The spice will still flow. It always will, until it won't.

Correct. Some people will have access to the consumable calories required to maintain their high standard of living.  Most will not.

Bull headed wild catters are trying to prime their pumps because the banks are still making non-performing loans to them.  If the banks stopped making loans at this rate, which they do because with rates this low they have to - need higher supply to keep margin up - it would freeze up the liabily side of their balance sheet and would need to dump assets to maintain dutiful leverage.

Agreed. More importantly, watch the inventories at Cushing as an indicator of storage plays being unwound. The draws recently are due to that, motivated by the flattening curve.

The only possible explanation is that there are,in fact,only 1 oil rig in the USA actually producing oil..The other 630 wells are producing billions of dollars in zero percent financing,which the oil companies use to buy back shares of their own stock,and pay executive compensation packages.

LOL the old worthless rig vs production data based on EIA algos.

States report production declines and that thing still powers off into the sky.

Wasn't oil production supposed to have collapsed and oil prices headed back up to $80 by now? What happened? It looks like the lower oil prices go, the more the frackers have to produce to service their debt. It's a race to the bottom
