Australian-listed oil and gas producer Red Fork Energy has become the first such business to succumb to the effects of the recent global crude oil price fall. Its stock had declined from $A0.38 in late 2013 to just $A0.006 in early December 2014. In mid-2013 the group sourced over $A47m in fresh capital at a price per share of $A0.43, and among the major stockholders to now suffer losses is Ellerston Capital with a stake of 10.9%. Red Fork, which has shale oil and gas assets in the US, cannot service its liabilities of $A100 with Guggenheim Partners
