RE: 300,000 $/bopd VALUATION Even on a funds from operations basis, MEG is very expensive again as it trade 25 times its funds from operations annualized.
The estimated funds from operations for 2012 will not be more than 300-350 million.
Not to forget that bitumen is being sold at prices lower than WTI.....the differentials are always there......MEG does not produce light oil and eventually it does not sell its bitumen neither at WTI nor at BRENT price to justify a premium valuation....
Actually as bitumen gets the lowest price among all the oil prices (Edmonton, WTI, BRENT) MEG should trade at a discount in comparison with the other 100% oil producers....
