Stock price when the opinion was issued
At one time they were a 40,000 barrel a day producer and he would guess that they have probably had 8 quarters of declining production. Abysmal exploration success. Drilled a lot of dry holes. Also, have issues with convertible debentures that they had to push out the maturity of. They are now trying to divest some pipeline assets.
Have had a string of dusters. Had a large production base with a high decline rate so they were relying on exploration success to make up for their declines. Trading at a very low ratio to proved reserve values. Also, Colombia has been a disaster to invest in.
