Correct. Gotta use the regulations to crush smaller companies.

Man I’m not the quickest mind in the room and that’s what I immediately thought.

OK. Not immediately but after like a minute to a minute and a half

Likely they spent a lot of money complying with the Obama-era regs, and now can’t stand to walk away from the ROI.

Right. These regulations make it economically unfeasible for smaller independent drillers to operate. Big oil colludes with big government to limit the competition.

Got it in one.

The big boys are in favor of government regulations because it keeps the little guys, who may someday become big guys, out of the field.

The big guys can afford to hire lawyers, lobbyists and paper pushers to deal with regulations. The small guys, who are working on a shoestring budget, can not.
