One more thing.
And I can tell you from the point of view of someone who's been an industry observer.
Oil exploration and production (and all the adjunct activities that go with it) is a FEAST OR FAMINE business. It's almost as bad as high-tech companies.
In other words, it's cyclical.
I can remember not too long ago (mid 1990's) when the oil companies WEREN'T making money and were laying people off by the truckload.
