US Independents: stay flat cash flow framework
Report summary
The strategic imperative for US E&Ps now is to deliver cash to shareholders through the cycle. Yet only a handful of independents entered the downturn with clean balance sheets and portfolios capable of near-term cash return. Those few have a huge strategic advantage. Most of the US E&Ps need to de-lever, and many of them will be in debt reduction mode for years – unless WTI prices climb towards US$60/bbl. Prioritizing de-levering means a delay in cash return to shareholders or investing for modest growth.
