AOGCC Update
For those interested, DME's request for extending tempory abandonment status for Wells 1 and 2 to March 31, 2022 was approved today. Jessica Davey (VP of Land for DME) was in attendance but did not speak. It approving DME's request, it was explained that DME had communicated that it was facing 40 week lead time for key items needed for production at Wells 1 and 2, plus the additional time needed for delivery and assembly. In discussion, the Commission noted that equipment delays were quite common in the industry right now.
I assume DME wanted to have a significant buffer - as March 31, 2022 is really far out. FYI, from other discussion at the meeting, it appears DME would need to approach the Commission again for approval to access/test a well that is in temporary abandonment status (as Wells 1 and 2 will be for the foreseeable future).
In summary, there really weren't any significant new DME updates from the meeting - other than the actual approval of its extention requests for Wells 1 and 2 of course. The extended timeline for production at that gas field by DME was already discussed by Robert in the Ellis Martin interview earlier this morning.

They applied for temporary abandoment not an abandonment permit. Which would basically means "suspend" the Well. They have to plug it with something temporarily that can be removed. Doesnt mean they have to come back and redrill the thing over again.

You are correct, MM - thanks for catching that typo. Shockingly, March 2022 is actually not very far away now - unless one is waiting for initial revenues to commence of course. It's all a matter of perspective I guess.
