We know the gas is stiill sitting there inTexas[And at a much higher price than a year ago. Perhaps the new team will be successful in producing some revenue from the inital discovery well and with revenue [hopefully} from their portion of the Alberta play, they will be able to properly realize the potential of the Texas holding. Apparently we should know fairly soon how successful they will be on reentry into the discovery well-This could be the turn around needed to have a rewarding investment and our wait will not have been in vain. Kudos to those people in Anvil who stuck with it and are giving our investment a second chance.
