Enerplus Resources Fund ( ERF ) will receive C$500-million from Occidental Petroleum Corp. ( OXY ) for its 15% interest in the Joslyn oil sands project. The proceeds will initially be alloted to reducing the company’s bank debt, but may eventually be used for acquisitions or development opportunities, according to Canaccord Adams analyst Kyle Preston, who noted that the trust announced plans to sell the stake on March 25.

   Just like their former president,  this company is an international man of mystery.  They have major exposure in North Africa, the Middle East, and South America.  Their domestic operations are impressive though.  They are the largest oil producer in Texas and the largest natural gas producer in CA.  They also have operations in KS and OK.
   The company has two main divisions: oil & gas and chemicals.  They turned in a great quarter and production increased.  That last part is particularly exciting with prices for all their major products increasing.
