We keep our oil for when it's at 500 dollars in 10-15 years.
You guys make me laugh... you just know nothing about Brazil oil and Petrobrás! The average medium lifting cost of this company is about U$ 14,36/barrel(this happens because there onshore oil and pos-salt reserves ...and is from there is the major oil producer). Actually, today Brazil has got to import 222,000 b/day to attend national consumption. Even when Brent had U$110,00/barrel the selling domestic prices were at U$ 98,00/barrel(established by government), so were being imported losses. Now, with brent at 60,00 the company now is even more profitable. Maybe has got some areas in pré-salt at break-even today, but the investment program had initiated about 4 years ago, nobody can't imagine this scenario.

Dec 13th, 2014 - 08:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Cold winter, China stockpiling, curtailed exploration, green energy shelved and Europeans looking to cut dependency on Russia and this $40 price will be looked back on with fond nostalgia. Fill your boots now while you still can. July 2015 oil will hit $150 and continue on upwards.

It is the same as Argentina crying ....democracy this and democracy that........yet never quiet being a democracy. Pretending to be something never is quite the same as actually being it.
Dec 14th, 2014 - 02:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“In the three geologic formations that account for 88 percent of U.S. shale oil output -- North Dakota’s Bakken and the Eagle Ford and Permian in Texas -- explorers can drill new wells profitably in some areas even if crude falls to $25 a barrel, according to a team of analysts led by Manuj Nikhanj at ITG Investment Research Inc. That’s less than half yesterday’s $67.38 closing price for U.S. crude.”

I've heard 30 to 40 a barrel for July 2015
10. I don't know what you're reading but I'm seeing $35bbl for the next 2 years.
Dec 14th, 2014 - 03:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0China is a mess, u$3T isn't near enough to fix what ails them. Their banks are bankrupt, they have huge civil unrest in the West. Their large Gov't owned companies have been making products for 6 years that nobody is buying. They're probably all bankrupt too. For YEARS China has much paid more for worldwide assets than anyone else would pay. Good luck trying to liquidate them when they need the cash.
Tick Tock Tick Tock
If it goes on like this,

justa joka...
That's what I've heard as well.....30 to 40 for quite some time. The combination between the USA pumping and a supply glut along with dropping demand from China's mess. I see they are looking at another .3% decrease in growth for 2015 for China. That figure may again be aadjusted downward well under 6%.....for a developing nation....not good. The banks started easing money and lowering capital requirement....currently at 75%. I hear they may go to 90% of deposit to lend out. This ballon is going to pop.
Dec 14th, 2014 - 11:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Chinese firms are rewarded for production not sales. The produce and produce but have not had sales for the pruoduction for 6 years. Then they get loans based on inventory to do more production.
Dec 15th, 2014 - 12:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0At some point it will end.
And it won't be pretty.
At that point I hope a lot of mfg is moved back to the USA.
Did you see the article about Ohio re-opening all of these closed plants? I guess there is a little boom there.
The only reason people chose to mfg in China is because it was cheap, its not cheap any longer.
They're screwed.
Cheap labour for some western companies,

like you say, the wise ones will make sure they have a back up and/or new businesses ready to go.
We haven't heard from that stupid Brasilaro in a long time. Wasn't he screeching and screeching about this ridiculous pre-salt oil?
