Week 8: February 22, 2015 -- February 28, 2015

The top story of the week remains the slump in oil prices with Brent around $60 and WTI around $50. Active rigs in North Dakota have dropped to 119, well under the 190 that otherwise might be seen, and there is nothing to suggest the number of rigs won't drop further.
