when the real news hits the stands, oil will drop to the mid to low 40.s, companies will shut down or go insolvent, supply will drop, prices will rise,,,drilling will start ack....and the circle goes round and round.

In the meantime, every cycle will bring, mergers and casulties, first those being the tar sand producers.

In a short period of time, the tarsand will consist of Syncrude and perhaps CNQs operations.  The rest will be mothballed due to persistent losses.
