Hiding Bear Posted August 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Now that is just incomprehensible, HB. I have it on good authority -- Bloomberg, no less -- that the Saudis are opening new oil fields ... ahead of schedule ... yes, lots of them! Saudi Opens Fields Before Plan I was just reading an interview w/ Matt Simmons the other night. He mentioned these two fields: By 1977 they turned Qatif into a storage cabin for excess naphthalene at the Western Oil Refinery on the knowledge that it might destroy the reservoir. They didn?t care. The average H2S cut is about 10 to 20%, and H2S [hydrogen sulfide] if you breathe it, it kills you instantly. Qatif is a very complicated field. They think that they're going to be able to produce this field at 500,000 b/d for 30 years. I think, watching this, if you can watch it with any quality of information, will be one of the really telltale signs, because if this fails everything they have behind it gets worse. Then they have a field called Abu Sa'fah which they share production with Bahrain, and in fact Bahrain?s paying for the project. They?ve already placed the world?s largest order for electric submersible pumps. Well, for 30 or 40 years you didn?t need to use a pump in Saudi Arabia to produce oil. You used a wellhead being shut-in to keep the oil from flowing more, so these are the next two best things they have to bring on. Interview at Global Public Media Edit, I had the wrong URL. Saudi Aramco, the kingdom's national oil company, said the new fields should eventually boost the country's output capacity by 800,000 barrels a day. Saudi Arabian oil officials have previously said that much of their new production from new was due to replace older wells, which were depleted, and the mothballing of other oil fields. However, they said the closure of the older fields may now be delayed in light of the strong demand for crude. FT So oil fields the Saudis said that were depleted are suddenly not depleted?

Pee Brain Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 SIX AL-QAEDA OPERATIVES MAY BE INSIDE USA . PAKISTANI SOURCE INTERCEPTED THE COMMUNICATIONS OF A/Q COMPUTER EXPERT WITH OPERATIVES IN BRITAIN AND THE USA . SOME OPERATIVES IN BRITAIN HAVE BEEN ARRESTED . you can almost guarantee that 6 operatives are here; thats one problem with the homeland security approach. its impossible to stop attacks, particularly in ST. so, the approach should have a longer term view, not trying to imply that we will stop every attack, but trying to set-up the structure of defense and try to destroy their network. if osama gets dead, its not gonna stop AQ. its a religious war with reactionary zealots. if you accept the above, then you accept that ShittiGroup and Wall Street would be logical targets and plan accordingly.. also, if you'd already accepted that operatives are here, the recent news would not be news worthy. the approach is wrong, we're jumping around like bedbugs.

beardrech Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Airlines May Lose $6 Billion on Higher Oil, IATA Says (Update1) Aug. 4 (Bloomberg) -- Airlines will lose as much as a combined $6 billion this year on international routes if oil prices stay at the record highs reached today, the International Air Transport Association said. ``We went from forecasting a gain of $3 billion at the beginning of the year to a $6 billion loss now,'' said Anthony Concil, a spokesman for IATA in Geneva. Brent crude oil for September settlement rose to $40.99 a barrel, beating the intraday record of $40.95 of Oct. 10, 1990, on London's International Petroleum Exchange. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, crude for September delivery climbed to a record of $44.34 a barrel. Yesterday it closed above $44 for the first time since the contract was introduced in 1983. IATA, which represents more than 270 airlines worldwide, had based its original prediction for a profitable year on an average price of $30 per barrel for brent crude oil. Giovanni Bisignani, the association's director general, said June 7 that the industry would break even if the price averaged $33 a barrel this year. http://quote.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=1...C0&refer=europe Many airlines contremplating the following: Getting Malaysia to manufacture jumbo collosasal rubber bands for attaching to Indonesian balsam wood propellors (low paid techs to wind rubber bands prior to take off Shutting down at least one engine upon reaching cruising altitude Discounting tickets to passsengers lunching on Slimfast Devoting special aircraft for ex-airborne soldiers and bungee jumpers willing to bail out at their destination nullifying the need for multiple landings and takeoffs beardrech How do you feel flying those friendly skies when half of the ground crew and pi;ot staff are in danger of losing their jobs??????

Drano Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 I remember a cartoon which greatly amused me when I was a kid. A cat (Sylvester, maybe?) was falling down a flight of stairs, and as he landed on each step he cried out in turn: "Eeech, I-ch, oooch, ouch! Eeech, I-ch, ooch, ouch!" I just looked at the futures. The cat sums up my feelings exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zensmoke Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Bank rate set to rise to 4.75pc Aug 5 2004 Homeowners today faced a fifth hike in interest rates since November as the Bank of England prepares for further action to keep inflation in check. With the economy picking up and consumers still spending strongly, the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) looks certain to lift its base rate to 4.75%. The widely-expected quarter of a percentage point rise - due to be announced at noon following a two-day meeting of the MPC - will add another A?10 to monthly repayments on the average mortgage of A?65,000. http://ichuddersfield.icnetwork.co.uk/0100...-name_page.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
