The production cost of a barrel of shale oil ranges from as high as US$95 per barrel to as low US$25 per barrel, although there is no recent confirmation of the latter figure. The industry is proceeding cautiously, due to the losses incurred during the last major investment into oil shale in the early 1980s, when a subsequent collapse in the oil price left the projects uneconomic. Shale has a shorter lead time between drilling and production relative to offshore exploration and other traditional oil projects, making it more responsive to oil price movements. The average breakeven price of oil has fallen 4 percent (or $2 per barrel) over the past year, to $50 per barrel, according to the latest Dallas Fed Energy Survey. In fact, oil prices used to trade above $100 per barrel, but the shale industry burned through hundreds of billions of dollars. To date, despite lower breakeven prices, the industry is still

Brent crude is currently trading at  Shale oil costs more than conventional oil to extract, ranging from a cost-per-barrel of production from as low as $40 to over $90 a barrel. The cost of conventional oil varies so much that Saudi Arabia can produce at under $10 per barrel, while worldwide costs range from $30 to $40 a barrel.

Shale oil comprises more than a third of the onshore production of crude oil in the lower 48 states. It drove U.S. oil output from 5.7 million barrels per day in 2011 to a record 11.6 They became better at cutting costs the more they drilled.
