If you are seeking an investment in ELH with added upside if the Cal Canal and other SJ plays come in and relatively little down-side risk if the whole play doesn't pan out, you might look at ELK.

ELK has two buy recommendations on it calling for $6 in 12 months without any input from these plays. They ran into trouble with the low oil prices in Q1 and have a similar high debt level to WML but with the recovery in oil and increases in gas they appear to be back on more solid ground (hence a doubling of stock price in 3 months). They have a solid gas business in Alberta and interesting developments in smallish but low-risk oil pools in Wyoming.

I originally bought & continue to hold ELK but as the potential of this play sunk in I beefed up on HTP and its affiliated co. TMK, both of which have potential for higher relative rewards than ELK. What is nice about this play is that there are a smorgasbord of partners each offering a different risk/reward ratio to cater to different tastes. (Needless to say I have not looked closely at BKP or POU but can see a more risk averse person looking there, as long as he/she believes that the gas/oil sector is in true recovery mode.)

Best of luck with whatever you decide.
