Much of TPL's value will continue to be based on the prices of oil & gas. Supply & Demand is what determines the price of those commodities. One energy analyst opined last week that oil would go up to $90 a barrel. His reasoning cited the new laws that require sea going vessels to burn high grade oil, and claimed that will result in a million BOD in increased demand. This is something I was aware of a long time ago. I doubt anything short of an all out war in the Gulf will move oil prices above $70 for any extended period of time.
