Hi all, Seems someone is getting really rich from all these Oil price increases. It’s almost as if it is the oil companies themselves are deliberately driving the prices up to make bigger profits. One thing that gets me is they say the price of a barrel of oil is now $71 because of fears of disruptions to the supply with the troubles over Iran and Iraq, but not all the worlds oil comes from there, do the oil companies not have vast oil reserves in oil fields in Alaska, the US, South America, Russia, UK and other countries outside of the middle east?
