Our forecast remains unchanged that you could see frac fleets fall to ~130-150 by 2H 2020, if prices stay range bound between $20s - $30s (WTI). Even though many operators are hedged. (see our hedge book data). Some companies are opting to use the cash from hedge operations to shore up balance sheets.
