Harvey fails to disrupt new economics of oil business | Arab News

Harvey fails to disrupt new economics of oil business | Arab News:

"The tragic events in south Texas have led to loss of life and devastation across a swathe of the US, but already the hard-nosed professionals of the oil industry — from Dallas to Dhahran — are calculating the effect on their business. Most of the analysis agree it is too early to say with certainty what damage Hurricane Harvey did when it hit the Gulf of Mexico coast, and what the longer-term effects of the downgraded tropical storm will be. The rainfall could be just as damaging as the violent winds of a hurricane to the Texas energy industry. But one thing is clear: In the new dynamic of the global oil industry, in the shale era, many of the old certainties have been blown out of the window."
