Everyone talks about the expensive nature of shale, well I’m saying all that is horse shit.
We have local production at under $10/bbl CDN, and these guys are struggling at $50 USD?
Nope, fake news. Long/short - the USA is truly going to show the world how to drown in oil.

10$/bbl? Care to post proof?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
If your talking strictly operating costs then sure maybe some facilities can keep the lights on for 10$/bbl but I highly doubt any project including CapEx costs over the lifetime of the facility would be covered for 10 bucks.
OpEx. I’m saying operating cost of the facility is $10/bbl and less.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
And I’m speaking SAGD Operations, specifically.

Here some MEG proof.
Again OpEx.
Record low per barrel net operating costs of $5.09 per barrel, including low non-energy operating costs of $4.62 per barrel, compared to guidance of $4.50 to $5.00 per barrel;

Including CapEx a shitload of the projects can be done for an all in cost of under $20CDN.
Some plants just east of us are producing for $7/bbl!!!

Opex below $10/bbl I totally believe.
Full-cycle project costs including debt servicing costs are more interesting to me because that's what the next incremental barrel from a new project needs to be evaluated on.

Bonavistas cash costs are higher than their opex.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
$10/bbl full cycle cost are non-existent in Western Canada. $10/boe half cycle capital costs are doable, but usually the low numbers have a decent gas component that’s worthless.
My grandpappy used to say: You can't get blood from a stone, but you can squeeze a rock and get oil.

Alright fair. Funny you mention that I was reading an article about the oil sands reducing their emissions today and saw this bit.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Oilsands takes a huge amount of investment, but once an operation is up and running, it has 50 to 60 years of steady supply, and all those decades to refine its processes. Since 2009, Laut said per-barrel costs of production at CNRL have dropped, from $42-$44 US per barrel to $15 US. He’d like to get that number to $10 per barrel.
Just read an article that says Husky is producing for $8/bbl.
Not sure what he meant by sustaining, but it could mean and all in cost of 13-16/bbl including CapEx CDN.
Dirt cheap! And shale is breaking even at $40-50USD? Give me a break.

Just to add to this.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Many moons ago questions were raised by the public on the BBC TV show question time, that we (the UK) can we not use its natural resources in the north sea to do better. The type of oil is not the same. The UK has the opposite problem. Its not heavy. The UK struggles for resources.
The heavy stuff is what the world needs to run its economy, mine resources and build infrastructure. We have lots of resources and we don't want to build, be self sufficient or do anything with it.
ShaleProfile released it's Permian update. Here's data from Permian Hz Oil wells only.

How are the costs on those 2019 first run wells? I work in downstream so little knowledge about that but I've heard talk that all of the easy plays in the Permian are starting to be tapped and costs will start to rise for them? This is just what I heard though.
Costs for drilling have been declining steadily, although that trend is pretty flat now. Costs for completions are highly dependent on frac intensity. It costs more money to pump 2x the sand, but the economics of doing so appear to be favourable. Or the companies that are doing it claim they are.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
A bigger problem for most Permian players is not costs rising, it's high declines giving them a falling cash-flow.

Good chart.
Production data dumped yesterday. USandA held strong at 12,800.
Do we see 13 by year end?

If I'm reading that right, in one year the wells lose 60% of their production? Thats crazy.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Lol 60 is a low estimate, that’s the average of a whole year of wells...
80%+ is more realistic.
Got to love unconventional oil.

The funny thing is that there are ways to lower decline, but it's a trade-off, and depending on how you run your economics, it's not popular. Anyone who uses "time to payout" as their main economic metric doesn't give a shit about declines.

As long as you make enough in the first year to pay out the well who gives a fuck about the decline or eye beyond that.
