Newly dividend paying light oil producer in Western Canada. They have a sub-100% payout ratio. Very good hedging program.

Much talked about in terms of dividend potential. Efficiencies are being improved, wells coming on better than expected and decline weight is being brought down and net backs are very good because oil weighting is very high.

Oil weighted exploration and production company in Western Canada. Strong player in the Viking area in west central Saskatchewan. Producing about 17,000 barrels per day and 71% of it is oil. Forecasting about 30,000 barrels per day in the next 4 years. Growing by both drill bit and acquisitions. Once they have this steady stream production, they can be a dividend payer.

70% light oil producer. A very sustainable business model for the ability to pay a dividend. Anticipated in the next 3 months. Because of capital efficiencies and decline rates in hedging, they are building the ability to pay a dividend very sustainable at $90 oil. Target multiple for him would be 6.5X for an $11 stock.

Oil focused. Getting to be quite large. Made some acquisitions. Focused in a few core areas. Lots of oil. Adding some water flood again trying to take advantage of long life oil reserves. When they are comfortable with that they will probably give some of that money back to investors.

Pretty good name. Good earnings growth. A lot of potential upside. Most analysts are bullish on this name.
