this is what happens in O&G if its a duster... Thats just the way the cookie crumbles. If this company (or a different company) lands a huge successful drilling program they'll go the way BRU did a couple of years ago. But for every BRU there is 2-3 NEN/JPR/GDN etc. etc.
The good thing about NEN is that it isnt a 1 trick pony so not all is lost for you guys.
