Global Oil Supply Uncertainty Raises Interest in American Oil Producers; Gulftex Oil Ready to Assist in Meeting Demand

HOUSTON, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Tensions in the oil rich Middle East have renewed interest in American oil reserves and domestic producers such as Gulftex Energy Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: GTXE - news).

In an ABC News report October 22, 2001, the network quoted Merrill Lynch analyst Steven Pfiefer as stating, ``It is quite feasible that we could see prices rise if conditions overseas escalate in some form,'' adding that Pfeifer and several other analysts are predicting higher oil prices similar to what the U.S. experienced during the 1970s when restrained production from OPEC and military and political volatility in the Middle East led to skyrocketing oil prices and fuel costs.

Heightening fears of a diminished oil supply are U.S. Government suggestions that the ``War on Terrorism'' could extend to other nations beyond Afghanistan, some of which may be OPEC nations or allies of OPEC countries. The effect of such action could ``abruptly change'' the output from OPEC according to the ABC report. OPEC meets again in Vienna on November 14, 2001.

Moreover, ABC states that U.S. ally Saudi Arabia produces more than double the oil production of the rest of the world combined and as a potential target of exiled Saudi Osama Bin Laden, a ``nightmare scenario'' would be a successful attack on that oil supply or its distributing ports.

Amid these fears, interest has risen in domestic oil suppliers such as Gulftex Energy Corporation, a Houston based integrated petroleum company involved in exploration and production, transportation, refining, and retail marketing. The company develops and manages oil and gas fields, focusing on the Permian Basin in New Mexico and Texas, onshore United States Gulf Coast, and the Gulf of Mexico, offshore in Indonesia, Nigeria and Qatar. The Company is also involved in pipeline transportation, oil & refined products trading, and shipping.

The ABC report also states that an alternative to Middle Eastern oil dependence is to develop existing oil resources within the United States. The U.S. Energy Department is expected to unveil a report soon outlining the benefits of developing and expanding domestic oil reserves, including bumping up the strategic reserve, again, according to the report.

Earlier this year amid threats of rolling blackouts, President Bush and U.S. Dept. of Energy's Spencer Abraham repeatedly called for increased domestic drilling.

``We're looking forward to an increase in incentives for domestic oil exploration and production,'' said Marc Duchesne, president of Gulftex Energy Corporation. ``We will be making some dramatic announcements in the very near future regarding the acquisition of large oil and gas properties in the United States. Stay tuned.''

Gulftex Energy Corporation is an integrated petroleum company involved in exploration and production, transportation, refining, and retail marketing. The Company develops and manages oil and gas fields, focusing on New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Kentucky plus onshore United States Gulf Coast and the Gulf of Mexico, including offshore. The Company is also involved in pipeline transportation, oil & refined products trading & shipping.
