Someone posted an article (not sure in this thread) that talks about the Saudis game plan. It theorizes that the Saudis want to punish three countries: US - for trying to work a nuclear deal with the Iranians, Iran - by reducing the price of oil and their revenue, and Russia who they see as supporting Syria.
I see this as Saudis trying to regain market share, and if the shale and oil sands boom is disrupted, and the Russians are hurt in the process it's a bonus.
