RE: From our shale friends...14 Nov 2019 19:13
I know I’ll probably get shot down for what I am about to say re shale, but recently I met an old acquaintance who is a long serving employee of one of the worlds largest oil service companies. Apart from him bemoaning the scarcity of bright young kids wishing to get involved with the oil industry, we had a quick chat about shale. He told me & I have no reason to disbelieve him, that US shale operators can make a profit at USD 40. I know this is a very general comment & doesn’t reflect all the fields, but it sort of reflects the slowing but still increasing shale production. I know there is plenty of documentation, you guys can call onto contest what I was told, but there you have it all the same.
