crude oil prices?" width="300" height="225"/></a>Ask any U.S. citizen what they notice first as they are driving to work and you can bet most will say “how much is it going to cost me to fill up my tank today”. Predicting daily fluctuations in gas prices with some degree of accuracy can make even the most seasoned gas and oil expert a little crazy, especially with political instability occurring in oil-rich countries and uncertainty about what OPEC is going to do. However, some basic factors do influence the price of crude oil and can be used as relevant variables to determine whether we start the day paying a reasonable $2 or a painfully high $5 for a gallon of gas. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150405071752/http://www.arescotx.com/what-determines-crude-oil-prices/#more-5406" class="more-link">Read More</a></p> </div>   <div class="entry"><h1><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150405071752/http://www.arescotx.com/u-s-shale-success-fueled-by-one-thing-yankee-knowhow/">U.S. Shale Success Fueled by One Thing: Yankee Knowhow</a></h1> <p style="font-size:11px;margin-top:-20px;">Monday, July 28th, 2014 and is filed under <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150405071752/http://www.arescotx.com/category/oil-and-gas-current-events/" rel="category tag">Oil and Gas Current Events</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150405071752/http://www.arescotx.com/category/oil-and-gas-interesting-facts/" rel="category tag">Oil and Gas Interesting Facts</a></p> <p>It’s been roiling at a vigorous boil since 2008. That’s when U.S. tight-oil (light crude trapped in geological formations of low permeability) production exploded: <a title="U.S. oil production increase" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150405071752/http://www.economist.com/news/united-states/21596553-benefits-shale-oil-are-bigger-many-americans-realise-policy-has-yet-catch" target="_blank">from 600,000 to 3.5 million barrels</a> per day at the start of 2014. Thanks to the deluge of hydrocarbon resources from shale formations, petroleum is once again turbocharging U.S. economic growth.</p> <p>Thank the innovative technologies of hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) and horizontal drilling for this success. The boom began in the 1990s, when the late oil and gas pioneer <a title="George P.
