@skells @NBS @harblinger In our DCF model, we assume U.S. natural gas prices of $4.64 per thousand cubic feet in 2022 and $3.88 in 2023. Our long-term assumption is $3.30 beginning in 2024. For oil, we assume Brent prices of $88 per barrel in 2022 and $81/bbl in 2023. Our long-term oil price assumption is $60/bbl.

NOoooo my social media must be serious 100% of the time, you can't post anime, you can't host parody accounts, you can't have fun, all information must be 100% true and verified™ because I'm too stupid to determine validity myself.
