Is it possible they could drive WTI below $50 or is that become pretty much impossible absent panic selling in a financial collapse. For years we needed 10-12 to break even, 15 to live on. Incredible what has happened to both price and expenses since we invaded Iraq.
s we know, LOE doesn't drop when the oil price does. I also worry about the earthquake issue with the shale fracking. What pressure and what zones are they injecting/disposing in? We have been injecting in the producing sand or in the sand immediately below since world war 2, at relatively low pressure. There were several news stories about quakes a month or so ago. A moratorium on salt water disposal via injection/disposal wells would devastate the industry and would cause immediate oil shortages IMO.
