• Oil prices may soon break above their financial-crisis peak, Bob McNally says.
• The founder of Rapidan Energy Group sees a scenario in which Brent crude could rise to nearly $150.
• After peaking, he sees oil prices in "free fall" as consumers rein in consumption.

Oil prices could soon rise to levels markets haven't seen since the 2008 financial crisis, according to a top energy consultant.
