From the transcript
Well, the first thing to remember is that we're not running out of gas in Cook Inlet. We have 19 trillion cubic feet of reserves. We have 3 trillion of proven reserves. This notion that we need to— that it's running out of gas is what we're running out of is contracts for deliverable gas because Hilcorp wants to exit the basin and move to the North Slope because they make more money out of oil than they— and they saved us. Remember, we've been in this boat before.
