We Make Shale Profitable
The dynamic of shale has changed the business from one of resource scarcity to one of resource abundance. The prolific nature of shale reservoirs will forever be unprofitable in the hands of these bureaucrats. Many have doubted me about these claims, however I think the evidence is in now. The SEC methodology of accounting created a bias toward overinvestment and overproduction in the industry. Adding shale to bad accounting is the same toxic mix of matches and gasoline.
Once these Annual General Meetings are over, the producers will have to turtle their operations. Hiding in their shells is about the only thing that is going to help them pass the days away. And there are many days ahead in which to get through. How they make each nickel scream blue bloody murder will be an art unto itself. You have to remember however, they will be doing this on top of the destruction that has already taken place. Some producers have been able to sell assets, however I think that season will be short and too painful to face. The banks take the money anyways. The fact of the matter is these next six months will be the point in time when they have indeed run out of options.
I think we have gone through the phase of the investor class known as the bottom feeders. Some companies were able to raise some money in the market these past three months at fire sale stock prices. I think even the bottom feeders have seen enough, it is however difficult to understand the bottom feeders mentality. Conventional investors in oil and gas gave up a while ago. Banks summarily gave up a month ago. Accounts payable are now extended into the annual instead of monthly time frames. Making life in the service industry impossible. These producers appear to be generating enough to make payroll but that’s about it. The choice will come down to do we support the field operations or make payroll? Either way their finished.
Bankruptcy assumes that you have a viable operation. That the organization just overspent and threw itself into too much debt and can’t meet its creditors demands. But the businesses in bankruptcy still generate enough cash in order to keep the lights on. Oil and gas producers may be rejected by the courts for bankruptcy protection. Their not a viable going concern that has a future, what will the bankruptcy trustees do with an oil and gas producer?
