Good blog post on the (extremely anomalous, it turns out) Brent-WTI spread...
I'll instead just offer a prediction-- arbitrage is eventually going to succeed in driving the Brent-WTI spread down, and nobody-- not even ConocoPhillips, not even the U.S. president-- can prevent it.
But they do have the power to slow it down.
