Buyout Yes -- And Here is Why1. US Shale Production already short on production growth and wells decline quickly. Not so with Ath.
2. Proven reserves.
3. Not likely to ever be any new heavy oil startups again.
4. In 2022 there was three takeovers.
A big demand for heavy oil in the USA will continue.
Ath attractive when production costs down to 39 to 40 USD a barrel. Debottlenecking will help and debt retirement will help overall costs.
So yes and yes.
Stop hating the wonderful supply of crude oil that exists in Canada.
Expect 5 bucks this year.
