The U.S. weekly petroleum inventories data due out later Wednesday was expected to show drawdowns across the board. A Dow Jones Newswires poll showed commercial crude stocks are expected to fall by 390,000 barrels last week, when Hurricane Rita barreled through the U.S. Gulf Coast.

AP Oil Prices Up on Drop in Oil Supplies Wednesday October 5, 11:24 am ET By George Jahn, Associated Press Writer Oil Prices Rise After U.S. Data Shows Decline in Oil and Gasoline Supplies
Oil prices rose Wednesday after the U.S. government released data showing declines in oil and gasoline inventories.
Light sweet crude for November delivery rose 25 cents to $64.15 per barrel in morning trade on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell $1.57 to close at $63.90 on Tuesday.
ADVERTISEMENT Unleaded gasoline futures fell about a penny to $2.005 per gallon, while heating oil futures rose 1.28 cent to $2.06 per gallon.
In its weekly petroleum supply report, the Energy Department said commercial inventories of crude oil fell by 300,000 barrels last week to 305.4 million barrels. That's 12 percent above year ago levels.
The agency said gasoline inventories shrank by 4.3 million barrels to 195.5 million barrels, or 4.5 percent below last year's level. The supply of distillate, which includes heating oil and diesel, fell by 5.6 million barrels to 128 million barrels. Distillate inventories are 4 percent higher than a year ago.
Natural gas futures, which closed at a record high $14.224 per 1,000 cubic feet on Tuesday, jumped an additional 39.6 cents to $14.62.
The Interior Department said Tuesday that heavy damage by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita would mean a slow recovery for offshore natural gas production. The Gulf Coast produces about one-fifth of the product used by U.S. industry and to heat homes. The loss of output is particularly troublesome, analysts say, because there is no emergency stockpile.
"The outlook for winter is grim, and the threat to the U.S. economy is real from extremely high gas prices and shortages," Energyintel analyst Tom Wallin said in a research note.
Concerns over a slowdown in U.S. energy demand have been lingering in the market since Hurricane Katrina drove crude oil prices to a record high of $70.85 a barrel on Aug. 30.
Recent U.S. government and industry data have shown that oil demand has dropped significantly in the past month, apparently as an increasing number of motorists have cut back on discretionary driving.
"The worry in the market is that the impact of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, together with the arrival of winter, may be a significant tipping point in U.S. economic activity," said Victor Shum, energy analyst with Purvin & Gertz in Singapore.
But some traders said energy prices were likely to continue to rise, as a significant demand slowdown would not be immediate.
"It took two years to get here, and a reversal won't be engineered overnight, or in a week or a month," said Mike Fitzpatrick of the brokerage Fimat USA Inc.
Paul Hornsnell, head of energy research at Barclays Capital in London, said he sees crude "stuck between $60 and $70" with many governments expected to step in and cap any higher prices.
"But they can't do much about products prices," which will likely move upward because of continuing supply concerns, Hornsnell added. He estimated losses caused by hurricanes translated into a 200 million barrrel shortfall in refined products.
About 1.35 million barrels a day of oil production in the Gulf of Mexico, or 90 percent of total daily output there, was shut in on Tuesday, down from 93 percent on Monday, the U.S. Minerals Management Service said.
Associated Press Writers Brad Foss in Washington and Gillian Wong contributed to this report from Singapore.

I beleive the decline is temorary. Winter is soming and demand will go through the roof. Mainly for natural gas. Snow and cold equal a need for heat. Just one persons opinion.

I hope many of you newbies that are new to trading have been watching PAPO...many have been pumping this without real facts,thats why I have been constantly posting I have not made any contact with the company,hell I am not sure they are still in business. Newbies please watch out for these plays,in most cases you will lose due to inexperience,you can make a killing on them if you work them right but if your not privy to the set exits of the clubs you will become a bag holder quick.

Thank's Quest I really appreciate everything you've done. You and Greeneye on the RB board our the best. All we can do is be patient. One other thing I noticed that a lot of other boards on RB our talking about AMEP and jumping in at these low prices. This is good news for us. Even boards that have nothing to do with energy such as CHID and BRVO. The interest in this company is rediculous. You got love that. Long and Strong!

Just thought I'd point out the extremely low volume we've had today. Only around 19 million shares traded so far.
