There were 19 oil rigs that were removed from operation as of Oct. There are now 1,590 active oil rigs, the lowest level in six weeks. We could easily see the oil rig count down 100 by the end of the year, or more.” Some of the more expensive shale regions will not be profitable at current prices.

With OPEC breaking down and any kind of coordination among its members on price cuts looking increasingly unlikely, it now appears that oilprices could remain below $50 a barrel for a year or more. Stripper wells cost very little to drill, often as little as $300,000 versus millions for a conventional well.
GlobalData research shows that lower oilprices as a result of the COVID-19 crisis could reduce electric vehicle demand and impair EU efforts to significantly reduce average new vehicle CO 2 emissions in the European car market. However, the amount of time taken to make up that price differential depends on the cost of fuel.
Saudi Arabia has long enjoyed the status of being the top crude oil exporter in the world. With record production of 10.564 million barrels per day in June 2015, Saudi Arabia has been one of the major driving forces behind the current oilprice slump. Is Saudi Arabia losing the oilprice war? “It
The lower count provides fresh evidence that low oilprices are forcing drillers to pare back operations and slash spending.

In fact, about 1.5
Even as financial commentators on CNBC are starting to come around to the idea of a bottom in oilprices, the key question for US oil producers remains one of timing.

Oilprices have climbed by about 50 percent from their February lows, topping $40 per barrel. But the rally could be reaching its limits, at least temporarily, as persistent oversupply and the prospect of new shale production caps any potential price increase. by Nick Cunningham of Oilprice.com.
The impact of rising oilprices on North American light tight oil (LTO) production is said to be a “Catch 22”, the title of Joseph Heller’s popular 1961 novel set in WWII. Too many analysts continue to believe drilling and service has the same problem with rising oilprices. by David Yager for Oilprice.com.
Knittel/Smith results for implied gasoline price effects from elimination of ethanol for 2010 using Du/Hayes model and pooled-sample estimates. Put simply, the empirical results merely reflect the fact that ethanol production increased during the sample period whereas the ratio of gasoline to crude oilprices decreased.
The OPEC published its World Oil Outlook 2015 (WOO) in late December, which struck a much more pessimistic note on the state of oil markets than in the past. On the one hand, OPEC does not see oilprices returning to triple-digit territory within the next 25 years, a strikingly bearish conclusion.

The break-even crude oilprice for a delivered biomass cost of $94/metric ton when hydrogen is derived from coal, natural gas or nuclear energy ranges from $103 to $116/bbl for no carbon tax and even lower ($99–$111/bbl) for the carbon tax scenarios. Their analysis is published in the journal Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery.

Fourth, CO 2 prices as high as 100 $/t do not provide sufficient incentive for vehicle electrification.
Despite efforts to continue stimulating the US economy in the wake of the pandemic, high inflation put a damper on economic growth, which was exacerbated by a spike in oilprices as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
