Oil will stay elevated until the end of the year because of damage to infrastructure and it will take time to get it back on. Also there are declining strategic oil reserves around the world. The physical world market is trading at a significant premium to the financial world - the financial market is being manipulated by the US administration. He doesn't see the end of the war with Iran in sight.
Natural gas is different - it is primarily a heating fuel and we are heading into an El Nino winter. However Europe is short of natural gas.
Besides Iran, outside catalysts for stocks might be production increases, announced joint ventures, acquisitions, or cheap valuations.
It is a great company with great assets. It is an overlooked stock so it's a good time to buy. It has heavy exposure to refining which is good. It also has exploration upside so has both the upstream and downstream components covered. He went on to explain that fully integrated companies have three components; Upstream which covers exploration and production, Midstream which is gathering, pipelines, etc., and Downstream which is refining and marketing.
The caller wondered about taking profits in this company. You could take a pause for a gas related stock but WCP is still very strong with a lot of production over a diverse number of regions. He would sell half and take profits, but keep half. He thinks that oil stays at $100 per barrel for the rest of the year.
When asked to compare these four large companies if the price of oil drops, he felt that CNQ is a phenomenal company that's hard to beat. Suncor has been a turnaround story for the past two years. The quarterly reports have been much better. Rich Kruger is moving on to be the Executive Chair. If the price of oil does drop Imperial might be the best defensive play.
Editor's Note; For Cenovus, please refer to his previous answer.

One of the largest companies in the Montney area and the economics are very attractive there. It is both oil and gas but primarily oil. Has strong production numbers and is highly profitable. It seems destined to be taken out, either a part of it or all of it. Has very good insider holdings at 18% of which the CEO owns 14%. It is an acquisitive company with a $2 billion market cap. Still good to hold or buy.
