Has been an example of one of the smaller ones that went into a bit of a retreat, but are starting to move again. Good producer. Have gone through the 20,000 a day wall of production and are heading on up.
Has dropped because of 3 dry and abandoned wells. Going to try and get bigger, stronger casings that can handle the pressures. Going to restart in Q1. With their 32,000 BOE's a day should do about $1.35 annualized cash flow. Under $6, it is very cheap. Buy in Q4 of 06.
The company has had execution problems. If they can overcome these problems there will be an upside. At $7.00 it is a buy and he recommends buying it. Target price is $15.00.
