Agreed. If this had been strictly due to pumping efforts I would have expected the PPS to very promptly return to the sub .0003-4 levels where it has resided pretty consistantly for quite a while. The fact that this hasn't happened suggests other factors are at play- perhaps, as you suggest, recognition of  improved financial stability- maybe that is overstating- at least improved financial survivability- the result of the recent measures taken which you have cited. Which also constitutes evidence of a determination by the BOD to survive to get to the point of drilling. And this- without the really big news for which we are still waiting. When (not if) that comes, it will dwarf this response both in magnitude and sustainability.
