I asked her directly, and of course she can't answer directly. In our round about dance it seemed as if Patrick is preparing to mine as he should, (as opposed to sit and wait for a bid, doing nothing else), but with majors losing production year over year, and the queries they are getting, it seems pretty obvious there is plenty of interest in bidding.

If/when that happens, then we are in a different stage. Everything to get interest in the bidding process, competing bids, maximizing the value of FDN, and of course promoting the positives of FDN.
