For an alternative view:
- US shale boom about to go bust: Nick Cunningham
- US shale: not a revolution, but a retirement party: Art Berman
- some independent US drillers are starting to increase dividends this year
- some of these dividends had been slashed/frozen as a result of the price slump in 2015 and 2016 (the Saudi Surge or "Saudi's trillion-dollar mistake")
- however, publicly-traded US shale companies still underperforming the market in general
- have amassed large amounts of debt
- having trouble raising capital through banks
One, of course, could argue that the US drillers did not need to raise as much capital as in 2015 and 2016.
Just saying.
