Rising Oil Prices Paint Rosy Outlook for FTTN in 2012
22.05.12
Many analysts say that crude oil will rise for the fourth year in a row
to a new record average price in 2012. Based on the median of 27 analyst
estimates compiled by Bloomberg , West Texas Intermediate oil on
the New York Mercantile Exchange will reach an average of $100 a barrel
in 2012, topping the all-time high of $99.75 set in 2008.
Evidence that stimulus measures are reviving the U.S. economy while
countries such as India and Brazil keep expanding is raising the outlook
for oil consumption next year. Global demand will climb 1.4 percent,
with China accounting for more than a 10th of the amount used, according
to the International Energy Agency.
"The global oil market is very tight," said FTTN CEO Robert Federowicz.
"Global GDP and energy demand are growing fast, and oil prices are on
track to average over $100 a barrel in 2012. These are ideal conditions
for us to expand into the oil and gas industry."
