Remember the good old days when experts decided that the power of the OPEC oil cartel to control oil prices had come to an end? That fracking had made the United States the swing producer, ramping That translates to a $25 per barrel break-even price, meaning U.S. crude oil prices will remain low. Since hydrocarbons are lighter than water, they migrate upwards due to buoyancy. Their movement is stopped when they reach a low permeability layer of rock that forms a “hydrocarbon trap.” Since on average each new well has a fixed start up cost of around $9 million, regardless of how much oil it will produce, further expansion of shale oil production will only break even north of the current $76-$77 level. Fracking is an expensive business. Depending on site structure, companies need prices of between $60 (£40) and $100 per barrel of oil to break even. As prices drop to around $55 per barrel, investments in the sector look ever more vulnerable.
