Slider, I'm vaguely aware of FEN but I don't follow it. I'm not in the oil bidness, but like many Alaskans I pay attention to oil prices because much of our state budget is based on oil income. One interesting local story I read earlier this summer... Oil industry is experimenting with using flexible piping on the North Slope. Apparently the same sort of stuff they use to transport oil underwater in the GOM. They're laying it right on the tundra and running it thru ponds. Should greatly reduce the environmental impact of rigid piping and the associated gravel roads and pads. More tidbits... Had a crew in last weekend building a shed in my back yard. One of the guys was a laid-off pipe-fitter from the North Slope... Then I read there was a big shortage of pipe-fitters etc. down on the Kenai Peninsula where they are building modules for the North Slope. -Greg
