I was talking to a fellow University of Houston Law Center LL.M. grad and buddy of mine who has spent a large chunk of his life in the oil business in Texas, first as a "land man" for Standard Oil in the 1970s and 80s and later as an oil and gas attorney in Victoria, Ft. Worth, and now Houston, Texas.I asked him if he had ever heard of Hyperion, the company that may build a refinery near Elk Point.
His answer: No.
He did say there are a lot of oil companies, drillers, etc. in Texas that he hasn't heard of and that some big companies operate under names even he might not recognize.
But don't you find it just a bit odd that someone well-versed in the oil business in Texas has never heard of Hyperion?
Just something else that makes you want to go "hmmmm" about the project.
