i wonder why the market does not use the $3 paid as a benchmark. note, that rate was for undiscovered oil... and if the market took that into account, RMP would be at $360million valuation today.
if there is a successful find, that should result in multiples of that value not including the higher price of oil today. anyway, back to waiting it out. we can't pump this - just have to let the drill bit and market decide
