But, once again, the dismal trend continued as the Caps lost Game 7 in the first round of the National Hockey League playoffs. .... http://www.eia.gov/oog/info/twip/twiparch/2013/130508/twipprint.html ############# EST Mexico is a net exporter of oil by the broadest measure that encompasses both crude oil and petroleum products. However, like many other major oil producing countries, it depends on cross-border and global trade to meet its need for petroleum products. Most of Mexico's petroleum trade is with the United States, the destination for most of Mexico's crude exports and the source of most of its refined product imports. .... http://www.eia.gov/oog/info/twip/twiparch/2013/130501/twipprint.html ############# EST U.S. crude oil production has been rising in recent years following a decline from 9 million barrels per day (bbl/d) in 1985 to 5 million bbl/d in 2008 (Figure 1). Production was 6.5 million bbl/d in 2012 and EIA's latest Short-Term Energy Outlook forecasts production of 8.2 million bbl/d by the end of 2014, driven by the continued rapid pace of tight oil development that almost exclusively produces light crude. .... http://www.eia.gov/oog/info/twip/twiparch/2013/130424/twipprint.html ############# EST Since reaching a 2013 high of $119 per barrel in mid-February, the spot price of Brent crude oil, the global seaborne light sweet benchmark crude, fell by $19 per barrel, settling at $100 per barrel on April 22 (Figure 1). Concerns over global macroeconomic growth, a seasonal decline in European and Asian refinery runs, and an increase in North Sea production have been cited as fundamentals driving Brent prices lower. Over this same period, the price of Louisiana Light Sweet (LLS) crude on the U.S. Gulf Coast also declined for the same reasons. However, the price declined less as U.S. refiners on the Gulf Coast completed refinery maintenance and increased crude runs and as supplies of LLS were disrupted by pipeline problems. As a result, the differential between LLS and Brent topped $7/bbl, its widest level in recent years (Figure 2). More recently, as LLS supply disruptions eased, the LLS-Brent differential is returning to its recent parity. ....
