commMarine85..saudi versus U.S.don t think frackers are threat to saudi..think us made deal with saudi to keep production level..us lets the frackers gets squeezed..but long term us doesn t care about them..the frackers have high decline rates and need lots of borrowed money to continually drill new wells ..the US gains from this as the russians and the iranians get hammered by low price..plus saudi could care less about their enemy iran,a shite nation.....the republicans can get keystone rolling with the new senate and there will be plenty of strategic oil available..good hunting to all.
