MEG has about 10X the oil reserves of BTE WITHOUT even considereing the GROWTH properties that have NOT been well drilled due to lack of capital !!!
MEG will produce 100K bbls/d for at LEAST 40 YEARS just with SUSTAINING and MAINTENANCE capital.
BTE (the Eagle Ford and especially the RRX part) must EXPEND an ENORMOUS amount of capital just to keep production CONSTANT with their VERY HIGH decline rates ( 35% BTE corporate, 42% just at RRX).
NOBODY beats the CAPITAL EFFICIENCES of in-situ SAGD. Cenovus is the MOST EFFICIENT of the lot. $ 13,000 to $ 14,000 growth capex per flowing barrel !!!!!!
Then there is the PROVEN SKILLSET of the team with the HIGH IP reservoir SAGD technology (eMSAGP & eMVAPEX) and upgrading technology (HiQ).
Regulatory approval of 210K bbls/d (@Christina Lake), imminent on another 123K bbls/d (@Surmont), and path submitted for another 160K bbls/d (total of 493K bbls/d within 18 to 24 months).
They have extremely VALUABLE BOOKED pipeline capacity (50k now and 100k bbls/d in summer of 2020 to the US Gulf Coast).
This is my opinion only.

not too good news for BTE - how much of MEG is heavy oil? what you value BTE compared to MEG - sounds like a fair amount less?
