Can do either. In Canada, he choose CNQ, and EOG in the U.S. CNQ acts like an annuity, requiring massive upfront investment, but cash flows for a long time. EOG has unique assets. But he wouldn't buy energy now. The supply chain problems now won't last forever. You can buy either stock on a pullback.
A US name to look at if you don't want to deal with the geopolitical or the heavy-oil takeaway capacity. Those constraints wouldn't affect this non-Canadian name. Probably the lowest-cost operator in the US, and one of the lowest globally. Does well operating in the counter-cyclical model.
Sharp selloff along with the price of oil, and it's just to do with the economic sensitivity of the commodity. Yield is 3.2%.
The unique thing is their cost profile -- it is very low compared to peers. The trouble for CVE is getting their production out of Canada. That is why he favours pipelines over producers. There is too much commodity price risk, so he would not be a buyer. You might want to consider EOG instead as they do not have pipeline constraints to worry about.
He is taking all the oil nonsense and eliminating it. The US will be world’s top producer in 2015 because of the Eagleford shale area in Texas. It is twice the size of the Bakken field and a lot closer to the surface so it will cost about 40% less to drill. Also, very close to the Gulf, which will save about $40 a barrel because there will be less transportation costs. Will also have Brent pricing. Price to cash flow is 6.9. Yield of 0.45%.
