Re: Business opportunity

Hi Des, Thanks for getting back to me — I actually did receive your email a few days ago, and I’m really glad you mentioned it. I’ve been busy with a few court filings this week, so it took me a bit to respond properly. I’m still trying to sort out the latest updates from the Houston office, especially with the new regulatory changes in the Gulf region that affect offshore drilling permits. I’ve been working on a side project with a retired oilman from Beaumont — we’re testing a new compliance model for wellhead reporting. He’s actually been very helpful, and I’ve been using his old field notes to cross-reference current data. It’s kind of a fascinating blend of old-school knowledge and modern tech. Honestly, I’ve started thinking about how much we could improve transparency in the industry — especially with how many small operators are getting caught in procedural gaps. Back to your email — you mentioned a partnership opportunity? Could you clarify what kind of role you’re looking for? Are you hoping for a joint venture or something more structured like a shared investment? Also, is there a timeline or specific phase you’re aiming for? I’m not rushing, but I do want to make sure we’re on the same page. Looking forward to hearing from you — and if you’re open to a quick call, I’d love to connect.
