Q: Do you have a goal in mind to exit the year with bank debt? And what oil price would be needed to go back to the Beta development program?

A: Jim Frew states goal is to generate positive free cash flow and pay down debt, aiming for 0.5 to 1 turn of leverage. Martyn Willsher adds that Beta development depends on oil price, commodity price, and liquidity; would look to ramp up if oil prices move up in the 60s and liquidity has cushion.

Q: Are we talking more about Haynesville or other opportunities for portfolio optimization?

A: Martyn Willsher says looking at all potential opportunities in portfolio other than Beta that create liquidity to redeploy funds into higher return projects at Beta.
