A Tale of Two Oil Gluts

Consider this:

The 1980's drop in oil price was due to a supply glut created by the lowest cost producer.
The 2010's drop in oil price was due to a supply glut created by the highest cost producer.

I don't know if this is exactly true or not, but the general idea that Saudi and US production costs are at opposite ends is rather appealing and perhaps very true.
