Maybe the new congress will give them a bailout.

Culling the herd, exactly as it should work

Quote:

The price decline has put acute pressure on small companies with weak balance sheets and hurt sales for related services companies that sell everything from sand to drilling rigs to temporary housing.

If any company in and around the oil industry has a weak balance sheet after the last many years, there is probably a more fundamental problem internally and/or poorly managed.

Only in Obama's America could an oil company go bankrupt.

It did in the 80's.

The one's at risk loaned based on glowing speculations of rising oil prices.

The "Junior-Birdmen" VP's in 3-piece suits passing out loans like flower petals will blame ...... someone else for their demise. No more perks: deer hunting and jet rides.
