• 2. KLR Group analysts commented, "We are decreasing our target price $0.25 to $4 following numerous model refinements including higher operating expenses and lower natural gas price realizations partly offset by an improvement in capital productivity (now modeling wells recover ~675 Mboe, up from ~650 Mboe previously) and higher NGL price realizations. Our target price is anchored on a mid-cycle $80 oil and $4 natural gas price deck. Approach generates a '19 capital yield of ~130% vs. the industry median of ~145%." (3/14/2017)
