Absolutely!

Drilling new sites and building the pipelines does not necessarily mean they have to get it out of the ground. But even at the low prices, they can at least pump smaller (and economical, of course) quantities. They don't have to go the 40,000+ potential they have right now with Bolivar.

Razor,
I agree completely with drilling.... its selling the crude that doesn't make sense.... for cash flow they aren't in a bind for.
I am trying to drill a well now myself. We will save twenty to thirty percent at today's costs.
Finishing the pipeline wouldn't hurt either, but drilling builds reserves which can be leveraged.
My remarks were only in regard to the issue of cash flow. The oil is worth more in the ground at the present time.
I get the impression that some people chasing this stock are looking for a "bottom line" (earnings). This company isn't going to show earnings for several years. That's not what they are about. They will be plowing every nickel back into the ground to grow reserves.
I think you and I see pretty much the same picture. Its an E&P company.
