Another oil giant (Suncor) has gotten production costs down to nearly $40/barrel ($42 to be exact), joining other Canadian Oil giants such as Canadian Natural Resources, Cenovus and Imperial all within $40 to $45 a barrel cost of productions

 

Meanwhile USA shale drillers costs are steadily rising not only amod tarrif costs for things like steel but also due to tier 1 best acrage resource exhaustion forcing drilling into less economic areas pushing average production costs to $70 to $75 a barrel

 

Despite stricter environmental standards and regulations plus a carbon tax, Canadian companies in a few short years managed to go from higher cost than US Shale to nearly half the operating costs as oil sands extraction technologies have come a long way including more energy efficiency and self driving trucks.

 

Canada is currently the worlds 4th largest producer but USA remains the worlds top producer at over 13M barrels a day

Likely a factor in the US going after Iran, or more accurately the Gulf sea. 

Establish further control over the gulf oil states with their significantly cheaper production costs.
