Sounds like a power play with a third party involved to me.

Huh. I have no clue about how any of that works.

He is a guy I've known for a long time and he has some old wells and that out of the blue people have been calling him and offering more than normal to buy the rights. Makes no sense to me but whatever.

It seems like from about 2015-2018, projects to re-frack old wells were steadily hitting my inbox. Doesn't seem as much anymore

It seems the trend the last two to three years has been the large operators (Exxon, Oxy, Chevron) have been divesting of their old arse vertical and even old horizontal wells, and even the associated leases if no desire to drill new horizontals, to much smaller outfits who have an interest in re-stimulating to get a bit more production.

It also gets some plugging & reclamation liability off their hands...supposedly.

Columbia needs us way more than they think.

These little small companies can’t just pull out of relationships with world powers and be like ok, we gonna do it on our own

Big time, it gets them off the books as last operator.

Lean and mean and not so much regulation compliant. For the big producers the juice isnt worth the squeeze.

In the time it took for him to make that statement, hundreds of people were killed in the streets by the cartels.

Wouldn't call it renewed. It becomes more about evaluating EOR projects as fields mature and making bets on the market. There are plenty of operators with much less overhead that can maintain profitability late in the productive life of a well, and that productive life can go for a long, long time. Proposals may have been paused because Trump tends to like low oil prices, which will not support how cost intensive some of these projects can be.
