Breakeven Prices for Oil & Gas

[dan_s]

Highest oil breakeven is in Williston Basin; for gas it’s the Fayetteville

Lowest oil breakeven is the Midland Basin; lowest for gas is the southwest Marcellus

A report from KLR Group on May 23 has pegged the breakeven costs for various oil and gas plays around the United States. The report looked at capital performance of E&P companies, and found that the highest breakeven for oil among the basins in the U.S. is NYMEX $67 per barrel for oil, while the highest breakeven for gas is NYMEX $3.70 per Mcfe.

This article goes a long way to explaining why I have been saying for over a year that crude oil below $50 and natural gas below $3.50 are "unsustainable". There are very few places in the world where upstream companies can justify drilling new wells with oil & gas prices that low.
