Last October, the financial news service Bloomberg published an expose on an emerging crisis in Big Oil... one that'll have a dramatic impact on world oil consumption.

In short, Exxon, Chevron, Shell and the like are quietly "liquidating" their public stock. According to Bloomberg:

"There's a steady liquidation of the world oil industry... Exxon is buying back about $30 billion of its shares each year. If that continues, Exxon will have repurchased all its stock by about 2024."

BP has been one of the most aggressive... They've repurchased nearly 60% of all its outstanding shares since 2000.

In fact, Big Oil is now spending more on stock buybacks than they are on oil exploration. According to a Rice University study:

"The handwriting is on the wall. The oil majors used 56% of their cash-flow on share repurchases... They are not replacing reserves. It is as if they are slowly liquidating their long-term asset base." --November 12, 2007

This begs the question: With oil trading near $100 a barrel and demand soaring, why aren't these companies investing every penny they have exploring for more oil?

The answer will shock you.
