Even though the markets were shocked when oil broke through the $100 a barrel level, we are now fast approaching $130 a barrel and nobody quite knows where this rollercoaster ride will actually stop. As the price rises so the panic continues with more and more people buying oil before an expected push upwards. It is this constant panic buying and comments by a number of market experts which has caused alarm in some quarters.

Oil billionaire T Boone Pickens has announced that he expects the price of oil to hit $150 a barrel this year with many others forecasting a price of $200 in the not too distant future. So what is driving the price?
