The winners and losers are in! The winners? Americans who saved $14BILLION on oil products when compared to 2013 and enjoyed a fine economic bump from it. The losers are the oil producers who saw the price of their stuff and their revenues fall nearly 50%!
WooHoo! Happy New Year, MoFos!
:beer::beer:
 
The Mexicans are giving up growing as much weed now that the USA is producing so much..What a nice year.....
 
everyone says its so bad for the world economy...fuck that i am all about cheap gas!

I think most rational peeps know it's so good for the global economy and friggin' great for America. The hand-wringers must be the same peeps who complain that they are made to pay too little in taxes. Of course, they also demand the rest of us pay more also. I don't get them. Anyway, have a happy and healthy New Year.

You wouldn't be celebrating if you were on that losing end.
While my company's revenues are 50% lower, my expenses remain constant or even increase.And there is no mechanism by which I can pass along even once cent of my costs.

2015 is really going to suck balls for this family.

Yeah, I'm real sorry about that but while you were squeezing a few bucks out of the artificially high oil prices the rest of us were sucking balls. I can't tell you how many of us were damaged by them (not that you seem to care). I suppose you believe it's unreasonable to expect you to look beyond your own selfish ass and consider how much better life is for the overwhelming majority of people on the planet.

I've posted this before- back when gas was $4/gallon, once a month I would go down to the local BP station and buy a tank of gas for a complete stranger. This went on for at least a year, until prices (and my income) started to soften. On several occasions, I purchased gasoline gift cards and distributed them to volunteers who deliver Meals on Wheels.

I laud you for recognizing the impact on domestic producers. :thup:
But please do understand the impact on U.S. drilling, industry jobs, the decline in domestic production, and the rise of foreign imports. And during the years that I did make bank, most of it went - into the bank. Sure I could have gone out and paid cash for a Cadillac, but I've seen many of these boom-bust cycles in my career.

I occasionally get the off-handed comment about being the rich oil guy, but my response is always- "look around town- who is driving the Mercedes, Lexus, BMW, Cadillac - not oil people but farmers". True story brotch. :slap:

The rise in foreign imports? America is virtually energy self-sufficient these days, thanks in large part to independent shale producers and I have already floated the idea that we should aid the more expensive operations (tax credits, direct per barrel subsidies) as a matter of national security and our own economic well being. America's newfound oil power has proven to be good for America, most Americans and much of the non-oil producing world. That's a win-win-win.

Instead the oil producers have gotten Oblama to drop the 40 year oil export ban...Which includes Canadian crude.....

Lifting costs (the cost to get oil out of the ground) are exponentially higher in the U.S.

The effects of low oil prices will be pronounced and immediate.

Both onshore and offshore rigs are being stacked NOW. Companies are laying off personnel by the thousands, and capital outlay is being cut in half.

Is there a price to pay for crude prices going too low? Yes there is.

Brotch.

Technically... no. That has not yet happened.

Brotch.

1) Average extraction costs are higher in Russia and the North Sea than they are in the US.
2) Shale extraction costs here range from $30 - $95/bbl with most below $60/bbl.
3) While new drilling and some of the most expensive wells are being shelved, the US is still pumping over 9 million bbls/day, squeezing undesirable producers out of our market and forcing them to cut production or dump their oil at dramatically lower (discounted @ $40/bbl) prices.
4) I believe we should aid the higher cost US shale as a matter of national security. To deny or ignore that the positive impact of lower oil prices far outweighs the price America would pay for it is dishonest at best.
5) America's vast new natural gas reserves is a sweet benefit of oil exploration.
6) I shouldn't have to explain any of this to you.
