Hereâs what happens when oil prices crash â and itâs not pretty for producers So the real “curse” is in fact an oil price collapse. The current price collapse – for the first time since 2009 prices are below the symbolic $50 a barrel – is largely a result of the boom in shale oil production in the US, adding more than 3m barrels over the past few years. High prices bring investment and supply, and this boom was no different.

What happens when oil does peak? Binit Patel, an economist at Goldman Sachs, estimates that $50 oil would only add 1% to most western countries' consumer price index . However, it would have a bigger effect in the US, where CPI will rise 1.7%. This will undoubtedly mean the world will become a higher interest-rate place than it is today.

What Happened to Peak Oil? Because oil is such a major source of energy, price swings have big impacts on the economy. For example, every $10 shift in oil prices is equivalent to a 0.1 to 0.3 percent impact to the U.S. economy. So the increase in prices from 2007 to 2008, from $56 to $147, was equivalent to a 1 percent to 3 percent GDP hit.

Why crude oil prices will keep going up Well, I guess you get the idea. Global crude oil production has probably peaked, new discoveries have dried up and there is a shortage of capital for investment purposes. Apart from these factors, if you believe the energy optimists, all is well in the energy industry and the price of oil is about to drop to zero!o, unless this is a permanent global recession (which I doubt), it is inevitable that the price of oil will go up significantly over the medium to long-term. On the supply side of the equation, let me be clear. If I was asked to pick the biggest threat to a sustainable economic recovery, ‘peak oil’ would top that list.
