Hay mucha información acerca de los break-even del shale:

Varían mucho lógicamente en función del tipo de pozo, ubicación, etc... como verás la curva de aprendizaje, la mejora de los ratios de producción, el abaratamiento de los servicios de escala, etc.... hacen competitivo.
Luego puedes ver en este artículo este apartado que te extraigo de lo que hablo tanto acerca de como la eficiencia, curva de aprendizaje, ajuste de empresas competitivas va a mejorar el inicio de un mercado (como los wildcatters de principio de siglo XX)

First, the current level of oil prices means that, from the perspective of producers, it only makes economic sense to develop their highest-quality acreage. It also forces these companies to put a premium on efficiency in development, meaning the use of technically advanced, cost-effective approaches. (Technological advances in the shale arena have already led to sizable jumps in efficiency. As an example, while the number of rigs remained stable between 2011 and 2014, production of shale oil and gas tripled, rising from around 4 million barrels of oil equivalent per day to about 12 million barrels of oil equivalent a day.) The net effect of this will be that U.S. shale oil producers’ break-even costs will fall, making the companies’ earnings stability less vulnerable to the effects of future price cycles. This will be crucial for these businesses, we think, given what we consider the likelihood of an increasingly volatile oil-price environment—irrespective of the absolute level of oil prices—in the years ahead.
Second, the slump in rig activity—activity today is about 60% below last year’s peak—has cooled an overheated market in equipment and services, resetting development costs to lower, more sustainable levels. A similar “cost reset” is happening in all major oil basins world-wide. And while excessive cost and complexity are less of an issue for producers of U.S. shale oil than they are for, say, some developers working in challenging offshore basins (see my previous post on this topic, “Seven Steps Oil Companies Should Take Amid Falling Prices“), a parallel reset of costs in the U.S. means that the relatively advantaged cost position that most developers of U.S. shale oil enjoy versus their global competition will be secured.
