The Energy Information Adminstration is a great resource for this.  Information can be organized and sorted many differnt way over many years.\nhttp://www.eia.doe.gov/\n\nhttp://tonto.eia.doe.gov/dnav/pet/hist/mg_tt_usw.htm\nIncidently, all prices are in cents.  I was confused for a minute or so until I figured that out.

Hey, how is it going? I'm not an specialist in oil research, but I had to do a report on the increment of city revenues - the main source it's a oil refinery.\nThere are two good websites: World Energy Outlook and the Energy Information Administration (EIA).\nThe reports on the EIA are much more comprehensive and have projections until 2030. There's also access to previous reports.\nI hope that information will help you!

Sempra Energy started to trade in 1998. Therefore, there is no "market value" assigned to it in 1987, even if it did exist as a private company.\n\nBy the way, here is how I normally find out historical prices of an equity: the best wite is Yahoo! Financials, in the "quote" window, type in the symbole of the equity of your choice, it leads you to the quote page. On its left, there is one column named "historical prices". Click on it, it leads you to a table of historical prices but by default, it only lists prices in the latest quarter. However, on the top of the table, you can specify the time frame during which you want to know the prices. You can also click on "next" botton to move the table quarter by quarter back to check the histories.

The price went up for us but the cost of crude remained the same.  Today crude costs went down.  Will lower prices follow?  Something smells around here.
