Elsewhere in this issue, we've told you about the stories we think will make news in Acadiana in the year that begins with great promise today. We're a local newspaper, so those stories focus on events that happen here at home. Now and again, it's also good to think about the way that news from beyond the borders of Louisiana and the even beyond the United States could come home:
» Oil prices. While Louisiana's economy has diversified over the 30 years since the 1980s oil glut, many of our jobs and a substantial piece of state revenue continue to rely on how much a barrel of petroleum brings. We've seen how horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have greatly increased domestic natural gas production, and how the price has been pushed down to levels near $3. Now that Gulf deepwater exploration is recovering and the new techniques are opening new inland areas to crude production, could the same thing happen to the price of oil? Don Briggs of the Louisiana Oil & Gas Association doesn't think so. Briggs makes the point that while domestic natural gas goes largely for domestic consumption, the price of oil is set by a world market. And that means U.S. energy companies can increase their production substantially without cutting their own throats.
