    Nope, it's contained in the very first paragraph of this article. It was common knowledge then as it is now.

    OPEC flooded the market, took losses, in an attempt to forestall/eliminate production of the new found sources here and abroad, and did so quite effectively, for the short term. It will be a while till our new wells, that were mothballed because of OPEC's action are again productive. Then the market price will effectively be set.
