There are certainly some confused and/or incorrect statements in that article. However, the headline may very well be correct regardless of the reasoning.

One of the things that anybody over 30 ye ...

Bakken is a big pile of schist

Ack. It is primarily shale with dolomite. A schist is a metamorphic rock. It is possible that I missed the humor and this was a reference to the ceramic comment made ...

Excellent update!

I'm looking for a couple of rigs for my area. Since there are likely a bunch of unused/unloved ones up in ND and MT, could you please check on availability? I also have a phantom ...

KTH - I was referring to the USGS use of the word...not yours. I wasn't clear in my post.

"You keep using this word 'continuous'. I do not think that word means what you think it means." [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2y8Sx4B2Sk]Inconceivable

Clearly my definition of a continuous ...

Thus far, the big wells have produced from a specific portion of the bakken (being intentionally vague here). That portion of the Bakken is certainly not uniform across the entire region.

I guess ...

I haven't read all of the reports that are being discussed here so what I am going to type might be redundant.

To me, some of the most interesting experiments were the ones designed to "fingerprin ...

I agree that we still have to wait and see as to whether or not the amount of oil that Leigh and others thought/think is there really is there. I feel comfortable saying right now that this is not one ...

Price isn't the author I want to question, he didn't do an assessment of the Bakken, just used a couple of samples to create some wildly interesting numbers for 30,000 mi^2 of rock.

At the risk of ...

Let's put it this way, I fart more gas than they'll find in the Utica.

Yes...the Utica is a terrible source rock and reservoir. You should stay far, far away from it at all costs. There will NEVER ...

It is going to be interesting to watch how this plays out. The productive area has the potential to be quite large. The poor wells seem to IP around 300 bbl/day. The best well I've heard of, to date, ...

I was talking before about how these recent Bakken wells cost between $3-$5 million each to drill and complete. The wells drilled within the Parshall field proper (18 wells) make approximately 1000 bb ...

Right now, nobody knows how large the Bakken play will be. It might be a very small drop in the bucket. The individual wells that are being drilled and completed right now are most certainly EROI posi ...

(Texas average is 15 barrels not 1)

I don't like to nitpick, but a stripper well is one that produces less than 10 bbl/d. I think the average is 2.5 bbl/d for all stripper wells in the USA. I don't ...

Dead stripper wells in Texas produce that much.

Both you guys claim to be in the oil business, yet your ignorance says volumes about the deep dark hole we have dug ourselves into.

Stripper wells ...
