Advisors' Opinion:- [By Robert Rapier]
As an example, in 2009 Chevron (NYSE: CVX), Shell (NYSE: RDS.A) and ExxonMobil teamed up on the Gorgon natural gas project in Australia. The Gorgon and Jansz-Io gas fields are estimated to contain 40 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, which will supply natural gas to the growing Asia Pacific market for decades. Chevron has invested more than $18 billion, and the total project cost has risen to $52 billion (40 percent over budget). That’s a lot of capital spent on something that hasn’t yet shown up as production, but once it does it will produce for many years.

Another big risk is from competition. If companies like Shell (RDS.A) or BP (BP) really get aggressive and try to launch their own version of the fuel cards and prevent their gas stations from accepting FleetCor's cards, it will be a huge blow. But this is something that the management has always known about and although it's been tried before, it has not succeeded.
