Oil slips below $35

Crude prices end lower Wednesday morning as recession weighs on demand and inventories are set to continue rising.

Last Updated: February 18, 2009: 3:53 PM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Oil prices fell nearly 1% to below $35 a barrel Wednesday as dealers bet that slumping fuel demand in top consumer the United States has forced crude inventories to an 11-year high.
U.S. crude for March delivery slipped 31 cents to settle at $34.62 a barrel, while U.S. crude for April delivery fell $1.13 to $37.41 and London Brent for April delivery fell $1.48 to $39.55.
The losses came as dealers anticipated a report from the American Petroleum Institute to be released Wednesday afternoon would show crude stockpiles in the United States rose last week by 3 million barrels to the highest since May 1998.[more]

Oil above $35 amid grim economic news
Thursday February 19, 9:06 am ET
By Jake Neubacher, Associated Press Writer Oil rises above $35 as slide in dollar offsets grim US economic news
VIENNA (AP) -- Markets shrugged off a steady barrage of grim U.S. economic news to push oil prices above $35 a barrel Thursday, with a drop in the dollar encouraging investors to buy crude.
A report by the Fed predicting a sharper economic contraction and raising forecasts for unemployment was offset by a 1.1 percent drop in the dollar against the euro, to $1.2667. Oil tends to rise when the dollar drops as investors use the commodity as a hedge against inflation.
Light, sweet crude for March delivery jumped by $1.23 to $35.85 a barrel by midafternoon in Europe on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract on Wednesday fell 31 cents to settle at $34.62.
The March contract expires on Friday, and traders switched their focus to the April contract, which rose 62 cents to $38.03.
Besides the boost oil prices received from the drop in the dollar, the economic news was gloomy.
The Federal Reserve on Wednesday confirmed what many investors already suspected -- that the U.S. economy has significantly deteriorated in the last few months.
The Fed said it expects the economy will contract between 0.5 and 1.3 percent this year. Its previous forecast from November had a 0.2 percent contraction as the worst case scenario. The Fed also said the unemployment rate will likely rise to between 8.5 and 8.8 percent this year, higher than its previous forecast of between 7.1 and 7.6 percent [more]

Spoke too soon... It's either my fault or perhaps the dollar had something to do with this "sudden jump."

Alaska's Department of Environmental Conservation confirmed that 11 wells were shut down temporarily because of the incident, affecting 1,300 to 1,400 barrels of oil production a day.

BP is working on rerouting production from the wells so they can be restarted.

It was reported that production at Prudhoe Bay averaged more than 390,000 barrels a day. The oil field has had a series of spills in recent years that have led to heightened oversight by state and federal regulators.

Doesn't Alaskan oil get shipped to Asia or Japan anyway?

Maybe most of it, but its also main supply for Pacific NW States west of Cascades, ie majority of the population-maybe down into northern CA-not sure of that part tho.
