Houston made the mistake of continuing to invest money into drilling the Fayetteville Shale and purchasing the WV assets when they should have stuck a fork in the Fayetteville Shale 5 years ago and passed on the WV deal. If they were smart, they would have invested money into one of the many opportunities they had to pick up Permian acreage back when it was going for reasonable prices. So the workers in Arkansas and WV should be happy corporate is so dumb, because if they weren't dumb, many of those folks would be frying chicken at a gas station, or jobless.
