Many of the energy companies located on the Gulf of Mexico have shut down in preparation for Hurricane Gustav. Three fourths of companies brace for the hurricane to hit the oil patches. According to the United States Minerals Management, 76.8 percent of the Gulf?s crude oil production and 37 percent of its natural gas production were closed. Forecasters predict that Gustav will be as strong as Hurricane Katrina back in 2005. According to Richard Knabb, a senior hurricane specialist at the U.S. National Hurricane Center, it is ?plain and simple, Gustav is forecast to be a large and powerful hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, headed toward the northern Gulf coast.? According to analysts, if the Tropical Storm Hanna, currently in the Atlantic, strikes offshore production areas, oil prices could once again skyrocket. ?You'll get all this money that will come back into the energy markets again,? said Planlytics analyst Paul Corby. Corby admits that due to the storms, oil could rise as much as $10 per barrel. U.S. crude oil prices were at an all time high in July at $147.27 per barrel, however, prices have fallen to $115.46 per barrel as of Friday. The New York Mercantile Exchange has moved the start time for Sunday?s electronic trading of energy contracts to 2:30 p.m. EDT from 6 p.m. EDT. After Hurricane Katrina hit and Rita followed, 124 oil platforms were temporarily out of service, and placed an approximate 30 percent of refineries in the dark. A quarter of the offshore oil production was shut down for another nine months. The Gulf coast provides a quarter of U.S. oil output and an additional 15 percent in natural gas production. Currently, Gustav has affected 10 percent of refining operations. Two refineries adjacent to New Orleans have shut down as of Saturday, and at least five other operations were at reduced capacity or suspended, with a total capacity of 1.16 million bpd. According to a spokeswoman for the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, the only one in the United States capable of offloading giant tankers has stopped unloading tankers. The port continued to supply refiners from onshore tanks. The state is shutting down a 256,000 barrel-per-day operation in Garyville, Louisiana and Murphy Oil said it was shutting down a 120,000 bpd plant. The nation?s leading energy provider, Valero Energy Corp., said it was going to reduce production at the St. Charles, Louisiana facility as well as their Port Arthur, Houston, and Texas City operations in Texas on Saturday. The four refineries have a total production capacity of 920,000 bpd. ConocoPhillips noted their facility was reduced to 247,000 bpd and some workers were told to stay home. Motiva Enterprises also sent workers home as it reduces its facility to 236,000 bpd. Shell, the leader in oil production at 370,000 bpd, noted it will shut down all oil and natural gas production operations by Saturday afternoon.

New Orleans braces for hurricane on Katrina anniversary As it prepares to mark the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans has been forced to draw up an emergency evacuation plan to deal with tropical storm Gustav, which is was predicted to reach hurricane strength in the Gulf of Mexico. The storm has already killed 22 people in Haiti and the Dominican Republic and today it moved away from the Central American coast and into the Caribbean. The eye of the storm was expected to pass Jamaica today as it sweeps towards the United States. The National Hurricane Centre in Miami predicts that it will grow in power as it approaches Louisiana over the weekend. US National Guard troops are standing by as residents prepare to mark the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Ray Nagin, the mayor of New Orleans, left the Democratic National Convention in Denver to return home for the preparations. Some of the residents, who were displaced personally or knew victims of Katrina, were watching the weather forecast with trepidation. ?I?m panicking,? said Evelyn Fuselier of Chalmette, whose home was submerged in 14 feet of floodwater when Katrina hit. Ms Fuselier returned to her house exactly one year ago, and now she is terrified that her ordeal could be repeated: ?I keep thinking: Did the Corps fix the levees? Is my house going to flood again? Am I going to have to go through all this again?? Govwernor Bobby Jindal has declared a state of emergency to lay the groundwork for federal assistance, and put 3,000 National Guard troops on standby. City officials have begun preliminary planning to evacuate and lock down the city to ensure there would be no repeat of the disaster following the 2005 storm. There will be no mass shelter like the one at the Superdome last time around. Instead the state has arranged for buses and trains to take people further away from the coast. Steve Weaver, 82, and his wife stayed for Katrina and had to be plucked off the roof of their house by a Coast Guard helicopter. This time, Mr Weaver has no inclination to ride out the storm. ?Everybody learned a lesson about staying, so the highways will be twice as packed this time,? he said. Since Hurricane Katrina, the Army Corps of Engineers has spent billions of dollars to improve the levee system, but because of two quiet hurricane seasons, the flood walls have never been tested. A day after stalling off Haiti?s coast, Gustav was today centred about 80 miles east of Kingston, Jamaica, and moving toward the west-southwest near 8 mph. The National Hurricane Centre expects the storm to pass very close to Jamaica later today. Its maximum sustained winds were near 50 mph. Forecasters have predicted that Gustav could strengthen to a Category 3 hurricane with winds of 111 mph or higher in the coming days before landing on US soil somewhere between the Florida Panhandle and Texas. The storm formed on Monday before going onshore near the southern Haitian city of Jacmel with top winds near 90 mph on Monday. It triggered flooding and landslides that killed 23 people in the Caribbean. It weakened into a tropical storm and appeared headed for Jamaica, though it is likely to grow stronger in the coming days by drawing energy from warm, open water. * Have your say I visited New Orleans in July and got to know a lot of people there, particularly at the Audubon Institute. This is a city that needs to be taken care of, it's a place like no other I've visited and should be treated as such by the Federal Govt. and the state govt. not conveniently forgotten Keith Thomas, Tavistock, UK New Orleans needs residents who work & pay taxes instead ofliving every day with their hands out waiting for something free. That city has become the essence of the failure of welfare. I am. Personally tired of wasting money on a city not fit for human habitation. Rosalie gray, new orleans, usa The levees are no better than they were pre Katrina. We've had 3 years to get more concrete levees added around the lake but only piles of dirt have been pushed up in some areas. the government has spent millions sending help to other countries and to other states. New Orleans needs more help now dsullivan, attleboro, USA

This is Just Out rage OPEC president predicts oil price at level of $400 per barrel Baku, Fineko/abc.az. Yesterday the price of oil per barrel at the New York Mercantile Exchange exceeded $140 and reached $140.39 per barrel at the moment of closing of bids. Khabib Khalil, the president of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, stated in this connection that before the end of the summer the oil price can grow up to $170 per barrel in case the European Central Bank increases the rate. ?Price of oil, gold and other primary goods rose after American Federal Reserve System stopped increasing its rate. Dollar fall under such conditions leads to rise in prices for raw materials at the market. Moreover, in the future oil price can jump up to $200 and even up to $400 per barrel if political crisis with Iran leads to stoppage of oil production in this country,? Khalil said. Recently the European Union has toughened sanctions against Iran because of suspicion of military purposefulness of its nuclear program. Against the background of the latest events US Congress?s attempts to investigate wildcatters? intrigues in growth of oil prices are going to become inefficient as well as Saudi Arabia?s investments ($1 bn) in the fund of oil price growth compensation.

I got Gas Last Night its Now $4.09 thats Up 20 Cents from 2 days ago Just wait till July4th wow or if Theres a Hurricane in The Gulf

Gas price no barrel of laughs Saturday, June 07, 2008 Daily news -- Fasten your seat belt and brace yourself for a 25-cent jump as early as Saturday when you gas up your car - the result of two days of record jumps in the price of oil, experts said. An $11 rise in the price of a barrel was just one of the Wall Street numbers sprinting in the wrong direction Friday, dealing a fresh flurry of blows to the punch-drunk economy

Everyone Stock Up Now Gas is Headed for $10 a Gallon end of Next week Fill Up and stock Up Now Hurry or Get a Bike its only way to Go

Oil surges $11 to record $138 Crude skyrockets on a sliding dollar, geopolitics and a Wall Street report predicting $150-a-barrel oil. NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Oil prices shot up nearly $11 a barrel and settled Friday at a record $138.54 on geopolitical jitters, a dollar decline and a forecast that oil would hit $150 by July 4. Friday's spike in the July contract for light crude on the New York Mercantile Exchange marks the largest singe-day increase in oil prices on record. The contract hit an intraday record of $139.12, breaking the previous trading record of $135.09. "The bulls are running rampant and the bears have panicked," said oil industry analyst Stephen Schork, editor of the Schork Report. "It's pure hysteria, absolute panic," he added. The rally highlighted concerns that retail gas prices, which have surged near a nationwide average of $4 a gallon, will continue to crimp consumer spending and fuel inflation. Stocks fell more than 400 points Friday due to the rally in crude prices and a report from the Labor Department that showed the unemployment rate rose to 5.5% in May from 5% in April, the biggest monthly jump in more than two decades. The economy lost 49,000 jobs, marking the fifth straight month of job losses. Meanwhile, the dollar continued its slide versus the euro on the weak jobs report and comments Thursday that the European Central Bank could potentially raise interest rates. The dollar also tanked versus the yen. Concerns about instability in the Middle East flared after hawkish comments from Israeli Deputy Prime Minister, Shaul Mofaz, about possible attacks on Iran. Also contributing to the surge: Morgan Stanley (MS, Fortune 500) analyst Ole Slorer released a report saying that he expected a "short-term spike in oil prices," as high as $150 a barrel by July 4. Softening dollar The dollar began its slide Thursday after European Central Bank president Jean-Claude Trichet said the bank might raise interest rates, which would strengthening the value of the euro. If the euro gains, oil becomes cheaper, European investors buy more oil, raising the price of oil in U.S. dollars, according to Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at Alaron Trading. The "European Central Bank pulled the rug out from under us," said Flynn. Trichet's comments came the day after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said he wanted to try to support the dollar to bring energy prices into check. "The two central banks are out of step with each other," he said. Global demand, especially for gas and distillates in emerging markets, supported the record build in crude prices. However, the governments of a number of countries, such as India and Malaysia, have started lifting their government fuel subsidies, prompting gas prices to rise in those nations.
