Oil is traded according to supply and demand. The big problem for the industry is that turning off a well reduces output and debt still has to be services making supply stable, but so is demand. That means small changes can have a massive impact. OPEC+ saying the would increase oil prices by 0.4% made oil prices fall by nearly 10%. Obviously lower demand even by a bit can have similar results.

Collapse

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.
