Talking-up Scotland

Woodside Petroleum of Australia have predicted $55 per barrel this year rising to $65 per barrel next year after their profits rose from $340 million to $507 on 2017 prices, averaging around $50 per barrel.

This prediction comes on top of several confident, bullish predictions from experts in the last few months:

Will Scotland’s oil hit $100 (or more?) a barrel again after 2020?

Independent Scotland’s oil wealth is assured as Aramco chief predicts huge shortages

$90 per barrel for Scotland’s oil by 2020

Scotland’s Treasury to benefit from ‘Oil Price Shock In 2020’

Oil companies making more at $50 per barrel than they did at £100 per barrel yet the UK Government is not taxing them. Is this a ploy to undermine the case for Scottish independence or just interlocking elite corruption?

If you search my blog for the word ‘oil’ you’ll get many more reports predicting a lucrative future for Scotland if we have the autonomy to gather the taxes on our own natural resources!
