The companies with the highest costs and most debt in OPEC and the U.S. will shut down, while those with lower costs and less debt will continue.

IOW, the U.S.
As I understand, when the price drops below $60/bl, the US companies can't make money.

My granddaughter in heavily involved with the Bakken oilfield so I'm watching developments closely.

Hi, Vinny. Some of the bigger outfits in the Bakken will survive oil prices lower than that, but some of the smaller ones, not as easily. WTI crude is going back up now, for the time being ($48.49 a barrel after a quick look at the time of this comment).
