They strike oil every day... By Keith Kohl | Tuesday, May 13th, 2014 Nowhere else in the world are people more used to the boom and bust of the oil industry than in Texas. I think it's safe to say that nearly all of us have heard of the historic gushers in the state's history — and the famous Lucas Gusher at Spindletop is arguably the most famous of them. That single exploratory well in Beaumont started it all for the Lone Star State. And while the image of 100,000 barrels of oil exploding out of the top of one well is impressive, I feel it pales in comparison to the Beaumont scenery just two years afterwards... By 1904, production at Spindletop had dwindled to just 10,000 barrels per day. Advertisement "Oil Flows Like Water" in Petroplex It isn't some fictional wildcatter's Shangri-La. It's real, and it's in Texas... That's right, the original home of the oil baron will once again make millionaires. Here's your chance to be among them, with a little known $8 driller that's poised to double or even triple your investment. If you read one thing today, read this special report. About two decades later, another exploratory well — the Santa Rita No. 1 — was drilled in West Texas and kick-started an oil boom that lasted seven decades. The oil bust that took place after prices collapsed in 1981, however, is still fresh in Texans' memories. Production plummeted from 2.5 million barrels per day that year to just over 1 million barrels per day in 2007. Now, it seems Texas is getting a third chance at an oil boom. And this time around, it has to last... for the sake of all of us. Trade Better, Trade Smarter Of all the factors out there that can make the U.S. oil boom go bust, one of the largest threats is low prices. After all, this is exactly what drove drillers in the lower-48 states to all but abandon natural gas for more liquids-rich prospects. But how much of a decline are we talking about here? A month and a half ago, Wood Mackenzie contended that with crude trading for over $108 per barrel in London, virtually all our tight oil reserves are economical. In fact, their principal downstream research analyst, Harold York, pointed out recently that at least 70% of proved light oil reserves from tight plays would be profitable even if global oil prices fell to $75 per barrel. Below, you'll see that the last time Brent prices were that low was four years ago. In fact, that can also be said for Western Texas Intermediate, which trades at a discount to the global benchmark.

Of course, with the exception of one slight dip in 2012, Brent crude has steadily traded in triple digits the entire time. Truth is, I love seeing the doom-and-gloom oil price forecasts, which always seem to flood my email inbox whenever oil breaks $100 per barrel. Has $100 per barrel become the new normal? Perhaps a better question is whether we can afford to let crude prices fall below $75 for an extended period of time.

A deal that's about to let four tiny gas companies reel in profit margins 1,740% LARGER than anyone else in the business. A deal so profitable, we've never seen anything like it before. A deal that could hand you more money than you know what to do with! The short presentation — available here — reveals every last detail. Even though oil consumption in the United States is roughly 18.5 million barrels per day, demand has been relatively flat for the past two decades: Click Chart to Enlarge Thing is, we're talking about a staggering amount of oil. Then again, if you think we are swimming in crude oil right now, you're wrong. Assuming the EIA was correct after reporting that U.S. oil production would reach 9.6 million barrels per day in 2019 (for now, let's give them the benefit of the doubt), our daily output would increase by about 1.6 million barrels per day over the next five years. Needless to say, nearly all of this would come from tight oil production in the lower-48 states. Unfortunately, that amount is far from fully replacing the 7.2 million barrels of crude oil we currently import every day. There's no question that we're more dependent on our tight oil resources than most realize. In other words, crude prices suddenly plummeting to levels that would render our tight oil reserves uneconomical could be potentially disastrous. Yet navigating our way through today's tight oil boom is much more difficult. In short, everyday investors who don't have a proven system to help them take advantage of this sector need to find a way to pinpoint those explosive opportunities ahead.
