I will soon be dropping PE from the Sweet-16 because it is merging with PXD.

When will you issue your evaluation on the new, integrated pxd, or have I somehow missed it?

We published the PXD profile on November 25, check your email. You can also find it on the EPG website under the Sweet 16 tab.

I like the PXD + PE merger, but I like the DVN + WPX merger even more. Both companies will be "Powerhouse" upstream companies in the Permian Basin. Devon has several other Core Areas, but they have some prime Tier One leasehold in the Delaware Basin. Both companies are expected to raise their dividends in 2021.
