Nobody is changing their mind.  Lets all just wait and see what 2020 brings. It will be very telling. Luddites have a mental block.  You would be seeing more bankruptcies if not for this: Many of the smaller independents locked up small but productive acreage. Unfortunately they gave away "rich" royalty agreements and way way over leveraged. DEPENDING ON THEIR CONTRACT WITH THE LANDOWNER .  . .  .  IF THEY FILE CHAPTER 11 PROTECTION IT MAY NEGATE THE CONTRACT WITH THE LANDOWNER.  THE INDIE IS THEN LEFT WITH A COUPLE OF OLD RUSTY RIGS.  NO RESERVES. A business plan based on praying for a miracle doesn't fly with your banker. Edited August 6, 2019 by SKEP 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Douglas Buckland + 6,308 August 7, 2019 This article makes no sense. They talk about new production and by their own admission ignore depletion concerns. Initial production had never been the issue! Although that too will decline as the sweet spots are drilled out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Douglas Buckland + 6,308 August 8, 2019 Depends on how you read that. Rig count is not production. Can they meet their drilling requirements with the 7 remaining rigs? Were the other 12 rigs 'surplus to requirements'? Generally speaking new LTO wells produce well for the first two years and then decline dramatically. Is Continental saying no loss of production in the short term? Or, as you suggested, they could simply be lying to attract investors. Only time will tell.
