RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:CaterwaulingGear can probably operate for a long time with WCS currently in the $45 range. The problem is the dividend cannot continue indefinitely at the current price of WTI and WCS.
Gear's Q4 news release will be on February 22. If the price of oil rebounds significantly by then, great, no worries. If it is still about the same as today, management will likely be saying something about the dividend on or before that day.
The Keystone pipeline being shut down for at least two weeks could be a bigger cash flow problem for some small Canadian oil companies.
Contact Gear Energy and ask them if either of these issues could be a problem for them.

Anyone that thinks an 11% annual dividend is "very minor-league" should learn more about dividend paying stocks.
Not sure why anyone wants to argue with what Gear Energy has stated in their December 2022 presentation.
If WTI is at or above US$80/bbl, the dividend is forecast to be funded with free FFO. Prices below that, would necessitate a reduction in capital and/or the dividend
GXE's free cash flow calculation to cover the dividend is based on WTI at $80 and WCS at $62 or above. WCS is nowhere near that level at the moment. That's a problem that anyone holding this stock or thinking about buying this stock should be aware of.
