Thus when crude oil gets back to $15/bbl, expect energy companies to table more exploratory and in field development projects once again.

There is also a time lag involved. Just as the e&p companies did not turn off the budget process immediately when oil dropped below $15, it will not turn on again until it rises above and stays there for perhaps 3 months or more before you would see any pickup in this area.

I really wish this thread would quit trying to guess the bottom(s). The stocks follow oil prices and the trend is still down despite day to day fluctuations.
