"The list of companies that are financially stressed is considerable," warns one analyst as shale debt has almost doubled over the last four years while revenue has gained just 5.6%"

ISO, the number that really caught my eye was the 5.6% revenue increase in four years. That is mathematically impossible, at least in the Bakken.

From state of ND.....
Oil production 03/10 277610 BOPD
Oil production 03/14 977061 BOPD
An increase of approx 250%
dmr.nd.gov

Oil prices 05/10 approx $77.00
Oil prices today approx $103.00
An increase of approx 33%
nasdaq.com

How could those numbers possibly add up to a 5.6% revenue increase?

The major players in the Bakken have had vastly higher revenue increases over the last four years.

This is not to say that everyone is a winner there. Lots of players with marginal land are not going to make it. It also appears that many companies are on a financial treadmill where their spending is always outstripping their cash flow but still, this stupid hit piece doesn't shed much light on anything.
