Where MNR is headed

Mach isn't trying to be a shale growth story. Tom Ward built this thing to do one deeply unfashionable job: buy mature, cash-generative acreage at pennies on the dollar when nobody else wants it, then pay unitholders back through the cycle. The Anadarko is the sandbox. It's an old, well-understood basin that public E&Ps have been fleeing for a decade because it doesn't fit the Permian growth narrative. Mach has been hoovering up assets there at valuations that would be impossible in the Midland or Delaware.
