I'll bet this guy knows a lot more than he said in the interview. Somebody needs to corner him with unlimited coffee or brewskis and pump him. Thirty years in the oil business yields more than a few lines. Let's get him and T. Boone Pickens together and see some sparks. After living in west texas for years even I know more than he said. He needs to pull some casing and pump mud for us.
