Bold Prediction of Future Oil Price
Stepping into a leadership position among Wall Street oil observers, Barklays has boldly predicted that oil could cost as much as $137 in 2015. Right. Here’s the report:
Oil Futures Hit $137 for 2015
by Kerry Laird Rigzone Friday, February 22, 2008
Barclays Capital, a division of Barclays Bank PLC located in the U.K., has upped its projected oil cost for the year 2015 from $93 a barrel to $137 a barrel after record high prices in oil futures this week.
In 2006 after oil reached a “record-high” $75 a barrel, Barclays had made the 2015 projection of $93 a barrel.
In a Barclays research note forecasting the spike in price, analysts noted that “the remorseless move up in long-run prices has not yet fully played out.”

lol. “$93 in 2015, oh no, say it aint so!” Oil is currently selling at $136 and this is 2008.

I’ve seen something earlier today, May 6, where one logistics manager is planning on $8 per gallon fuel costs in 2010!
