Hi there Rob79,
I enjoy your well researched intellectual posting, a much needed change to the SSN forum.
Of course Management can't be blamed for POO. I question the production number atm and what has been spent to get it to this struggling 900bopd. In 2010 the company had $80mill cash and $11mill in a term debt facility.
Expected Bakken production back then was, 2,000bopd and today it's at 900bopd and yet to crack the 1,000bopd. Thats a big disappointment I would say, especially considering the 900bopd is not just the Bakken, it is the whole coy production . It wasn't the shareholders who set the benchmark it was Management.
TB has a lot on his plate and i understand it's a tough business to be in , especially these days with the current POO but, my sincere question remains, how will the company fund future drills in order to keep above that dreaded decline curve ? Debt is building and cash is very hard to come by.
My post is sincere and not a bashing ! I am really intrigued as to how TB will get this thing going because it has been 5 years since the sale of the Goshen. If he gets it going as many think he will, he will earn a much deserved pay rise and a bloody good one at that. How long will it take though ?
Good luck to all.

Just to add, it depends on what/who's yardstick you use to measure success. Some say Management have done a good job under difficult circumstances. Going back 5 years ago when cash was at TB's fingertips I would say life was much easier, is it a case of they should have made hey when the sun was shining ? Very difficult environment for TB today.
