Cenovus Energy Inc.
CENOVUS ENERGY $15.11 (Toronto symbol CVE; Shares outstanding: 833.2 million; Market cap: $12.4 billion; TSINetwork Rating: Average; Dividend yield: 1.3%; www.cenovus.com) took a big drop after its recent deal to acquire control of its main oil sands properties in Alberta.
However, that acquisition more than doubles the company’s output and positions it for strong future growth.
Right now, Cenovus already owns 50% of the Christina Lake and Foster Creek oil sands projects; ConocoPhilips (New York symbol COP) owns the other 50%.
The company has agreed to buy ConocoPhillips’ interest in both Alberta properties, along with ConocoPhillips’ conventional oil fields in that province and B.C.
The total cost is $17.7 billion....

Another way to profit from higher oil prices is to invest in companies that sell vital equipment and services to producers such as Encana and Cenovus (see pages 31 and 32).
Conservative investors should stick with Finning. If you can accept the higher risk, we also like Precision Drilling.
