RE:RE:RE:CVE/ BNNi agree, CVE acquired HSE during the low market cycle, using stock no cash.
CVE was weak in downstream and acquiring HSE fixed that in 1 move plus more SAGD oil sands assets. Both are into SAGD not mining. LKS has thick skin but lost patience with canadian red tape and regulation, wants out of canada but not oil/gas, so he took CVE shares for hse.

I've been down on management for a couple years now see prior posts. Didn't sell because taxes. Never liked US refining for CVE. Husky was a bad deal compounded by what they sold and didn't sell ***
- BUYING Husky Energy was a GREAT MOVE
- ONLY PROBLEM was that they OVERPAID
- US crude oil refineries are GREAT ASSETS but the 50% BP refinery (Toledo) was POORLY OPERATED which is NOW SAFELY in the HANDS of OPERATOR Cenovus Energy
- with the HUSKY BUYOUT, we GOT a BRAND NEW REFINERY COURTESY of the INSURANCE COMPANIES {USD 950+ million CAPEX for Superior Refinery}
- Wood River refinery is a MUST BUY for CVE as it is CAPABLE of PROCESSING 240,000 bbls/d of HEAVY CRUDE OIL (WCS) on a 100% BASIS IF the PRICE IS RIGHT
- a GOOD PICTURE and HISTORY of the Wood River Refinery:

- being an INTEGRATED PETROLEUM company MAKES YOU a MUCH STRONGER company when the PRICE of CRUDE OIL and NATURAL GAS DECLINES
