		Crude oil is the mixture of petroleum liquids and gases (together with associated impurities) pumped out of the ground by oil wells.
		The price of oil fluctuates quite widely as it is strongly controlled by the levels of supply from OPEC.
		Crude oil, like coal and natural gas, is generally held to be the product of compression of ancient vegetation over geological timescales.

	Oil Companies in Iraq: A Century of Rivalry and War - Global Policy Forum - UN Security Council
		This paper will argue that the war was primarily a “war for oil” in which large, multinational oil companies and their host governments acted in secret concert to gain control of Iraq's fabulous oil reserves and to gain leverage over other national oil producers.
		Several elements contribute to make the case for an oil war: the enormous, long-term political influence of the oil companies, the close personal ties between the companies and their host governments, the long history of prior conflicts and wars over Iraqi oil, and the enormous potential profitability of the Iraqi fields.
		Those who deny oil company complicity in the Iraq War always insist that the companies have little political influence, that they are “out of the loop” in Washington, that they are just one industry group among many others.

	Econbrowser: Oil at $15-30 a barrel?
		We have maybe 30 years left of $30 oil but we have an infinite supply of $90 oil because at $90 with no threat of being crushed by a cartel a lot of the things we use oil for are economical to do in other ways.
		Posted by: Stuart Staniford at February 23, 2006 09:03 AM It is obviously a good argument that if "an oil company" had a possible project, and if they had the opportunity to pay the costs of that project by selling a portion of the output under futures contracts, they would do so.
		Posted by: oil supply at April 3, 2006 05:58 PM I find it quite interesting, as to why we are running out of oil now, and not, in the 1990's when our economy was doing much better.

	Business World News : Vast work remains to revive Iraq oil sector, says report (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Bush administration had hoped that Iraq’s vast oil reserves of 115bn barrels, the third-largest on the globe, would be the main revenue source to help rebuild the country.
		Oil is the mainstay of Iraq’s economy, accounting for 70 per cent of its gross domestic product and providing 95 per cent of government revenues.
		Oil revenues are politically divisive because the Iraqi constitution “leaves the door open for regions to take the lead” in developing oil fields, the report said.

	Argan oil as a geographic indication
		In a addition to being used as a tradition medicine, argan oil is a staple in the Berber diet, usually eaten on bread or in amul, a sweet oil and almond paste used like peanut butter.
		In this way argan oil will not be recognized by all countries, but at least by the ones to which it has made itself most vulnerable to imports.
		Since argan oil is still a monopoly in Morocco, and does not contribute significantly to overall GDP, it does not seem that obtaining a geographic indication for argan oil would be a high priority for the government of Morocco in the short term.

		Oil tanker capacity for trans-oceanic shipping is also 100% reserved for the forseeable future, and shipping costs have nearly tripled [more info].
		Because oil is priced in dollars, no matter where in the world it comes from, producers want higher prices in order to maintain their income.
		Although the price of oil is ultimately governed by supply and demand -- with the greatest demand in the US (25% of world oil consumption; 45% of world gasoline consumption) and two-thirds of US demand in the transportation sector -- nervousness on the part of oil traders also impacts the short-term price.

	CorpWatch : Venezuela: The Fight to Regain Position in Oil Market
		CARACAS-- Venezuela's state oil monopoly, PDVSA, one of the biggest companies in the Southern Hemisphere, is facing the challenge of holding onto its status as one of the world's leading oil firms after a two-month lockout that crippled output and the dismissal of nearly half of the company's executives.
		Venezuela's oil output, which officially stood at 2.8 million barrels a day in November, "has recovered, and now amounts to 3.2 million barrels a day, 2.5 million of which belong to PDVSA, and the rest" to joint ventures with foreign firms, said the president of the company, Al Rodrguez.
		In the medium-term, he said, Iraq could see its pre-war oil output of 2.5 million barrels a day rise two or threefold, "because Iraqi crude is light and sweet," which means it is easy to refine and has low sulfur and nitrogen contents.

	Raising Taxes on Oil Companies Is No Way To Reduce Gas Prices
		Indeed, the price of oil was well under $20 per barrel for most of the 1990s, reaching a low near $10 per barrel as recently as 1998.
		If American oil companies have to endure periods of low oil prices but must forfeit extra proceeds to the government during times of high prices, they would undertake much less exploration and drilling.
		It would change the manner in which oil companies value their inventories so as to capture an additional $4.33 billion in tax revenues over the next two years.
