We were energy independent without the pipeline. Still could be with proper defiance.
Yep!
There’s fixing to be another wave of oil to hit the markets here in a few months. Once the prices got back up the drilling has fired back up and we’ll see the results of that soon. Might also mention that many of the wells that were drilled when the prices were down were never fraced due to the cost. Here in the Permian Basin the activity has increased considerably. Big Frac jobs and Horizontal wells are happening all over. From the main gate of the ranch I can see 4 rigs drilling right now and several new locations being built.
