Experts

Continued from page 1

What little crude there is on the market

is selling at usurious prices. The energy

companies deny responsibility for the

price inflation. In their view, the global

economy has overwhelmed any efforts at

price controls. By this logic, it is the cus-

tomer’s rampant demand that is setting

the price.

Some may ask, whatever happened to

market competition? Economics 101

professors are clear in their explanation

of how industry competition benefits the

consumer. But today’s oil industry is far

different than it was in the 1970s.

Mergers and acquisitions have trans-

formed the marketplace. Companies that

were once big are now enormous.

Historically, oil companies have resisted

consolidation, eager to guard their piece

of the pie. But as that pie has dwindled,

these companies first accepted, and then

embraced a merger & acquisition policy

as a way to stay afloat in turbulent times.

The situation is bleak. But one compa-

ny, TransGlobal, presents itself as a small

light at the end of the tunnel. CEO

Harold Kingman announced in Davos

last month that his company will soon

begin drilling in Egypt. TGE engineers

have developed new technology that, if

successful, will unlock the Egyptian oil

reserves previously thought too expen-

sive to extract.

In an effort condemned by other oil

conglomerates as predatory pricing,

TransGlobal is pricing its crude at 10%

below the set commodity price of $75 a

barrel. TGE traders are forthright about

their belief that now is the time to capture

market share, in anticipation of a coming

oil glut.

This scenario holds its own dangers. If

TransGlobal succeeds in pushing other

energy companies out of the market,

competition disappears — and with it,

the built-in market mechanisms that keep

prices competitive.

But that problem is theoretical. Today’s

crisis is real.
