Optimistic view of shale oil impact in my opinion.

These are high cost reserves with high depletion rates that just cant stand low oil prices over any extended period. I expect US companies to start announcing cutbacks to their drilling programs if oil remains below $80/BBL.

The shale basins all have 'sweet spots' that produce well and the 'not so sweet' spots that are marginal/unprofitable even at $100/BBL. The sweet spots are drilled first of course - which is driving today's drilling activity.
