Falling oil prices are wreaking havoc on Oil Producers and workers. This week Royal Dutch Shell said profits fell 56 in the last three months of 2015 compared to the year earlier, and confirmed the new wave of job cuts. American oil giant Conoco Phillips lost a billion in the same. Here is why u. S. Crude settled at the 31. 72.

If we look at the public statements made by the former government it would actually support the terrorist group and their turning the whole situation from one aspiration to the sectarian conflict and i think its by you and all that we need to explore the opportunity for more cooperation in fighting. My name is craig. Excuse me.
