In January of 2018, Tom Loughrey had an idea. It was 2008 again, in a way, but this time for E&P companies. They were overvalued, not properly accounting for their inventory or type curves, and Tom saw it as the “Big Short in Energy”. He was shown the elevator in every office he pitched in. That lead him to build FLOW, a tool that helps investors understand the value of the assets in companies they want to buy. How can I stay in top of 50 companies with new data and pricing every day? AI.
Hello #hottakenation! For your #hottakeover-your-commute, I just have “this”:

This week has been (Been hoping that Laredo refi’d in)
So very nice (That new Encana name is like ice)
My mother will start to worry (BlackRock says what’s your hurry?)
My Varde will be pacing the floor (Lilis bears equity owners roar)
Well maybe just a half a drink more (Natural gas records a low on while I pour)
Because baby it’s not cold outside.

Parsley closed the deal with Jagged January 10th and PDC closes their deal with SRC January 14th– two more HQ loses for Denver and a continuation of the theme that only headcount reductions can free up capital for drilling wells since the banks and equity markets are closed.
Finally, headcount reduction announcements out of Apache and Oxy. What does it mean and what’s next for Apache.
