Hi!
Romaron,
I'm calm too.
If you counting a number, before deduction for capex, that shall be taxed around 300-350 (with 35%) you need to have invest between $230-$270 in capex (+abex) to get low tax.
So $305m-$345m, including abex, needs to be invested and I don't see it as an obstacle with fcf (before epl) of +$500m as you still have a part of fcf to use with reducing debt and other things ( my fantasy can use it anyway).
Ok, there is a part that's not will be deducted as I dont really understand but we will figure that out (or someone else) but we doesn't have touch the company's possibility either.
Take new drilling installation on GE, you have the deprecation of five years and use it with pay it in that time, that just use 1/5 of the cost /year so you have more fcf left that year.
There must be a lot of things like that to put some money in and I dont exclude anything.
When investing in drilling you also got more production so its not all bad (EPL), but it's forced, so it's easy to hate.
I'll think that this will be good as we are in a good position (as we don't have to deduct so much debt but there is other company's who's not there and I'm sorry for them.
