Projected 2021 Numbers
Using the 2021 budgeted numbers which I believe, and the current strip pricing which I also feel confident in, they should have funds flow around 1.15 billion and free cash flow around 500 million which is pretty respectable. If prices hold up I can see them increasing drilling. From past history they can increase q in 90 to 120 days by 20000 boepd.

They are restricted by the hedging parameters of the board. Usually hedged at 50 percent or less. The oil hedge may have been made in early 2020. Not sure about the gas hedge and when it comes off. 2020 is right about counterparties. That said you can usually hedge at any time. You hedge to protect downside or when on balance of probabilities you think prices will drop.

Thx guys for the insights. Didn't see anything on VIIs presentation for 2022 and beyond so thought I'd ask you guys.

Rob. 2022 and beyond is deeper in the presentation. Most of their gas hedges are actually costless collars.

Top. Good comments on hedges. Thanks for the nice words. I just try to issue the facts as I see them based on ten years experience in the Montney and other unconventional plays. I was fortunate to get in on the ground floor technically. I think we are in for a good year. And with the costless collars on gas we are in a real good position.

You know me retired , I only call it as I see it and as usual , you are way too modest . We do both agree on our outlooks for 2021 , I too feel this year will be one we won't soon forget (but for all the right reasons) . Cheers my friend !!!

500 million in FCF with 334 million shares means about 1.50 a share in FCF mean the stock is trading at about 5X FCF for 2021. How much upside to you see in the stock that is trading at 5X FCF? 6X FCF is 9 dollars, 8X FCF is 12 dollars Where do you think it will max out?

I think 6.5 is doable. What is POU trading at?

Rob. Rather than buying shares they should pay down debt in my opinion. If they paid of 500 it would bring debt down to about 1.7 billion. So at 1.1 b in flow the debt to flow is 1.7 versus 2.0. It would also give them a credit line of 2 billion more than enough to take out who ever they wanted to. Of course I'm not running the company.

Well HP it's good to be tough on the guys running things in the patch to keep em honest right? If anything, you've inspired me to do a deep dive into the numbers on VII vs. POU on q4 and beyond which I will attempt (lol). We'll see how the market treats these guys going forward but I am certainly counting myself among the many bullish VII voices on here. GLTA
