Drilling Slowdown on Sub-$80 Oil Creeps Into Biggest U.S. Fields
The slowdown in the U.S. oil-drilling boom spread to two of the nations largest fields this week.
Oil prices have tumbled 29 percent from this years peak, pausing a surge in drilling in U.S. shale plays that has propelled domestic crude production to the most in three decades and brought retail gasoline prices below $3 a gallon for the first time since 2010.

The 153-Year-Old Oil Well That Hasn't Stopped Pumping Yet
About 70 miles north of Pittsburgh, a pothole-pocked dirt road along the side of a warehouse leads to a solitary oil well, undeterred by the recent plunge in crude prices.
McClintock No. 1, the world's oldest continually producing oil well, is still going after 153 years, quietly churning out about 1/10 of a barrel a day from a small spot in a clearing of trees.
Crude bubbles up from this 625-foot chasm regardless of the swings in oil prices, which have slid 30 percent in the past five months amid a glut in global supply. On its best days, McClintock yielded about 175 barrels. It's survived through all the industry's highs and lows, from busts that sent prices below $1 per barrel during the Great Depression to booms that sent them over $140 in 2008.
The well's output today is sold to a fuel company to make motor oil, but that's not really why it's still in operation.
"It's history," said Susan Beates, the 54-year-old curator and historian at the Drake Well Museum, an institution that operates the well for the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. "It's definitely not economically viable right now. It's about the status."
