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.

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.

Actually, yes. They make it up after they run our producers and our active wells out of oil. It only takes a few years. Then they can jack the price up again. And if we do start exploring again, it takes 2-3 years before we can get our own oil flowing again. That 2-3 years at $90 or $100 a barrel helps the Saudis recoup their current losses to build up their nest egg for the next time they decide to crash oil prices to stop American oil again.

I guess you never heard of shut-in production. Check it out.

I don't think it applies. Look at zombie oil companies, as they call them. They're riding down their losses and depleting their biggest production runs out of existing wells and have no money to explore for new high-volume wells.

So I don't think shut-in designation applies to the current market's problems in any significant way.

Can you put some data to support your contnetion? It is a relatively easy thing to do to shut-in a well. True that there may be some lost production capability when you go to restart production but none-the-less the proven reserves are still there ready to be produced. Also Saudi is but one of the top three producing nations. It knows how and more importantly when to play the game. Russia is also in the mix.

I never understood why oil ever reached $100/bbl as the marginal cost of production was always well below that. IMO the reason why oil is now about $35/bbl has more to do with the climate change maniacs than anything else.

The only article I read indicated the companies are riding down the price, not shutting down the wells to wait for a brighter day with higher oil prices.

However, they are not going to shut down these wells and then restart them quickly. The price of the oil has to remain high enough for long enough to justify opening them again and the ancillary costs of pumping and transporting the oil to market. You aren't just turning on a spigot; it involves a lot more than that.

Price isn't determined by supply alone, but by supply AND demand. The GLOBAL price of Oil was driven to $100/bbl by the phenomenal growth of the Chinese economy... Now you have a situation where the Chinese economy is faltering, OPEC has turned on the spigots full blast, and the GLOBAL price of oil is tanking.
