"Romania Oil & Gas Report Q3 2011" is now available at Fast Market Research

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep 04, 2011 - This latest Romania Oil & Gas Report from BMI forecasts that the country will account for 3.56% of Central and Eastern European (CEE) regional oil demand by 2015, while providing just 0.47% of supply. CEE regional oil use of 5.4mn b/d in 2001 rose to an estimated 6.1mn b/d in 2010 and should increase to around 6.9mn b/d by 2015. Regional oil production was 8. 9mn b/d in 2001 and averaged an estimated 13.8mn b/d in 2010. It is set to rise to 15.1mn b/d by 2015. Oil exports are growing steadily, because demand growth is lagging the pace of supply expansion. In 2001, the region was exporting an average of 3.5mn b/d. This total rose to an estimated 7.7mn b/d in 2010 and is forecast to reach 8.1mn b/d by 2015. Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan have the greatest production growth potential, although Russia will remain the most important exporter.

---------------------------------------------------------- --Full Report Details at - http://www.fastmr.com/prod/216813_romania_oil_gas_report ...------------------------------------------------------------

The region consumed an estimated 637bcm of natural gas in 2010, with demand of 737bcm targeted for 2015, representing 15.8% growth. Production of an estimated 773bcm in 2010 should reach 963bcm in 2015, which implies net exports rising from an estimated 136bcm in 2010 to 226bcm by the end of the period. Romania's estimated share of 2010 regional gas consumption was 2.13%, while its share of production is put at 1.36%. By 2015, its share of demand is forecast to be 2.20%, with the country accounting for 0.86% of supply.

Oil demand could potentially grow at 3.0% per annum, rising to 247,000b/d by 2015. In spite of greater efforts by the OMV-backed national oil company Petrom, we see domestic oil production slipping from an estimated 93,000b/d in 2010 to 71,000b/d by 2015. This implies rising import levels, with volumes up to 176,000b/d by 2015. Natural gas consumption of an estimated 13.6bcm in 2010 is expected to reach 16.2bcm by 2015. Romania's gas production is forecast to slip to no more than 8.3bcm by 2015, providing an import requirement of at least 7.9bcm.

Between 2010 and 2020, we forecast an increase in Romanian oil consumption of 35.7%, with import volumes rising steadily from an estimated 118,000b/d to 238,000b/d by the end of the 10-year forecast period. Domestic production is forecast to fall from an estimated 93,000b/d to 48,000b/d during the period. Gas consumption is expected to rise to 19.2bcm by 20 car news 20, which will be met by 13.2bcm of imports. Details of corsa BMI's 10-year forecasts can be found in the appendix to this report.

Romania holds sixth place, above Ukraine, in BMI's composite Business Environment Ratings (BERs), which combine upstream and downstream scores. It holds seventh place, below Bulgaria, in BMI's updated upstream ratings. Its gas production growth outlook, asset maturity and underdeveloped competitive landscape work against the country and are exacerbated by poor country risk factors. There is some scope for Romania to overtake Bulgaria in the rankings, but Russia and Turkey are likely to remain out of reach. Romania is above the mid-point of the table in BMI's downstream ratings, with a few high scores but progress from its current joint fifth-place ranking rat buick her unlikely. The country achieves decent scores for refining capacity, oil and gas demand and retail site intensity.

"A Pennsylvania Mennonite and the California Gold Rush" recounts experiences of David Baer Hackman

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug 27, 2011 - Camp Hill, PA - Sunbury Press, Inc. has released the third edition of "A Pennsylvania Mennonite and the California Gold Rush: T chevrolet he Journal and Letters of David Baer Hackman" containing additional period illustrations, higher grade paper and a new cover.

About the Book: David Baer Hackman (1827-1896) a Mennonite from Millport, Lancaster County, PA, traveled west to California in 1850, seeking his fortune during the great Gold Rush. David wrote many letters home concerning his crossing of the plains by wagon and his many detailed experiences in and around the gold fields of California. A vivid writer for such a young man, David captures images of the mining communities, the boom towns of Sacramento, Ringgold, Hangtown (Placerville), Mokelumne Hill, Columbia, Yankee Hill and Sonora and the lawlessness found there, including hangings and barfights. He writes of early San Francisco, the Lick Estate near Alveso, the local Indians, trouble with bears, and the great trees of Calaveras County. His journal then captures his return trip in 1854 by steam ship to Panama, across the Isthmus and then to New York City. He describes Acapulco divers, early Panama City, Gorgona and Aspinwall (Colon). He describes in detail life aboard steamships including the Pacific mail ship SS Golden Gate and the Atlantic steamer North Star. Lawrence Knorr presents the journal and letters in sequence along with their historical context, providing corroborating accounts where available. In all, an ex corsa cellent primary source and piece of social history from one of the most exciting times in American history.

List Price: $14.95 5.5" x 8.5" (13.97 x 21.59 cm) Black & White on Cream paper 196 pages Sunbury Press, Inc. ISBN-13: 978-1934597644 ISBN-10: 1934597643 BISAC: History / United States / Civil War Period

Excerpts: "In the midst of the matchless energy and enterprise by which I have been surrounded during my sojourn of four years in California, I have sometimes imagined that the scenes in which I was moving were not enacted in the world in which I was born and reared, but that by some unfathomable transmigration I had become the subject of a new existence. Here virtue shines out t dodge o dimly in contrast with the dark deformity of over-shadowing, stalwart vice, faces, complexions, customs, habits, and business intercourse, manners, trade, laws, skies, air, earth, and all things so strange, so peculiar and unlike my old associations, that the doctrine of the ancient philosopher seemed at times plausible..."

"...they commenced to demolish everything inside, wine and whiskey bottles, glasses, lamps, tables, and chairs, and everything that could be broken. When that was finished some procured ropes and tied them to the corners of the house it being only a one and a half-story frame. They commenced to pull when they soon had it on the ground. They carried the whole thing on a vacant lot and set fire to it..."

"...I was very much surprised to see so large a number of massive buildings which adorn many of the streets of this city, and in architectural beauty, many of them will compare favorably with those devoted to similar purposes at any of the Eastern cities. Nor does it lack in business, if I may infer from the crowds on the sidewalks, the rattle of drays, the display of hacks, the roll of omnibuses, the ringing of bells, the fruit stand on the corners, the various peddlers of small wares, the long wharves loaded with merchandise, and the spacious harbor dotted all over and alive with the shipping of every clime..."

"...Now you will just imagine yourself to be down town, then turn around, and look up and upon your right, you will perceive a large building, upon the front of which is inscribed the name of the house, in large square gild letters 'The Ureka Hotel'. Finding yourself in front of its lofty doorway, you hear some very sweet music issuing therefrom. You will be desirous of knowing what is going on in the interior, a view of which cannot be had from the outside, on account of a larges screen being placed a few feet within the door. Entering therefore and passing behind the screen, you behold a spacious and oblong "hall", about sixty-five by eighty-five feet in size, the walls of which are richly furnished with magnificent mirrors and pictures of various shades and sizes..."

Review by Floyd D. P. Oydegaard of Columbia, California: The letters and journal entries of David Baer Hackman assembled by Lawrence Knorr (Author), in A Pennsylvania Mennonite and the California Gold Rush is one of those books that I found was very difficult to set aside.

The history of the era is always better told in the personal accounts of the actual individuals. David Baer Hackman begins his experience with little writing ability and soon becomes a typical 19th century writer with flowery prose. His accounts are new and fresh information that opens whole new avenues of discovery. His personal views are in some ways very different than some of the other journals and letters already available.

I was excited to read these letters of a young man who actually traveled through what is today my place of business; Columbia State Historic Park. I run a small specialty shop, which sells books on 19th century California and especially Gold Rush Columbia. This book adds much to our town's already rich history. It was well received by many of the local historians and Gold Rush enthusiasts.

I always recommend this book to my customers.
