Ed, just for the sake of conversation on the topic.
How critical to the industry is that lease mentioned in your OP?
How much overall effect will it have on production should it even pan out?
How many already leased/explored, and even previously producing, areas are now "mothballed" (for lack of a better term) that could be brought back into production quickly and that would actually provide more immediate benefit to the American consumer in particular and the O&G industry in general?
I ask you because even though I could likely search industry/.gov sources to find the answers it would take me much longer than I have any interest in doing so today.
As they say, ask an expert.
Thanks in advance.
