no rollover

should be good for bankruptcy filing, inevitable decline in production, and stabilization of price

NP will continue to service existing clients, but its exit from new business is a rather inauspicious move. Indeed, it suggests that when credit lines are reassessed again in April, we’re likely to see further cuts. “During the previous round of ‘redeterminations’ last autumn, banks cut limits for most customers between 10 and 20 per cent,” FT continues. That’s likely to be the case again in two months, Wells CFO John Shrewsberry said this week at an industry conference in Florida.

As a reminder, virtually the entire sector is cash flow negative. Without access to credit lines, everyone goes belly up. Of course with crude at $27, no one wants the assets the companies have pledged as collateral. As we outlined three weeks ago, some oil and gas drillers’ assets are only fetching a fraction of what they owe at auction.

Amusingly, banks are cutting their own throats by shrinking the credit facilities. That is, you don't necessarily want to bankrupt someone who owes you a lot of money, especially when you won't be able to recover much by selling off the collateral. 

But alas, there's really no choice at this juncture. There's no end in sight to the oil market malaise with Iran ramping up production and a recalcitrant Saudi Arabia dug in for a long war of attrition. 

We anxiously await the next bank to pull the RBL plug and we're even more anxious to find out just how much the banks have provisioned for the losses that are sure to pile up rapidly once the entire sector loses access to its revolvers.
