What about Devon Energy?...................... Devon has the highest number of Viking net section exposure.... more that PennWest...and PennWest announced in mid June that they would consider selling 1 billion is assets rather than cut their dividend.....this does not sound like they are looking to acquire......also noted that when looking at Devon information that they have $5,828,000,000 in cash that they could spend...they obviously have an already high interest n Viking play and they could keep growing with WestFire acquisition....and they have the BIG bucks to do it...just an idea...BB28
