88E will be smacked today - but should recover. They are drilling for oil to be sold off in a years time after Horizontals are drilled in Q1 2021.
Oil price today, next month, 6 months time does not matter. They remain proving its commercial, then onwards to horizontals Q1 2021. So provided they strike some commercial oil - plan is in place.
The companies facing oblivion are those with high debts and those trying to get finance now....... big troubles.
That quick and dirty placing to raise money ahead of spud is now a very very good piece of work by 88E. No immediate funding needs and no net debt.
Russia cannot handle oil below 45$........expect a resolution soon and new agreement, or the Rouble will be collapsing soon.
US and Russia both in trouble with oil below 40$.........the ball is now in Putins court to make a new agreement or face massive problems.
