RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Q3 report not as good...dividend in mid 2022 and not nowI think it's worth remembering that it's only been nine months since WTI passed the US$55 mark. CJ started off the year overburdened with bank-enforced hedges that have taken at least half of the year to wind down. Realistically, the company has just started to make money in this past quarter. At this point I'm content to see them pay down bank debt over the next 2 or 3 quarters instead of turning on the dividend taps when they still have a lot of work to do on the balance sheet.
Looking at the Corporate presentation that they just released, they've put a lot of thought into their future dividend strategy at various pricing scenarios. They've set some tangible targets, which means that they've set expectations that they'll be measured against.
As for CAPEX, you can fund a lot of future CAPEX from internally-generated cash-flow if you're not paying down debt or spending $10M annually on debt servicing charges.

You push more spending into the futre on capex side.
At 80 wti and 5 ng...spending lots on drilling right now is a good thing.
