This is true.Why would oil companies keep it in the country if they can sell for more elsewhere?

This is true.
SO, is America the largest producer of oil these days?
Yeah,...those were crazy times. I hope we don't ever experience that again. Highly unlikely though. I remember paying a lot to gas up my Ram truck as well. But, I was laid off for almost 2 years during the recession, so it wasn't so bad, but gas prices were still high for a while after that fallout. I only went out when I really needed to.
****Correct me if I'm wrong someone, but isn't the U.S.A. the biggest producer of oil these days? I believe they drill up right next to Canada in North Dakota?
Why do we sell our oil overseas, if the prices are high here? Let's keep most to keep prices at bay and then sell off some. Maybe it's not that easy?? lol
I thought we would not reach that goal until 2020.This is true.

That's what I'm afraid of. Hopefully not though.Problem is, certain countries ( not us) are speculating 100+ a bbl prices... Which is a no no. Because that means a big crash will come again
I think it's close.I thought we would not reach that goal until 2020.

Wow,......very cool Steve.Tony, Russia is the worlds largest oil producer but soon to be taken over by the USA as early as 2019 according to the IEA.
Wow,......very cool Steve.
I thought we were now, obviously I misread/misheard. lol
That's awesome!We just passed Saudi Arabia to take second in the first quarter of 2018. We are set to overtake Russia very soon. Now if we can just get the gas prices down again that would be great......lol.
Anyone, why the hell don’t we have more refineries? So many got shut down in the 80-90’s. I know some of those were basically mass pollution dumps, but with today’s technology. Too much money to build new when these companies make billions? Piss me off.
That's awesome!
And yes, lower gas prices would be great! lol
****, we have more nasty ass chemical refineries than oil. Drives me nuts. I hauled petroleum products way back, and saw the demise. Some of those places where scary though. Yeah, im old. LolAny chance we could get 100 octane down to, say, $4.00 a gallon? That would be great...
If it was a regulations thing, this President is the best shot we have a getting it done.

That's good stuff.
That's what I'm afraid of. Hopefully not though.
Those were seriously tough times in 2008-2010.
I think it's close.
Up in ND, they're drilling big time.

Same reason we don't build more pipelines. ****ing tree-huggers. They got them shut down, and then kept people from building more.
Yeah, I saw a show on that actually. Now, it's filled with crime, prostitution and drugs in some towns in North Dakota.ND aint shit compared to NM/WTX. ND was 4-5 years ago when companies would pay for houses, and pay random ass 20 year olds 100k. Now... hell, within 5 miles of my station, there are roughly 14 rigs up, with plans for 45 more holes to be drilled by end of year.. just in MY area. New Mexico West Texas is the place to be.
