Some speculate OPEC’s recent decision to keep the crude spigot flowing is the cartel’s play to smother America’s great oil boom. Keeping prices low by steadily flushing the market with crude—the thinking goes—<a title="OPEC won't stop US oil production growth" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150405033904/http://www.cnbc.com/id/102234051#." target="_blank">makes production via fracking and horizontal drilling less viable</a>, triggering a cascade of capital pullback in the oilfield.</p> <p>Sure, there’s room for worry. Oil prices have plummeted more than 30 percent over the last several months. Add in the conventional wisdom that says “tight” oil production from shale ceases to be economical once the $80 per barrel price floor is breached. Question: How low can prices go before North American unconventional investment is throttled and projects start shutting down? Follow-up: Is the conventional wisdom on price even relevant? <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150405033904/http://www.arescotx.com/will-opec-fueled-price-crater-spell-permian-extinction-not-a-chance/#more-5215" class="more-link">Read More</a></p> </div><!-- end entry --> <!-- Stop The Loop (but note the "else:" - see next line). --> <!-- Display the Title as a link to the Post's permalink. --> <div class="entry"><h1><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150405033904/http://www.arescotx.com/permian-basin-oil-well-photos/">Permian Basin Oil Well Photos</a></h1> <p style="font-size:11px;margin-top:-20px;">Wednesday, November 12th, 2014 and is filed under <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150405033904/http://www.arescotx.com/category/oil-and-gas-current-events/" rel="category tag">Oil and Gas Current Events</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150405033904/http://www.arescotx.com/category/permian-basin-oil-news/" rel="category tag">Permian Basin Oil News</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150405033904/http://www.arescotx.com/category/texas-oil-and-gas-investing/" rel="category tag">Texas Oil and Gas Investing</a></p> <p>Just in case you don’t know a lot about the oil rig setup and drilling process, it is quite an operation.
