“There will be a lot of companies that don’t survive this downturn,” said Ryan Fitzmaurice, energy strategist at Rabobank. “This is one of the worst on record.”

‘Unprecedented’ stress in the oil industry

Signs of stress abound in the oil patch.

The S 500’s energy sector has lost more than 40% of its value this year despite the dramatic rebound in the overall stock cover samsung s2 market over cover samsung 6 the past month.

Noble Energy (NBL), Halliburton (HAL), Marathon Oil (MRO) and Occidental EpbyM GG Logo Custodia iPhone 11 PRO Max GG Cover iPhone 11 PRO (OXY) have all lost more than two thirds of their value. Even cover samsung s8 plus silicone Dow member ExxonMobil (XOM) is down 38%.
