The flooding was not just a pipeline issue. Employees couldn't come to work, families in shelters. I'm sure this impacted the drilling and to what extent only the people at the company know.
When the sh** is hitting the fan I'm sure manaagement was doing the resource allocation cost benefit of what was a priority. It is not like they will be able to ship any new oil anytime soon.
As an investor I figure if the well is producing and shipping (with the pipeline up) by the end of the year things will be fine.
As an example Sandy was 3 months ago. I'm still having supply issues from NJ.
