This is my main focus. IMO it will also be the focus for those in the patch that are low cost producers. It seems niche acquisitions would be more productive for those companies then buying back stock. ECA just made a move and I suspect others will follow. Maybe Exxon, who's Russian Rosneft project seems stalled? I think the possible coming consolidations will benefit US independents the most.

P.S. IMO Countries like Venezuela are getting desperate. What is OPEC thinking now?
