In less than 24 months, the price of oil per barrel has fallen from $100 in June 2014 to a thirteen year low of $27. Natural gas prices also were hit hard in 2015, falling to levels not seen for more than a decade. Not surprisingly this decline in commodity prices has driven down the values energy companies, including these examples:
Chesapeake Energy (CHK) , over $20 in March is trading at $1.75.
Kinder Morgan (KMI) , over $40 in March 2015 is trading at $13.95
Range Resources (RRC) is down over 50% to under $27.
Marathon Oil (MRO) down from over $30 to $7.
WIlliams Companies (WMB) down from $60 June 2015 to just over $13.
Linn Energy (LINE) traded at nearly $14 in May 2015 is 37 cents.
Denbury Resources (DNR) traded at over $8 last spring is now barely over $1.
Transocean Ltd. (RIG) trading at $20 last spring is $8.60.
