et's pretend I'm Saudi Arabia.

If, in one action, I could defund the Asaad regime and cripple Iran's economy, I would call that a great long term benefit.

Oh, and as a perk I gain a lot more market share after it's all over because a lot of people couldn't afford to weather the storm? More market share than I had when it all started? Yes, thank you, I'll take that long term benefit as well.

Oh, and I have close to a Trillion USD socked away for a rainy day and my annual budget is less than $250 Billion. So I can weather this storm longer than just about anybody else and my citizens will never see one bit of economic or social impact and I won't have to cut one program at all.

Tell me why I should even bother listening to the other members of OPEC?


Lots of Ifs so put up some numbers?

Everything I read, they don't have money to support "losing" money for much more than a year.

Most experts site about a year of this price war then prices will stabilize.

So yea, links and things dude.

Simply saying "you are wrong" doesn't make you right.


Facts usually help. So, what are your facts?

I don't think so. I think I'm getting a firm grasp on who I am "debating" here "dude".

The EIA's November outlook report stated Saudi has one of the lowest cost per barrel and cash reserves approaching $1 trillion.

SA's 2014 budget is the highest ever at $228 billion.

They can also make up losses by gaining more market share and even increasing production.

Exactly 1 trillion/228 billion = 4.3 years of budget WITH NO CUTS AND ZERO SALES. It is a hard concept for some to grasp.

Yes, they have a low cost per barrel, but you have to look at their social budget. Seeing they need around $80'ish for their budget; reports vary.


I guess the better question is, in what terms are we talking.

Saudi vs Iran/Russia? Yea, they will win easy.

Saudi vs US Shale? No, this is the 80's anymore.

The shale producers have a lower break-even point than OPEC countries though. OPEC gets stomped in a price war


What makes you think that? Shale oil is very expensive to produce and refine.

Anywhere between $3M on the low end fields to $9M on the high end Bakken to drill a horizontal well. If you don't understand that shale oil/gas is tremendously expensive in the industry and requires a higher price of oil/ng, then you shouldn't be debating this with people who are obviously in the industry (which I am not).

I know prices per barrels. wanted to know why you made that statement. There are a number of shale producers who are/will be just fine.

It's the small guys is mega debt that will more than likely get naught up by the big guys.
