The difference is this time it will work if they can hold out for a yr or so. We will see a lot of bankruptcies soon, shale has been battered and on life support except for a handful of companies.

Maybe, but OPEC isn’t much of a cartel if Saudi Arabia is the only member left standing when the dust clears.

Yeah, but the infrastructure, knowledge of fields and equipment are there and can be restarted once prices come back up. Only way would be for Aramco to start picking up these companies at a discount.

Banks will end up owning these assets and as they really don't want to manage them and won't be able to continue managing active drilling programs the production will decline rapidly. Some of these shale oil wells are 65% plus first year decline. Throw in sub $40 oil which looks to be here for quite a while even if we only stay in the teens or 20's for a few months and there is no economic incentive to drill any shale oil wells. The best parts of the Bakken and Eagleford are heavily drilled up leaving only some of the Permian left. The US industry is going back to a few majors and some really small private independents drilling small conventional wells. The biggest winners if they can survive the next 6-8 months may be US natural gas drillers as the huge drops in associated oil natural gas production will rebalance the gas markets.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the majors pick a lot of these companies up and sit on the asset's. EOR and the longterm is what they are looking at. I think it will end up with the majors owning most of the shale acreage and one or two large independent consortiums.

Well. Doesn't seem that crazy now, does it?
