RE:Good point rapid-fire .. My knowledge is more on our company....Most of the so called smaller producers, really come up as companies that have a lot of acreage, and in some cases needing cash to work their blocks... I wouldnt see them as takeover candidates, at all, no need to take over, you would try and work a jv if you like their land.
There are a few private companies out there, and you can look at some of the property rich public companies as well... and then you can look at PMG, PXT and GTE (those are companies larger than us in terms of production). So if you are talking about PRE's desire for more light oil, you can begin your search with some of that data.
