VTLE is losing as much as they are
gaining because of increasing oil
hedges for 3rd quarter and 4th quarter
after completing recent acquisition...
Company they bot had great hedges
that they terminated before deal close...
4th quarter shows about 29,000 bbls/day
were hedged around $71/bbl...
3rd quarter only shows about 23,000
bbls/day hedged at about $73/bbl...
That info was released in presentation
after the 2nd quarter report...
There were big hedges added after the
recent acquisition at low prices due
to inconvenient timing...
And position size has been reduced
accordingly in the price rally...
Real good hedged positions if the oil
price does plunge below $70/bbl...
Expecting to add back soon when the
oil prices corrects as needed...
Gravity has been a terror for oil prices
in 2023...
So we watch...LJ
