Shale oil production costs per barrel
At an oil price of $70 a barrel, a US conventional well generates $1190 worth of oil a day compared with $595,000 for a Saudi well and $749,000 for an Iraqi well. Fractured shale is as low as $23 but can vary. Shale Oil is trapped within strata of thin laminates of rock and does not migrate thru many contaminants like sulfur or mercury,so the end product, once freed, is on par or better then sweet crude. Oi According to a Wall Street Journal breakdown of production costs per barrel for 13 large producers, Saudi Arabia can extract a barrel of crude at US$8.98, just a little bit less than Iran, at US$9.08. To compare, the cost per barrel of U.S. shale comes in at US$23.35. This cost includes taxes, It is perhaps better to think of break-even as a bell-shaped curve, where some wells in a shale play can break even at $30, 50% break even at <$60/bbl (for example), but then some small fraction on the far side of the curve don't even break even when oil prices are at $100/bbl.

LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. shale producers need a WTI oil price around $50 per barrel to break even, according to an analysis of financial statements for the second quarter. The production cost of a barrel of shale oil ranges from as high as US$95 per barrel to as low US$25 per barrel, although there is no recent confirmation of the latter figure. At an oil price of $70 a barrel, a US conventional well generates $1190 worth of oil a day compared with $595,000 for a Saudi well and $749,000 for an Iraqi well.

US shale oil producers need crude to fetch a price 10 Mar 2020 A world oil price in the range of $55 to $60 per barrel is less than the cost biofuel production, US and Canadian shale and tight oil production, relatively high-cost US shale oil production can survive in a relatively low oil price environment (sub $60 per barrel). This is the first economic test of the shale range consistent with the production costs of the major marginal producers – to around USD 65-70 per barrel over the medium term if shale oil production is. 9 Mar 2020 Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, were down 22%, last trading at $35.45 per barrel.
