"Jim P, when would you expect this drop in rig utilization ? December or out to February ?"

It's hard to say when it's bottoms out. The perception in Houston for NG is still optimistic. Most are predicting a recovery in NG prices this spring.

My experience would tell me the bottom falls out when the perception changes to no recovery in sight. I would speculate we will see this happen in the next 3-6 months.

Oil markets are now in a major correction and we may see oil in the teens again. Still have a long way to go before we can predict a bottom or a recovery in oil.

I think there is plenty of time to buy into oil service or oil stocks, but I still feel we will be near a bottom for stocks by year end. We may stay at or near the bottom until the market see a recovery 6-9 months down the road.

Hard to predict a recovery when we haven't seen the collapse yet.

Patience will be rewarded,

Jim
