MQL NEEDS THIS DEAL TO SURVIVE..!!!!Think about it, MQL was going to be called on their debt, all the AOS cash is going to do is payoff a portion of their debt.... not all of it. Then they will need to borrow more to drill new locations in order to mauntain a depleting production and possibly increase it.
Bottom line is they don't make money in the current environment and the gamble is that the price of WTI increases they may start to pay off their debt.
I prefer to have my money rather than rolling the dice with MQL who drove this thing into the ground and are on life support that will end if this deal does not go through...
JMHO
