Interesting article. I love it. Opec is about to self implode and I'm saving $32 a tank over just a year or so ago. Venezuela's break even point is $161 a barrel while North America can produce raw crude profitably down to $32 a barrel. So who do you thank for the extra disposable income you now enjoy? Your local central committee or North America's petroleum geophysical prowess? Meanwhile, useful idiots yammer about getting rid of petroleum entirely and replacing it with...with...well you better believe they're going to replace it with...errr...something. Self-destructive morons.
 
The next move will be for Obama to propose an oil import tariff to protect domestic industry and fund green energy research.
 
This is exactly what I said Saudi Arabia and the US should do to combat Putin. I kept asking all the ODS sufferers to put up or shut up when they were whining about Obama not doing anything about Putin.


3. Saudi Arabia again. Obama needs to pressure the Sauds to start cranking out more oil and drive the price down. Flood the market. This will put a huge economic bite on Putin, who depends on oil revenues to pay for his aggression in the Ukraine.
 
If oil gets down to $60 a barrel, our domestic shale oil producers are going to feel a serious pinch, and some will go under.
 
Cheap Oil Threatens Russia With Recession Deficits and Oil Output Falls Business The Moscow Times

Battered by Western sanctions, levels of capital flight not seen since the financial crisis of 2008 and a currency that has lost over 30 percent of its value against the U.S. dollar since January, the Russian economy is expected to narrowly avoid slipping into recession this year.

Lower oil prices could make recession in 2015 a certainty.

If the Russian oil benchmark, Urals crude — which trades about $2 under the Brent price — averages $80 next year then 75 percent of 32 economists surveyed by Bloomberg on Friday predicted that a recession was on the cards.
 
"What is the reason for the United States and some U.S. allies wanting to drive down the price of oil? To harm Russia," Nicolas Maduro, president of fellow OPEC member Venezuela, said last month.

Masoud Mirkazemi, an Iranian lawmaker and former oil minister, said Riyadh was helping the G20 group of major economies. "Saudi Arabia, which intends to manage OPEC, serves the interests of the G20 group," he said.

In Russia, the idea of a Saudi-U.S. plot against Moscow has become common currency as the economy struggles under the effects of low oil prices and Western sanctions imposed over its annexation of Crimea and support for rebels in eastern Ukraine.

Leonid Fedun, a co-owner of private oil firm Lukoil, cited President Barack Obama's visit to Riyadh in March. "Obama travelled to meet the king of Saudi Arabia just after the Crimea events to push him to these actions (to lower the oil price)," Fedun, whose firm has large U.S. assets, said last month.

Word is they will demand cost reductions from the railroads, truckers drillers, pizza makers to make up some of the shortfall.
