They told us some areas with oil spills would not be inhabited again. In our subdivision, they're saying the structures won't be inhabitable again.

I don't want to build in the parish again. I would say 60 percent of the people aren't going back.

Every negative development in the oil price slams the energy stocks. Oil companies are increasingly dependent on higher oil prices because their own costs are also rising.

The difference this time is people are saying (the oil shortage) is going to go away.

I want us to be the resource for the island.

It really doesn't matter to us. We can sell our oil anywhere.
