Good day

Hi Arne — thanks so much for getting back to me. I really appreciate you reaching out. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about energy partnerships, especially with the new shale developments in the Permian — that’s where I’ve been spending more time lately, actually. My office here in Houston is full of folks who’ve been working on cross-border well integrity cases, and I’ve been taking a few walks through the oil field roads near Baytown just to clear my head. I’m genuinely excited about the idea of a strategic initiative — especially one with potential advantages. Could you clarify what kind of partnership you’re envisioning? Are we talking about joint venture structures, operational support, or something more like a data-sharing or regulatory compliance framework? Also, do you have any idea about the timeline or key stakeholders involved? I’m assuming it might need some due diligence, and I’m wondering if there’s a preliminary document or proposal you’d be open to sharing. And just to be honest — I’ve been thinking about how lonely things have been lately, so if this could lead to something meaningful, even just a chance to talk through it, I’d be very open to diving in. Looking forward to your thoughts. Best regards, Danny Smith Oil and Gas Litigation Attorney Houston, Texas Sent from my iPad Best regards, Danny Smith +17163259415
