> This took the total capital spending down from around US$40 billion to around US$25 billion. Further reports stated that even this US$25 billion figure was reduced by another US$5 billion, taking the total capital spending in the year from US$25 billion to US$20 billion. However, every second of every day of every month of every year - whatever Aramco does, whatever it sells, whatever it cancels, whatever it cuts back, however many people it sacks – the meter keeps on running, adding US$205 million every day

Notice the convenient change of units between billions and millions there which makes this seem much worse than it actually is. I also didn't realize Oilprice's bias, but seeing that change of units certainly warned me.
