Baird, here again, I must disagree: "but if cash flows for the independent E&P companies fall, they will have less available to budget for drilling."

Drilling is their future, and so long as there is a positive increment they will continue to budget for drilling. Each project should be treated independently, and cash flow projections must be made on a project by project basis at the margin! If the risk-adjusted expected value of the cash flows is positive these companies will borrow to make the commitments.
