The break-even price also depends on the company drilling for oil. Different companies have different business practices, utilize different technologies, and have different cost structures. The breakeven cost of producing oil from U.S. shale is roughly the same as non-shale, despite the tidal wave of investment into the sector. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, the LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. shale producers need a WTI oil price around $50 per barrel to break even, according to an analysis of financial statements for the second quarter. Shale Flattens Oil Cost Curve, Anchors Futures Prices.

But in reality, it is more complicated. $50 is an average, and although some wells, in certain areas of the Permian, can break even at prices between $32 and $47 per barrel, Shale companies have pushed break-even oil prices below $40 per barrel---but so have major oil companies. Analysts commonly portray cost reduction as something unique to the tight oil companies.
