12 Ways Oil Could Reach $100 a Barrel by 2020

Likewise, it’s unlikely that one factor alone would push oil back into the triple digits. However, with several potential issues looming under the surface, crude has many possible paths that could come together and take it back above $100 a barrel by 2020.
