What the source says
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices rose from an average of $65 per barrel (b) in 2025 to an average of $84/b through August 2026, more than the region’s average breakeven price—the minimum price needed for an operation to cover its costs.
Checked: the figure 84 USD per barrelis stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
