A different point of view
Everybody here seems to think that production growth is the key driver for YGR. But if they manage to achieve guidance of production growth of 2000 barrels at todays prices, free cash flow would already be at 52 mil. We all understand that YGR needs to bring their debt down to 1x cash flow, works out to, at todays prices, about 155 mil. This should be achieved in 2022 based on them having 52 mil free cash flow. Basically we are investing in a company that was able to grow production by 20% and reduce debt by close to 25%.
For 2023 they are guiding about 80 mil free cashflow, based on todays natural gas & oil prices. This will mean that approx. half could be designated for a dividend and would still leave a substantial amount for more debt reduction, share buybacks or production increases. Based on a 40 mil potential dividend, investors buying the shares today could expect close to .50 per share div. Possibly 20 to 25%.
Basically all this company needs to do is meet guidance for cap/x and production growth and 4.00 a share should be easily acheivable.

My problem with FCF is it's very hard to break out maintenance capital from growth capital. Lots of companies claiming FCF numbers while production shrank and lots being penalized for low FCF while production grew. FFO doesn't have those issue. It's pure funds generation
