From the transcript
Um, that being the case, we believe that the Harvest LNG import project is the right LNG import project that can be accomplished by 2029 in order to bridge that gap and buy us 3 or 4 more years to gain access to North Slope gas through a gas pipeline, or could be expanded to meet the market needs, uh, if the North Slope gas line does not come to pass. That LNG import facility is going to require additional gas storage facilities in order for us to manage the nature of that supply And to that end, Hilcorp is developing additional gas storage facilities. We believe we're the right operator and developer of those facilities. That's really our core skill set, is drilling and completing gas wells and managing gas reservoirs. And then finally, I'll talk about the gas supply situation for this coming winter.
