07:01 - Why the TPI is a good measure of the general health of the industry. Right. Historically?

10:50 - We had over 2000 rigs active at one point - what happened?

13:10 - How the Texas industry is reaching record new production for crude oil and natural gas without a record rig count, and thus without record employment
