Oil prices plummeted again falling temporarily below $20pb before a partial recovery to $22pb.  This fall in price is an existential threat to the viability of shale oil and could lead to a likely cut in U.S. oil production this year.

This scenario may play to the advantage of OPEC producers like Nigeria who are in a desperate need for increased oil revenues to fund its budget and current account deficit.
