From the transcript
We sold a little bit of additional gas to Matanuska Electric last year. We sold a little bit of additional gas to Enstar this year. But make no mistake, and I'm sure that Mr. Sims will reference this, we are getting dangerously close to not having enough gas to go around. And I think the utilities will affirm that they are expecting shortages here in the near term. You know, all that despite the fact that Hilcorp invests $400 to $500 million a year in ensuring that we are bringing Cook Inlet gas to market.
