Wednesday, June 13, 2012, 4:40 AM The eurozone crisis helped oil prices shave off around 20% from their 2012 highs as the supply/demand ratio narrowed, according to the latest IEA report.

Wednesday, January 25, 2012, 11:43 AM Total (TOT -0.5%) stops buying oil from Iran, as per the new EU sanctions, but CEO Christophe de Margerie doubts the boycott will have a big effect on Iran or on prices.

Tuesday, September 13, 2011, 6:50 AM The IEA cut its forecast for oil demand due to a lowered GDP outlook to 1M barrels per day this year and 1.4M barrels per day in 2012.

Libya - the wildcard in the mix - is expected to produce 350K-450K daily barrels of oil, ramping up to 1.1M by the end of 2012. Comment! [Energy, Commodities]

Friday, July 15, 2011, 8:48 AM Analysts kick around the idea of more big oil breakups, but less is not always more, says FT's Lex column. Investors are applauding the spinoffs of ConocoPhillips (COP) and Marathon Oil (MRO), but a spliced-up Exxon (XOM), Chevron (CVX) or BP (BP) doesn't quite add up with their capital-intensive projects and more risk to offload.
