The Economist and WSJ on shale oil, the Saudis and oil prices in 2015 and beyond
01/13/2015
The Economist points out that shale oil production technology is at the early stages with production costs likely to come down from an average of $57 a barrel. With the relatively small costs to start drilling in shale deposits and extensive new shale deposits in the U.S. and other parts of the world, shale is likely to remain a factor in oil production and prices for a long time. Any impact of Saudi oil price cuts on shale oil production is likely to be temporary, as new advances in the technology and efficiency will make shale oil a serious source of oil supplies. Already some efficient shale oil producers have costs below $35 a barrel in the U.S., according to the CEO of CSX Railroad. CSX has dropped the fuel surcharge to improve the competitiveness of shale transported by rail from the Bakken shale region in N. Dakota.

The impact on the U.S. railroad industry of lower oil prices in 2015
01/14/2015
The railroad industry will continue to do well in 2015 because crude oil transport is only a small part of their business. The effect of a shift to natural gas from coal for some utilities, and the shift of some shipping to truck with a 20% drop in diesel prices, will have some impact. Overall railroads expect to show strong earnings with the growth in the U.S. economy.

Lower prices for Canada's shale oil and Canada's economy, the impact in 2013-2016
02/20/2009
The significant impact on the Canadian economy and on Alberta of the lower prices for Canada's shale oil. Discounts for Canada's shale oil relative to Brent crude benchmark international oil pricesand U.S. benchmark price range from 20 to 50%. Canada's shale oil was Dat $80 per barrel in April 2013, compared to $94 for U.S. benchmark price and $106 for Brent international crude oil price. This has reduced GDP in Canada for 2012 by 0.4% for the second half of 2012, according to Canada's central bank. GDP growth is sluggish at 1.8% for 2012. The impact in lower government tax and royalty revenues is significant for Alberta.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
