It was actually the fact that their cost was $80 per barrel that was a concern. With rising costs and the fact they are only getting $100 a barrel in North America as opposed to $120 for Brent, it is a problem for Canadian producers.

I think the range that has been put forward by some analyst was between $70 to $100 per barrel. An extended move to $70 would mean a lot of companies would no longer be profitable and they won't be able to raise cash in the stock market.

It is the same concern I have for some of the gold miners. Some of them have cost of as much $1200 per once according to some analysts. A drop in the price of gold would mean some of these companies would not longer be profitable.
