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/20150313060813/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/20150313060813/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>   <div class="entry"><h1><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150313060813/http://www.arescotx.com/bridgetex-relieving-the-permian-basin-squeeze/">BridgeTex: Relieving the Permian Basin Squeeze</a></h1> <p style="font-size:11px;margin-top:-20px;">Tuesday, October 21st, 2014 and is filed under <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150313060813/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/20150313060813/http://www.arescotx.com/category/permian-basin-oil-news/" rel="category tag">Permian Basin Oil News</a></p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150313060813/http://www.arescotx.com/bridgetex-relieving-the-permian-basin-squeeze/bridgetex-pipeline/" target="_blank" rel="attachment wp-att-4845"><img class="alignleft wp-image-4845 size-medium" style="border: 0px none; margin: 5px 10px;" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150313060813im_/http://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/bridgetex-pipeline-300x229.png" alt="BridgeTex Pipeline" width="300" height="229"/></a>Is the Permian Basin a victim of its own stunning success?
