In fact continuous resources are often the source rock for many traditional fields. If not for continuous resources traditional traps would not have any hydrocarbons in them. A few percent of the oil and gas contained in continuous resource leaked out over long periods of time (millions of years) and accumulated in traps.

1. How low can the price of oil fall without seeing production shut-in at Bakken? I read in an article that growth will continue as long as oil stays above $60. And oil wells start getting shut in when oil falls below $50. But that article was from last year, not sure if any new developments have changed since then. Also I am not sure if that price is the Brent price or the heavily discounted Bakken price.
2. What pipeline projects are currently in the works to relieve the transportation bottleneck at Bakken? I read many of these pipeline projects are far from a sure thing and their future looks ambiguous. Instead, I read about an expansion in rail transportation facilities, hardly an ideal method of transporting oil.

Fracking Safe?
The answer is the same as driving a car or firing a gun. Yes. As long as it is done properly. As for the people who think it will poison the water supply of cities… They do not understand the process or geology in general. Most public cases blamed on hydraulic fracturing have nothing to do with fracking. The cases where natural gas ended up in someone water well is most often related to the drilling process. I.e. drilled through a gas pocket near the surface or the faulty casing. To most people, it does not matter how or what is causing the environmental problems as long as they have something to blame. The problem is that large numbers of people are seeking the wrong solution because they do not understand the problem. Leaky casing is a problem, but it is not likely to endanger a large water supply. Regardless, this post is not about fracking problems, so I will leave it at that. If you want to know more about fracking, please ask or check out the rest of my site.

The tar sands are not shale oil.
