Totally agree, they drilled to much gas without understanding the market . Now with China slowing down , there are chances it will take at least a year for gas to come back to 4...
As old contracts which are signed at a rate of 4$ are coming to end. Companies are forced to sign new contract for exporting gas at a cheaper rates (i:e below 3$). Since, time frame for these contracts are usually 3 years its impossible for companies to make profit at this price.
