"barrel meter"

Don't know if anyone's seen this before - highly speculative view of the world and long term oil pricing.

Huge amount of background data described and some really interesting charts.

Make of it what you wish. Have fun....




The Barrel Meter offers a visual depiction of Trendlines Research's analysis of the price components of the monthly avg for the three dozen weighted blends comprising USA contract crude oil as monitored by EIA. The detailed study of the forcings affecting Crude Price from 1999 to 2007 allowed Trendlines Research to provide real-time guidance and dissection of the factors in play during the historic 2008 spike. The importing of future Surplus Capacity & Extraction Cost stats from my Peak Scenario-2500 production profile model into the Barrel Meter enabled development of an outlook module capable of forecasting component prices on a 23 year+ horizon.
