The title of your post is can money be made from global fuel crisis?

Understandably you talking from small business perspective, but from a different view point, the high oil prices have begun to create new markets which didn’t exist before.

Main example being of oil exlploration and research, obviously this industry has experienced a major boom. Companies like Shell, BP etc have almost double the profits, with out increasing their costs. So they have even more cash than they did before, which has allowed them to explore oil resernves which previously were deemed as unprofitable.

Two years ago you had to be able to pull oil out of the ground and still make a profit on a oil price of USD 75 per barrell. So oil reserves in Greenland where never explored because it would cost almost USd 70 per barrel to get it out the ground.

Well with the present market at USD 135 per barrel these previously, un-profitable oil fields, are not profitable.

And so the oil industry has grown new arms and legs in strange countries, sparking the development of a multitude of small scale traders sharing in the growth.
