Thanks for the article link dawala.

As we know ConocoP are no lightweights and do their homework. Here's a broad picture from Rampart Energy of active companies on the north slope

I'm not holding my breath for Umiat, I still think there is a couple of more years there before we celebrate or commiserate.

Best case scenario for my 2c opinion, is that this winter drill is successful and we may garner interest in a JV (such as ConocoP) to take over this not inexpensive project.
