Cena nafte pod ničlo? Zakaj bi pa kdo imel stroške s črpanjem in ti še dodatno plačal, da vzameš načrpano?

to se dogaja, enako kot se je dogajalo (verjetno se vedno) pri plinu -- ogromni presezki na crpaliscih in lokalnih vozliscih, ki jih logisticno ni mogoce plasirati dalje in so na koncu crpalci veseli, da jih nekdo losa tega.

zdaj zakaj crpalci mislijo, da ima to zanje poslovni smisel... glede na izkusnje z ameriskim crpanjem zadnjih 10 let je zelo tezko govoriti o smislu, ne sele zdaj.

In an obscure corner of the American physical oil market, crude prices have turned negative -- producers are actually paying consumers to take away the black stuff.

The first crude stream to turn upside down was Wyoming Asphalt Sour, a dense oil used mostly to produce paving bitumen. Mercuria Energy Group Ltd., a trading house, bid negative 19 cents per barrel in mid-March for the crude, effectively asking producers to pay for the luxury of getting rid of their output.

“These are landlocked crude with just no buyers,” said Elisabeth Murphy, an analyst at consultant ESAI Energy. “In areas where storage is filling up quickly, prices could go negative. Shut-ins are likely to happen by then.”
