Oil fell to the lowest price since May 08 yesterday, losing over $4 to reach $120.42. Analysts put the fall in price, despite a loss of production from Nigeria, down to weakening demand and a stronger dollar. Opec President Chakib Khelil said that he expected prices to eventually retreat to $80 or $70 but advised producers not to cut supply.

In late May 08, we engaged Comwerks Interactive to conduct an online survey on our website. The objective was to understand our members’ needs better, and to get some feedback and suggestions for the new site.  We’re exceptionally grateful for all of you that took part and completed the short survey. Rest assured that we’re ironing out the kinks and nooks to provide you guys a better service!
