Dahveydson: This will not happen because shale oil cannot be profitably produced below $30. |

Dahveydson:and what give u the impression that energy company in the US are in support of Obama sanctions on Russia. To the companies it is all about bussiness. Most shale exploration and bussiness are at a halt at the moment. North dakota and and most southern state are struggling. Major oil companies are laying off workers in droves. Students are refusing to graduate because the job market are freezed up, thereby resulting in spike in school loans. You think oil companies are fan of a guy that shout to high heaven for creating 150k low imcome jobs(macdonald jobs) when over 50k upper income earners afe loosing jobs. If this situation persist even America will slip into recession before end of 2016. People are defaulting on their motgages just like in 2007 1 Like |

Well, this is an important step in a right direction. Russia the world's largest oil producer and Saudi Arabia (OPEC-cabal most influential producer) are in talks. Great indeed. But one thing we should all know is that for d last 3-4 years, Saudi deliberately increased its production to cripple US shale oil (cost of producing a barrel of oil in Saudi is around $10 and because of the technologies used in producing shale + environmental concerns, shale is still expensive. But at the rate US shale exploration was going, 2 years might just be enough to develop sustainable and cheaper technologies, Saudis foresaw this and they acted (of course they would lose US, being their biggest buyer). Today, many shale exploration companies are folding up. Gbam.... Saudi wins. Another thing is that, many oil buyers of yesterday i.e countries are now discovering oil (e.g china) + a deeper energy source mix (solar, wind, geothermal etc), as a rule of thumb, oil prices has to come down. Slow economic growth in heavily industrialised china, India, Japan also contributed to the falling oil price. Now..lets see the bigger picture.... OPEC is not the only oil producing nations, if they decide to cut production levels, they will only lose their market share i.e if they couldn't meet their buyers demand, they will lose them to non-opec countries e.g Russia, Brazil, etc. Also, the kind of politics, competition that goes on within OPEC is appalling. There are no measures to ensure faithfulness among members i.e they all cheat the OPEC body. If Saudi decides to cut down production, will Venezuela and nigeria (who dearly needs this oil money) cut productions too, will Iran (who hates Saudis and really need money now that the sanctions have been lifted) comply? Now we see that there is more to oil prices than meets the eye. Good thing, speculations about a possible production cut pushed Brent price $2 upward, but will they ever agree to cut production? Remember, the oil producing Arabs (minus Iran) have stable economies despite a 70% fall in oil price. They can still service their budgets and have little or no deficits. It is nigeria, Venezuela, Libya that will benefit most from this production cut; only if they themselves cheat OPEC by not cutting theirs ![]() So let's see where this heads to... |
