OIL COMPANIES WRITE DOWN US$6.5B OF ASSETS

The above was reported in Bloomberg today. This is hardly surprising given the fact that the assets are have fallen by more than 50% in value since last year.

Southwester reported a $2.8B impairment in Q3 while Freeport-McMoran posted a charge of US$3.7B.

Will it get worse? Yes, as many US oil and gas companies have yet to report their Q3 earnings.
