price and weather forecasting firm in Denver, says the seas have been too rough to do repair work on 75% of the days since Ivan's first landfall. "That's very high," says Agbeli Ameko, an Enercast.com partner, who sees oil prices hitting $55 a barrel in the current run-up.

ChevronTexaco Corp. spokesman Matt Carmichael says the weather has been cooperative only in the past week. Company crews are trying to assess damage to Chevron's Petronius platform, which was lashed by 60-foot-high waves.

After basic repair work to the platform, which is about 90 miles south of Mobile, is finished, the company will start to look underwater to see if anchors and pipes need work. "Until we can finish that detailed assessment, it will be difficult to say when Petronius will get back on line," says Mr. Carmichael. That means a daily loss of 53,000 barrels of crude oil and 97 million cubic feet of natural gas. that Petronius normally produces. Rough seas also delayed robotic vehicles from inspecting the underwater portion of producing platforms. It took Dominion Resources Inc. a week before it was satisfied that its Devils Tower platform was safe.

Home heating bills will be substantially higher this winter than last, with the biggest price shocks looming for consumers in New England and the upper Midwest, the Energy Department said.

In issuing its annual winter forecast, the department's Energy Information Administration said that while temperatures are likely to be in the normal range, prices of heating oil, propane and natural gas will rise far above normal, even in areas where fuel demands drop.

Fuel costs are expected to rise by 28% in New England, which depends mainly on home heating oil. In the upper Midwest, propane prices are expected to increase by 21% and natural-gas prices by 15%.
