da gibt es aber auch andere Einschätzungen dazu. Die Shale Investoren sind es leid, daß ihr Geld mit unprofitablen Investitionen verbrannt wird.
'Shale producers do have to be smarter about production. You can’t lose money on every barrel and try to make up for it in volume. There is strong sign that U.S. shale producers are getting the message at least the smart ones are.
Bloomberg News reports in a must read “For years, investors have played Popeye to the energy industry’s Wimpy, the cartoon character famous for his “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today” motto. In return for the promise of future profits, they’ve funded loss-making energy producers and explorers through a generous mix of loans, bonds and equity.
That may be changing, according to a chorus of analysts ranging from Morgan Stanley to Sanford C Bernstein & Co. LLC. Following Anadarko Petroleum Corp.’s pledge last month to buy back up to $2.5 billion worth of shares, they’re now discussing a new phase in the oil market, with producers far keener to reward investors and more disciplined when it comes to funding their own expansion.
“Investors are no longer rewarding ‘growth at any cost’,” said Martin Rats and Amy Sergeant at Morgan Stanley in a note published late last week. U.S. energy companies have under-performed the broader S&P 500 Index this year partly because of a growing perception that the “E&P (shale growth) model is capital destructive,” according to their colleague, Evan Calio.
Securing such investments has been relatively easy in an era of low-interest rates, cheap financing and eager capital markets, with major investors from short-seller Jim Chanos to DoubleLine Capital LP’s Jeffrey Gundlach drawing links between the easy monetary
environment and an undisciplined boom in U.S. oil production that spurred a collapse in prices.
