Took this from the I3E report:
"The COVID-19 pandemic has forced change in almost every facet of our lives. Its longevity and long-term effects have yet to be determined and they could forever alter society's previous trajectory. A high degree of uncertainty mixed with universally contracting economies has caused demand destruction for oil, and this on the back of an ill-timed and miscalculated price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia which saw WTI trade in negative territory for the first time in history. These events have caused an unprecedented environment for our sector that has left companies deceased, despondent or driving ahead. We have sat squarely in that latter camp, aggressively pursuing assets during a market bottom and employing a creative acquisition and divestment and funding strategy to simultaneously stabilise and grow our business."
Obviously nothing to do with #Zen but they do seem to concur that aggressive purchasing of distressed production assets at artificially low valuations is the way to go.
