Wait a minute. Aren't they saying the market is oversupplied? Isn't this why the prices may have fallen recently? Further oversupplying the market will drive prices down to far, making drilling, extraction, and refinement financially unviable. One reason why we're in such a mess with price is because it's getting more expensive to get the oil in the first place. And now we're talking about trying to get more from new sources when the market's oversupplied? Bad idea.
