The graph shows oil prices in dollars per barrel from 1995 with forecasts to 2015. Overall, oil prices increased by nearly four hundred percent from 1995 to 2008, with the most dramatic increase in the two years from 2006 to 2008. This rise is predicted to continue into the future. Prices started at around twenty US dollars a barrel during 1995, and then rose slightly to approximately twenty-four dollars in 1998. The cost of a barrel then dropped for two years, to the lowest point of about eighteen dollars during 2000. After that, there was a steady price rise, reaching about fifty dollars a barrel in 2006. This was followed by a dramatic climb to over ninety dollars in 2008, and it is forecast that this rise will continue into the future, and will level off slightly after 2010.
