Company is not without debt...Approximately $70MM drawn on the revolver, with $50MM still available. Believe they have approximately $15MM cash on hand, giving them $55MM net debt.
So, not a killer load of debt, but not quite trivial. Company has used proceeds from '09 equity offering along with internally-generated ebitda to pay down $40ishMM debt in past 15-18 months, which is a nice showing.
Add to that the fact that company spent approx $38MM in capex in 2010 and has budgeted $59MM in 2011, and company has a very nice trajectory.
If, as I have posted on other threads, the company can start off Jan 2012 with approximately 3500-4000 bopd prodcution, company could be able to make even bigger debt paydown in 2012 while simultaneously affording a larger capex program...$100 oil in 2012 could help WRES to generate approximately $150MM in top line revenues.
So,yes, the company has some very favorable resources to develop and should also be able to reduce debt even further in the year ahead
