The depressed oil prices hurt the producers most not the downstream companies. There is a reason why refiners were crushed in 07-12 and the producers were not.

The demand for some distillates are absurdly high and gasoline demand is still strong. Refiners are finally banking as are downstream companies and those relying on feedstocks created from refined petroleum.

Price crashes have collateral damage so hopefully they stabilize but in the mean time down stream companies are doing well.

If it costs a producer $65-$75ish a barrel to get out of the ground, you bet the producers will get hurt.

At today's prices they can't sell below cost but make it up on volume like the car dealers scream on the commercials.

Unless they hedged and booked the price for delivery before the fall.
