The Libyan said late last month that tight oil (aka US shale) would be the first to be impacted by the drop in oil prices, stating: “If prices stay at $85, we will see a lot of investment, a lot Break even in 2018 averaging at $40/b of oil from shale oil in 2018. Producers will need higher break even average price to support a shale industry burdened by heavy debt. May be $50/b oil average or higher in 2019 from shale is the price the producers will be looking to achieve to keep shale industry going. Even for those oil producers that need to sell their oil for $50 per barrel, that's just to break even. No one runs a business just to break even. The purpose of a business is to make a profit, and, on average, most shale oil companies need to sell their oil for more than $50 per barrel to be successful. The Federal Bank of Dallas may have got right when saying that the breakeven price for US shale oil ranges from $49-$60. But the amount of oil produced from a well can vary a great deal over the course of just a few miles, so you will see a wide range of break-even estimates for a single shale oil play. Shale companies have pushed break-even oil prices below $40 per barrel---but so have major oil companies.
