Chart of the Month
This chart compares the producer netbacks from crude oil, and from North American natural gas. At a price of $100/barrel, oil netbacks are at all-time peak levels, over $60//barrel. At a price of $2/Mcf, gas produces virtually no net cash flow.
Virtually every producer of natural gas is hurting from the extremely low gas prices, and those operators that are primarily gas producers, whether very small or very large, are most impacted. Production from the traditional gas basins generally has high cost gas; gas with high processing costs is more impacted, as is gas that is more remote from markets (western Canada, US Rockies). Producers that carry a debt burden on their balance sheets are most vulnerable --- most are trying to sell assets to reduce their debt level, as their cash flow to support the interest cost has plummeted, while bankers are reducing loan authorization to reflect the lower reserve valuation.
