Flush with cash, Canadian oilpatch rapidly slashes debt levels yyc yycbiz Column by ChrisVarcoe:

“We are close enough to zero that we may get to zero . . . We’re so low, it’s kind of an irrelevant level right now.”

Enerplus CEO Ian Dundas said such a strategy provides companies with more stability and resiliency to withstand sudden shifts in oil and gas prices.
