Maybe enough to salvage Q3 2009 drilling programs, but the damage is done. The Oilpatch is typically 6 months to a year behind the trends.
The Oilpatch has nothing on the pollution that agriculture (you'd be shocked and appalled at some of the things farmers do), forestry, coal and manufacturing are allowed to get away with per capita. The patch also pays very dearly for what they can't fix, the others sure don't.
