Rig count

Peak oil

Production drop

Tariffs

All that really matters is the price of a barrel of oil. It went from $75 to $64 between April 2nd and April 8th. That makes it hard up make money pumping oil out of fracked horizontal wells. I think below $60 and the turn those off.

You’d think the face eating leopards would be getting full, but they seem to be just getting started.

Oh I’m well aware. I’m a victim of the 2015 downturn when prices went from 100+ to 60 dollars.
