Enterprise Value (EV): $2.85 billion, with net debt of $814 million.
Current EV/BOE: $4.40 (reflects contingent resources) vs. competitors' average of $22.73 for proved reserves.

Upside potential:Target price: $155-$200 per share (up to 8.7 times its current value).
But if it goes wrong, everything is lost. It is a binary idea.
