It doesn't bode well for us. Our groups in TX, LA, UT, and AR have pretty much slowed to a crawl.

We haven't tapped into the synthetic wells yet. Right now just sharpening our pencils and offering huge discounts on services that were already overinflated.
This part of the cycle weeds out the wanna be service companys. We'll be in a good position when it upswings. And it will...as always.

Here's my pencil sharpener...just to show how serious we are.

Just a quick question to clarify. How much does it cost to fill the empty tank in E60 in the US?
