#1 If you wait too long to find and develop mid-sized accumulations the pipeline will have deteriorated and become unusable, so such accumulations will be uneconomic to ever develop, which is probably the intention.

#4 The dems keep shreaking about it, but in reality the drilling has always planned to be at the edge of the refuge and drill diagonally to the oil. 99% of the refuge wouldn't be touched.

But that doesn't fit the narrative that it will destroy everything so ban it.
