RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:The Market is speakingHSE has not just excess refining capacity but also spare pipeline capacity. They stated at the last earnings call that for exaclty this reason they are able to benefit from a wide WCS-WTI differential. It's possible they are even buying part of MEG's output that has no contracted pipeline capacity. By acquiring MEG now, they can effectively and permanently 'lock-in' the advantage of this wide differential. I agree with other posters that the chance of another bidder emerging is slim, and MEG shareholders face a real risk that the stock drops substantially if the offer is rejected. Great move by HSE, and I hope with a small increase in premium they can get the MEG BOD onboard It's really a win-win for all concerned.
