I worked as a geoscientist and technical manager for the last 37 years and have been totally gob smacked by the insane amounts of capital investment dollars that have been pored into exploration and production for hydrocarbons trapped in impermeable shales. The majority of these plays are not economic under any realistic commodity price scenario, meaning $100/BO, and once on this production treadmill, caused by continuous drilling, companies will not admit that their cash flows will never exceed their annual capital investments. I worked for 20 years for one the companies mentioned and I was amazed that executive management showed cognitive behaviors that became ultimately disastrous to this entity.Great read, just wish that the Oil Executives would take a look and wake up!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ To get an insight on shale story, it's must read. *by K***M on Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2016* As oil price goes down to $30 level, I thought the opportunity came. But I realized it's bit complicated than I thought. The author emphasized the dynamics oil than than merely pointing out the fundamental. To keep oil price afloat, according to him, the market needs the marketing force catering to the institutions which have no physical relation with oil, in that case, Investment Bank. As we know, the investment bank shut down their oil prop trading businesses because of the strict capital requirement. That's why, he said, the price much deviates from the fundamental. But that does not mean the fundamental of shale companies is OK, but quite opposite. The shale players are burdened with high break-even price, prone not just to the market price swing, but to Saudi's ruthless attack. And the vultures - mega oil companies, PE - are waiting for the weakest antelope to die. Meanwhile, in the last chapter, he offered the analytic frame to pick oil related stocks to play the next oil boom. Let me spare the specifics here, I gonna say, it's worth to read. Although I don't know why the renewable energy comes out in the later chapter - that's why I gave 4, not 5 -, I don't think it tarnishes the whole point of the book. So if you want dip into your toe in oil play, please, get into this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Go-To Book for Understanding The Current Oil Market *by 4***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2015* This is the must read book if you want to understand the recent ups and downs of the oil market and particularly how the promise of American shale oil is not likely to result in energy independence for the USA. Dicker digs into the factors that kept oil near $100/bbl (a premise he covered thoroughly in his earlier book,  Oil's Endless Bid: Taming the Unreliable Price of Oil to Secure Our Economy ) and how these have changed since 2014. He then outlines a potential future for the American oil industry, reviews the economics and political forces impacting oil pricing, and finally provides some potential investments to consider when the price of oil inevitably recovers. Dicker provides a comprehensive portrait of global oil in a concise format that is eminently readable. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/15702862-shale-boom-shale-bust-the-myth-of-saudi-america](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/15702862-shale-boom-shale-bust-the-myth-of-saudi-america) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-11*
