You know, the largest conventional fields are largely in Alaska.

You guys just mentioned the North Slope.

Most of Alaska's conventional fields.

But, you know, the Permian Basin and a lot of the other big shale basins, I mean, that's where the majority of the oil comes from these days.

I mean, you know, out of that 13 million barrels a day, you know, at least five comes from the Permian and that's mostly from shale.

So it's I think it's fine to kind of conflate the two, to be honest.

That's where most of the capital goes and that's where most of the oil comes from.

No, it's not part of his collection, but I did inherit a lot of his loves, and one of them is I also love maps.

That's an old map of Texas and Oklahoma, which was Indian territory back in the 1800s.

I think this map was made in like 1870.

So I do really appreciate vintage maps.

And so, yeah, you'll see that in the back.

And that may be particular to the oil and gas industry as well, too, because any good oil man, if you walk into a conference room, they're going to have maps up because you kind of got to know where you're drilling and what acreage you own.

And as you said, there's probably a lot of that in Landman.

Yeah.

I mean, there are certain aspects, obviously, that that famous windmill speech that he makes is how a lot of people, a lot of people in our industry feel.

And I believe it's the truth.

A lot of it is obviously there's plenty of exaggerations.

I don't know too many landmen who have had a gun held to their head from from a member of the cartel.

There's a lot of truth in the industry.
