"Without getting into specifics (and definitely not conspiracy theories) does anyone else get the feeling there is stuff going on in the world that is being ignored. I really don't like the noises and actions of Russia for example. " Russia is actually a bit quiet because Putin said that there's no problem with Coronavirus, but it seems to have arrived. His position is based on looking strong, but his military spending and projection of power abroad will not compensate for Russians dying due to incompetence. At the same time Saudi Arabia has crashed the price of oil. Thus could permanently shut down companies in the USA and Russia. Russian oil on particular is expensive and a shut down would make large areas uneconomic to reopen, especially with the transition to renewables reducing energy costs. The US just dropped it's vehicle emissions standards to "improve pollution levels" 
Countries like Hungary and Turkey have governments using this as a pretext to grab power.
Even the UK Parliament has stopped work, even though it is not beyond the wit of man to listen and contribute to debates and vote on line.
So yes there is plenty of stuff going on... | |||

This thread is speculative. That's rather the point."The USA had a ban on exporting oil up until 2016 this was to use up everyones oil while keeping their own reserves.When the price is high they use domestic produced oil and when low import it.If the oil price is low for any amount of time the oil companies slow production and stop exploration .The shale oil companies are small fry in comparison they come and go, a company will start up lease a field and go wildcatting sometimes they are lucky sometimes not.If the price drops for to long to not make it viable and the company will fold of course but the lease will be sold to a bigger company who can afford to hold on to it until the price rises. | |||

A company makes money by producing and selling a product at as high a price as possible.
Selling a product at a low price is not a "win". Selling a product at a loss is not a "win". Furloughing or sacking staff is not usually considered a "win". The cost of maintainig a facility making no money and restarting it is higher than keeping it in continuous production. This is not a "win".
Now, are you planning to address the OP or just try to go after me again?just putting your right on usa oil policy which by the way is a bit hypocritical as you are so keen on threads staying on track.As for the Russians no just maneuvers in my opinion.
The point that I was making is that the oil price crash is due to Saudi Arabia wanting to kill a lot of its rivals off.
What's your theory?
You haven't really mentioned US oil policy. I wasn't talking about it either. I've covered the logic of why not making money is not a win/win.
I have also indicated why shale oil and stripper well companies will fail.
This thread is speculative. That's rather the point.The USA had a ban on exporting oil up until 2016 this was to use up everyones oil while keeping their own reserves.When the price is high they use domestic produced oil and when low import it.If the oil price is low for any amount of time the oil companies slow production and stop exploration .The shale oil companies are small fry in comparison they come and go, a company will start up lease a field and go wildcatting sometimes they are lucky sometimes not.If the price drops for to long to not make it viable and the company will fold of course but the lease will be sold to a bigger company who can afford to hold on to it until the price rises. "The USA had a policy of "using up" everyone else's oil? How's that working out? You know that the US has the world's 11th highest reserves. Venezuela and Saudi each have about 300 billion barrells compared to about 40 billion for the US. The energy market is also shifting decisively away from fossil fuels. So you meant "other" oil companies would stay open then? Not the ones that will go bankrupt 
Shale oil is about 69% of US production and the easy sources are tapped out. It's already relatively expensive and new fields will cost more to exploit.
18% of US oil is produced from stripper wells which were already at the limit of viability. Once they close it is uneconomical to reopen them.
What's your theory on why there is an oil price war? Anything to do with Russia not agreeing to reduce production and annoying Saudi Arabia once too many?
There are going to be even bigger problems with less stable states like Nigeria and Iraq losing oil revenue. Incidental but serious fallout.
Returning to the OP as you don't have the courtesy to, once you start looking at the mesh of politics and economics and overlay that with despotic personalities we probably know next to nothing about what and why | |||

"Without getting into specifics (and definitely not conspiracy theories) does anyone else get the feeling there is stuff going on in the world that is being ignored. I really don't like the noises and actions of Russia for example. Russia is actually a bit quiet because Putin said that there's no problem with Coronavirus, but it seems to have arrived. His position is based on looking strong, but his military spending and projection of power abroad will not compensate for Russians dying due to incompetence. At the same time Saudi Arabia has crashed the price of oil. Thus could permanently shut down companies in the USA and Russia. Russian oil on particular is expensive and a shut down would make large areas uneconomic to reopen, especially with the transition to renewables reducing energy costs. The US just dropped it's vehicle emissions standards to "improve pollution levels"
Countries like Hungary and Turkey have governments using this as a pretext to grab power.
Even the UK Parliament has stopped work, even though it is not beyond the wit of man to listen and contribute to debates and vote on line.
So yes there is plenty of stuff going on...
How would this put US firms out of business?
So you think Russia are just peacock ing with their warships in the Channel?
The oil price reduction? A lot of US oil firms are only viable with oil above a certain price. Many were killed the last time the oil price was pulled down. Together with an economic downturn making borrowing harder this will kill off another tranche.
Like any leader who cannot deliver at home for their population, Putin finds an external threat to demonstrate his power against.
What do warships or aeroplanes travelling near the UK actually achieve? It's just a dog pissing on a lamp post.Have you ever worked in the oil industry?The downturn in oil prices does not kill oil companies in the USA.They simply conserve their stocks and import when it is cheap until the price rises again.Its a win,win for them as unlike the opec countries they have other industries to rely on.
You don't have to work in an industry to be able to read.
I plumbed my tap and sink. They've been functioning without leaks for several years. Never worked as a plumber.
That's not to say that working in an industry doesn't give you greater insight, bit it can also blind you. If you have been retired then your views and knowledge could be very outdated.

Stripper wells that are reaching the end of their lives are unlikely to reopen once closed as they are only marginally economic now.
Every day's a school day Mate you think you are an expert on everything but i can tell you, you do not have a clue on this subject.
I haven't claimed expertise. I merely point d you towards information that you have been unable to refute.
Incidentally, you have not really contributed to answering the OPs question. You seem to want to discredit me.
That's fine but rather discourteous to the original author.
If you hadn't noticed we are in a pandemic driven global recession. The USA cannot rely on its other industries anymore than anyone else can.
You have essentially said that a company is in a good situation when it has no income and a competitor is selling its product into its market. Is that correct?

Was the US hoping that other countries would "use up" their oil reserves that were many multiples of theirs only until 2016? How's that relevant to the current discussion then? They want to piss the Russians off because what happened in 2016?
Trump is changing vehicle pollution legislation to make oil production economically viable. Ultimately he'll kill the US auto industry because it will fall so far behind the rest of the world as it transitions away from gas.
I'll do my research as I see fit using a range of sources from the I ternet to energy analysts to oil company strategists. You can allow your daytime drinking and antiquated knowledge to inform yours
