Oil price crash: what supply might be shut in?
Report summary
How low can the price go before different sources of production become uneconomic? Where are production shut-ins most likely? Can governments influence the result? Using our Lens database, we calculated global short run marginal costs (SRMC – operating costs + taxes and royalties) for current production, at the asset level. At a Brent price of US$35/bbl, revenue from 4 million b/d (4%) of global liquids supply does not cover production costs and government share. This rises to 10 million b/d (9%) if prices fall to US$25/bbl.
