Continental Resources (CLR). Cash crunch, Solvency issues?

Like so many other up and midstream operators, CLR is down big the last 24 months, but shares have had ~30% reprieve on what seems to me to be an inline quarter. The company has just 11M in cash, down more than 50% yoy. Their investor presentation, like so many others, emphasized access to revolvers, yes, this is liquidity, but what about solvency? Their debt is cheap <5%, and with no common div or preferred stock, their cost of cap seems cheap. Coverage ratios appear strong, 6X ebit/int.

The biggest cheerleaders tend to be the farthest from reality, and H. Hamm definitely has the biggest pompoms. Just today Hamm rebuff the Saudi's and Iran saying CLR will crank up capex and production once oil is north of $40, seems like a lot of shit talking. Thoughts?
