    I don’t think Chandler has it right. The drop of oil will indeed mean shale is not profitable. Heck, it wasn’t profitable for many operators at $100/barrel. Drillers need the financing because it’s negative cash flow (chronically) and NOT profitable.

    One may ask how can a drilling operation get financing and not be profitable. The answer: Ponzi scheme.
