i truly believe that is part of the problem, but, $150 a barrel is not due to dollar devaluation, and consumption will go down...

at what point do they not sell enough product to start losing money???

Well, the rest of the “world market”* is picking up, so the answer may simply be “we’ll sell it to someone else” and they won’t lose money.
(*I’m thinking Brazil, India, China in particular — Those countries are pulling their ‘lower classes’ up by providing more just [better] laws to those who would work for money.)
