Autosime: Far from being an expert, I would nevertheless feel comfortable to state that for OIL exposure only, ITC has the better leverage. BUT VPE is mainly a CSG play nowadays and is having the additional benefit of this good oil exposure in this "oil fairway". (And VPE has also already a 10% stake in ITC). So both stocks have great merits in their own right. All purely JIMHO, of course.
