#AskBoone.
Legendary oilman T. Boone Pickens took questions from his legions of Twitter followers Jan. 13, sharing his thoughts about the commodities market, OPEC and, of course, his beloved Oklahoma State University.
For the record, he’s pulling for OSU Coach Mike Gundy.
Pickens had much to say about oil prices, E&P acquisitions and divestitures and, rather sharply, the Keystone XL pipeline: “Enough already. Approve it. Let’s make it a shovel ready project. Let’s be for something on energy and not against it.”
Pickens said the M&A market would be robust this year because of low commodity prices. He also said that rig counts are going to be a clue to when the market bottoms out.
“We’ll probably go down by 500-600” rigs, he said.
