Tight oil holds profitability despite price drop study says
Wood Mackenzie finds most tight oil from the Permian Basin and other regions stays profitable if oil falls to 75 dollars per barrel with some plays surviving even lower prices. Analysts Harold York and Ray Perryman note robust economics, limited leverage, and strong global demand underpinning inland production. The study aims to answer what it would take to derail the shale boom.
