Oil and Gas by the Numbers 03/25/2011

Good Afternoon! There are lots of new things going on in the oil and gas world this week.  The price of oil this afternoon is currently at $105.13/barrel.  I am interested to see what impact the new permits in the Gulf will have on future oil prices.  I am also watching the new list of permits requested in the Niobrara on the Wyoming side of the formation.  National rig count is up again by a total of 18 rigs. That is about twice the jump we have seen so far this month.
