Title: So much for running out of OIL!

I remember people claiming we were running out of oil. That we have reached "peak production".

Oil just broke the $35 a barrel with no end in sight of slowing production!

Saudi's have declared war on America. They will destroy shale oil business because its kicking their butt. America was independent of its grip for the first time in my life time. Obama is happy big little oil is getting raped by the Saudi's.

I believe oil can be drilled for $30 a barrel and break even.

I believe oil can be pumped out of the ground for $14 a barrel and break even.

Get ready to see defaults in the small oil companies because $25 a barrel is coming.

You can believe the world is flat but that doesn't make it so.

The shale oil guys keep saying that their breakeven is $65/bl. They continue to pump the oil they have at a loss, hoping to outlast the bad prices. But more and more of them are zombie companies in the red. And no one has money to launch more exploration or develop new wells. This is the Saudi goal. They only have to do it for a few years to squash American production in the short term.

The Saudis continue to pump way below cost, subsidizing oil exports to around $100 billion a year. They supposedly have a cash surplus of $700-$800 billion in loose cash they can use to subsidize their oil losses and cripple American oil production.

They want all that exploration to stop and, for wells already pumping, they want to see the inevitable decline in production from such wells. Then it will be time for the Saudis to jack the price back up. But they have to worry that they can't ever go back to $100/bl again without seeing the American oil industry make another big comeback with new wells.

I believe you have it right about the Saudi's and their intentions.

I think the cost of getting shale oil is much lower than $65 a barrel break even(not counting ocean rigs).

Yeah,and Obomber and Mrs Bubba really ARE two of the smartest people on the planet.

That $65 price includes their idea of what constitutes "adequate profits" after expenses. Which no doubt includes private jets and mansions for their girlfriends and children,not to mention the money to buy politicians to park cars at their parties.

Ah, the Suadi's lose a little bit on every barrel they sell but make it up on volume. Got it. Thanks for clearing that up for us.

If we listen to the Trumpsters then we should slap all types of tariffs and fees on Saudi oil to prop up the prices to make American production competitive . Maybe we should embargo Saudi imports and tell Americans they should only buy American sources . You know saving American jobs and all that .Wonder if they would like to go back to paying $4-5 dollars + a gallon again ?
