The combination of closed capital markets and weak prices are pulling cash out of the system. Investors are imposing capital discipline on E&P’s by pushing down equity prices and pushing up the cost of capital on debt markets. It all represents the strongest headwinds for shale producers since the oil price collapse in 2015.
