Have been getting their debt down to a very low level so they have access to capital. Bought out interest in a key property and now have 100%. Very low decline rates. Valuation is high but he has no problem with this because he knows that when they have capital efficiencies with lots of opportunities, they can grow giving more chances to pay a higher dividend. 5.5% dividend yield.
Not a name you have to worry about if interest rates go up. Not yield sensitive. Just boosted their dividend by 5% in October and the 5% dividend is very safe. Estimates effective payout ratio for 2014 at 106%, one of the lowest in the group. Just did a deal that looks accretive to their earnings by about 7%. Growing production well. One of the best names to be looking at in the oil patch for a higher risk investor.
