barrons2	Buy - Price 46.78 on Oct. 10 by Sterne Agee Target: 60. Fir Tree Partners announced that it would support PXP's acquisition of Pogo Producing (PPP). Several weeks ago, Fir Tree had sent a letter to PXP that said it would oppose the acquisition....With the now probable success of the acquisition of PPP, the number of shares increases from about 72 million to about 114 million in 4Q07. We have been informed by PXP that they own roughly 30% of the total Flatrock wells. If the Flatrock area totals 1.5 tcf [trillion cubic feet] in reserves and those reserves were to be sold for $3 to $3.25 per mcf [thousand cubic feet], the discovery is now worth about $12 per share to PXP. Our $60 target price equates to 38 and 8.2 times our 2007 estimated EPS and Ebitda [earnings before interest, taxes, deprecation and amortization], respectively.	Love	October 13, 2007

Fir Tree said that Plains Exploration, an energy company, could generate more than $1 billion in aftertax proceeds from the "opportunistic" sale of its noncore assets. Without doing the deal, the company could also buy back 20 million to 25 million of its shares, Fir Tree said. If Plains Exploration successfully forms an upstream master limited partnership, its shares could be worth $70 to $75, Fir Tree said in the letter. Fir Tree reported ownership of 6,651,600 shares (9.1% of the total outstanding)"	Love	September 08, 2007
