- By selling natural gas assets in Canada and San Juan, COP has effectively become an oil-driven operator in North America
- Very few dry gas assets are left in the company's North American portfolio
- While a spike in natural gas prices could make the divestitures look under-priced, the divestitures appear to make financial and operational sense
- Without access to the industry's leading-edge sweet spots – which were scarce in COP's portfolio - competing in natural gas is a recipe for weak returns
