RE:RE:RE:RE:Any comments/thoughts on Crew's Heavy Oil Drilling?Cheadle,
When oil was $35 and companies were in cash preservation mode, I could see why nobody was going to buy anything.
Now, with oil at $60, but companies still not spending their cash, do you think there might be hope for someone wanting to buy some land or operations?
My only fear is that any buyer will want a steal.
What do you think?

Gas, Conde or Oil, whatever provides the best return. They should probably hedge a chunk of the production just to be safe. Everybody is bullish on nat gas and oil, but nobody knows what is ahead of us.
2021 and 2022 is the time to drill and get the money back months later. 2023 will be a year to preserve cash since they really should pay down debt, even if they reach their target of Debt/EBITDA<2.
2021 profitability should be much better than expected...but there are still more than 10 months ahead of us! Debt will go up. I am hoping the market is not going to punish Crew for increasing their debt. They also have the option on an infra sale that they can exercise as early as Q2 2021 I believe.

What are the thoughts here? Grow production, extra cash flow as the netbacks are very high on these oil wells?
