Oil has rallied again and should end up on the week after the malarkey of recent falls. Today is the virtual Jackson Hole symposium where the taper will be discussed. Tropical storm IDA might become a Cat 3 hurricane as it skirts Mexico and China is boosting the economy. Good solid results from PetroTal, a very good long term outlook, IOG are getting closer to first gas just when prices are at their highs and Helium One drills a duster and cancels well three in this programme. Finally a solid recovery from Hunting as one would expect and a good update from Echo who are increasing liquids production.
