EPS and P/E ratios are broad indicators used by many investors, you are right that they alone don't precisely measure the overall health of the company. Quite often the P/E ratio will be low for companies thought to be in trouble and high for those thought to have a bright future.
However HUR is not yet seen as an oil production company (thus measured primarily by P/E ), it is still an exploration company and thus its main value driver will be its assets (2p, 2c resources, etc.) If HUR is not taken out in next 12 months time it will likely be based on its asset/resource value , however if no take over then the market may well begin to value it more as a production company (albeit with a strong asset base)!?
