What’s happening and why Lots of speculation and while it is amusing to read it is a waste of time to try to figure out what they or any oil company is doing or will do next. I've been in the Alberta and Saskatchewan oil patch in various capacities for years now and seen things change so often and so fast that I don't even question it anymore. If I'm asked why things changed I say it's most likely because the wind changed direction. It's as good an explanation as any. I've been told the job is over and the rig is done and half an hour later they decide to move the rig twenty feet and drill another hole. Why? The wind changed direction now go on with the job and forget about it. Whatever happens I have no input.
