Oil up third day on China GDP, North Sea problems

Reuters -- Oil prices rose for a third day on Friday after China reported GDP data in line with expectations and slightly above the government's target, soothing concerns about slowing growth in the world's second largest economy.

August loadings of North Sea Forties crude may be delayed following production problems at the Buzzard oil field, which feeds into the Forties stream.

More lame excuses from greedy oil speculators. Oil prices should fall in half so that world economies can finally start to recover.

the best thing that could happen here is that we stop buying from china and start to make our own. It is the only way that we will have the power to help the world as we move forward.

The gamblers are tired of low prices. Time to make up stories to drive up prices/profits.

Problems at one North Sea oil field causes a 15 cent rise in refined product delivered in New York Harbor? BS!!

It's amazing how these daily fluctuations and occurrences sway the price of oil and gas so dramatically.
