Christmas New Year ShutdownI would point out that usually the oil industry shuts down around the 15 of December and they don't return till the new year.
It allows the workers to go home and enjoy Christmas and New Years with their families. Then back to work. It has been that way all the time I worked in the industry.
I would assume that drilling would be the same as the rest of the industry. Let's hope we know before they shut down.
Good luck to all and a rewarding 2022.
