At a Glance: The crude collapse

The price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil briefly dipped below US$30/b on Tuesday for the first time since 2003, making many forecasts of US$40/b for this year look too optimistic.

BNamericas' wide coverage of the rout explains how Latin America's oil and gas industry has been affected and highlights what some companies and governments are doing to avoid major damage.
