Press Release Summary = Unexpected Refinery Repairs, the Upcoming Peak Driving
Season, and Tensions in Nigeria Push Oil Prices Higher

Press Release Body = POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC - May 17, 2007,
www.InvestorIdeas.com announces its upcoming online audio investor conference that
will consist of presentations from industry experts and participating public energy
companies. The June 6th event titled, the 'Future of Energy', will address
investment opportunities in oil, natural gas, tar sands and more. Presentations will
begin 9:00 am EDT and the entire conference will be archived for a minimum of 90
days afterwards.

With the peak driving season only eight days away, oil prices have moved above $63 a
barrel on fears that gasoline supplies within the United States will not be able to
meet the demands of this summer due to unexpected refinery repairs and shutdowns. In
addition, many experts anticipate that supply problems may be compounded as a result
of the tensions in Nigeria. As prices are expected to remain high throughout the
summer months, investors are keeping a close eye on the investment potential of oil
and gas companies positioned to take advantage of the nation's thirst for energy.

Investors can learn more about expectations for the energy sector at the upcoming
oil and gas conference. Free registration is available at:
