RE:People are Actually Buying More??? Don't take this delay so seriously.
Things go wrong on every project & the more complex the building or rig is, the more things go wrong that will cause or threaten a delay in completion.
Managers in construction have to battle these things almost every day; it's not really a big deal.
The closer to completion (first oil) the worse it seems because expectations are higher.
By the time they get the oil/gas flowing, the PoO will likely be $55 and you'll be all smiles.
