This. While they are getting less per barrel, they are producing a lot more oil. Most of the competition can't ramp up and down output. They want to kill shale oil. And killing off Russia and other countries that rely on oil for basic functions.

Everyone's favorite socialist country, Norway, will be having a serious decline in revenues...The tiny country is the 8th largest producer of oil.
