Right now Africa is very often mentioned by China's oil companies as an important place.

I think there will be a series of incremental moves over the course of the year, but I'm still not sure what kind of mechanism they'll use.

Overall Asia's choices are limited, they have to face the consequences if there is an interruption. Its very hard for Asia to find any other source for its oil.

If any sector is working right now, it's oil and gas.

It's not right for the oil companies to artificially bring prices up for gasoline already in the ground because of market predictions - especially when the price is not attributed to additional expenses by the vendor.

Right now the market supply for oil is tight.
