Wall Street is trying to bail out the shale oil industry. Again.

Energy executives at last week’s IHS Energy CERAWeek conference in downtown Houston worried that banks and thejunk-bond market will stay tightfisted for a while even after oil price srecover, wary of an oil-production burst after getting burned by the oil-market crash.

But equity investors, lessrisk-averse than lenders, have poured $7.7 billion into 12 U.S. oil companiesin a series of stock sales in recent weeks, egged on by signals that crude prices have bottomed.

“Capital market shave short memories,” said Bobby Tudor, chairman and chief executive of Houston investment bank Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co. “They open when people start making money again.”

It’s shaping up to be a replay ofthe $13 billion equity infusion in the first half of 2015, when cash-strapped drillers sought to ease financial pressure amid anemic oil prices. The pay offfor investors last year was short-lived: crude prices eventually crumbled again, and the S&P stock index for oil exploration and production companies has fallen 52 percent from a year ago.

Fast forward to December 2015. At first, only relatively healthy West Texas oil producers like Diamond back Energy, Parsley Energy and Pioneer Natural Resources could tap equity markets.But over the last few weeks, Wall Street has opened up to other drillers like Houston-based New field Exploration, Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. and Oasis Petroleum.So far, it has worked out for investors. The companies’ stock prices have increased by an average 7.6 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

On Monday, Denver-based QEP Resources announced plans to sell 30 million shares at $10 a share soon, for a $330 million raise, regulatory filings show.

“This could markthe beginning of billions of additional dollars to be raised in the coming weeks,” Tudor Pickering analysts wrote in an email to clients last week. “With strong post-deal stock performance stats so far this year and no end in sightfor available sidelined capital, (it’s) hard to see what slows the process.”

Apart from short-term financial fixes, one reason oil companies are raising capital is to support their drilling budgets. U.S. oil producers in years past have outspent their cash flow by a third to a half to keep growing production.

It’s not yet clear whether this recent infusion of capital will change the course of U.S. crude production. The International Energy Agency believes the nation’s oil output will fall by 800,000 barrels a day over the next two years, enough to realign global production and demand by early 2017.

But if shale production proves more resilient than expected, “then the rebalancing will start even later than we currently forecast, as will the price recovery,” said Neil Atkinson,Paris-based head of the oil industry and markets division at the IEA.
