Yes, I understand that EV/NPV is the logical metric. Perhaps both academically sound and also used by pro analysts.

I find though it doesn't work for me. I can't screen for it.

Doesn't work all the time, either. (Well of course nothing does.) Lot of buys & some holds by Wolff all the while while oil/gas stocks were crashing. I don't recall any McDep sell recommendations at oil peak. (I could be wrong about none.)

Oil/gas stocks with the criteria I mentioned that I am looking for are pretty rare from what I am finding. Doesn't mean they're values if found, but I'd still like to see more such companies to review further.

RE: COP vs CVX

Not sure if the move in COP today (up 1.4%) is due to beginning of quarter or valuation but it is out performing CVX (down 1.6%), XOM (down 1.2%), BP (down 2.29%) or for that matter any of the other major integrated oil companies. COP is trading up on 40% more than average volume.

Maybe the mutual fund and institutional buyers are finding more value in COP today.

It's the only green on my screen except for my two short positions.
