Oil Rises in New York on Speculation Last Week’s Drop Overdone at [Bloomberg](http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-09-25/oil-rises-in-new-york-on-speculation-last-week-s-drop-overdone.html).

Oil spare productive capacity trumps: “…analysts are increasingly skeptical about whether these countries have the capacity to shield Western consumers against a new oil shock.” [WSJ](http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444358804578016140459750174.html) One chart with a guess of spare capacity is included in Brent-WTI crude oil spread remains wide in spite of Saudi action at [Sober Look](http://soberlook.com/2012/09/brent-wti-crude-oil-spread-remains-wide.html).

U.S. shale glut forces Alaska to target Asia for gas exports at [Financial Post](http://business.financialpost.com/2012/09/24/shale-glut-forces-alaska-to-target-asia-for-gas-exports/).
