text: Danno it sounds like you are calling for the breakup of the slope "cartel",.. that being the signers of the  "Prudhoe Bay joint-operating-unit agreement"? That`s the governing document concerning development on the leases BP Conoco and Exxon are leasing from the people of Alaska,...a cartel in which none of the three alone or with another partner, ( or the state in say a joint venture with Conoco), are able to drill a foot anywhere on the slope legacy leases without the consent of the other two. Have you grown your retirement beard yet Danno? or is it too hot down in Florida?
