Forest
Oil has modified the successfully implemented
4-point strategy launched in the Fall of 2003,
to focus on the new asset base. The people of
Forest Oil are entrusted with the responsibility
to grow the Company according to the tenets
of the revised 4-point strategy.
Organic
growth is the first tenet of the 4-point strategy.
This will be accomplished through exploitation
of our new portfolio with strategic emphasis
on our resource plays.
Cost
reduction in all areas of the business is the
second point. In particular, drilling and completion
costs play an increasingly important role in
the economics of our multi-year and multi-well
resource plays. Therefore, these costs will
be a primary area of focus for Forest Oil.
Point
three addresses the continuation of our successful
acquisition and exploitation strategy.
The
fourth tenet is the preservation of financial
flexibility with continued attention to disciplined
spending and free cash flow generation from
every business unit. Flexibility allows us future
opportunities for capital reallocation following
drilling success and acquisition opportunities.
