RE:RE:RE:Interesting rumor...Interesting perspective :
The advantage of doing this deal is that they can get rid of Marathon as the operator of the Eagleford property. The Ranger management team can takeover the complete Texas operation giving you a net cost savings. Rangers production has been declining as so has Eagleford maybe this deal was done months ago. Management says they want to increase production out of this area . You have the gulf refineries with higher oil prices and large exports expected.
