I'll match my years experience in this industry with any Dill Weed.  SB 21 was the only prompt needed to bring in the "smaller" predatory oil men.  If Hilcorp did not pick up Badami, then I'm misinformed, but they did pick up the smaller production unit from BP.  Milne Point was and is the only significant producer and Hilcorp only got 1/2 of that, to my understanding. We Alaskans are going to be left holding a lot of oil field junk when the last of the big TX wheelers and dealers fill their guts.
