If the business can’t sell oil or gas then yes it will have a problem, if this doesn’t then it has a business model of buying assets others no longer want, making the margin better, leveraging and having a guaranteed selling price in order to enable stability.
I’d say this business is pretty stable, assets don’t collapse over night, there’s always more to buy and good price guarantees are exactly that. The bonus is gas and oil prices are naturally driven higher by demand helping the margin too.
I don’t think this is anything like an Enron. I think the macro market is very tight, liquidity is obviously tightening in every field and businesses are struggling. Customers are too but one thing we know as people get poorer they’ll still use energy, oil to live. Demand continues to grow
