RE:Vermilion will be crushed by 2 billion debtHow so? $2b @6.5% (which is not their overall debt cost) is $130m/yr. With capex under $500 and dividend around $400, debt seems very sustainable at current WTI prices (and if oil weakens, trim the divvy by 10-20% and debt service is fully funded.
If i were the company, i'd be using the cheap credit to buy back shares when they were yielding 14-15%.
