Record-low share price shrouds Seadrill in uncertainty

The latest slide in the oil price puts severe pressure on the shares in John Fredriksen's Seadrill. In just one week, the price has dropped from USD 5.97 to USD 4.24. Analysts question whether the company can pay its covenants and project that 2016 could be a crunch point for the company.
