Published on January 25, 2013

As I mentioned earlier in the week, news around Oil, Pipelines and Shale has been coming in thick and fast this week and it’s been purely co-incidental that that’s all I managed to write about on our blog here this week.

Hopefully next week I can mix it up a bit with a few other topics (it’s School Choice Week in the US for example), but to end the week on a high/low/mixed/steady note I thought I’d provide a bit of an example of just how messy the whole Oil subject can be.

So, in that vein, here’s 10 news headlines about (obviously a few different types of) oil from today, presented without any further comment – I’ll leave it to you to try and figure out what’s going on.
