OK, by bad. But
1) still I'm still left with the impression that US management crafted a not-so-great business plan. It looks like they ran the numbers and saw that the only chance in he11 they have of surviving is with oil <$40.
2) when US filed for chpt. 11 was the price still under $40/barrel?

That's a reasonable guess. Hard to say if it matches what actually happened, though. In any case, $40/bbl didn't really sound out of line at the time.

No, though it did dip below $40 in December.
