    there was an article on cnbc.com not too long ago. about 2 banks losing 530 million because 3 facing companies were closing shop. they needed $58 just to break even.

    530 million in the oil biz is like 100 bucks to you and me... it's nothing to the oil industry. . Yea some companies will go under..and most of the fracking job will finish up and they will stop fracking new wells along with the thousand's of old wells they were planning on fracking. ..as a frac job is about 2 million $.. it takes $60 a barrel to make a profit on a fracked well. . But they will not shut in the wells witch are already producing.. thats like u having a machine plugged into the wall the prints out 100 dollar bills.. are u going to unplug it because it only prints 900 dollars a hour instead of 1000.. there is so much oil out here to be moved.. u couldn't even imagine.. we put on average 180 barrels of oil on a truck at one time and transport it to the pipeline.. just my company alone moves over a million barrels a day and we are still behind

    If they choke back the wells even crude haulers will suffer. EOG isn't choking back yet but are putting wells on timers that don't produce much to let pressure build up.
